* Subverted and lampshaded in [[Peter David]]'s ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man 2099 Meets Spider-Man]]'' one-shot. Due to some time-traveling experiments, Peter Parker (Spider-Man 1995) and Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) switch places. After some running around, the two meet while pursuing a time-traveling Hobgoblin from 2211. Peter Parker/Spidey 1995 promptly quips "I know this is the part where we're supposed to be confused about each other, get into a fight, then settle our differences and chase the bad guy -- but we're short on time, so let's just skip all that, okay?" Miguel, dumbfounded, simply agrees.
* Lampshaded in The Spectacular Spiderman #13 where, before teaming up, Razorback attacks Spiderman because "Isn't that what superheroes do when they first meet?"
* In his first encounter with the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]], the clone Superboy mistakes them for villains. If you [[Wingdinglish|translate the Interlac]], Saturn Girl says "This must be the 20th century tradition of fighting then teaming-up I've heard about."
{{quote| More recently, the JLA/JSA/Legion teamup in the Lightning Saga subverted this slightly by having Superman introduce the Legion team when they showed up in the past {{spoiler|though Karate Kid had been beaten up as Trident earlier}} and in fact Star Boy had already been on one of the teams. But then they all had issues with each other later.<br />
Also subverted in a different meeting of Superboy and a Legion team {{spoiler|turns out the mission team had been pretending to be average citizens and had insuated themselves into his life beforehand}} }}
Line 202:
** The use of this strategy by a player, during a multiplayer match, is the bane of [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] everywhere.
* In ''[[Mortal Kombat]] vs [[The DCU|DC Universe]]'''s story mode, there wouldn't ''be'' a story without this. Only when ready to battle Dark Khan does everyone realize the obvious. And when he does appear, he infects absolutely everyone with the [[Hate Plague|Kombat]] [[Unstoppable Rage|Rage]] to keep it going until [[Superman]] and Raiden are the only ones remaining.
* Mission 6-4 of of ''[[Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings]]''. What makes this so annoying is that it's probably [[Scrappy Level|the hardest battle in the game]].
* ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'' has this to an extent. {{spoiler|Arkham was playing Lady, Vergil and Dante, and trying to get them to fight each other, and weaken each other so that he could come out on top, and open the gate to hell. Dante and Vergil do end up fighting each other in the end, though Lady and Dante end up sort of on the same side.}}
* The battle with Savyna in ''[[Baten Kaitos]]: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean''. Once you win, you realize that it was a misunderstanding, and she [[Defeat Means Friendship|joins the party]].
