Line 155:
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]'' had a cheat which turned your standard melee punch into a Megaton Punch, allowing you to send enemies flying a hundred feet straight ahead when you punched them. For added hilarity, the cheat also affected NPCs.
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' has one in ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius|Path of Radiance]]'': when Boyd teases Mist for weighing more than Leanne, she knocks him across a pool of water and into a tree. The animation for the "Smite" ability, which, normally, is available only to the largest character in the game (disregarding shifted dragons), is used for this scene. The only other character to knock someone out with a shove is the friggin' Black Knight!
* This is Bowser's basic attack in [[
* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'' the pneumatic Power Fist can actually make an enemy to explode, just like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdOjUkaZmK0 this].
** With enough points in the unarmed skill this can easily be done with your bare hands. Or any weapon for that matter if you take the [[Ludicrous Gibs|Bloody Mess]] perk.
Line 171:
*** Also, {{spoiler|she's not summoning an avatar of herself. She's summoning Queen Sheba, the setting's equivalent to SATAN to sucker-punch Jubileus!}}
* In the boxing arcade game ''Ring King'', if one fighter performs a dashing uppercut while the other fighter is standing by the ropes on the left or right side of the ring, the fighter who gets hit will be sent flying out of the ring, landing somewhere off-screen, thereby resulting in an instant K.O. win for the boxer who did the uppercut.
* ''[[
* While she does it with a throw rather then a punch, Marina Liteyears, a [[Robot Girl]] with a powerful throw (to the point grabbing and throwing is her entire attack style) of [[Mischief Makers]] does this to her creator Prof. Theo each time she finsihes rescueing him due to him trying to grope her. Another villain then grabs him and [[Here We Go Again|she has to do it all over again]].
* "[[Freedom Force]]" has this with either in-game standard characters or your custom characters, it's all up to how you design the attacks. Especially hilarious due to semi-realistic physics engine, which means that lightweight opponents get sent flying higher/further from higher knockback. If you're good at balancing perks and flaws, you can have a custom character who can wield trees and buses as early as the first couple of stages, knocking female enemies across town! Also, the physics engine applies impact damage when they land/collide with stuff. My favourite part of a really fun game.
Line 187:
* Rare first person shooter example: ''Dark Forces'', the first entry in the [[Dark Forces Saga]], leaves Kyle Katarn with only his fists as his [[Emergency Weapon]] (this being before they established Kyle as an active Force-sensitive Jedi). Typically, punching a (humanoid) opponent puts them into a moment of stunlock and bounces them a bit. However, if Kyle crouches, looks up slightly, and punches, he can send most Imperial cronies flying across the room with greater [[Knockback]] than all but his most powerful explosive weapons. This can get entertaining in some levels, allowing Kyle to punch stormtroopers off cliffs and the like.
* ''[[Saints Row 2]]'' gives us the highly entertaining [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPMdpu3VE2Q Pimp Slap weapon]. The game's loose association with reality only makes it all the more amusing to watch.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'', due to a [[Good Bad Bugs|bug in the physics engine]], giants are able to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeWYN2xiyRo smack humans into low orbit.]
* In ''[[Solatorobo]]'', Red winds up on the receiving end of one of these from Elh after the second [[Shower of Awkward]] (the first got him an [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]).
* ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' introduces class-unique heavy melee attacks to the series. While most classes use omni-blades and the Adept focuses on [[Punched Across the Room]], the Vanguard class gets a straight-up powerful biotic punch which executes faster than other heavy melees, synergizing well with their Charge ability.
