One way for a character to deliver a severe beatdown on an opponent is to pick said opponent up (usually by the feet) and slam him left-right-left-right overhead into the ground. It's generally an indication that either the character doing the slamming is [[Super Strength|very strong]], or [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry|very very angry]]. This can be played for even greater effect if the character doing the slamming is either very small or, in normal circumstances, shouldn't have that kind of strength at all. |
