Sword Plant: Difference between revisions

== Video Games ==

 

** Link's swordplanting move was actually introduced in the ''NES Zelda 2: Adventures Of Link''. Hilariously, it allowed link to "[[Goomba Stomp|bounce]]" on enemies, quasi-''[[Mario]]''-style.

*** Toon Link's down aerial in ''Brawl'' mimics this.

** Also used in ''[[The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[Twilight Princess]]'', the first to {{spoiler|kill Ganon}} and the second to {{spoiler|gain entrance to the Temple of Time}} , as well as {{spoiler|killing Ganondorf}}.

** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' has Link doing this to enter the Silent Realms.

** Ike's "Eruption" special attack in the game also involves stabbing the ground and making ''[[Incendiary Exponent|fire]]'' shoot out.

** Ike's taunt seems to be a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Guilty Gear|Guilty Gear's]]'' Sol Badguy. Nearly the exact same pose as a common one that Sol does pretty frequently.

* Jin Kisaragi of ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' has a [[Magic Knight]] variation as his [[Finishing Move|Astral Heat]] "Arctic Dungeon": he stabs the ground with his [[An Ice Person|magical ice]] [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]], causing ice crystals to erupt across the ground. If his opponent is touching the ground when this happens, they are frozen and, when the ice shatters, instant-killed.

* The [[Final Boss]] of ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein]]'' uses this to compensate for his lack of ranged attacks: he jams his sword into the ground, causing the rain of rocks from the construction above and sending Blazkovitz flying towards him, into his reach.
