The Runaway Guys/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* YMMV, but Chuggaa managing to evade having to use a continue even under the pressure of Jon's constant attempts of killing him is one. During the final tally, the most common death cause for Chugga is Jon himself! (And vice-versa.)

* Josh managing to jump across circling platforms and fuzzies to grab a coin that the other guys were having trouble with.

'''Josh''': *grabs the coin* Or I could just be a [[Badass]]. }}

* Beating the supposedly hardest level in the game on only two tries. They did point out that the level would have been much harder for a solo player, but still.

* Level 6-4, anyone? All of them end the level with a major power up (the propeller suit), catch the top of the flagpole AND have the fireworks. If this is not awesome, I don't know what it is.

* Josh in 8-1. [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] too.

'''Josh:''' I will totally fail you now! *proceeds to [[Rule of Three|not fail them now]]* }}

 

* A somewhat more subtle example is the fight with Chugga and Jon against Cyber Luigi. They take no damage whatsoever throughout the entire fight, and they spend much of the battle conversing with each other, not paying much attention to the actual fight.

* During the final battle against, Tabuu, Snake (Chugga) was caught by Tabuu's whip and would be killed with the damage he's taken. Luckily, Yoshi (Jon) manages to save him and defeat Tabuu at the same time. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] due to the position Snake was stuck in after Tabuu was defeated.

'''Chuggaa:''' We beat the game by glitching when this is supposed to be the realm of glitches. How fitting, [[Death by Irony|Tabuu died to a glitch]]. }}

* Jon winning against Toon Link. {{spoiler|Both are blown off the screen. Jon won because Toon Link flew off a second before him.}} Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

* On the opposite side of the spectrum is Jon's fight with ALG, where both players are very evenly matched, experienced and using very similar characters ([[Fire Emblem|Ike and Marth]]). The match finally ended when {{spoiler|Jon knocking ALG into the air and watching as an exploding block spawned on him, sending ALG off the map}}.

* Chugga's victory against Josh:

** For that matter, his victory over Lucahjin. He wins without losing a stock, but how much does she do to him? A mere 27% damage. [[Curb Stomp Battle]] indeed.

* In the second round, between SyKho and SuperJeenius, they are fighting on Norfair. At one point, the giant lava wall (which covers the ''entire screen'' and deals massive damage to anyone hit by it, with the only way to avoid it being by either staying offscreen long enough or hiding in a safety capsule) appears, and SyKho hides in the capsule while Jeenius just stands around casually. He then jumps up at the last second, dodging the lava.

'''SuperJeenius''': (completely nonchalant) Problem?<br />

'''SyKho''': [[Mind Screw|Gah-what?]]<br />

** Strikes again in Mystery Land. {{spoiler|He got between the warp points, thus missing the star... only to land on the star block space. [[But Wait! There's More!|THEN LATER]], he refused the UFO ride to the star, since he thought Chugga would get to it first, only to land on a teleport space, which took him to [[Serial Escalation|ANOTHER star space,]] and to boot, [Luigi landed on THE SAME SPOT before but DIDN'T GET THE STAR! [[But Wait! There's More!|THEN LATER]], he gets two more warp points and a low roll [[Born Lucky|AND GETS A]] [[Rule of Three|THIRD!]] [[Punctuated for Emphasis|HIDDEN! STAR!]]. The chances of this happening on a single board is just phenomenally low! Granted, two of them got stolen and he didn't need them to win anyways, since he got all three bonus stars which gave him the victory, but it was still ridiculous.}}

*** And you know what? On the last turn, he needed to roll a 9 to at ''least'' get one final star, which would be the first -- and ''only'' -- star he gets from Toad. {{spoiler|He got the 9.}}

* Everyone's racing to get a star, and Jon is down to the only roll that has a chance to get him there. Jon rolls a 1 and plays an item game, in which he wins the only negative item in the game, the Bowser Bomb. That's not the awesome part. He states that he ''meant'' to do this, so that when Chugga and Tim immediately go past the star, Baby Bowser, and thus Bowser's starting space, moves directly behind them. Effectively, Jon missed the star, but in the meantime he was able to screw Chugga and NCS out of EVERY one of their coins.

** That's not even the best part: later that turn -- knowing full well what Jon has planned -- NCS chooses to use his dueling glove to {{spoiler|challenge and beat Chugga}} in the dueling game, and then we're treated to this:

'''NCS:''' [[Badass Boast|That's not a problem. Watch this!]] {{spoiler|''(Rolls a 9, making it to the star with room to spare)''}} }}

* The guys are on the bad side of a 1-vs-3 game against Wario at Horror Land. Tim wins it for them.

* Near the end of Bowser Land, Jon has to choose whether to steal a star from Tim, who has 2 stars, or Chugga, who has 1 star. He decides to steal a star from {{spoiler|Chugga}}. Now this wasn't out of spite or rivalry, he specificly planned this since {{spoiler|Tim}} had no chance at the bonus stars. Not only this but at the end of the game both {{spoiler|Jon and Chugga}} got tied for one of the bonus stars, meaning that Jon only won because he stole a star from {{spoiler|Chugga}} which he specifically planned for. Talk about strategic.

* Jon's massive streak in the Minigame Coaster, which spans multiple episodes. Chugga and Tim have barely even gotten to play because of him.

'''Jon:''' [[Shout-Out|So can I put this on my]] [[This Very Wiki|TVTropes page?]] }}

* After Jon and Chuggaa fail on Hot Rope Jump, Tim wins it on his first try. Keep in mind that to clear it, you have to jump over the flames ''fifty times,'' and none of the guys had survived past forty.

* Jon beating both Chuggaa and Tim at the same time during a fight with a single attack.

** Jon winning that game with two stock left counted on its own, especially since he was [[Handicapped Badass|playing with a controller he wasn't at all used to and had to adapt quickly.]] There's a reason he's [[The Ace]].

* The fact that [[Nintendo Capri Sun]] managed to hold his own against Jon during their one on one match. [[Foregone Conclusion|He still lost]], but it didn't happen ''nearly'' as fast as one would come to expect of Tim during Runaway Guys.

* Chuggaa beating Tim 4-0 with Ness on Saffron. For those of you not in the know, Ness on Saffron is the worst possible character/stage combination.
