Worf Had the Flu: Difference between revisions

 

 

* This happens at the start of some ''[[Metroid]]'' sequels. Samus loses all of her equipment or has something happen, to justify the player having to collect what Samus had at the start of the game. Also, in ''[[Metroid Zero Mission]]'' there is a sequence at the end which embodies this trope. {{spoiler|Samus only has her emergency stun pistol and no equipment.}}

* In ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' there is a sequence where your party has all of their money and equipment taken from them. Unless you have {{spoiler|Ayla}} in your party, this sequence becomes a stealth mission.

* In ''[[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]]'' the effect that causes the two universes to merge also evens out the power levels of the characters. Or else Liu Kang fighting Superman hand-to-hand would just be silly.

* Archer is possibly the most powerful character in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', but he is handicapped somehow in almost every fight he takes part in.

** '''''Unlimited Blade Works'' route:''' Archer spends most of his time trying to [[The Chessmaster|manipulate events]] rather than fighting (on the two occasions he ''does'' fight, his enemy runs away after one attack). After this, he is cut off from his source of mana and his power fades until he's only keeping his body together through sheer willpower.

** '''''Heaven's Feel'' route:''' Archer is wounded by Saber as in the Fate route, then is forced to fight in poor conditions and exposed to attacks which ignore his usual defences.

* In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', this is the only reason why Cerberus agent Kai Leng is able to defeat {{spoiler|Thane Krios, one of the best assassins in the galaxy, in hand-to-hand combat (Thane's specialty)}}. He puts up an impressive fight, but {{spoiler|being at the end of one's life due to terminal illness}} tends to leave someone not quite at their best.

** {{spoiler|Thane}}, however, get's the last laugh, as Kai's main mission was to assasinate someone else, which had failed because, as {{spoiler|Thane puts it, "he let a terminally ill drell stop him from completing his mark"}}
