  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic Trope: A completely one-sided battle.

  • Straight: An unprepared Bob encounters Drake, and promptly gets owned.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Justified: Bob is too weak or too unprepared for the fight with Drake.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted: Bob pulls out a Heroic Second Wind.
  • Double Subverted: ...but that was just a Hope Spot.
  • Parodied: The battle is literally Drake just curb stomping Bob in a corner.
  • Deconstructed:
    • Drake is so powerful and bored, acknowledging this fact, he tries his very best to even the odds for Bob. But that wasn't enough.
    • Alternatively, he is so confident with his own abilities that he doesn't even try.
  • Reconstructed: Drake loves challenges, and because he encounters so very few, he recognizes the fact that he may start underestimating his foes abilities, and promises to always go full power when encountering even the weakest challenge. Overkill or not.
    • Drake is the player character, who levels up by defeating common enemies such as Bobs.
  • Zig Zagged:
    • Pendulum War
    • Drake is a supposedly powerful enforcer of a legion of ninjas, but Bob had no trouble kicking his ass, and then he says "I haven't even begun to fight", the battle rolled on until a distraction happens that leaves his normally protected weak point open for Bob's Special Attack... but it really wasn't that much of a weak point.
  • Averted: The battle could go either way.
  • Enforced:
  • Lampshaded: "This isn't fair, can't you cut off one of your arms?"
  • Invoked: The McGuffin that Drake was going for was to greatly enhance his superior abilities, thus making every battle end like this.
  • Defied:
    • Drake intentionally plays weak to give Bob a chance.
    • Alternatively, he could be weakened by Bob so that he could be given a chance against him.
    • Bob runs for his life and gets away.
  • Discussed: Alice takes bets on the fight between Bob and Drake, and the odds for Bob are something along the line of 100000 to 1.
  • Conversed: "Why did Bob even bother to fight Drake? If I saw him on the street, I'd run like hell until he couldn't see me... then run some more."
