A Fight Scene trope applied to two characters that can fly without using some sort of vehicle. Air Jousting involves two combatants flying at each other at high speed and smashing together, much like Medieval knights on horses and can also be applied to characters riding flying mounts, such as dragons. If the combatants have weapons that resemble actual lances it becomes even more like jousting. If both are covered with a Sphere of Power then they'll bounce off each other like very destructive glowing ping-pong balls. This is very common in Shōnen series, and is a logical application of Flying Brick powers, and likely to overlap with Beam Spam and Beam-O-War. If used to end the fight then it overlaps with Single-Stroke Battle. If combined with Gun Fu it's likely an especially bizarre example of Short-Range Long-Range Weapon. Contrary to popular belief, head-on attacks were almost never a part of real-life Old School Dogfights (though there were exceptions, such as US airmen flying P-40 Warhawks against the Japanese), as it was an extremely risky maneuver that left both combatants exposed to fire and provided only a brief opportunity to line up a shot, and to boot ran the risk of a fatal Midair Collision (a very real concern with subsonic WWI/WWII fighters). An "energy" attack might be a straight line, but involves attacking from the side or behind with a speed and/or altitude advantage, rather than jousting head-on. However, this behavior makes much less sense for characters with magical flying powers that allow them to turn completely around, flying backwards or sideways (even briefly) while maintaining their current direction and velocity. Sister Trope to Motorcycle Jousting. See Also High-Altitude Battle and Free-Fall Fight. |

DEATH BATTLE!: Ryu Hayabusa vs. Strider Hiryu has an airborne Single-Stroke Battle serve as the climax, in the style of the one from the opening cutscene of the original Ninja Gaiden. Strider gets the better of Ryu, and immediately finishes him off with a Ragnarok. Leonardo vs. Red Ranger Jason ends with a similar Single-Stroke Battle, with a twist. Jason, who started said Single Stroke Battle on the ground, Flash Jumps above the airborne Leonardo, survives a handful of shuriken that Leonardo throws at him, and wins the airborne Blade Lock by slicing through Leonardo's katana before slicing him in two at chest-level when they hit the ground. |

This trope is at the root of the AI's tactics in the X-Universe, which consist of flying straight at the target while firing, banking away to avoid collisions (and failing frequently), then turning around and doing it all over again. When fighters do it, you wind up with an Old-School Dogfight. With capital ships, you get Standard Starship Scuffles. | |

Aerial battles in the Lyrical Nanoha were often more interesting than this, given that the characters could, in fact, turn around or fly backwards. It only got very lazy and commonplace for the third season, to skimp out on better choreography. | |

Naruto: The most memorable example involves Sasuke and Naruto flying at each other with their respective signature techniques. Many knife fights happen mid-fall or mid-super-leap. The collision can send the opponents flying apart, but often they will somehow manage to overcome the Law of Equal and Opposite Reactions and keep clashing blades. |

A Discussed Trope in the X-Wing Series. Since there isn't very much cover in space, barring a ground-based engagement or a sudden deployment by carrier, every battle between starfighters involves a "head-to-head" phase. The accepted wisdom is that head-to-heads favor New Republic starfighters (which have Deflector Shields and typically carry missiles), whereas the greater maneuverability of the light Imperial fighters have an advantage in the "furball" that follows. | |

Mazinger Z: Dr. Hell started sending flying Mechanical Beasts after Kouji and Mazinger-Z as soon as the episode 19. Mazinger got a Mid-Season Upgrade to grant him flight capabilities in episode 34, and in that same episode Kouji got his first aerial battle (Against Genocyder F9). Throughout the whole series he had many climatic aerial duels against flying enemies like Kirma K5 (who used hit-and-fly-off tactics) or Jeiser J1 (that could easily blast Mazinger away, was impervious to his weapons and forget Kouji to chase it across the sky in spite of Mazinger was nearly out of power and the cockpit was smoking). | |

Most combat involving small craft in the Escape Velocity series becomes Space Jousting. Especially the Thunderhead and its primary weapon, the Thunderhead Lance. If you want big craft doing space jousting, then it's Thunderforge time. Nearly Polaris spacecraft and all Vell-os craft come with a beam weapon (the Bio-Relay laser or the much more powerful but energy-draining Capacitor Pulse laser) too. However, Vell-os ships are inertia-less, which makes jousting effectively impossible as they can neither strafe nor coast. |

When Valyn calls the bird he captured from Sami Yurl, ostensibly to escape Assare, the Flea's flyer, Chi Hoai Mi immediately attacks from above with her bird. At this point, Valyn calls Suant'ra, his own kettral, who then attacks her from above in the same way, and throws her into the valley, although later it is revealed that both she and her bird survived. | |

Invincible: Many of the aerial battles between Viltrumites end up like this, thanks to them being a race of Flying Bricks. One of the most noteworthy moments of this is the fight between Thragg and Battle Beast, who fight a bloody, gruesome battle for days. | |

Heavily abused in most Gundam shows, which often have two characters wielding beam sabers fly at each other and attack, always being blocked. So they try a few more times possibly before maybe thinking to do something else. Invoked in Gundam 00's second episode in the second season. When the newly activated 00 frags one of the enemy Aheads with a single shot, the other throws a gas grenade that disperses energy beams, expecting the Gundam to come into melee range where the Ahead can kill it with it's lance. The 00 pulls out it's GN Blade, barrels right through the cloud and with a single strike, cuts the Ahead's lance and the mecha's torso in two. |

This trope forms the very core of the combat within Full Metal Daemon Muramasa. The clashes between the armor wearing musha all take place in the sky with the combatants crashing into one another to try and deliver a killing blow. Unlike most examples however the story goes into deep detail about why this is a thing as well as the intricacies of the fighting itself, the importance of various weapons and stance, high ground advantage and even the historical aspects to how history and warfare have been shaped by this style of combat. | |

Seems to be the main form of robot-vs-robot combat in Gigantor, the eponymous character being remarkably good at it. Many episodes would culminate in Gigantor and his foe of the week (in one case, an Evil Twin made from stolen blueprints) hurling themselves at one another in the air and bouncing off with varying amounts of damage (to the bad guy, anyway; Gigantor never seemed to get so much as a scratch) but immediately curving around to do it again. And again. And again, until the villainous robot was reduced to scrap metal. | |

UFO Robo Grendizer: The titular Humongous Mecha could combining with a space-ship, and the enemy army mainly used mini-ufos and Robeasts that often were capable to transform into large flying saucers, and all of them were carried in huge starships. Hence, nearly every episode had a major or minor dog fight. One of the most awesome moments in the series happened when Duke played a game of chicken with Blackie's mothership (and won, blasting the ship with all Grendizer's beam weapons at once and then ramming through it). | |

Some battles in the Pokémon movies are like this, especially Mew versus Mewtwo and in The Rise Of Darkrai, in which the effects of Dialga and Palkia repeatedly ramming each other in battle is a plot point. Some battles in the show also qualify. One opening theme features Ash's Swellow doing this against a Skarmory. |

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War uses this in the Final Battle to tie into its heavy use of Arthurian motifs. The "arrowhead attacks" (mentioned in the Real Life section) are the method you use to beat the final boss of the game. After dodging lasers and burst missiles in the first two stages of the fight, you need to take down the enemy "superfighter" ADFX-02 Morgan by shooting missiles (or your own lasers) into the Morgan's air-intakes, which are only accessible through a head-on battle as its electromagnetic jammer will make missiles fired at the rear of the plane or at angle veer off target. When you consider the Arthurian influences in this game, it seems more like a traditional joust rather than arrowhead attacks. (While an arrowhead attack can be done in the Ace Combat games, this final boss is the only point where this has to be done.) The ADFX-02 Morgan also has a thin laser beam as a weapon, which could be seen as a modern aircraft's version of a lance. | |

The Eldar of Warhammer 40,000 have jetbike-mounted troops armed with energy lances. One of the Craftworlds, Saim-Hann, goes so far as to have an army consisting mostly of bike troops who settle their disputes with jetbike duels.note They're supposed to be to first blood as with all Eldar duels, but those on Saim-Hann are just too stubborn to admit defeat and often get themselves killed by trying to re-do the duel multiple times. | |

The Dragon Jousters series by Mercedes Lackey has a form of this. It's mostly a bunch of dragons flying around each other and their riders occasionally whacking each other with hardened papyrus lances. The point of the entire thing was to knock your opponent out of the air so that he'd fall to a nasty death below. And then go after the enemy's ground forces. | |

Played for laughs in Big Trouble in Little China as the two sword fighting characters do it several times in the same fight, and even funnier when they both fly alongside each other and fight the entire time, with Rain giving Wang a look of surprise when they land at the fact he was able to keep up. Rain pushes his luck with this too much, however, and is done in when Wang just throws his sword through his guts while Rain is jumping through the air and unable to dodge. | |

This is the basis of the 80s arcade video game Joust by Williams (which was also released on the Atari 2600), factoring in altitude as the key to victory. Two years later, Nintendo would release Balloon Fight, the company's take on Joust, first as a VS System arcade game, then as an early NES title. Also served as the basis for an unauthorized remake on the Mac, titled Glypha. The Cataclysm expansion to World of Warcraft added a Shout-Out mini-game in the Firelands. |

In The Smurfs (1981) episode "St. Smurf And The Dragon", a few Smurfs take to the air riding on Feathers the crane and armed with a lance to pierce Gargamel's hot-air balloon as the evil wizard uses a baby dragon's fire breath to attack the Smurfs. | |

Happens a fair few times in Transformers: Cybertron, often because running at each other isn't cool enough for the most powerful attacks, so they also lift their user a small distance into the air. But the clearly-in-midair variant happens a fair few times too. | |

Later entries in the Kingdom Hearts franchise will introduce airborne boss fights that will introduce a story reason as to why you can fly, and you engage in combat with them. Sora and co. seem to learn this skill naturally in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III, by utilizing their keyblades to propel themselves in midair. This is most prominent for the final bosses of both games and a DLC boss in KH3, Xemnas, Xehanort, and Armored Xehanort respectively. Best exemplified by Sora's moveset in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where Sonic Blade (a jousting move that could only be performed on the ground in the first few games) can now be used in mid-air and even chained into after Aerial Sweep (Sora's Up-B). |

Great Mazinger: The titular Super Robot was able to fly, and one of the hosts of the enemy army was comprised of bird-alike Animal Mecha specialised in this kind of battles. Aerial duels were constant, the first happening in the first episode and the last of them in the last episode. | |
