Beat Them at Their Own Game	comment	Our hero is really in a pickle this time. The latest villain uses a unique weapon, technique or tactic which beats anything else the hero can do. So how does the hero get out of this? By using the same tactic himself! Some authors, especially video game designers, like to have their hero use a villain's own methods against him. This could be due to the reason stated above: because the only option the hero has to counter said tactic is the tactic itself. Other times, it might be an honor thing. Or things could have just turned out that way. Whatever the reason, equally matched fights are cool. Perhaps this is so popular in video games because it allows for variety in gameplay. In fact, many a Fisticuffs Boss fight is against a similarly unarmed opponent. When the enemy's fighting style is radically different from the hero's typical style, this can be an Unexpected Gameplay Change. Villains can use this tactic, too. It's sometimes cited as a reason for creating an Evil Knockoff of the hero. Playing Tennis with the Boss and Throw the Mook at Them are specific sub-tropes, with the former involving deflecting the enemy's own energy back at them. Whereas the latter turns the villain's own flunkies into ammo. Compare Faustian Rebellion, where the villains really should be in charge of the game, yet are at risk. Also compare Hoist by His Own Petard, which is where villains are defeated by their own weapon or plot, but not necessarily by a hero. See also A Taste of Their Own Medicine, which is a type of Revenge; and Ditto Fighter, as some variants take the form and fighting style of their opponents, thus invoking this trope each time they fight.

Subverted in that it's only when the Predator willing handicaps itself and only relies on its superior strength and wrist-blades that Dutch actually stands a chance. The best Dutch could do beforehand was prolong the fight with his stealth tactics and traps.

What did Edge, "The Ultimate Opportunist", do when he had to beat him for the World Heavyweight Championship? Kidnapped Kane's dad and spend the next few weeks torturing Kane in all sorts of sadistic mind games and torturing his daddy. Kane tries to call him out on it, only for Edge to remind him of how he's only doing the exact same thing Kane always does. It seemed Edge one upped Kane as he won the title at TLC 2010.

After Aku grows tired of sending wave after wave of bounty hunters against Jack, he decides to solve the issue by creating an Evil Twin of Jack from his hatred and anger. True enough, Jack could not defeat it in combat; instead, he defeated the clone by meditating and reaching inner peace. In "Samurai vs. Ninja", Jack becomes a ninja to fight a ninja.

His two Numbers (Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage and the even stronger Number 69: Heraldry God - Coat of Arms) could both steal the effects and even the names of opposing monsters, using them themselves and leaving the opposing monsters powerless.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_1b386512	comment	Frequently used in Ranma Â½, but notably subverted and then averted when Ryoga learns the Shi Shi Hokodan technique. After being devastated by the technique, Ranma attempts to master it, but this proves impossible, as the Shi Shi Hokodan is powered by depression, and Ranma (despite all circumstances) is a pretty happy fellow compared to Ryoga, and certainly can't hope to match his misfortunes. Instead, he resorts to mastering a variant powered by his confidence. This works for a time, but Ryouga — helped along by the depression of having his technique thwarted — then uses the Perfect Shi Shi Hokodan. It's fueled by a level of absolute depression for which Ranma can't muster an equal amount of confidence, especially once Ranma starts losing. In the end, Ranma achieves victory by finding a way to turn Ryouga's own attack against him.

Aware of the teacher's habit of lying, which includes mentioning that he used to be a CIA agent, LÃ©o decides to lie as well by saying that Carl is not a student, but an agent working for the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) who has investigated on a case involving kidnapping in Hollywood. Laplante completely falls for it. In the first episode of Season 3, Maria decides to manipulate Camille and Dominique into hating each other by telling lies regarding the latter dating LÃ©o after the former broke up with him. Once Camille and Dominique realize they've been manipulated, they decide to tell a lie about Maria to the latter's moral teacher, who then forces her to do some homework that Carl was supposed to do.

When Homer and Bart work at a Crappy Carnival, one of their jobs is temporarily covering for a father and son who run an impossible ring-toss. Chief Wiggum threatens to close down the game since it's rigged and does so when Homer remains oblivious to Wiggum's attempts to be bribed. Homer lets the two stay at their home, and the father and son end up locking the Simpsons out of their house when the family are away. Homer bets the house on being able to throw a hula-hoop around their chimney, and the carny agrees. When Homer seems about to throw the thing, the family run back into the house and lock the door, so they really beat them at their own game: cheating.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_30a5ebfd	comment	The Naruto character Kakashi Hatake is known as the "Copy-Ninja" for his ability to flawlessly copy an enemy's moves, using his Sharingan eye, even as they are performing them. In one instance, the ninja he was copying was so surprised by Kakashi's perfect move for move copy that he stopped cold in the middle of his technique. Kakashi continued anyway and completed it despite having never seen it. This actually involved a bit of trickery: Kakashi hypnotized the other ninja to complete the moveset and then forget he had done so, allowing Kakashi to learn it. But he still used the technique without ever having seen it fully performed.

In the story, Marche often gets attacked by various groups of people, including bounty hunters, that his brother Doned tells about him when he goes out on missions. Marche, wanting to lure Doned out to talk with him, takes an especially promising job. He's able to defeat his foes and reconcile with his brother.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_36395288	comment	Kirby: Meta Knight, the recurring sword-wielding Worthy Opponent, usually leaves a sword in the boss arena for you to take and use against him. Originally, in Kirby's Adventure, he refused to start the fight until you took it, but in Kirby Super Star, he will fight you if you wait several seconds without taking it, which isn't advisable outside of the Arena due to the time limit you're given, plus the extremely low amount of ammo he creates makes defeating him without an ability extremely difficult (Though future games and remakes remedy this by making him generate stars after most attacks). King Dedede does the same with the Hammer power in the 'Revenge of the King' section of Kirby Super Star Ultra. Miracle Matter, from Kirby 64, uses attacks based on the 7 abilities Kirby can copy. It can only be harmed by whatever ability it is copying at the moment (or by inhaling the power-granting things it drops and spitting them out at it); its immobile default form is completely invulnerable. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Whispy Woods gains the ability to perform an inhale of his own after taking yet another level in badass, which he tries to eat Kirby with. Then, in the final battle, Magolor's second form and Soul form imitates the various Super Abilities used by Kirby as attacks after he Turns Red. In Deluxe's True Arena fight with Magolor Soul, he even throws in the new Sand and Mecha abilities in the mix. Kirby: Triple Deluxe: In The True Arena, Queen Sectonia absorbs the power of four Miracle Fruits (the game's new power-up that gives Kirby the Hypernova ability) to come back stronger than ever as Soul of Sectonia. Star Dream also does this during its boss fight in Kirby: Planet Robobot; after being defeated by the Halberd Mode the first time, it screws itself into the Access Ark to continue the battle, just like how Kirby's Robobot Armor is able to use giant screws to screw things in. During the fight with Hyness from Kirby Star Allies, he will use the Friend Circle with the lifeless bodies of the Three Mage Sisters (three logs dressed as the mage sisters as Corrupt Hyness) after he Turns Red. Similarly, Void Termina takes use of the new elemental ability mechanic with his elemental Ultra Swords in the first phase. Kirby and the Forgotten Land: After Fecto Forgo breaks out of the Eternal Capsule in Lab Discovera, their first attempt to chase after Kirby and Elfilin is to take a more sinister twist on the game's new Mouthful Mode mechanic by assimilating several Beast Pack soldiers into itself, creating a massive chimera monster.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_3ba81aa2	comment	Toriko: In the Gourmet Casino Arc, the heroes are forced to play a high stakes memory game against casino owner Livebearer. In said game, they must pick two matching cards with the ingredients on them and then cook and eat said ingredient in a limited amount of time. Of course, not all ingredients are safe — some of them are poisonous, addictive or even explosive, and you have to eat what you pick, or you lose. Both sides are cheating, but the heroes can only see faint outline of what on the cards while Livebearer knows exactly which ingredient on which card and made sure that each of the ingredients in the game is something that he can cook and eat without harming himself. The heroes seemingly fall into an unwinnable situation, until Coco reveals that he manipulated Livebearer's entire game, making him pick ingredients that will decrease his resistance to poison, contained in the last remaining ingredient, putting the villain in a situation where he can either refuse to eat the last ingredient and thus lose the game, or eat it and die from poisoning. Naturally, Livebearer doesn't take it's very well and tries to kill them, only to be easily defeated offscreen. Midora in his first fight with Joie gets defeated due to Joie's unnatural luck. However, Midora was able to copy said luck in the process. In their second fight, Midora actively uses it to counter his luck, which allows him to take all of Joie's attacks without getting as much as a couple of scratches and then easily defeat him. A Villainous example comes from the battle between Toriko and Starjun. In this battle, Toriko uses his new technique, which allows him to increase his power and use new moves just by believing that he can do it. At first, Starjun seems to be hopelessly outclassed, but after a few attacks he manages to learn said technique and starts using in himself, which allows him to fight with Toriko on equal terms and defeat him.

Of course, some of this is backstage booking/logistical reasons. The Undertaker is heavily protected and Casket and Buried Alive matches prevent him from doing a clean job, and Kane usually wears a full-body jumpsuit, so it's safer for him to get burnt in an Inferno match.

Herald Volazj in Anh'Kahet is one such boss, who splits the party and forces each player to fight clones of the others. A similar effect is used by Valkyr Heralds in Icecrown Citadel, who spawn copies of randomly chosen raid members that everyone must fight. Perhaps the most literal use of this, however, is in the Trial of the Crusader, whose third boss fight consists of a group of PvP opponents that behave as much like opposing players as it's possible for the game's AI to simulate. For example, crowd control abilities, normally useless on bosses, suddenly become mandatory.

When humanity learned how to use shouts (which the dragonborn can do as easily as a dragon) from the dragon Paarthurnax they developed a shout called "dragonrend", which was basically made of the draconic words for "mortal", "finite" and "temporary". As they were basically a race of Time Abyss near-gods, the mere concept of relative time (particularly something ending) screwed with them so much it could be weaponised against them.

Inverted when Cyborg Ninja willingly drops his sword in order to fight you hand-to-hand, should you remove your own weapons during the fight with him. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty's final fight makes you battle Solidus with swords only. Here any use of guns is not possible. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has a sequence in which you get to pilot Metal Gear REX in a battle with Liquid Ocelot in his Metal Gear RAY. RAYs were created specifically to take down REX's knockoffs. It's awesome. Inverted in the fight with Laughing Octopus in MGS4, where she will occasionally hide in a cardboard box. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has Powered Armor that has weaker versions of the same superpowers of the Quirky Miniboss Squad (which equates to 75% of the bosses of the entire game). It's impractical and you have to fulton a few minibosses to get Parasite Charges for the suit, but you can beat your opponents by using these powers more effectively than they can. This is entirely optional for the most part, as there are several ways to beat each boss or situation. When you fight Sniper Wolf again you can take cover behind an embankment and spam Nikita missiles at her. With Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's The End, you can fight fire with fire by sniping him, or you can sneak around and make the fight up close and personal — or just run out the clock (although this takes several days without cheating). You can even kill him and prevent his boss fight later on; when he is being wheeled out at the docks, you can snipe him down easily.

This can get rather hilarious if, for example, the player is playing as Big Show (who measures 213 cm and weighs an even 200 kg), and borrows Jeff Hardy's signature Swanton Bomb (which involves leaping off the top turnbuckle, flipping forward 270 degrees, and landing back-first across a prone opponent). Swanton Bomb nothing. Have Show or AndrÃ© the Giant steal Rey Mysterio's finisher—swinging kick through the ropes, land on the apron, spring to the top rope, then fly off and land sitting on the victim's shoulders, then backflip into a pin. Tell me there isn't anything more frightening than seeing a 500-pound wrestler flying groin-first at your face. Or on the other side of the gamut, playing Rey Mysterio and having him do a Tombstone Piledriver on the Undertaker. WWE 2K15 added a bit to this by making a successful move steal humiliate the opponent, and reduce their stamina a bit as a result.

Not only that, but he also reveals that he knows a whole awful lot about the other gang members' personal belonging and loved ones, and declares it would be a Shame If Something Happened to them. This does the trick marvelously well: the gang members run away in terror, and Kaname is freed. Then it's revealed that the brother was never in any danger and Sosuke had bribed him to play along. This doesn't stop the scene from being tense, as Sosuke and the kid were both damn convincing.

When, inevitably, a seer commits that sin that led to the destruction of their old plane, the Black Reach sets things up perfectly to kill them; it's been thousands of years since he had to personally get his claws dirty.

No seer can ever out-seer the anti-seer precognitive dragon construct supercomputer.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario 3D World has the final boss invoke the trope against the players. Bowser uses a Super Bell to gain the same scratching and wall climbing abilities the players can use. Bowser then uses Double Cherries to create up to 4 clones of himself with all of them attacking the players at the same time. In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the final boss, Wario, does this. Hit him enough in his first phase and he uses a carrot on himself to give him the same flying bunny-ears power that Mario could use in the game; hit him enough then and he swaps the carrot for a Fire Flower and starts chucking fireballs at Mario instead. Villainous version in Luigi's Mansion. The giant Bowser robot that King Boo uses has a vacuum-like weapon of its own that it can use to swallow Luigi and do a lot of damage. Wario Land: The final boss of Wario Land: Shake It!, the Shake King, uses the same techniques as Wario for the first stage of the battle, which includes charging and ground-pounding. Wario, who is smaller and faster, can take advantage of certain things, like jumping on the Shake King while charging to disrupt him and run headfirst into a wall. There's also B Bunny, a rabbit type boss in Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 that has to be beaten at a variant of either basketball or football (soccer in the US), by using the boss as the ball. While the boss is trying to use Wario as the ball instead. (In case that was difficult to explain, see the end of this video.) In Super Paper Mario, Chapter 3-1 has a Koopa Troopa running away from Mario, hitting a ? Block, and snagging a Mega Star to grow into a giant 8-bit version of itself that proceeds to try and crush Mario. This is more of a joke rather than a dangerous mook since running to the left snags you your own Mega Star, allowing you to thwart the Koopa with your own giant 8-bit self. (Additionally, unlike Mario and friends, the Koopa can be stomped out of your way as always. You simply need to gain enough height to reach his head.) In Super Princess Peach, Bowser uses the Vibe Scepter to power himself up with Vibe powers during the final battle with Peach, using the same Psychoactive Powers Peach has been relying on throughout the game. When he uses the Rage Vibe, he Turns Red and becomes faster and stronger.

Black Waltz also has the ability to fly into the air, making him virtually impossible to hit with short-ranged physical attacks but still easy prey for Vivi's magic. And Vivi automatically begins the battle in Trance mode, allowing him to cast two spells per turn. It's obvious what you were meant to do (not that you have to, but...) Black Waltz No. 2, however, is a subversion. If you use Vivi's spells against him, he will taunt you and counter with a higher-level spell, handily discouraging you from "fighting fire with fire". And if you're wondering about Black Waltz No. 1... Vivi isn't in your party then.

Lucius Malfoy is all about using psychological manipulation and political influence to get his way, while Dumbledore counters and keeps him in check. By the end of the Roles arc, however, Harry has carved out a third faction from the less fanatical sub-factions of both sides, and has managed to land Lucius himself as an ally, enabling him to force several security reforms through the Board of Governors and render Hogwarts safer against Dumbledore's wishes.

Bowen Yang, at the start of his joint interview with Patti Harrison, asks Ziwe if the two were combined into one interview because Ziwe views Asians as lesser, prompting some genuine Stunned Silence from her. Adam Pally manages to bait Ziwe into making anti-semitic statements in "Gay Pride!" after having been very thoroughly baited himself in "Whitewashing".

Lampshaded in one fight where Sanji matches up with a swordsman while Zoro finds himself squaring off with a martial artist. Typically they fight similar opponents intentionally. Zoro for example wants to be the greatest swordsmen in the world, so fighting other swordsmen is a bit important for that goal. The Straw Hats were challenged to a Davy Back Fight, where a pirate crew challenges another crew to a series of games with crew members as the prize. The Foxy Pirates used several underhand tricks to get the advantage but the Straw Hats naturally beat them. The CP9, confident in their abilities, made a game out of rescuing Robin where they divided five keys among them (one which unlocked Robin's cuffs) and had the Straw Hats scramble to defeat them and find the right one before Robin was permanently taken away.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In PokÃ©mon, several types are weak to themselves, and in some cases, that is the only thing that is super effective. As an example, Dragon-type PokÃ©mon are weak to Ice- and Dragon-type attacks. However, later games in the series introduce two Water/Dragon-type PokÃ©mon, Palkia and Kingdra. The Water type cancels out the Ice-type weakness, and the Dragon type cancels all of Water-type's weaknesses, meaning that the only easy way to take one of these down is to beat them at their own game with a Dragon-type attack. (This only applies up until Generation VI, which introduced a new type strong against them.) The move Mirror Move allows the user to use the move just used by the opponent, and the move Transform literally allows PokÃ©mon to beat the opponent at their own game, as the Transforming PokÃ©mon gains access to the target's typing, stats, and moves. To a lesser extent, the move Role Play can change the user's ability to that of the target.

She spends a majority of the film with Robin as her main victim, seducing him, making him think she loves him and will change sides to be with him, and breaking him and Batman apart. During their final encounter in Ivy's lair though Robin tricks her into revealing her plan by pretending to still be in love with her and asking for a sign of trust from her before they kiss. He also wore rubber lips to protect himself against her poison during their kiss. He successfully manipulated Ivy into revealing her secrets and that her love was a lie by pretending to love her like she pretended to love him, and managed to steal a kiss from her, making her signature kiss useless. Downplayed slightly by Ivy shoving Robin into her pond to drown him, ultimately getting the last laugh in their "relationship" before "breaking up with him" but she is still beaten by Batgirl shortly afterwards and is trapped in the same Rose Throne she had just shoved Robin from.

However, once it takes enough damage, it will begin to combine and use two Wisp powers at once. Done in a literal way in Sonic Mania. The boss of Chemical Plant Zone Act 2 is Dr. Eggman challenging the player to a round of Mean Bean Machine (or Puyo Puyo). In the same game, the mini-boss of Hydrocity Zone Act 1 has Sonic piloting the original Act 2 boss machine, attempting to suck up Eggman in the propeller blades as Eggman did to him in Sonic 3.

When you fight Sniper Wolf again you can take cover behind an embankment and spam Nikita missiles at her. With Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's The End, you can fight fire with fire by sniping him, or you can sneak around and make the fight up close and personal — or just run out the clock (although this takes several days without cheating). You can even kill him and prevent his boss fight later on; when he is being wheeled out at the docks, you can snipe him down easily.

His boyz were massacred by the Imperial Guard's jungle fighting specialists, and Snikrot swore revenge by beating the sneaky 'umies at their own game. Most Orks aren't normally given to things like stealth and subterfuge (it'z all a load of muckin' about if yaz ask me), but in their campaign of guerilla warfare, Snikrot and his Red Skull Kommandos have plagued the jungles ever since and taken a heavy toll on the Imperial Guard. Catachan Jungle Fighters are from one of the nastiest Death Worlds in the galaxy and don't scare easy, but even they tell stories of how Snikrot can pass through a throttlevine grove without disturbing a single leaf, how he leaves his victims with no eyes and no scalps, and how he loots their dog tags and whispers the names of the men he's killed to the jungle moon.

This can be confusing if you're used to playing Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, though the DS version helps clear it up. For all but one party combination (and that one only works after a fair bit of Level Grinding to get Crono, Frog, and Lucca's Triple Tech), you won't be able to match one (or two) of the elements, depending on your party; hitting him physically with anyone but Frog makes him manually cycle the elements, solving that problem.

Marinette turns both of these traits against her when she starts giving the temporary heroes special clothing designed to be reminiscent of their heroic personas as a sort of 'parting gift' to signify their replacement. When Lila suggests that Marinette is responsible for Alya getting demoted, she turns them to her advantage, spreading rumors that she serves as a talent scout for Ladybug.

Naturally, the heroes have to cheat right back while catching the D'arbys in the midst of their own cheating. The results were... memorable.

The Big 5 thought to defeat the heroes by dueling them with the Deckmaster System, a special set of House Rules that they thought would give them an advantage. To their dismay - and horror - the heroes adjusted to this system very quickly, and in every duel the Deckmasters played a role in the villain's defeat. Even in Yugi's duel against Noah, where Yugi was using Kaiba's Deckmaster, which wasn't of any use to him, Yugi nearly defeated Noah after the villain carelessly summoned his Deckmaster. Noah only escaped defeat (that turn) because he could pretty much give Shinato any effect he wanted whenever he wanted.

Guybrush's salvation lies in finding the materials to make his own doll. They're evenly matched in power, but Guybrush is a lot more creative in the execution. Escape from Monkey Island codifies the trope with the phrase, "The easiest way to defeat a voodoo curse is with an even bigger voodoo curse", and the game takes this extremely literally. The way to stop a madman with a powerful voodoo trinket is to make a much larger copy of the same trinket. The final chapter of Tales of Monkey Island has Guybrush trapped in the Crossroads, the pirate afterlife, after being killed by LeChuck. To escape and undo his arch-enemy's plan, he has to harness the same spell LeChuck used to become a ghost pirate in the first place.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: In "Sponsored Content", Jimmy is the first person to actually win against PC Principal and his thuggish dudebro "political correctness"... by using his own Logical Fallacy manipulation tactics against him and insisting he is only getting mad because he "has a problem with disabled people" and that he is the one who is "confused". PC Principal does not take it well. In "Franchise Prequel", Professor Chaos and his minions slander the Coon and Friends on Facebook. Even when the heroes try to tell other people the truth, everyone believes what is posted on Facebook. This makes them pariahs in the town, which among other things causes them to lose out on the opportunity to make shitloads of money from Netflix. Knowing that physically stopping Chaos is illegal, they realize that Mark Zuckerberg is the key to putting an end to the problem and the Coon mentions this trope by name. They Zerg Rush him but he easily throws them aside. The Coon wails that Tupperware (Token), Fastpass (Jimmy), and the Human Kite (Kyle) were simply standing up for black, handicapped, and Jewish people, respectively, and wonders why Zuckerburg would be so cruel to them. Zuckerberg says that isn't true but the Coon points out that Super Craig has filmed the whole fight on Facebook Live and now Facebook says its true. Zuckerberg has no choice but to shut his site down.

The Cyberdemon is immune to splash damage, which means it only takes damage from the impact itself.

Humanity only stands a chance against the alien invaders by stealing and reverse-engineering all of their technology as quickly as possible, as well as capturing the aliens themselves, dead or alive, for dissection or interrogation respectively. X-COM loves this. Aliens with psionic powers are the bane of your squaddies... Until you get a psionics lab and train your gifted soldiers to use their powers back. Nothing better than watching a fully leveled psionic trooper take on an Ethereal in a mind war and win. In the new Firaxis game, there's also achievements for killing a Muton Berserker with an MEC Trooper's Power Fist, or defeating an EXALT sniper with one of your own.

Subverted in that it's only when the Predator willing handicaps itself and only relies on its superior strength and wrist-blades that Dutch actually stands a chance. The best Dutch could do beforehand was prolong the fight with his stealth tactics and traps. In Predator 2, Harrigan kills the Predator with its own disc weapon. In Prey (2022), Naru kills the Predator by stealing the targeting system for its bolt launcher and baiting it into shooting at her.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_e9c57346	comment	At some point in The Rock's career, he began to make a habit out of hitting his opponents with their own finishers. This included giving Triple H a Pedigree onto a table, giving the Undertaker a chokeslam, spearing Goldberg, putting Kurt Angle in the ankle lock and giving "Stone Cold" Steve Austin lots and LOTS of Stunners. While he usually tried to pick up a pin after this, however, they pretty much always kicked out. Also, this usually meant that eventually the other wrestler would give him the Rock Bottom. At Vengeance 2002, July 21, 2002, in the WWE World Heavyweight Title Triple Threat Match between the Undertaker (c), the Rock and Kurt Angle, Rock chokeslammed Taker, Angle gave Rock the Rock Bottom, and Taker gave Angle the Angle Slam.

The fight with Metroid Prime's exoskeleton form can only be damaged by attacking it with the weapon that corresponds to its current colour and attack pattern. What's more, Metroid Prime's true form always needs Phazon weaponry to finish it off, which it always gives you in some way or another, be it via puddles, projectiles, or injecting you with the crap. Metroid Prime: Hunters: The final boss changes the color of its obvious weak point and its own weapon to match one of the six weapons you have at your disposal. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: There are enemies that can enter Hyper Mode — the best counter being to do that yourself. This also applies to the majority of bosses.

Then puts her in plugsuit with a butt plug and dildo harness, to keep her in heat. But in chapter 12, Point Blank uses the same ploy to free Athena. Thanks to the suit she was wearing, he knew she'd be too horny to resist him. So he strips down to his underwear and challenges her in the sack. It works. Athena removes the harness without hesitation to let him bang her, and reverts to normal afterward.

Beat Them at Their Own Game / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: Kurt Zisa in the first game alternates between three distinct phases in a 1-2-3-2 pattern. In its first phase, it only uses physical attacks, after locking the magic abilities of Sora and his teammates; the target is the orbs in its hands that appear after it performs the seal. The second phase has it collapse in the sand, where its own HP bar is vulnerable. Then its third phase uses only magic based attacks, after creating a barrier around itself; the only effect physical attacks have on the barrier is to drop MP-restoring orbs. In Kingdom Hearts II, many of Sora's Reaction Commands involve him copying the enemy's signature moves. For example, he can copy the aerial dive attack of Xaldin, and against Demyx he can challenge him to a musical duel. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep: the Final Boss of Ventus' story is Vanitas, his Enemy Without-turned-Enemy Within. During the second phase of the final battle, Ven acquires and triggers a D-Link of Vanitas, which lets him use Vanitas' own attacks and shotlock against him.
