Cross Counter	comment	This happens when two fist fighters counter a hook punch by throwing another punch along an opponent's arm, aimed to the face. The result is the two fighters simultaneously punching each other in the face. This is a sometimes comedic way of showing both fighters to be equals in skill and power and sometimes to show that they both have more in common than either of them would like to admit. Other times it's a sign that both combatants are too exhausted to fight properly. After a Dramatic Pause, to let sink in what just happened, it will typically end with one fighter collapsing to the other's greater Heroic Spirit, or both of them collapsing resulting in a Double Knockout. See also Punch Parry (if the fists meet in the middle instead), Fearful Symmetry and Single-Stroke Battle. Pull Yourself Down the Spear is the rough bladed equivalent.

Viral throws a punch, and Kamina throws a punch along the same line. When both ganmen's fists hit each other's faces, Dayakka yells out (in Gratuitous English), "CUROSSU COUNTAH!" and the shot takes on the same yellow hue with dark shadows as the punch from Tomorrow's Joe. Another Cross Counter happens much later in the series, being the first attack that starts the Final Battle between the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the Grand Zamboa.

He does deal equal or close to equal damage to what hit him, though. Sadly, it can't actually result in a double KO ever, since if he's KO'd during the move, he'll hit the Counter... and immediately collapse in defeat, with the move doing no actual damage to his opponent.

Cross Counter / int_9bb5aad4	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! GX used the "arms too short" subversion when the Master of Oz monster battled an Ancient Gear Golem. At first the Golem was weaker than the Master of Oz, and it was a normal punch... and then another card doubled the Golem's power, and it delivered this, whereupon the Master of Oz's arm turned out to be too short. In a pre-GX example, Yu-Gi-Oh! turned out a card CALLED 'Cross Counter', which depicts Des Kangaroo's entire body (muzzle-flattening punch included) bypassing 'Behemoth the King of All Animals''s massive paw-slam. Des Kangaroo's special ability could also be an example of this. While never seen in the anime, its effect is that if it's attacked by a monster with Attack that is lower than Des Kangaroo's defense, the attacking card is destroyed. This specific move is known as the "Destruction Punch", and there are other cards that grant its effect. There's also the card "Gachi Battle!" which depicts two cards doing this. Also, in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, one episode has Yusei and Jack getting into a fist fight that ends with one of these. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL in episode 80 happens twice, between Alito X Girag and Alito x Yuma.

Cross Counter / int_a0112f3d	comment	Bruce Irvin from Tekken can do a cross counter (called the Nightmare Punch) when the player times it with an opponent's punch. Also subverted in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion's arcade intro — both Jin and Kazuya evade each others' fists. Once again subverted in Tekken 7's arcade intro — Kazuya evades Heihachi's fist, but Kazuya connects with Heihachi and sends him flying into a rock. The current Bandai Namco logo used for the series shows Kazuya and Jin in an Impending Clash Shot. Finishing a match with a tag move with Jin and Kazuya in Tag 2 will have them replicate the scene in-game (including cutting away right before they connect). Someone made a nice long video of Bruce countering people all day. It looks like he can't double KO unless you do the punch too late, and if performed successfully, he never actually gets hit by the opponent's attack. Alisa can perform a variation of this in her punch counter. Her opponent punches her head, and she punches their gut. However, her head falls off harmlessly and she just puts herself together afterwards by generating a new head. Heihachi also has a kick variation of this called the Heaven's Wrath, performed against any attack the opponent lands on you, if you're hit during the active frame of the move. The difference with his version from normal Cross Counters is that while the attacks from both parties are generally simultaneous or near-simultaneous with them, Heihachi just takes the hit, and while the opponent just stands there dumbfounded with their leg in the air firmly against the side of his head, he just kicks them away with his right foot. Yet another version of this could be Heihachi's Headbutt Carnival throw, which is functionally identical to his other, similliar throw in appearance, but characters who possess headbutt attacks of their own can avoid getting knocked down by it and counter-headbutt Heihachi right back...who can then counter-counter their headbutt and repeat the sequence until either character screws up the input or runs out of life first. Paul Phoenix and Forrest Law perform a cross counter in their ending in Tekken Tag Tournament... but instead of a punch, they both kick... and instead of their faces, well, their reactions say it all. In Tekken 7, if two fighters are down to their last portion of health and attack simultaneously, the camera will zoom in and see which fighter will deliver the final blow.

The Silver Conference fight's instance is this.◊ An earlier instance involved a staged battle between a Hitmonchan and a Machoke, actors on the travelling Pokémon Showboat, that culminated in one of these.◊ This trope is played quite straight during the Masters Eight Tournament, in Ash's battle against Cynthia, particularly between Ash's Lucario and Cynthia's Garchomp. Towards the end of the battle, both of them are at their limit, and after rapidly exchanging blows between flurries of Bullet Punch and Dragon Claw, they both go in for a final blow with this trope using Dragon Claw and Reversal as their final blows at the same time to end the battle. Both fall down exhausted afterwards, but Lucario manages to get up, while Garchomp stays down and is declared unable to battle, losing Cynthia the match.

Cross Counter / int_fa74198a	comment	Megalo Box ends the last fight between Joe and Yuri with one of these after a long match and then cuts to black. The end of the match is about halfway through the episode. The results of the match are left until the very end of the episode. Joe's match with Aragaki in episode 6 ends with the bell ringing just as they're both about to connect with a cross-counter, leaving both boxers with their fists hanging a few inches off the other's face. Aragaki throws in the towel due to his Game-Breaking Injury in the break, acknowledging Joe as a Worthy Opponent.

Cross Counter / int_fdc66d32	comment	In Kamen Rider Double's Movie, Shotaro (as Kamen Rider Joker) does this to one of the villains. However, because Shotaro's punch was a Finishing Move, he came out on top. Speaking of, Kamen Rider has a variation that pops up from time to time where, instead of hooks, two characters will throw out front thrust kicks at the same time; often this is used to get some space between the characters so one (or both) can do something dramatic. There's also a variation where a heroic and villainous Rider will perform their Rider Kicks at the same time and connect foot-to-foot, getting into a Beam-O-War-esque struggle. Sometimes the backlash will launch them both backwards (as with Wizard versus Wiseman/White Wizard), while other times there'll be a decisive winner (as with Ex-Aid versus Chronus).
