Curb-Stomp Cushion	comment	We are witnessing a Curb-Stomp Battle. Maybe the Imperial Japanese Navy has caught the American giant sleeping. Perhaps Skynet's forces are ripping the TechCom troops a structurally superfluous new behind. Whatever the case, the losing side is getting it hard. How do we show that it's not hopeless, or that the losing side isn't utterly incompetent? Give them some small victory to help counterbalance the stomping they're getting. A Curb Stomp Cushion is kind of like a Hope Spot, except that it doesn't necessarily give the impression that the good guys are gonna win, just that they're still capable of taking a few bad guys down with them, or fighting back hard enough to make sure that a powerful, nearly unbeatable foe doesn't get to walk away unscathed as a final middle finger. This can also serve to foreshadow that the until-now nigh-invincible enemies may not truly be as invincible as they seem. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })If it is the villain at the losing end, this is likely to avoid Invincible Hero shades overcoming the winning hero, or even worse, nulling out the notion they are the defending side. Possibly also combined with Not-So-Harmless Villain. See also Do Not Go Gentle and Pyrrhic Victory, the latter which the surprised curb-stompee is likely to achieve.

But, there are lots of scenes of individual human forces destroying truckloads of ELS, and not just the Gundam-piloting main characters. The ELS may be winning, but humanity is putting up one hell of a fight.

But in the first, fully acknowledged duel between the two, even though Ranma completely dominated the fight and won in a single attack that put KO'd Kuno and left him in bandages for days, Kuno did get one good slash of his bokken into Ranma's side, to the point that a gentle poke would make Ranma double over in pain.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_1cf9029e	comment	Death Battle does its best to follow this trope. Even when dealing with the most one-sided victories, the hosts are able to draw up a script that makes the big fight last a third of the episode with a good number of passes with the Advantage Ball, with several episodes having the loser give one hell of a final showing before being overcome. Scrooge McDuck vs. Shovel Knight turns out to be a pretty huge one. From analysis, it appears that Scrooge's feats vastly outclass that of Shovel Knight's. Yet come the fight, and Shovel Knight nearly dominates the entire battle until Scrooge pulls out his Anti-Inertia Ray and Neutra-Friction Ray to seal the victory for him. Likewise, Jotaro Kujo vs. Kenshiro also turns out to be a pretty big one. The analysis showed that the latter's offensive and defensive feats and fighting style gave him massive advantages over his opponent. During the fight, Kenshiro seemingly manages to gets only one glancing hit on Jotaro, while Jotaro holds the Advantage Ball throughout the fight as his Stand Star Platinum easily tanks or keeps Kenshiro at bay. That one hit was all it needed for Jojo to be already dead, thanks to hitting a pressure point that made him explode later. And yet another with Optimus Prime vs. Gundam. From the analysis, it's clear that the latter stood no chance, yet in the actual fight itself, the loser puts up one hell of a fight, even managing to get the winner on the ropes and make it look like they were going to win for a moment. An arguable inversion occurs in the battle between Starscream and Rainbow Dash, probably the most curbstompy fight in Death Battle history, with the latter utterly toying with the former for the entire duration of the fight, even more than their stats might imply. This seems to be mostly for the purpose of the inherent Rule of Funny in seeing a small pony annihilating a giant robot, but is also somewhat justified, since due to the potency of his arsenal any good hit by Starscream could have theoretically annihilated Dash, if only he weren't too incompetent to land even one. Starscream lands all of two hits in the entire fight, one with his metal hand and one with the Null Ray, which does not damage organic beings and therefore only stuns and dazes Dash for a second or two. She is at least visibly worried about his final barrage of missiles, even though she winds up using it to her advantage.

He was even bestowed the odd Dark Horse Victory against Jerry to keep the formula that little more unpredictable. One example of Tom winning is the short where Tom can get a million dollars if he never hurt another animal with predictable results. Karma bites Jerry hard in the ass where Tom admits he's giving up all that money but, hey, he's happy beating on a very deserving mouse!

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_33dd1d8f	comment	Half-Life has one in the HECU, and it applies in two ways. Them against the invading Xen aliens. In general the HECU are being overwhelmed, but as far as Gordon can see, they tend to win individual battles, suggesting that the aliens are only winning overall due to their superior numbers (an entire alien army vs a single special forces batallion). It's true that the marines are also enemies to the player (and everyone else in Black Mesa) but it's still not hard to be rooting for the humans during an alien invasion. Even when on the ropes, the HECU are still quite well-equipped and threatening, which Black Mesa showcases best. Against Gordon, they also are one. Even if Dr. Freeman slaughters them in droves along his way, the first firefight is no cakewalk and it doesn't get any easier from there, even after more powerful hardware is acquired - they pull out their own big guns in the form of attack helicopters, armored fighting vehicles and a swarm of stationary turrets. And mines. Lots of mines.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_35e05f2a	comment	Volume six of RWBY gives us Cinder vs. Neo. It plays with the trope in that Neo does far better against her than anyone else, save for Raven (who happens to be a Maiden), and matches Cinder in sheer skill. However, Cinder was holding back her Maiden powers to keep a low profile, so when they take the fight to an empty alleyway, she makes it clear she could burn Neo to crisp very easily, forcing her to stand down.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball Z: This happens a couple of times during the fight with Freeza. Gohan manages to get in a barrage of shots during Freeza's second form, and Krillin manages to cut off part of Freeza's tail. In Freeza's final form, Goku manages to score a few good blows before Freeza powers up. And even after Freeza does, Goku's Spirit Bomb still does some damage. This is later inverted when Freeza powers up against Super Saiyan Goku. Though Freeza gets in some good blows (even managing to nearly kill Goku right before the dragon revives everyone), he's still ultimately outdone, as Freeza loses power much too quickly to be a serious threat to Goku for very long. It happens later on in the Cell Saga, too. The most notable occasion comes with Tien using his Tri-Beam attack to keep Semi-Perfect Cell at bay so that Android 18 could escape; though the Tri-Beam doesn't actually harm Cell, he's pinned down by it and can't move until Tien stops the attack. Made all the more astonishing because Cell's previous form had been shown effortlessly taking down a Kami-fused Piccolo and Android 17, and the Semi-Perfect form made quick work out of Android 16. Cell gets hit with it a second time after becoming perfect and effortlessly slapping Vegeta, who easily outmatched his Semi-Perfect form, around. Vegeta breaks out the Final Flash, which blows off one of Cell's arms and a good chunk of his torso, and had he not dodged at the last second, it would have killed him. It happens again during Dragon Ball GT, in the Shadow Dragon Saga. Syn Shenron has just absorbed all the Dragon Balls and acquired the combined powers of all seven Shadow Dragons, becoming Omega Shenron, against whom Goku is completely outmatched. Then Goku breaks out his Dragon Fist, which not only makes Omega scream in pain, but also managed to blast him to pieces. Though Omega shortly after regenerates From a Single Cell, he nonetheless admits that the Dragon Fist was a very painful attack, even if it wasn't enough to finish him. Dragon Ball Super introduces Jiren. His fight with Goku. He easily thrashes Goku - while the latter is using the Super Saiyan Blue / Kaioken X20 combo - across the battlefield, but Goku did manage to (barely) keep up with him, get a small hit in, and his Kaio-Ken boosted Kamehameha actually gave Jiren a minor Oh, Crap!. Of course, during all this Jiren never bothers to get really serious. Goku seems to have made it even when he gains his new form, but at this point Jiren uses more of his full power and simply pushes him back, whereafter the form gives out. His fight with Hit similarly has Jiren utterly dominating most of the battle, but Hit still manages to get some painful hits in after he adapts to Jiren's fighting style. The fact Jiren even bothered to take the offensive is already a testament to Hit's prowess, the fact Hit actually lasted against Jiren's assault is flat-out amazing. Hit actually manages to almost knock him out of bounds and use his time skip to paralyze Jiren, with Jiren having to put serious effort into escaping. Likewise, his fight with Vegeta at first has Jiren dominating the fight at first, but once Vegeta manages to see through his Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, he quickly turns the tables and even manages to land a solid blow on Jiren, something only Goku in his Ultra Instinct form has managed to do. note Its ambiguous if Jiren was holding back against Vegeta though, as Vegeta comments that he did better when he fight Ultra Instinct Goku. Given Vegeta's personality, it might be a taunt, or factual However, Jiren quickly regains the upper hand and nearly rings Vegeta out with his Power Impact. Vegeta tries to finish Jiren with the Final Flash, but Jiren survives and blasts Vegeta away once again. His final battle against Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku has the situation reversed for the first time. After breaking even with and overpowering the incomplete Ultra Instinct once his initial surprise wears off, Jiren finds himself completely overwhelmed by the new depths of power Goku has achieved and gets thrashed like never before. It's so bad that it triggers his memories of his childhood trauma, which causes him to unleash his full unrestrained power at long last. Surprisingly, it lets him break even with Goku again, even push him back at several points, but his own rage hinders his original efficiency and prevents him from taking down Goku. When Jiren finally snaps and attacks Goku's friends and family in the stand after learning that Goku draws his newfound resolve and strength from The Power of Friendship, Goku finally has enough and finally beats him down. The only thing that spares Jiren from eliminated is the fact that the Mastered Ultra Instinct times out and leaves Goku barely able to move and the only thing that spares Goku from retaliation is when Frieza and 17 jump in for the save.

Though Dumbledore has the advantage throughout his duel with Voldemort, the latter still is able to dish out plenty of powerful spells and even keep Dumbledore somewhat on his toes, though it's heavily implied that Dumbledore is just holding him long enough for the Ministry to arrive, and given his Dissonant Serenity, probably could have wiped the floor with Voldemort if he'd wanted to.note The movie has it be a much closer fight, presumably for Rule of Cool purposes Earlier, Dumbledore is able to disable the remaining fighting Death Eaters easily enough, except Bellatrix Lestrange who is able to casually deflect his spell (he does catch up to her and quickly disable her however). Though Harry's duel with Bellatrix goes about the way you'd expect it to, he does get in one hit that knocks her down. This seems to amuse her more than anything however. Though Voldemort murders ministry witch Amelia Bones, we are told that she went down fighting a good fight.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_3fe6b4fb	comment	Several of the Yuuzhan Vong's more overwhelming victories in the New Jedi Order novels are tempered by these sorts of actions. In most cases, the mitigating factor comes from the Vong's Attack! Attack! Attack! style and We Have Reserves mentality leading to huge casualties, such as during the Fall of Coruscant; it's easy to miss amidst the heroes' desperate flight from their home planet, but three waves of Yuuzhan Vong ground troops are totally obliterated, along with similar numbers of their warships. Other specific examples: Edge of Victory: Conquest: The Jedi Academy has fallen, and Talon Karrde's smuggler fleet has taken heavy losses getting the students out — but they do get the students out alive, inflicting heavy damage in the process, and inadvertently spark the Jedi Heresy among the Vong's worker caste to boot. Star By Star: Even though Coruscant has fallen and the strike team to Myrkr is devastated, their mission was successful, destroying the Hero Killer voxyn, and delivering the team a Yuuzhan Vong frigate which will help them take advantage of the growing heresy by impersonating a goddess. Force Heretic: Remnant: The eponymous Imperial Remnant has suffered a devastating sneak attack to their capital, Bastion. The only relief comes when Luke Skywalker's small expedition accidentally jumps into the conflict, giving Pellaeon tactical advice that allows his damaged ships to obliterate a small Vong flotilla. On its own, this is a minor loss for the Vong, but it foreshadows how deadly the Remnant can be, even wounded, with a combination of Imperial pride and discipline and Jedi military intelligence.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_44715363	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! has this in the form of Jounouchi's duel with Dark Marik during the semi-finals of Battle City. Now since this is the semi-finals and Jounouchi is facing off against the Big Bad of the arc, it's a Foregone Conclusion that he will lose, but the story has Jounouchi come within one move of actually beating him before collapse from physical exhaustion. The duel also showed that it took a massive physical toll on Dark Marik as well. Similarly, the first time Yugi duels Pegasus, the latter's mind reading powers make him almost invincible, especially when he takes control of Dark Magician. However, Yugi does deduce that the way he did it made another monster vulnerable, and he almost takes it out before the timer reached zero, even though he was reduced to just playing the top card of his deck without looking at it. Cronos in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX has a couple of these, especially after his Heel–Face Turn began in earnest. In both his duels with Pegasus and Camula, his opponent kept control of the Duel all the way, but he was able to get in some pretty heavy hits with his powerhouse Ancient Gears in the meantime.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_4c095a1f	comment	An arguable inversion occurs in the battle between Starscream and Rainbow Dash, probably the most curbstompy fight in Death Battle history, with the latter utterly toying with the former for the entire duration of the fight, even more than their stats might imply. This seems to be mostly for the purpose of the inherent Rule of Funny in seeing a small pony annihilating a giant robot, but is also somewhat justified, since due to the potency of his arsenal any good hit by Starscream could have theoretically annihilated Dash, if only he weren't too incompetent to land even one. Starscream lands all of two hits in the entire fight, one with his metal hand and one with the Null Ray, which does not damage organic beings and therefore only stuns and dazes Dash for a second or two. She is at least visibly worried about his final barrage of missiles, even though she winds up using it to her advantage.

That being said, they still do manage to give him a good fight, and Ditzy even says that the fact that they managed to hurt him at all shows just how far they've come. Best shown near the end, when Sunset's final and most powerful attack actually manages to stalemate a direct hit from Hurricane's Bankai; though it quickly loses ground, it's much better than Ditzy's Cero, which was completely swamped without resistance. Downplayed with Pinkie's fight with Cheese Sandwich. While she does give him a good fight and even manages to injure him, she still loses and it's clear she never stood a chance, even without Cheese using his Bankai. Human Starlight's first fight with Sunset and her friends was much harder for her than the chapter would have you believe. Rainbow's attack actually made her hand go numb, and when Ditzy went all out Starlight states it was a good thing she was in an enclosed space (forcing her to scale things down) as she likely would've been soundly defeated otherwise.

Then a plucky German Panzer squad ambush an alien tank column. In exchange for losing the last 4 tanks the main character is in command of, they kill a single enemy personnel carrier and a single enemy tank by exploiting the aliens poor tactics. This is considered the most successful action against them of any kind, of the entire human-alien war so far. Obviously as the story goes on things get better for the humans as they develop innovative tactics such as the Russian dog bombs. Eventually the curb-stomping just plain ends and it becomes a more even war with lots of Rock Beats Laser.

The human military acquit themselves surprisingly well in ground battles due to their superior training and the Spartans. Heck, the Spartans are so feared by the Covenant that they call them "demons". But Covenant spaceships are much more advanced than human ships, so they win the space battles and glass the planet from orbit, rendering any human victory on the ground moot. Even a few space battles are this, with the Covenant achieving only a Pyrrhic Victory instead of delivering their usual curbstomp to humanity. The battle for Reach cost the Covenant dearly, even if they don't like to show it.

They can score a victory here and there, but ultimately it's a delaying action until they finish building the Crucible. Palaven, the turian homeworld, is taking a heavy beating, but the description of the war includes how the Reapers actually lost a few ships in the opening. While the Codex initially refers to the Fall of Khar'shan and the Fall of Earth for the first two fronts in the Reaper War, once Shepard visits the Turian home system, the Codex is updated with a third entry: The Battle of Palaven. If you secure a krogan-turian alliance, it goes so far as to include The Miracle of Palaven. The joint forces manage to smuggle a bunch of WMDs into the Reaper processing ships. This gets millions of people killed, but they were doomed anyways and at least this way a large number of Reaper ships get to die with them. Reading through the Codex also shows that Earth had one. Knowing the Reapers were coming in force, one of Earth's admirals positioned his fleet to fire on them as they came out of FTL. They lacked the firepower to sustain the assault, but humans scored first blood in the Reaper ambush of the Sol system.

Then we learn what, exactly, his clients were charged with: breaking into a morgue, cutting off the heads of one of the bodies, and having sex with the head. And then filming it.

In Predakings dragon form, absolutely nothing has proven to even damage him but merely slow him down, and while his robot form was a little easier to knock around he was still Nigh Invulnerable to their most powerful attacks. Utilizing Bash Brothers they gave him one hell of a fight, but in the end they were no match.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_882f1fdb	comment	Bugs Bunny often outsmarted his foes with sheer ease. Every now and again however a brief of wit would bestow the villain and take Bugs by surprise to make things a little more tense (and likely to prevent Bugs from becoming insufferably smug). Allegedly the creative team deliberately made Bugs' foes slightly more challenging so the audience wouldn't start to see him as the bully of the feud. It was a common formula for the villain to always get in one slapstick blow on Bugs to start the feud at the beginning of the short, at which point a riled up Bugs would prepare to do his worst:

At the beginning of the fight he manages to startle her for a moment when he lunges at her out of nowhere and tackles her hard to the ground, briefly pinning her before she manages to break free from his hold and fight back. He grapples with her evenly throughout the fight, despite her having more experience than him and this being the first real fight of his life. Finally, even though she ends up winning with the same move she used to beat him before, she was clearly taking the fight very seriously, unlike their fights as cubs, and he managed to save his friends from her.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_90e2f673	comment	The Inner Sphere achieved this a few times in BattleTech during the initial Clan invasion, typically via luring Clan forces into minefields, ambushes, or otherwise using smart tactics to counter the Clans' superior technology. This allowed the Inner Sphere troops to bleed the Clans a bit and insure that defeated forces were able to retreat rather than being wiped completely out. As the Clan invasion carried on and lines got stretched, these tactical cushions eventually became so common that the Clans lost their momentum strategically trying to continually strike deeper into the immensely bigger Inner Sphere, eventually leading to actual turning points such as the Battle of Luthien. The Reunification war became this for the Taurian Concordat. A 56-world Periphery State, the Concordat were invaded by the 1000+-world-sized Star League... And lost horribly. The cushion comes in that the Star League expected the Concordat to fall within a year or two. It took them 20 years, and the Star League military taking disproportionate casualties, before the Taurians were forced into a surrender. The short story "Three Points of Victory" revolves around this trope: The world of Sheliak, facing invasion by Clan Ghost Bear and having no military at all, decided to bid their All-Star (American) Football team and challenged Clan Ghost Bear to a Trial of Possession game of the planet in the hope that the Clanners wouldn't know how to play. They quickly discover that not only do Clanners know how to play American Football, it's a favoured pastime for the Super Soldier Elementals Clan Ghost Bear use for their team. The story focuses around the Sheliak All-Stars' attempt to score even a single point off their opponents while they're otherwise being flattened. The match ends 84-3, and Sheliak is handed over peacefully in the postgame.

By the closing points of the series however, the Urpneys, while still often outsmarted very easily, managed to prove more evasive in several episodes, with the Noops Immunity To Slapstick downplayed so they often suffered one or two blows pursuing them. Similar to said Golden Age examples above, this was likely done so the Noops looked more provoked.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_985ad25d	comment	Dragon Ball Super introduces Jiren. His fight with Goku. He easily thrashes Goku - while the latter is using the Super Saiyan Blue / Kaioken X20 combo - across the battlefield, but Goku did manage to (barely) keep up with him, get a small hit in, and his Kaio-Ken boosted Kamehameha actually gave Jiren a minor Oh, Crap!. Of course, during all this Jiren never bothers to get really serious. Goku seems to have made it even when he gains his new form, but at this point Jiren uses more of his full power and simply pushes him back, whereafter the form gives out. His fight with Hit similarly has Jiren utterly dominating most of the battle, but Hit still manages to get some painful hits in after he adapts to Jiren's fighting style. The fact Jiren even bothered to take the offensive is already a testament to Hit's prowess, the fact Hit actually lasted against Jiren's assault is flat-out amazing. Hit actually manages to almost knock him out of bounds and use his time skip to paralyze Jiren, with Jiren having to put serious effort into escaping. Likewise, his fight with Vegeta at first has Jiren dominating the fight at first, but once Vegeta manages to see through his Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, he quickly turns the tables and even manages to land a solid blow on Jiren, something only Goku in his Ultra Instinct form has managed to do. note Its ambiguous if Jiren was holding back against Vegeta though, as Vegeta comments that he did better when he fight Ultra Instinct Goku. Given Vegeta's personality, it might be a taunt, or factual However, Jiren quickly regains the upper hand and nearly rings Vegeta out with his Power Impact. Vegeta tries to finish Jiren with the Final Flash, but Jiren survives and blasts Vegeta away once again. His final battle against Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku has the situation reversed for the first time. After breaking even with and overpowering the incomplete Ultra Instinct once his initial surprise wears off, Jiren finds himself completely overwhelmed by the new depths of power Goku has achieved and gets thrashed like never before. It's so bad that it triggers his memories of his childhood trauma, which causes him to unleash his full unrestrained power at long last. Surprisingly, it lets him break even with Goku again, even push him back at several points, but his own rage hinders his original efficiency and prevents him from taking down Goku. When Jiren finally snaps and attacks Goku's friends and family in the stand after learning that Goku draws his newfound resolve and strength from The Power of Friendship, Goku finally has enough and finally beats him down. The only thing that spares Jiren from eliminated is the fact that the Mastered Ultra Instinct times out and leaves Goku barely able to move and the only thing that spares Goku from retaliation is when Frieza and 17 jump in for the save.

Right before being left to die, Luffy manages to grab Crocodile's arm with a wet hand, establishing a weakness that would be exploited in later fights. Although Whitebeard manages to curbstomp Akainu with a few attacks, Akainu shows that he's no pushover by blowing off half of Whitebeard's face. Later, it's shown that Akainu is even capable of fighting off the rest of Whitebeard's crew by himself. Zigzagged with Law on Dressrosa. For the most part, he's outmatched by Doflamingo, though he manages to get a few licks in by rupturing Doflamingo's organs with Gamma Knife. Initially, this only seems to serve to make Doflamingo look stronger as he survives what should have been a killing blow, but the damage certainly helped Luffy as he stepped in to defeat the Warlord.

The two dozen, or so, fighter planes are then engaged by a large swarm of more than a hundred small nimble defender craft that are also protected by their own shields. In the span of about one hour, what was supposed to be the opening phase of a counterattack is aborted as the operation turns into a one-sided slaughter in favor of the invaders. To make matters worse, as the main defensive force finishes off Black Knight Squadron, another massive swarm of defender craft is dispatched to El Toro, with the intent of destroying the base and anyone on it. Seeing what a disaster the operation was, Cpt. Steven Hiller manages to outmaneuver one of the craft that chased him from Los Angeles onto the Nevada desert, and he forces it to crash and captures the enemy pilot.

The aliens opened the invasion with attacks on major cities and battlefields all over the globe, taking every nation on Earth by near-complete surprise and inflicting heavy damage on most of their civilian targets. But the battlefields they attacked mostly turned into Enemy Mine situations between the Axis and Allied powers, particularly at Stalingrad and Pearl Harbor. Moreover, the alien attacks on civilian targets were too successful — they killed off Hitler and Mussolini and gave Admiral Yamamoto an opening to wrest control of Japan from the maniacs in the IJA, paving the way for an early end to World War II.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_bd91db47	comment	Pokémon: Ash/Satoshi manages to be the first person ever to knock out Tobias's/Tokuto's Darkrai, who up until that point, swept every foe away singlehandedly, including all the Gym Leaders. Unfortunately, half his team has already been knocked out. Furthermore, Tobias sends out a Latios. While Ash ultimately loses, last Pokemon remaining Pikachu manages to take Latios down with it. Also, whenever Ash battles an Elite Four member or Champion, you can expect him to get a hit in or at the very least adapt his strategy to better combat his foe, but ultimately he will lose and it will be obvious he never stood much of a chance. Averted during his battle against Lorelei (Prima in the dub), where Ash was completely beaten. Finally averted when Ash battles Diantha with Greninja. It starts off as if it's going to play out this way, with her Gardevoir nonchalantly dodging Greninja's attacks... but Greninja keeps doing better and better, and after completing it's Ash-Greninja Forme even takes the upper hand for a bit until the Power-Strain Blackout knocks out Ash and Greninja. During the battle between Paul and Cynthia, Cynthia wins four-zero. Pauls first three Pokémon are easily swept aside by Cynthia's Garchomp, but Torterra actually manages to bring Garchomp to it's knees with Giga Drain. Of course, Garchomp then proceeds to block Torterra's Secret Art and knock it out in one hit, but that's still more than most would manage. During Paul's battle with Brandon, all of his Pokémon are beaten in one or two hits without getting any damage in, but Paul's Nidoking actually does rather decently against Registeel, eating a few attacks and getting a few supereffective hits in on it's own. Even Brandon noted that Nidoking was strong. In Pokemon 3 The Movie while Charizard is actually able to mostly outmaneuver and even land some strong hits against Entei, it's clear that Entei doesn't feel the attacks and they do little more than slow him down. Still there is one point where Entei roars in surprise after Charizard hits it with enough fire to engulf the entire tower! During Alain's battle with Siebold, Alain's Mega Charizard X is handily beaten by Siebold's Mega Blastoise. However, Charizard gets a couple of decent hits in and does enough to impress Siebold. The trend continues during Alain's battle with Ash. Ash's Greninja can't even hit base form Charizard, but is fast and powerful enough to keep him on his toes. Once both transform, Ash-Greninja actually gets a rather painful hit in and matches Mega Charizard's power, but still gets beaten. When Ash finally battles Giovanni in Best Wishes, Pikachu uses a painful looking Iron Tail to counter Persian's Shadow Claw. Then Persian swats him with Power Gem. When the Sun and Moon gang travel to Kanto for an extracurricular class (a Gym battle, which they can't have in Alola) Kiawe, The Ace of the group, battles Brock. Although Kiawe's Tortunator initially holds its own against Steelix,repelling and countering it, the latter eventually assumes control of the battle, and one Mega Evolution later not even Kiawe's Z-Move puts much of a dent in Steelix (though as Brock even notes, that doesn't mean it didn't damn well hurt). Team Rocket's Meowth is usually depicted as a pitiful battler and falls quickly. Odd times however he gets in a good offence before the inevitable beatdown occurs. In "Jumping Rocket Ship" he lunges and uses Fury Swipes on Barry's Empoleon (a Steel type who was blocking at that). Empoleon actually falls down in pain, before shortly getting back up and blasting him off with Hydro Pump. In "Frenzied Factory Fiasco" Meowth challenges Pikachu to a Single-Stroke Battle. After an attempted dupe to capture Pikachu in his stolen Pokeball mid air fails, he quickly improvises a Fury Swipes. After landing, Pikachu staggers to one knee visibly hurt...while Meowth faints inelegantly from Pikachu's Iron Tail. Note that this is thus far the only battle they've had throughout the entire anime series where Meowth actually managed to injure Pikachu. The Team Rocket trio as a whole returned to their standard Goldfish Poop Gang status midway through the Black and White series after a long run having Took a Level in Badass. To maintain a Character Check however, they maintained this setup most of the time, getting beaten quickly by the twerps, but often still getting in the odd hit against them or being crafty or persistent enough to force them to improvise. XY similarly often kept up this trend early on, though after a while, full Villain Decay ensued and they went back to full on Curbstomp Battles. The Team Skull trio have a similar track record in Sun and Moon and regularly get their asses kicked. Tupp is left ecstatic when his Salandit gets in a hit against Ilima's Eevee however. One. Single. Hit. Eventually Ilima has to politely point out that Eevee has already gotten back up, and blasts them all off with it's signature Z-Move.

Gon actually landing a blow (and later successfully stealing his badge) impress Hisoka, despite Hisoka being far more powerful and skilled. On the airship, Netero invites Gon and Killua to try to take a ball away from him. They have no chance since he's one of the most powerful beings alive, but Gon is satisfied when he forces Netero to use his other arm. When they run afoul of the Genei Ryodan they are once again totally outclassed. They put up a good enough fight to impress the Spiders, to the point that one of them even wants the two to join them.

However, before he dies, Isshin manages to slice one of Nui's eyes out while she's distracted by Ryuko's voice. This is the first time Nui drops her Stepford Smiler act, with her screaming in bloody agony. Even to this day she is very sore about this and Satsuki theorises that Nui wants to fight Ryuko largely out of revenge.

However, she manages to use Jackie's self-defence lessons to give him a few painful strikes, block one of his blows (much to the surprise of them both), and slash his forearm with a carving knife before he inevitably brings her to her knees.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_d4f288eb	comment	Much like Bugs Bunny, Speedy Gonzales could often run rings around adversaries like Sylvester, and at fail of that, his Super Speed made him Nigh Invulnerable anyway. In the De Patie Freleng run of Looney Tunes shorts however, his foes were often depicted as more persistent or Speedy more prone to error, leading him to take the odd lump back. Daffy Duck bizarrely enough was his most formidable opponent, having more moments of overpowering Speedy and even winning two face offs against him, even if he still otherwise got comically outdone by the rodent.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_d98c0a73	comment	Teen Wolf basically runs on this. At the end of Season 1, Scott and Derek are soundly thrashed by the Alpha before Stiles and Jackson arrive, but they still both manage to land hits on him, with Scott briefly pinning him to the wall and inflicting enough damage to force him to transform. Likewise in Season 2, every fight against the Kanima ends up like this. Derek is usually the one doing the cushioning, but in the final episode it is attacked by Derek, Scott and Isaac at once, and each of them get in good hits. Derek even briefly outmaneuvers it, despite its speed. The failed ambush in 'Frayed' in Season 3 goes thoroughly in favour of the Alpha Pack for the most part, but there are numerous cushions. Allison arrives in a Big Damn Heroes moment and stops the Alpha Pack forcing Derek to kill Boyd. Scott charges at Ennis and is able to stand his ground, despite the latter's strength. Finally, Derek manages to near-mortally wound Ennis by throwing them both off a ledge.

Plus, the defenders in both countries manage to fall back to heavily-prepared defensive lines, causing the advance of both invasions to grind to a halt. The Warsaw Pact manage to invade all of Germany east of the Rhine, but at the cost of almost double the number of casualties suffered by NATO. This allows NATO to counterattack and take back significant chunks of territory.

Gohan manages to get in a barrage of shots during Freeza's second form, and Krillin manages to cut off part of Freeza's tail. In Freeza's final form, Goku manages to score a few good blows before Freeza powers up. And even after Freeza does, Goku's Spirit Bomb still does some damage. This is later inverted when Freeza powers up against Super Saiyan Goku. Though Freeza gets in some good blows (even managing to nearly kill Goku right before the dragon revives everyone), he's still ultimately outdone, as Freeza loses power much too quickly to be a serious threat to Goku for very long.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_f565604d	comment	The anime version of Eyeshield21 hands cushion to every team that got destroyed in the manga. Aside one case of Adaptational Badass none of them make much sense. Zokugaku Chameleon able to stop one offense against Poseidon thanks to their only important player Habashira stopping a bland receiver, in the manga he can't stop anything since the Poseidon has their tall lineman block him. The Yuuhi Guts all-star team (aces of different sport's clubs mashed together) score one touchdown against Devilbats until Hiruma decides to use combination play to beat a team that don't know enough about football to counter it, in the manga Hiruma goes with this plan right away and the all-star exchange their place with the regular starter after a forty points gap. The Scorpions get some Adaptational Villainy where they kidnap Hiruma leaving Devilbats without their quarterback and strategist, they even break the replacement quarterback when they realize they are still losing. Suddenly out of nowhere Hiruma shows up and secure the win (really not clear if he shot his way out of the kidnapping or the Scorpion's captain just assume he was gone). In the original game Hiruma is never "kidnapped" so they win without letting the Scorpion score a single touchdown Taiyou's Sphinx shows their new line formation during their match with Hakushu's Dinosaurs that make them a great offensive and defensive team before the Dinosaurs have Gaou (strongest highschooler/possibly man in Japan) send them all to the hospital. Again in the manga Gaou crushes the line in the first play because he didn't suddenly stop existing for the first minutes of the match. The Masaki Wolves is a joke in the manga while in the anime their captain become an Adaptational Badass who can become stronger and faster if he hunts the ball, he then lose against Seibu's team when the runningback remembers he is the second fastest character in the series at the time and simply dodges him.

The second Battle of Ponyville looks like one of these, as even though Terra takes out Luna and wipes the floor with the Mane Six, they refuse to give up, and get in plenty of hits of their own. It ends up as a subversion, as they actually manage to win, thanks to reigniting the Elements of Harmony and stripping Terra's power.

Curb-Stomp Cushion / int_f74b5f80	comment	Several battle scenes in Babylon 5 have this element. Most notably, the Season 2 episode The Long, Twilight Struggle features a fleet of ships being ambushed by a large Shadow fleet. Amidst the ships getting cut apart left and right, you do see two of the ships concentrating their fire to wound a single Shadow Battlecrab - the first time one of these ships is seen damaged in battle. The Earth-Minbari war was a generally one-sided stomping of humanity, with a single human victory being the destruction of the Minbari flagship Black Star in a minefield. Naturally, Sheridan was the one behind it. And the sore losers never let him forget it. However, the fluff implies that the Minbari did, in fact, sustain other casualties; it's just their casualties were significantly lower than that of the Earth Alliance. Depending on the source, the Battle of Vega, one of the first battles of the war, results in 1-3 destroyed Minbari ships, one of them being a Sharlin warcruiser being rammed by a prototype Nova-X battlecruiser (the future Omega destroyers).
