Deliberately Jumping the Gun | comment |
In any competition, making the first move helps. Naturally, the Combat Pragmatists of the world and those who believe in fighting dirty often like to take that a step further, by intentionally getting in a first blow before a competition is even supposed to start so they have the advantage. While an Anti-Hero may be able to get away with this, it's generally more of a villain move. After all, heroes can only get away with creeping out in front of a race's starting line or hitting an opponent that isn't ready in sparring so many times before they stop looking like a hero. If the person doing it loses anyway, it's because Cheaters Never Prosper. The "Why Wait?" Combatant has a lot of similarities to this tactic (and can occasionally overlap), but that sort of combatant often just wants to fight, while this one is fighting dirty to win. Not to be confused with False Start. |

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Butch is about to be in a knife fight with fellow gang member Harvey, who is challenging Butch to be leader of the gang. Butch tells the others that the fight isn't starting yet and approaches Harvey, pretending to be concerned about what rules they'll fight under. When Harvey protests that there are no such things as rules in a knife fight, Butch immediately disables Harvey with a Groin Attack, then instructs his other men to officially start the fight, then finishes off Harvey. | |

In Sleeping Dogs (2012), Wei phones Hotshot and challenges him to a race, which the latter agrees by meeting him at Victoria Park. Just before the countdown goes to "START", Hotshot will deliberately get ahead of the race which Wei calls him out for. It's a ploy to have Hotshot arrested by first leading him to a trap where the HKPD are lying in wait and proceed to apprehend him, by disabling his car, for killing a rival racer. | |

The LEGO website used to have a flash game based on its Drome Racers line wherein you could set your start to go on green, yellow, or red. Going on yellow was safest: no penalty, and if your opponent started on green you'd begin with a 3 second lead. If you went on red and your opponent went on green, you'd be penalized by 3 seconds. | |

The Quiet Man has the rivalry between Sean Thornton and Will Danaher come to a head, and the two combatants prepare for a slugfest. Danaher makes a show of raising his arms and announcing to the watching crowd, "Marquis of Queensbury! Marquis of Queensbury!" meaning that he intends to fight in accordance with the rules of boxing, as set forth by the Marquis of Queensbury. Sean Thornton, wanting to signify the same intention, mimics Danaher's performance. Thornton is still gesturing to the crowd when Danaher wallops him with right hook that sends Thornton reeling. | |

All over the place in TF2 - Duel Failure (a Jerma-Star crossover). The two of them try to arrange a revolver duel, but both of them keep trying to betray each other. The first time, Jerma lies that he won't attack STAR_ as he approaches the duel zone, only to fire... and completely miss. The second time, STAR_ kills Jerma in the middle of explaining the rules. Then lastly, when the two of them arrange the rules to be to face away, take ten steps, and then turn to shoot, STAR_ tries to cheat by turning on step 3, except Jerma never turned at all and shoots him the instant STAR_ tries. | |

Blake's 7 In "Death Watch", two systems fight their wars via Combat by Champion. One side tries to get the drop on another's champion—a skilled Quick Draw gunfighter—by attempting to assassinate him the minute war is declared, but before he's heard about it. In the same episode, Tarrant becomes the Champion and has to fight on a killing ground chosen at random. Orac hacks into the gaming computer to find out the environment Tarrant is about to enter, so he has a few crucial seconds to prepare an ambush. In fairness, the other side is already cheating by using an android as their player. |

In Nation, the Combat by Champion is supposed to start when a warrior picks up their weapon. Mau starts it by throwing a handful of sand into Cox's eyes. This isn't technically breaking the rules; he was holding a spear, put it down, and picked up the sand, his weapon. As Cox has a gun and is fighting on behalf of the Cannibal Tribe, Mau doesn't come across badly for the trick. | |

For the first event, the 100 meter dash, Spike has the starting pistol, but after going "On your mark, get set..." he runs to within one step away from the finish line. The moment he yells "Go!" and fires the gun, Droopy instantly zips to the finish line, then tells Spike that he might be cheating. | |

Cort advises The Hero that there's actually a click that comes from the clock just before the chime, and to listen for it and start drawing then, since it's too close to the chime for anyone watching to tell the difference. | |
