A ground wave is a condition in which the solid ground ripples and moves in waves, the way water in a pool will ripple when a rock is tossed in. In real life, this can only happen as a result of a nuke bomb detonation or a huge explosion (see the PEPCON disaster under Real Life, below). In fiction, some character with either superpowers or incredible strength strikes the ground — or the opponent it is fighting throws them at the ground — so hard that the ground rolls, ripples and moves in response. See Shockwave Stomp. Note that, if the landing just creates a big hole and not a ripple effect, it's a Ground-Shattering Landing. Might occur via a Ground Pound or Ground Punch. Compare Super Rug-Pull. Can overlap with Tremor Trampoline if the wave is powerful enough to throw someone into the air. |

In the Samurai Jack episode "Jack and the Scotsman II", the villain holding the Scotsman's wife prisoner makes the mistake of calling her fat within her hearing. The resulting rampage includes a seismic ground shock blow. | |

Capcom vs. games: Magneto's "Magnetic Shockwave" attack channels magnetic energy into the ground, releasing a series of explosions in the opponent's direction. Onslaught does this in Marvel vs. Capcom. Averted with the Hulk's Ground Wave move in Marvel Super Heroes despite the name, but played with starting with his return in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, as it's the ground itself that he actually gets to hit you rather than a ground-hugging energy wave. Exaggerated with the Gamma Wave. Gambit manages to slant this with his Cajun Explosion super move in two of the games. |

In The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, the lunar colonists who rebel against Earth's government throw rocks, basically steel-cased house-sized boulders, towards Earth. It's noted that they'll create a huge hole, a ground wave and a blast wave due to the air being compressed at the strike point. One strikes with so much force the impact can be seen with the naked eye all the way back on the moon! | |

Mario & Luigi: In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, at least one of the Koopalings causes ground waves by stomping when the heroic brothers fight him. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time: During the Swiggler boss fight, the boss will counter with several damaging shockwaves that take the form of the ground rippling if attacked head on. When the Trampoline attack item is being used, the entire ground briefly ripples and jiggles for every successful stomp preformed, even if the current target is floating in midair. |

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise, earthbenders are able to create this effect. It's normally used to push people away by literally moving the ground beneath their feet, giving themselves some room to maneuver, or else to just mess with an opponent's footing and balance. Toph, naturally, has also used this to travel at sub-locomotive speeds. | |

Champions. The 1984 Champions III supplement introduced the Shockwaves combat maneuver. This involves a character with Super-Strength hitting the ground and causing the ground to ripple in waves in all directions, potentially knocking opponents off their feet. | |

The King of Fighters: Protagonist Kyo Kusanagi and his rival Iori Yagami possess the Yami Barai ground fireball, though Kyo dropped it from his movelist starting with KOF '96note Not counting alternate or EX versions, though the Yami Barai returns for Kyo's default in KOF XIII. in favor of the Aragami/Dokugami chain combo attack. The franchise's first Big Bad Rugal Bernstein possesses Geese Howard's Reppuken since he copied the techniques of the world's greatest fightersnote SNK was originally going to have him use actual Power Copying like Rogue in X-Men vs. Street Fighter, but hardware limitations forced them to give him a standardized moveset. | |

Battlezone and the 98 Redux has two forms of this, first being the Thumper special weapon that dumps a large amount of your Hover Tanks nano-ammunition into the ground, causing a travelling lump of terrain that upends and spins vehicles caught in the path and it's particularly effective at spinning walkers around, leaving them unable to target you until they land. The Day Wrecker bomb launched by the Supply Launch Facility (Armory) also causes a short, circular wave in the terrain when it detonates. | |

Fatal Fury protagonist Terry Bogard (pictured at top) has his Power Wave attack, as well as the stationary Round Wave and the supermove version Power Geyser; Terry retains all three of these attacks for his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, though the Round Wave is used in mid-air. Meanwhile, Terry's Arch-Nemesis Geese Howard has the Reppuken and the enhanced Double Reppuken; Geese's son Rock also uses the move, despite being mentored by Terry. | |
