Unnecessary Combat Roll	comment	For no apparent reason, the protagonist will tuck into a roll, coming out shooting. If this is during some sneaky activity, rather than outright combat, they may do the roll to cross any open space, for no apparent benefit. In Real Life of course, coming out of a roll into a shooting position puts the person in a less-stable stance, wastes a lot of time and energy, and is likely to be very disorienting. Not only that unlike in fiction, there usually nothing stopping your attacker from just changing directions mid-attack and invincibility frames obviously don't exist. Often parodied, through sheer gratuity, through the rolling individual just being really bad at it, or through lampshading. Video games tend to fall victim to this as the negative consequences of rolling are often omitted as Acceptable Breaks from Reality. This often leads to repeated diving rolls being a better choice than flat-out running when moving from place to place, something especially evident in Speed Runs. It could be argued that in Real Life a single diving roll covers more distance than a large step — it's the recovery that takes a lot of time and the maneuver is likely to result in injury. Remove the need for recovery and make rolling safe, and we might as well roll rather than run or walk. Of course, if you DO have the agility and balance to pull it off and recover on landing, it suddenly becomes a really effective method of outmaneuvering someone. The level of athletics needed to pull that feat off is probably why it is left to the high Dex classes. Closely related is the preferred method for passing through a Laser Hallway, only in that case the flipping and rolling makes perfect sense, it's the layout of the lasers that doesn't. Note that rolling is acceptable when the character has fallen from a great height, as otherwise piling the weight of of one's entire upper body on one's legs is a good way to cause injury or break the bones holding them together. Rolling from a less great height does this as well, but also makes it less likely for you to hit the ground, lose your footing and break your your sacrum or coccyx by landing on your ass with the remaining momentum you have. Not to be confused with Attack Roll, Roll-and-Move or Rolling Attack. The Indy Hat Roll is a related trope.

Sometimes it will be an evasive or recovery move but just as likely it's something he does before his upper cut or something, even though doing such after makes him more likely to miss than simply running or even jumping. Looks cool when he pulls it off, admittedly.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_1a5358c8	comment	In Dungeons & Dragons Online any character with ranks in the tumble skill can hold SHIFT while pressing move, to do a roll instead of normal movement. There is no limit to how much you can do that and it is as fast as regular movement (faster in water of a very specific depth). The downside is that you suffer a penalty to attack rolls shortly after moving, even by rolling, and you can't attack while rolling. You can also use it for Necessary Combat Rolls, when surrounded by a kobold horde to leave safely. Likewise, if you have the Mobility feat, such tumble rolls can offer a +4 bonus to Armor Class. And finally, if you have enough ranks in Tumble, the rolls turn into flips that take the character just enough distance from their starting point to be out of the radius of a Fireball, or similar spell.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_1c1ceec7	comment	In Monster Hunter, you can roll to get out of the way of a monster's attack, but you can't use it to reliably dodge through attacks unless you raise the Evade skill, which gives you more invincibility time while rolling. Against any boss monster that knows you're there and can see you, you can do a panic dive by sprinting away from it and attempting to roll. You'll be safe from damage for much longer than when rolling, but it takes a moment to get back up, and against monsters that don't locate you by sight, you can't dive because sprinting away doesn't make your character run in a panic.

It's a vital skill in covert operations; since you're likely to be out of cover while sneaking up behind an enemy, if they spot you, your best bet is to jump into the nearest cover while minimizing the amount of time it takes to lower yourself in the event that your cover is just a foot-high sand bar.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_438b63e4	comment	In Halo: Reach, the "Evade" armor ability available to Elites in multiplayer means that players can do this trope as often as they'd like! It's a very useful ability, as it can save your butt if you run into too many enemies at once, are about to get hit by the game's different BFGs, or, as players figured out in Forge mode/Custom games, set the speed higher than normal and fly across Forge World in your glitching glory! It's a good way to cover ground quickly, too; while the Evade covers less distance than Sprint if both are used until they are depleted, it covers the distance faster, which is important when fighting vehicles or someone with a power weapon. Try sprinting away from a rocket's blast radius. Probably won't work out.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_43f52aa9	comment	Player characters (and, technically, enemies) in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion who are skilled in acrobatics can perform rolls and flips in order to dodge attacks. Now, much more useful is to engage in the traditional use of rolling in a video game: an unbroken series of Unnecessary Noncombat Rolls that scoot you around the countryside at a pace rivaling that of riding a horse.

During an action packed chase scene, Rhys winds up falling on the hood of August's car, at which point the latter aims a gun at the former. Rhys can then roll out of the way in a Quick Time Event, but since he's on a small platform right in front of his enemy, August immediately notes how all he has to do is slightly alter his aiming before he has a clear shot.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_5425ce75	comment	Grand Theft Auto: Surprisingly, many of the games subvert this. Due to the way the AI is designed, rolling your way into a safespot can save you from gunfire on critical situations (assuming you're on a mission and not fending off the cops) . Also, the same AI stupidity also manages to play this trope straight as many NPCs roll their way straight into your path on an attempt to screw you over with a surprise attack... giving you enough time to kill them before they even try to shoot you (and in some games, they make a look around for danger animation while hiding behind a wall, easily giving away their location before they even start shooting) This trope is usually averted in the multiplayer of the game. If an enemy player targets you, you can immediatelly roll so that their lock on is removed, giving you enough time to kill them before they kill you. Though, in free aim lobbies where there is no such thing as lock on, this trope gets played pretty straight.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_562e8a6e	comment	Max Payne: Max himself can either roll to the sides or backwards by jumpingnote if you equip a melee weapon or throwable in 1 or are otherwise unarmed, you can also roll forwards, during which he is completely immune to bullets (but not explosions or fire). Rolling to the sides also slows down time, though the utility of it is questionable at best since it's nowhere near as radical as Bullet Time proper and only acts for a split second. In a pinch, Max can leap and roll every which way until he reaches good cover or until the mooks run out of ammo and have to reload. If using Bullet Time, Max can also do a diving leap while firing his guns. While Max is in the air, he can take damage, but will not die even when his silhouette is brimming with red; all bets are off after he impacts the ground, though. If your Bullet Time gauge is dry, Max will default to a roll that can also go forwards after the 'click' of an empty weapon. Max Payne 3 ups the ante on this with its limited inventory system, which encourages the player to repeatedly discard and replace their firearms. When picking up a new gun on the move, something players will do about as much as shooting, Max will tuck into a roll to grab it and can easily come up shooting. In addition to Max himself, the more well-trained enemy factions (the Crachá Preto, AUP, and UFE) will occasionally roll sideways to get out of your crosshairs.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (more so in Snake's Super Smash Bros. appearance), it's more of a tackle than a roll, and can actually be pretty useful... or just cool. One possible way to beat Null in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is to roll under Null's sword swing and then immediately blast him with your shotgun as he just blocks everything else with his machete. Meryl and Akiba do this during the final shootout in the Outer Haven command center in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain replaces the dodge roll with a dodge hit-the-deck. It's a vital skill in covert operations; since you're likely to be out of cover while sneaking up behind an enemy, if they spot you, your best bet is to jump into the nearest cover while minimizing the amount of time it takes to lower yourself in the event that your cover is just a foot-high sand bar. Also, aiming at a dodging player in Multiplayer is a bitch.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Link has been able to do this in most games since Ocarina of Time. In fact, until Skyward Sword added running as a standard gameplay mechanic, it was actually one of the fastest ways to move, resulting in many players learning to constantly mash the roll button for 90% of the game. The 3D entries also give Link a variety of other dodges (including sidesteps, backsteps, and backflips), some of which are also used as faster alternatives to normal walking by veteran players. In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, rolling too much causes Link to get dizzy, likely in response to the players who abused the rolling from previous games. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, if you press B while rolling with your sword out, you roll into a stab. It's awesome, if a bit inaccurate. Again, this debuted in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap as the roll attack taught by Greyblade. One of the Hidden Skills taught by the Shade actually has you roll around the target before jumping up and slashing him from behind.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: Halo: Combat Evolved: The human marines would roll away from gunfire and grenades. It didn't really help much. In later games they would trade the rolling for actually useful combat behavior, such as firing while taking cover behind objects. Elites would roll away from grenades as well, though one can consider the necessity of it considering Elites had energy shielding. Sometimes they would roll off cliffs too. Instead of flinching and exposing themselves to your fire when you shoot their hand like in the subsequent games, Jackals would roll to the side instead, and this would often be the only time you get a clear shot on one of them other than catching one who's unaware of you. In Halo: Reach, the "Evade" armor ability available to Elites in multiplayer means that players can do this trope as often as they'd like! It's a very useful ability, as it can save your butt if you run into too many enemies at once, are about to get hit by the game's different BFGs, or, as players figured out in Forge mode/Custom games, set the speed higher than normal and fly across Forge World in your glitching glory! It's a good way to cover ground quickly, too; while the Evade covers less distance than Sprint if both are used until they are depleted, it covers the distance faster, which is important when fighting vehicles or someone with a power weapon. Try sprinting away from a rocket's blast radius. Probably won't work out.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_7668653b	comment	In Mass Effect 3, Commander Shepard can do combat rolls at any point while on a mission, although during combat they're useful for moving between cover and dodging enemy grenades. In fact, in multiplayer rolling (though only some people actually roll, there's a wide variety of dodging animations) is considered useful enough that tougher characters lacking such moves are considered by some to be severely handicapped.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_7bff7264	comment	Halo: Combat Evolved: The human marines would roll away from gunfire and grenades. It didn't really help much. In later games they would trade the rolling for actually useful combat behavior, such as firing while taking cover behind objects. Elites would roll away from grenades as well, though one can consider the necessity of it considering Elites had energy shielding. Sometimes they would roll off cliffs too. Instead of flinching and exposing themselves to your fire when you shoot their hand like in the subsequent games, Jackals would roll to the side instead, and this would often be the only time you get a clear shot on one of them other than catching one who's unaware of you.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_806c20e5	comment	This is your primary means of evasion in Demon's Souls and the Dark Souls trilogy. How quickly you can roll and how many invincibility frames your roll has depends on your equipment load, except in Dark Souls II where equipment load only determines the speed of the roll and the Agility stat determines i-frames. In Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1, staying below 25% of your total equip load will provide you with the fastest roll with the most i-frames, while staying between 25% and 50% provides a standard roll. Above 50% you are stuck with a slow, useless flop on the ground. Dark Souls 3 has these breakpoints at 30% and 70% respectively, while Dark Souls 2 has your roll simply get progressively slower until the 70% breakpoint where you begin fat rolling. In any of these games, if you go above 100% of your equip load, you can't roll at all and you can barely even walk.

This "Epic Geordi Maneuver" became a Running Gag on YTMND: http://epicgeordi.ytmnd.com/ Geordi does it yet again in Star Trek: Generations, although the door was considerably less ajar this time, almost justifying it. Star Trek: Voyager. In "Deadlock" after Vidiian soldiers storm the Voyager, Ensign Kim does one during a shootout in Sickbay.

Now, much more useful is to engage in the traditional use of rolling in a video game: an unbroken series of Unnecessary Noncombat Rolls that scoot you around the countryside at a pace rivaling that of riding a horse. Players can again roll to dodge in The Elder Scrolls Online, and are often encouraged to in certain situations, as rolling not only displaces you quickly, but also makes every incoming attack, either physical or projectile based, miss. However, the fact that it takes a whole chunk of stamina to do so makes most players think twice before rolling, since that is a resource that can be used for a bunch of other different functions.

You can roll up to twice in a row, except with the Tetra Dualies, which allow as many as four consecutive dodge rolls, and the Dualie Squelchers, which allows you to jump out of a dodge roll for continuous movement as long as you have ink. You're fixed in a crouching stance for a moment after rolling, during which the weapon's accuracy is increased, so a well-timed dodge will afford you the chance to counter but a poorly-timed one will just leave you more vulnerable.

Essentially the game seems to treat chain-goring one guy, then dodging nothing at all in order to move up to another victim as a single combat event. This can be hilarious to watch. Additionally, the wind-down can be cancelled by pressing the Square button during a roll (or, in the first game, using the R1 shoulder bash attack) thus making rolling the fastest method of movement. This exploit has so far been in every game of the series, and can also be done in the current show-floor demo of Ascension.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_ac9f81ac	comment	Jaden Korr from Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy can do both forward and backward rolls, and add a lightsaber stab at the end of a forward roll. Justified in the early stages of the game because a forward roll into stab is one of the few reliable ways to kill enemies with lightsabers (Reborn mostly, though it can work on cultists). Given how painful a lightsaber to the crotch is, you'd think they'd learn to guard low when you crouch or roll. The slash marks left by this attack are somewhat buggy, because no other saber attack actually stabs your enemy. After one successful hit, it's possible for 9001 slash trails to appear, centered on where you hit them. Averted with later enemies in the game, who will attack you mid-roll or dodge your attack, making Unnecessary Combat Rolls unreliable.

In fact, until Skyward Sword added running as a standard gameplay mechanic, it was actually one of the fastest ways to move, resulting in many players learning to constantly mash the roll button for 90% of the game. The 3D entries also give Link a variety of other dodges (including sidesteps, backsteps, and backflips), some of which are also used as faster alternatives to normal walking by veteran players.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_dab32e3	comment	In most of the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero games where he's playable, Zero can learn a move where he rolls with his saber out. It's completely insane and actually tends to be less useful than his normal dash-slash, but man, does it look cool. (In the Zero games, if you keep tapping B, you can roll-slash continuously as long as the terrain and enemies allow. Good thing Reploids don't get dizzy!)

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_dddb5ff9	comment	Used to hilarious effect in the film Burn After Reading by George Clooney's character, who is ostensibly using this technique on a guy he killed 5 minutes ago. This is justified, since he was diving for a gun that was lying on the floor, and by the fact that the character lacks any proper combat training, in addition to being a moron (like most of the rest of the cast).

She does this in a narrow hallway, stands fully upright in front of the guy after the roll then pulls out the pistols excruciatingly slowly (considering he's probably just feet away now and was just firing half a second ago). Maybe he was between magazines. Mal also pulls one during the fight in "Heart of Gold".

In Gears of War 2, this is actually the fastest way to move, roadie-running (essentially sprinting while crouching) when you're not rolling and attempting to roll as often as possible.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_ef661e97	comment	Street Fighter: Joke Character Dan Hibiki actually teaches people to use Unnecessary Combat Rolls in his horrid fighting style, Saikyo. In some games (mostly the Capcom Versus series) Dan can drop all of his limit bars into a super taunt, which is just him rolling around and taunting at super speed with a glowing image trail. Parodying the KOF roll is part of his schtick as a SNK parody. Vega both optimizes and subverts this at the same time. In general, rolling is often used in the Street Fighter series to bypass projectile attacks; particularly for characters who lack a projectile of their own. Simply ducking, however, is more common.

Seriously, he can pass through bullets, flamethrowers, and giagantic laser waves with it.

Kind of annoying as it makes her hard to control compared to her straight jump, and throws off her aim. But it does activate the SCREW ATTACK when you get that powerup. In the Super Smash Bros. series, she does this with her morph ball, making it more useful given how much more mobile it is and is unlikely to get her injured. In Metroid: Other M, Samus can do this, in rapid succession even, to dodge attacks, and it even somehow charges her beam instantly.

Unnecessary Combat Roll / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: Sora can do this in the first game. In the sequel it is removed in favor of a new ability called the Quick Run, which had a somewhat different feel to it and minor lag issues. In the Updated Re-release Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition, Japanese gamers saw the beloved rolling maneuver return as well and rejoiced. Sora can do this in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and doing so allowed one to avoid certain attacks. Riku has the much-preferred dodge jump, where he jumps... and lands behind the opponent, facing his back and letting you unleash hell. In the PS2 remake, Riku's dodge was changed to a lengthy backflip, while Dark Riku got a short-range teleport that functioned similarly to the dodge jump. Lampshaded in the Chain of Memories manga where when Marluxia takes away all of Sora's skills, Sora comments, "So dodge roll is just a somersault now?" Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days gives the Dodge Roll to Roxas. In addition to the normal roll, you could upgrade it to: stagger enemies on contact, reflect projectiles, or activate automatically in response to attack. Made funnier in Mission Mode where you can choose to play as any of the Organization, and watch them roll about with weapons such as a shield, a book, a tomahawk, a claymore and a scythe. Also of note, Mickey Mouse in the same game is the smallest character in Mission Mode. His Dodge Roll is so tight that if the player hammers the button repeatedly, he appears to have turned into a Morph Ball... with a Keyblade sticking out the side. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep goes back-and-forth on this. Ven can use Dodge Roll just like Sora and Roxas (he can even upgrade it with a magic attack), while Terra gets a more reasonable forward charge. Aqua, however, gets a dodge cartwheel.
