Opponent Switch	comment	Our group of heroes are fighting against the Psycho Rangers, Evil Twins, or opponents skilled or specialized against certain techniques against them, individually, fighting to, at best, a stalemate. One of the heroes realizes it's futile fighting against their equals, so all of them switch opponents, which wins them the battle. For some reason this almost never leads to Evil Twin A being defeated by Twin B but Evil Twin B defeating Twin A, as might be expected if they're actual equal to their doubles, nor the evil ones winning due to the change. There just seems to be some rule that switching opponents automatically guarantees heroic victory, even if it doesn't make sense. A common subversion of the Plot Tailored to the Party. May be justified in that the villans use techniques that are only useful against their chosen enemy, meaning they would be useless against anyone else. Another justification that makes more sense is that the heroes don't know their own weaknesses as well as they know those of their teammates, so when they switch, their teammates know the weaknesses of their teammate and thus the Evil Twin they're up against and can thus defeat them.

Opponent Switch / int_16a28da	comment	This is part of the premise of the Marvel Comics crossover Acts of Vengeance. This, of course, lead to some very odd, but memorable match ups, with a variety of tones ranging from almost wacky comedy to deadly serious. Memorable stories included Daredevil vs. Ultron, the Punisher vs Doctor Doom, the Power Pack against Typhoid Mary, a group of Spidey's D-listers against the Fantastic Four, and Magneto (a Holocaust survivor) vs the Red Skull (a Nazi).

Note that it also went in an opposite direction: initially, the speedy archer Uryu was fighting against a giant and The Big Guy Chad has been fighting against a fast shooting Arrancar. Then they switched to Mirror Match of sorts, by fighting opponents strong in the same fields as they - and completely overwhelmed them.

When the Girls and the crooks throw down, both sides end up attacking their teammates by mistake before Blossom says they should just fight their counterparts to keep things simple. The whole episode is taken into Refuge in Audacity territory because the crooks' disguises are blatantly obvious to the viewernote as in, grown men wearing giant plastic "heads" and dresses and yet everyone including the real Powerpuff Girls and the crooks still confuses them for the real thing.

This actually makes things worse, as Elan's normally useless bardic magic is effective against Thog, and Roy has been holding back a strong urge to beat the tar out of Nale's twin brother Elan for quite some time. The Linear Guild strikes again much later. With Roy getting the tar kicked out of him by Thog, Elan fleeing Nale, and V unable to get through Zz'dtri's magical defences, V then realises that Zz'dtri's achilles heel is best countered by someone else and invokes this trope - by using the Guild's own archer specialist, to boot.

Nami gets Kumadori's key but is unable to defeat him due to his superior strength and close- to mid-range fighting, resulting in Chopper stepping in to help. Sanji is stronger than Kalifa but is unable to hit a girl, and after his defeat, Nami saves him, winning because she can counter Kalifa's bubble powers with her Clima-tact. Usopp is not strong enough to defeat Jyabura, so Sanji steps in while telling Usopp to go save Robin, defeating Jyabura with his ability to break through his specialized tekkai. Usopp manages to snipe Spandam and the guards from a distance, something no one else could do. Only Zoro and Franky end up defeating their original opponents; Kaku was a swordsman like Zoro, but Fukurou relied on speed and hand-to-hand combat, in contrast to Franky's mix of close-quarters and ranged attacks.

However, matchups in these tournaments where a protagonist faces a different rival (i.e. Iris' rival Georgia being Ash's second round opponent during the Club Battle) is actually commonplace.

Opponent Switch / int_cb03430c	comment	Denji Sentai Megaranger/Power Rangers in Space does this with the Nejirangers / the original Psycho Rangers. Each Psycho Ranger has absorbed the fighting knowledge of his/her opposing Power Ranger, and is thus able to properly defend and retaliate. At first, the Power Rangers do the normal "switch opponents" variant, but since the rangers are Color-Coded for Your Convenience, the Psychos just find their Rangers again and switch back. Then the Power Rangers go in all dressed like the Blue Ranger. And for good measure, they get Zhane to come in dressed as a Silver Psycho Ranger. This works due to a), the Psychos not being able to work with one another naturally, and b), the Psychos not expecting a Sixth Ranger. After that, the three surviving Psychos memorize each Ranger's voice so that they won't fall for that trick either. Possibly the most justified case for a show not going with this trope for more than one episode.
