  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic Trope: A previously unseen character makes himself known with a dramatic attack.

  • Straight: Emperor Evulz has overwhelmed Bob, who laid battered on the ground. Evulz raised his sword to deal the final strike, when suddenly Alice crashed from the window and delivered a kick to Evulz' face with much gusto.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Downplayed: Alice's kick didn't do enough damage to Evulz, who was armor-clad from head to toe. It did distract him, though.
  • Justified: Alice is masterful in using the element of surprise.
  • Inverted:
    • After he overwhelmed Bob, Evulz threw a force-bolt to Alice, who was hiding and waiting for a chance to snipe him.
    • A character uses a powerful attack move that also results in them leaving the scene.
  • Subverted: Alice crashed in with a kick, and Evulz promptly dodged.
  • Double Subverted: But Alice did an impossible kung-fu manuver, and kick him with her other feet. Bet he didn't see that one coming.
  • Parodied: Alice uses the Dynamic Entry every time she enters a room or building, even in everyday normal life.
  • Zig Zagged: Alice crashed in with a kick, which Evulz dodged. She tried to restart her attack with her other feet, but missed or was also dodged.
  • Averted:
    • All the Nakama fought Evulz at the same time.
    • A character enters a room in a normal way.
  • Enforced: Deus Ex Machina.
  • Lampshaded:
Cquote1

  Bob: "Oh wow, even I didn't see that one coming."

Cquote2
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: EVERY. SINGLE. ATTACK.
  • Defied: Alice had a sniper rifle next to her and could see evuls through the window.
  • Discussed: "Man, Alice really likes breaking through things to deliver a kick."
  • Conversed: "She came out of nowhere! Why didn't she attack before?"

Suddenly, a link back to Dynamic Entry!
