Hold the hell up. So you use a move that does basically nothing 7 or so times, and the last one is so overwhelming, it kills him. That’s basically the end boss of Earthbound for SNES. Is Evil Trout a fan of Earthbound?

Don’t play many RPGs?
That happens in quite a few of them, for some boss somewhere or other in the game . ..
Tvtropes has a page about it, but I can’t remember what category it’s counted under. (RPG’s and videogames aren’t the only place it happens)
