Dynamic Entry/Playing With

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


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:

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

  • 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?"
