I Am Not Left-Handed: Difference between revisions

* [[Turns Red]]

 

 

'''May contain unmarked spoilers.'''

* ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'': After Ray loses a ping-pong match with his father, his father reminds him that "it's a good thing he wasn't using his good hand" and switches his paddle to the other hand.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', "The Freshman". A vampire has busted Buffy's left arm up, and she's spent most of the episode conspicuously not using it and fighting one-handed. Then...

'''BUFFY:''' [[Use Your Head|Let me answer that with a head butt.]] And for the record... The arm is hurt, not broken. *Punches Sunday halfway across the room with her left hand* }}

* Joss Whedon scores a hat trick here; in the pilot of ''[[Firefly]]'', the titular vessel ''Serenity'' is fleeing a Reavers vessel hot on her heels and bearing down upon her - turns out that her thrusters ''rotate all the way round'', allowing her to pull a Crazy Ivan and escape.

* ''[[Ace Combat]] X: Skies of Deception'' has the mission Time Limit, where an unstable neutralising agent forces Gryphus One to fly slowly and with reduced maneuvering. Two Leasath pilots proceed to trash talk about how he's not what [[Shrouded in Myth|the rumours make him out to be]] and stalk him in this near-defenceless state. When Gryphus One finally gets to discard the neutralising agent and dogfight properly, the two are taken aback by his real prowess and don't last long.

* [[Old Master|Oro]] from the [[Street Fighter]] series keeps his arm binded in his gi sleeve [[Badass|so he doesn't accidentally kill his opponents.]]

** Which is an idea that was first implemented in ''[[Sonic X]]'' where he removes the ring to better use the Chaos Emerald's powers, though weakening him in the process. This is noted mainly during the final battle of the ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' [[Story Arc]] of the show when he goes [[Super Mode]] with Sonic and stops the ARK from falling on Earth by removing the rings again to give him enough juice.

* [[Zeno Clash]]'s second [[Handicapped Badass|Hunter]] battle begins with the titular boss keeping one hand behind his back as he fights you. Whittle his health down enough and he brings both arms into play - ''[[Hopeless Boss Fight|and beats the living hell out of you.]]''

* In a cutscene in the [[Final Fantasy VII]] prequel ''[[Crisis Core]]'', Sephiroth and his then-friends Genesis and Angeal are having a 'play fight' on the Junon Cannon. However, when Genesis gets carried away and goes overboard, Sephiroth reveals just how much he was holding back earlier. Cue [[Curb Stomp Battle]], complete with kickass version of [[Crowning Music of Awesome|One-Winged Angel.]]
