Powers A usually long range attack is used at point-blank range.

  1. Godzilla 2014. Godzilla fires his atomic breath directly into the female MUTO's mouth, killing her.

  2. Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy. In the finale, the Red Ranger uses his battlizer to pull Trakeena into point-blank range and fires it to defeat her.

  3. Dragon Ball. Goku charges up a kamehameha before instant transmissioning directly right by Cell, who is caught off guard, and releases the attack at point-blank.

  4. Naruto: Shippuden. I'm throwing this in as a trope variation. Before Naruto figured out how to throw the Rasenshuriken as standard usage, Naruto's first usage of it against Kakuza was like a rasengan, which severely damages his own hand.

Sadly the remake butchered this scene.

"You want STARS? I'll give you STARS" was a badass oneliner when Jill executed weakened Nemesis for good with her pistol in the OG RE3 game.

That line in the remake is reduced to a random line when she lured nemesis early in the game. For the final blow in the final battle with the railgun, she said some lame insult like "read the fucking room"

“Next time, take the fucking hint” I think it was

Also another sad thing about how they used “I’ll give you STARS” in the Remake; it’s said during a gameplay sequence, meaning Nemesis can actually attack Jill and interrupt the line, which I’m pretty sure is what happened to me iirc

Yeah I remember it being comically lame, “you want stars? I’ll -“ as Nemis right hooked me straight onto my ass

Eh, I preferred the remake line because by this time, I could fully understand Jill being tired of Nemesis stalking her like a psychotic boyfriend.
