Estil | 1,264 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 In SMB, if you do that as small Mario hitting Bowser and the ax (until YEARS after the start of the Internet era I had no clue what that flashing thing behind Bowser was) it counts as completing the level...but not only does Mario do his eh, death thing and play the eh, death music...he leaps away from Bowser falling off the screen and then repeats the death music (I'm probably not saying all that right)...I always thought that was quite amusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuNKeY | 241 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Rockman/Megaman series counts it as a loss. Had many a time taking out a boss and die a the same time when I was learning (relearning patterns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone3969 | 304 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I believe the Souls games count it as a win. I am playing Dark Souls 3 right now. It happens when you beat a human controlled invader and die as well. You get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always respawn at a bonfire, with only smaller enemies coming back, completely the same as when you just go there to rest. Anything permanent (open doors, picked up items, dead bosses) are retained indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieTom | 39 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Captain America and the Avengers (Gen) counts as a loss and you do it again. I popped it in not too long ago and on my final life... simultaneous death/kill and a big fat GAME OVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuriatsu | 65 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I generally call that type of a situation as a "sacrifice" Unfortunately, while I've experienced it many times over the years I've been playing games, I don't have a particular example to give that hasn't been given(journey to silius, dark souls, megaman, etc) Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonMan Abrams X | 697 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 This thread makes me think of my days playing Final Fantasy XI Online retail proper (I still play on a Classic Era recreation Private server sometimes when on a nostalgia kick) Being the tank (a Paladin) was generally the guy who was going to die first when things went south... which would usually result in a wipe, but not always. Fun story though, over the several years I player on retail, every single big mission/quest/endgame finale fight, I was always dead by the end for one reason or another. In particular the Chains of Promathia expansion We had killed the boss, and while the battle was winding down; a random last second Comet cast dropped and wiped me out as the cutscene resolved, so then I ported back outside the arena, dead. Somewhere I still have a screencap of my fellow party members dancing upon my character's dead body lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a win on my part. Then today when I was playing, the same thing happened with Heat Man, it was also counted as a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also done a similar trick in Mega Man 4 with Ring Man, but in that game it doesn't count: Shown at 1:40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagusSmurf | 577 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 My favorite one was when I bumped off all 4 Reznor in Super Mario World and then jumped in the air because I felt like it and then the game took away my controls and because the level design doesn’t fully fade out until slightly after that Mario fell in the lava and died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Mega Man 1 counts as a loss if you get hit after the fact. Dracula X, most of the bosses have last effort attacks that take chip damage once you've drained their health bar... super cheap. Also, Final Fantasy VI (3), one of the bosses uses Ultima(?) taking 9999 from every character, so you gotta use Life3 for self revive. I know that's not really the topic, but the conversation strayed this way Edited September 11, 2021 by Andy_Bogomil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these can actually kill you though, but taking damage will rob you of the 1up bonus for killing a boss without getting hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I've died a few times to those last effort attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
