Your biggest Badass Flop(s).

[Exius Xavarus]

You know Badass Flops. Those times you do something incredibly badass but then all the sudden things take a major turn for the worse. I have two to share, both oddly from Dragon's Dogma.

Here I am playing my Mystic Knight, I'm fighting the dragon. The dragon swoops down and I manage to jump and catch hold of it while it's swooping down at me. That takes incredible timing to perform and felt awesome. Badass Moment #1. The flop? Once you latch on, the dragon flies high into the sky(high enough for the fall to be fatal) and stays there until either you fall off, or you hit the dragon enough to force a landing. Unfortunately for me, I didn't latch onto his heart. I managed to catch his claw. So I thought I'd go for Badass Moment #2 and leap off his claw and to his heart. I got close. I hit and forced a landing. Problem is I ran out of stamina literally as I struck and I fell off, plummeting to my death alongside the dragon. Moral of the story? Make sure you have plenty of Stamina Curatives or you'll wind up like me.

Next up: Arch Hydra. Being a Mystic Knight, I made sure to give myself a fire enchantment before scaling this beast. The heads were close enough that I managed to cut off two heads at the same time. That's right, two heads. Badass Moment if ever I saw one. The flop? I got off as the heads were cut and to my surprise, apparently it's deadly to head a Hydra's head fall on top of you. I wasn't aware that could happen but the Hydra squashed me with its head just as I landed. Talk about revenge kills, right?

So, my friends, what Badass Flops have you done recently? Or not so recently.

Once on a gmod server, someone was trying to steal my boat. I sprinted and did the most cinematic leap ever on to it and all I could do was start shooting. It exploded, we both die and the boat explodes

I'm armed akimbo with two pistols, ready to deliver the payne. I shootdodge into the room, and all is swell until I'm stopped by an inconveniently placed desk. I died.

Basically the whole of DMC3. Super badass Dante gets lamped by a bog standard demon and dies. At least losing to Vergil is legit.

Hell, I found the first Vergil boss fight easier than a few of the encounters, then again I guess you fight him a few more times over the course of the game so he'll probably get harder.

I now know why everything Vergil does in UMVC3 is ridiculously unsafe. It's carried over from DMC3 itself. He does SO MUCH DAMAGE but you can dodge all of it then Stinger his face. They kept all the original sound effects for his moves in UMVC3 I noticed, that's really cool.

Had snuck into an enemy outpost in Far Cry 3, planted C4 around the place and intentionally triggered the alarm. Waited for the re-enforcements to enter the compound and initiated the devices. The Idea was to take out the whole mob with one det but I had forgotten the placement of one of the devices and it as on top of the barrel that I was hiding behind.
They all died, but do did I.

Another time I was swimming into a compound for a sneak attack, I was attacked by a shark and so fled onto the beach, was instantly spotted, started firing wildly to keep them off me until I could get to cover, hit a cage and was savaged to death by released animals (I forget if it was a bear or a tiger)

Oh man.
You're not along brother. The amount of sneak attacks that have been ruined by a passing tiger is beyond belief.

Halo 2, racing the Scarab thinking "oh I am totally not going to wait for it to get to the end, nope I am going to hop on this ghost and jump onto this thing an annihilate everyone, amazing..." Then I go to do it and there seems to be some force field around the thing that just makes you slide off...not so amazing.

Dark souls, ambush invader with a massive sword that floors him, roll over him whilst he was floored and went off the edge of the map. Had a good joke with him about my crappy ambush technique after...

Well I was playing S&D on MW2 once and it was down to 1v3. I managed to sneak up behind them and spray two of them in the back with my ACR but completely choked on a stationary target and missed about half a clip from close range while he just casually scoped in and sniped me.
There was also this time where I was playing Halo 3 and was driving a mongoose. I decided to charge head on into an enemy tank who just missed me, the explosion caused me to just clear the tank which looked awesome, I even landed the jump. Sadly my Mr. Newton decided to completely make up some bogus law causing me to fly straight through a teammate and off a cliff because I couldn't stop moving.

A few days ago on Battlefield 3 I won a dogfight 1v 2 and took out a transport chopper as I pulled out of the exit manoeuvre. I celebrated my victory with a loop followed by a barrel roll - straight into a crane.

Playing Left 4 Dead, my 3 friends had all just died to a horde, and I barely survived, killing a Boomer without getting puked on, and only just getting out of a smoker grab in time. My friends had just spawned back in a cupboard, but before going to help them out, I decided to do a victory dance.

"Ohh I am awesome, I am untouchable, you can't kill me!" I was saying. Followed by "Oh Shit... Hunter."

Midway through my victory dance a hunter landed on me and took me out, we had to start the whole chapter again.

Many times on LoL where I have done ONE THING WRONG! and then it costs us the match. It's SOOOO frustrating.

"Oh I think they are near baron I'll just in this bu-" - Rookie as he was slain by a bush camping enemy team.

I gotta stick with the team -.-

Dragons Dogma is known for this it seems. I grabbed onto an Ogre in the area underneath Gran Soren thinking I can do some damage....then the fucker jumps off to both of our deaths with me on him.

That's happened to me many, many times. But with a Cyclops. I actually take advantage of the Ogre's habit of jumping onto its back by forcing it to do so with its back to a cliff. Hop off while it's jumping and I sit back watching the moron leap off the ledge to its doom! Although sometimes I don't jump off in time and I end up having to go with it because I can't get back to the ledge. :{

I also made a Cyclops take its helmet off trying to catch me, but my Sorceress(God I love her, kills anything and everything in seconds) stunned it with lightning spells and the party made it fall to its knees. While it's standing in front of a cliff(I was fighting the Cyclops that's in front of the gate full of the Woman Bandits). I was still attacking its head, not paying attention. And when it dropped to its knees it took a tumble off the ledge and I went with it. :{ Although that one was a little less of my fault, because the Cyclops' animation changes when it falls over a ledge and I was repositioned as it fell and when I jumped off trying to get back onto land, I ended up jumping off away from the ledge. So I got kinda boned on that one.

I'm playing Tekken 6 and I'm facing a King player. King is a wrestler so he relies a lot on throws. I manage to break most of the throws he attempted on me....and I still lost.

I was playing VS. on L4D2 and everyone was getting slaughtered, so I ran and made it to the safe house while the other team was distracted by my teammates. Everyone starts yelling at me to leave my secured victory to come save them. I waited for like a minute, and one guy gets really close and goes down, the other two are dead. So since he's yelling at me SO FUCKING MUCH. I get out and start to get him and then die. Guess who got chewed out, cussed at, then kicked? Yeah, me.

Saints Row the third:

Was playing with a friend doing one of those spontaneous missions where you hold off an area. I had the upgrade that gives me infinite explosives so naturally I was using satchel charges exclusively, making sick chain reactions. That was until one of the splodes pissed off Oleg who decided to charge me and run me over. Dead.

Far Cry 3

I was using my Z-93 to spot out enemies in an outpost below. I notice a tiger cage located within the outpost, and naturally I release it by shooting the lock. The tiger runs wild, killing everyone in the outpost for me. +1,500XP, undetected and no alarms raised, woo!

After the flag is hoisted up and the warriors come to occupy the camp, I run into the camp to go into the fast-travel room. However, I forgot the tiger was still alive and it pounced on me. It took down enough of my health that as soon as the quick time mash-fest ended, it clawed me once and killed me.

The irony :c
