** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'', one of the main bosses that you fight can copy your every special move. However, he will ''always'' use whatever power you used on him last and can only copy them at their base power level, so he is easily beaten by using either an easily avoided attack or one that's useless without upgrades, allowing you to kick his ass with little effort. If you aren't paying attention and don't realize this, he's a ''lot'' harder - his default attack is a pain.
