One way for a character to deliver a severe beatdown on an opponent is to pick said opponent up (usually by the feet) and slam him left-right-left-right overhead into the ground. It's generally an indication that either the character doing the slamming is [[SuperStrength very strong]], or [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry very angry]]. This can be played for even greater effect if the character doing the slamming is either very small or, in normal circumstances, shouldn't have that kind of strength at all.

* In ''[[SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Samus can do this with her up grapple attack.
