History PlayingWith / CutscenePowerToTheMax

* '''Downplayed''': Dan always uses spells or skills about 5 levels too high for the average player to be at by that cutscene

** Dan can shrug off massives ammounts of physical punishment with ease in gameplay ([[CriticalExistenceFailure as long as it doesn't completely drain his hitpoints]]), but when he gets a TapOnTheHead in a cutscene it knocks him out instantly.

** Dan has to keep his rare and dangerous power of telekinesis, which would make him a target for all sorts of villains, hence he only uses it when he has no other choice, and those situations only ever come up in cutscenes.

* '''Discussed''': "Whoa, that was ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome totally awesome]]''! Do that again!" "Sorry, but I seem to be unable to".

* '''Conversed''': "Oh great, they're at it again. They're always omnipotent in cutscenes, but suddenly lose their god-likeness when it comes to gameplay. So damn {{egregious}}".

* '''Defied''': Dan doesn't use any ability in cutscenes that he couldn't already use elsewhere, and he points out that no, he can't suddenly pull massive amount of power and competence from nowhere.

* '''Deconstructed''': Dan enjoys the raw power that he can use, and begins to seek out more opportunities to wield it. After growing dependent on these bursts, he slowly loses the ability to fight normally, and is eventually taken down by a move that he knowingly parried a thousand times. After this defeat, even his bursts of power start to drop in efficiency as well.
* '''Reconstructed''': Dan is inspired by the outpour of power he just felt, and now trains to be as strong as that time whenever he needs to be, in order to avoid becoming dependent on a randomly-occuring force.

* '''Lampshaded''': "You just wait for when fighting stops and talking starts."
