* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Near the end of the fight, Megabyte presses his advantage by twice [[PunchedAcrosstheRoom kicking a winded and wounded Matrix across]] the Principal Office's roof.



* PunchCatch: Early in the fight, a straddling Matrix impotently wails on a supine Megabyte... before the virus casually catches his fist [[SickeningCrunch and squeezes.]]



** Megabyte later reciprocates ''three times'' in succession: first with an OffhandBackhand that sends Matrix flying, followed by two brutal kicks that send him sprawling to the edge of the Principal Office roof, unconscious.



** Megabyte attempts to do this in response Matrix's speech about how Mainframe will always endure, but Mouse gives him one last double cross.

* WeakButSkilled: Though [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Matrix]] isn't weak by most standards, he's still outmatched by Megabyte in raw strength. Fortunately, [[TheDeterminator he knows]] [[CombatPragmatist how to compensate.]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Credit to Matrix, who instantly pulls his Gun on Megabyte the moment he sees him. When the perennially shit-talking Megabyte [[IShallTauntYou goads him into disarming]] and "fighting like a real Sprite," Matrix complies... before [[SubvertedTrope putting Megabyte on his ass]] [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom with a single punch.]]

* [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone By The Code, What Have I Done?]]: Captain Capacitor asks this when he sends the ''Saucy Mare'' on autopilot and loaded with explosives to destroy Megabyte's air defenses. The explosion destroys the ''Mare'' and sends her sinking into the Energy Sea. [=AndrAIa=] comforts the captain by reminding him that his sacrifice gave the heroes a fighting chance.
