History WouldHitAGirl / VideoGames

** Sonic himself gets into fights with various female characters. He's fully willing to engage in a fight against Blaze in ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}} when Blaze picks one with him. He fought Amy, Cream, and Rouge in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. ''And in ''Sonic and the Black Knight'', he also had no compunctions about attacking [[spoiler:Merlina when she revealed her plans as the Dark Queen.]]

* Played with in ''{{Sonic Adventure|Series}} 2''. Knuckles has no problem attacking a woman if she threatens the Chaos Emeralds. Following Knuckles' battle with Rouge, she shames him for [[HypocriticalHumour attacking a lady]]. However, [[spoiler:she slips and almost falls into a vat of lava, from which he rescues her and {{apolog|eticAttacker}}ises - reluctantly - for hurting her]].
** Of course Rouge had been attacking him just as much, so it might qualify for a case of self-defense. Not to mention [[spoiler: he apologized to Rouge, ''after'' she gave Knuckles back his Master Emerald pieces to thank him for saving her, even if she doesn't openly admit it.]]

* In VisualNovel/AceAttorney, [[spoiler:Godot]] would ''absolutely'' hit a girl. [[spoiler:Or stab, whatever.]]

* Like in other examples listed above, the VideoGame/SaintsRow games starting with the [[VideoGame/SaintsRow2 second one]] allow you to opt to make your player character a female. The player character's gender does not affect any interactions towards them at all, as their various enemies can and will deliver [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No-Holds-Barred Beatdowns]] onto them.

* Gene has no problem hitting the female villains in ''VideoGame/GodHand'', such as Shannon, and his super-move he can use to finish them is [[KinkySpanking to spank them]]. (Of course, [[TooKinkyToTorture Shannon might actually]] [[TooKinkyToTorture ''like'']] [[TooKinkyToTorture that...]])

** Of course, this is also the case with all male characters in ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''Franchise/{{Darkstalkers}}'', ''Franchise/{{SoulSeries}}'', ''Franchise/KillerInstinct'', ''Franchise/SamuraiShowdown''... Well, Fighting Games in general, to tell the truth. Unless you get rid of female fighters completely when you design one, this Trope is pretty hard to avoid.

* All ''MortalKombat'' characters.
** Hell a lot of the Kombatants are women so it helps your case when the women are just as willing to kill you as the men. Maybe.

* ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'': Alice should be so lucky; not only is every villain in the game willing to hit her, kill her, (eat her in some cases), but they do it with sadistic glee. The WouldHurtAChild Trope applies to them all too (not only towards her, but towards the Insane Children, [[VideoGame/AliceTheMadnessReturns even more so in the sequel]]. Even worse, [[spoiler:the main villain of the sequel is a pedophile and child molester. Chivalry doesn't exist in this game.]]

* ''{{Postal}}'' gives the player the ability to kill ''anybody''.

* ''TalesOfMonkeyIsland'': [[spoiler:Near the end of Chapter 5, [=LeChuck=] strikes Elaine for trying to protect her undead husband Guybrush. Note that Elaine is the woman whose hand in marriage [=LeChuck=]'s sought for over a decade. It's mysterious how he expected her to accept him after that, but then again it's pretty mysterious how he ever expected her to fall for an evil undead criminal with a long history of attempting to kidnap her and force her into marriage.]]

* ''ThrillKill'': Mammoth not only has to beat both genders of people to death in the game to get out of hell, but, in a fit of [[UnstoppableRage beastly aggression]] once back on Earth, grabs a little old lady from the street and [[spoiler: relentlessly shoves and pounds away at her body until she is completely inside a postbox.]]

* ''AlphaProtocol'': although most of the enemies in the game are male or, if female, are soldiers/fighters, there is an option during an early mission where the player can choose to perform a stealth knockout (with punching) or even a stealth kill on a pair of innocent female bystanders (dancers on a yacht).

* When Yuri and Judith are captured and imprisoned in Ghasforast in ''TalesOfVesperia'', they decide to distract the guards by beating each other up. They actually seem to be having a whale of a time. Seeing as they're both [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]], this isn't surprising. Meanwhile when the party fight [[spoiler: Schwann]] at Baction, he shows a certain reluctance to fight a 'lovely lady' like Judith, but this is probably more a hint that [[spoiler: Raven's still in there somewhere]], because he shows no reluctance about hitting Rita (though to be fair, she's [[{{tsundere}} always hitting people undeservedly]]) and Karol, a male child. The main villain also has no problem with capturing, torturing and brainwashing a female character.

* [[{{RatchetAndClank}} Ratchet]] has no trouble with fighting the [[{{VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002}} Alien Queen]], [[{{RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal}} the Momma Tyhrranoid]], [[{{RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal}} Courtney Gears]] or [[{{RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime}} Cassiopeia]]. There is also [[spoiler:[[{{RatchetAndClankGoingCommando}} Angela Cross]]]], but he [[{{SamusIsAGirl}} didn't know about her gender at the time]].

* Both the Shai-Gen and the Volk in ''{{Crackdown}}'' have female {{Mooks}}, as well as female [[EliteMook Generals]], and the Agent wastes them as easily as the men.

* Each game in the ''SlyCooper'' series has a female villain who is required to be fought to advance the story. In fact, the BigBad for the second game is [[spoiler: Neyla]], who is fought twice in the game; by the end, she has even become [[spoiler: an [[{{CompleteMonster}} immortal beast]] who runs on [[{{ThePowerOfHate}} hatred]]]].

* Batman in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' is entirely willing to hit his female opponents, who to be fair are trying to kill him. Notably however, his finishing moves on them do not include breaking bones, unlike his male opponents.

* In ''Franchise/MassEffect'', Shepard -- regardless of gender -- has a Renegade option to punch a female reporter who has been asking him/her trick questions aimed to either ruin his/her reputation, or to estrange humanity from alien species. As the reporter in question was exceedingly punch-worthy for reasons unrelated to her gender, the punch is often considered a CrowningMomentOfAwesome and the option was even repeated in the second game (for record, she dodges. Then Shepard ''headbutts'' her). [[RunningGag And the third]], though if Shepard plays nice in the third game [[spoiler: she or he gets to enjoy a one night stand with the adorkable reporter.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Half-life}}'' can turn into this with arrival of Black Ops. Due to their speed, damage, accuracy and general difficulty of their fights, they act like BerserkButton for some players, prompting them to use the most brutal methods, like gibbing with grenade launcher or crowbaring.
