1 | '''Basic Trope''': A rush of wind happens just as something dramatic happens or is about to happen. |
2 | * '''Straight''': TheHero and the BigBad meet each other for the FinalBattle. While they stand perfectly still, mustering each other, a light breeze rustles through their [[BadassLongcoat longcoats]] and unruly hair. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Dramatic wind... [-IN SPACE-]! |
5 | ** TheHero and the BigBad stand perfectly still, studying each other... and then a hurricane blows through, making them shield their faces from the flying dust and debris. One of them may go flying. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': A single leaf flutters through the air. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |
8 | ** Either TheHero, or the BigBad has [[BlowYouAway elemental air powers]]. |
9 | ** Their clothes (ie: BadassCape) were designed from material specifically [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes to flare out behind them at the slightest breeze, or even to them just walking or shifting their weight]]. |
10 | ** The "space wind" that's blowing their hair is actually solar wind, because they're fighting ''near the Sun!'' |
11 | * '''Inverted''': The FinalBattle takes place amidst a heavy storm, however, when TheHero and the BigBad finally face each other, the wind suddenly dies. |
12 | * '''Subverted''': The wind rustles through the leaves, but doesn't reach the two fighters. |
13 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...and then it throws a heap of dry leaves right between them. |
14 | * '''Parodied''': |
15 | ** The wind is so strong, it blows everyone off their feet, killing the "dramatic" part. |
16 | ** The wind is strong enough to lift the skirt/dress of a nearby female character, embarrassing her greatly. |
17 | ** The wind sounds some chimes, which play ShaveAndAHaircut. |
18 | ** The Hero and the Big Bad have clothes that billow even when the wind is calm and no one else's clothes are billowing. |
19 | ** The wind blows a pile of leaves directly into the Hero and the Big Bad's faces. |
20 | * '''Zig Zagged''': |
21 | ** A wind starts to blow, but doesn't reach the fighters. Then said wind blows a pile of leaves between them, but dies right in between them. Then it picks up again, blowing their hair. |
22 | ** Alternately: A wind blows during the first fight between TheHero and a member of the QuirkyMinibossSquad, but doesn't for the next member. Then when TheHero meets the BigBad, a wind starts to blow, but the next time they meet, it doesn't. |
23 | * '''Averted''': The wind always picks up when metereologically appropriate, not when the story demands it. |
24 | * '''Enforced''': The author always thought [[RuleOfCool it looked cool]] to have the wind pick up during a fight. |
25 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Why does a wind always start blowing whenever [[TheHero Bob]] and [[BigBad Mr. Satan]] fight? They aren't even outside, this time!" |
26 | * '''Invoked''': |
27 | ** TheHero's {{Sidekick}} turns on the big electric fan when the FinalBattle begins, just for the sake of special effects. |
28 | ** Alternatively, the hero opens the window. |
29 | * '''Exploited''': The hero holds Feather of Truth which the villain has to have within a minute. Before engaging combat, a Dramatic Wind blows which the hero uses to get rid of the feather easily so it flies away. |
30 | * '''Defied''': The hero wears tight clothing and has short hair so that the light breeze that usually causes dramatic wind effects has no visible effect on him. |
31 | * '''Discussed''': "Why does a wind always start blowing whenever [[TheHero Bob]] and [[BigBad Mr. Satan]] fight? They aren't even outside, this time!" "But it always has to pick up in this type of scene!" |
32 | * '''Conversed''': "It's the unwritten RuleOfCool: Don't start the fight until the wind has disheveled your hair and clothes enough." |
33 | * '''Deconstructed''': The gentle breeze blows the hero's long hair in his face, distracting him long enough for the villain to kill him. |
34 | * '''Reconstructed''': The villain, too, has long hair and so they are evenly matched. |
35 | * '''Played For Laughs''': A character has the wind blowing on him, only for it to stop, much to his surprise and the amusement of a people watching him. |
