History Main / AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter

* In ''Manga/FoodWars'', whatever recipe you've got lined up for your CookingDuel against Subaru Mimasaka, he can make it better than you: his strategy is to study his opponent and copy the dish they're going to make, then add his own improvement to it to win the judges' votes.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma insists on invoking this. Even if the "anything" in question is femininity. Or ludicrous MartialArtsAndCrafts. HilarityEnsues.

* This is the title for one of the [[TropeNamer most memorable songs]] from ''Theatre/AnnieGetYourGun''.

** Sweet Commander [[TheAce Katakuri]] of the Big Mom Pirates doesn't take long to establish himself as this to Luffy: [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower he's faster]] than [[SuperSpeed Gear Second]], [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower his Devil Fruit]] allows him to create fists larger and [[MultiArmedAndDangerous more numerous]] than [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Gear Third]], [[SuperToughness his Armament Haki is stronger]] and [[CombatClairvoyance his Observation Haki allows him to see into the future.]] Luffy has to spend several hours bridging the massive gap between them before he can even scratch Katakuri.
** [[{{Cyborg}} Queen]] of the Beast Pirates ''tries'' to be this to Vinsmoke Judge, boasting that [[AllYourPowersCombined his own cybernetic enhancements have already surpassed those of Judge's children]]; the only problem is that he's boasting of his alleged superiority to Sanji, who [[YoureNotMyFather severed ties with Judge]] about a month prior and couldn't care less for their rivalry (in fact, [[BerserkButton he gets incensed that Queen insists on associating him with the Vinsmoke Family]]).

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', [[TheMagnificent The Great and Powerful Trixie]] is a traveling magician with this as her shtick, i.e. the "Challenge Act". [[{{Kayfabe}} She continues this persona when she's off-stage.]] She's not all that good at it, though, with her "victories" over the ponies who try to outshow her consisting of humiliating said opponents rather than actually one-upping their feats successfully. By the end of the episode, her general incompetence in areas outside of cheap, flashy tricks and [[SmallNameBigEgo building up her own reputation]] is [[LaserGuidedKarma laid bare for all to see]]. When she returns seeking vengeance on Twilight for "humiliating [her]" (despite [[HoistByHisOwnPetard being the one responsible for her own troubles]]), she challenges her to a magic duel that works in this fashion. Having a magical AmplifierArtifact gave her a serious leg up in doing so, but Twilight still out-did Trixie by using the "Sixth Magic", i.e. ThePowerOfFriendship to perform Trixie's kind of stage magic.
