History GroinAttack / VideoGames

** For her critical hit animation in ''VideoGame/Persona3'', [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask Mitsuru]] delivers a [[BladeSpam rapid series of blows]] before finishing with a groin kick that knocks the target over.

*** Freddy's ''Welcome to my Nightmare'' Fatality was probably meant to target the stomach area in design, [[https://i.imgur.com/XgHkrnr.jpg but shown here on Jade, he just brutally impales her womanhood with his claws]]

* In ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'', there aren't any true dedicated low blow attacks like there are in other fighting games, but certain attacks will result in a low blow depending on positioning. [[https://media0.giphy.com/media/L0Ygdj4YJ5CJmcYm0q/giphy.gif Like [=NiCO=] being brutally and repeatedly punched in her girl parts with only her panties as any kind of protection.]] Ouch.

* In ''VideoGame/KiosAdventure'', one of the many violent death scenarios has one. Kio gets impaled by a bunch of spikes, with one going ''right'' through her panties and privates. [[FanDisservice And the camera's main focus is on her impaled girl parts.]]

** Also occurs during the fight against Bad Girl: if she overwhelms Travis at close range (with her bat and his saber crossed), she'll kick him in the balls. Given that she uses spiked stilettos, he takes a moment to recover.

* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', if Bad Girl overwhelms Travis at close range (with her bat and his saber crossed), she'll kick him in the balls. Given that she uses spiked stilettos, he takes a moment to recover.

* VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution: one of the lethal takedowns looks like it really hurts. Well, actually, they all hurt, but this is the worst.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', this comes up during the infiltration Don Corneo's mansion shortly into the game. Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa threaten Corneo with increasingly more painful ways of removing "them" until he caves and spills the beans on Shinra's plot.

* Happens twice in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|AbsenceOfJustice}}'', with Almaz as the unfortunate target in both times. This is because the [[TheChewToy universe apparently hates him]].
** Etna tells Flonne about an incident where she kicked a guy in the groin in chapter 5 of the first game.

* There is a fan-made (Japanese) game that consists entirely of Yuffie of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' fame going around kicking guys in the crotch. It is called "Yuffie the Hunting: Testis Crush!!"

* One skit in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 5}}'' has Red Magnus challenging Seraphina, Usalia and Christo for the sake of toughening all four of them up. When he orders them to attack, he manages to endure Sera's gunfire... only to go down when Usalia repeatedly hammers the jewels.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', this comes up during the infiltration Don Corneo's mansion shortly into the game. Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa threaten Corneo with increasingly more painful ways of removing "them" until he caves and spills the beans on Shinra's plot.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'': In addition to the scene with Don Corneo, Aerith kicks Corneo's mook Scotch in the groin, making him whimper in pain right before Tifa knocks him out.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' - after the mission to Mt. Gagazet, the party returns to find Brother lying in pain on the floor of the deck of the ''Celsius'' airship, injured after having jumped ship because he thought Yuna was in danger. If you choose the option to comfort it, Yuna thanks him and tells him not to strain himself, but he says that "a leader must be tough" and tries to pull Yuna, who he has a notorious crush on, in for a kiss. Rikku runs up, kicks him in the groin and calls him a "sicko," leaving him moaning on the floor again.

* [[VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic Star Wars: The Old Republic]]: An ability picked up from level progression for the Smuggler class if appropriately named, "Dirty Kick", dealing a significant amount of damage and stunning the target for about 4 seconds. Usually, the animation of a smuggler kicking an enemy's nads apply to sentient targets, but there have been times the animation is shown to be the same one of the ability used on mechanical enemies, which is similar to a trip.

* In the web game "[[VideoGame/{{Pico}} Pico's School]]" on Newgrounds, you have to do this to Casandra's monster form in the final battle in order to damage it.

** Behold: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZp0w42Zlkk The trailer]] for ''Saint's Row'' 3.

*** Sadly, ''Saints Row IV'' no longer allows you to do the weapon-specific groin attacks while you have super powers. The tradeoff is that now a single punch or kick to the crotch will send an enemy flying through the air.

* Before she became well-known in ''VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum'', Kisarah Westfield, who came from an old ADK fighting/beat-'em up game called ''Aggressors of Dark Kombat'', had two nasty groin-bruising attacks from within her fighting arsenal in AODK. Her first attack is an inverted atomic drop, in which she lifts her opponent up into the air before bringing them back down so that her right knee can strike their...sensitive place. Her second attack is a back mule kick and that she usually initiates it if an opponent tries to grab her from behind. Either way, both attacks hurt real bad and that they easily represent Kisarah's personality in being a tomboy.

** Not a case of being intended by the developer (one would suppose, at least) but if you go to any gaming forums and ask how to beat Chun Li's defensive helicopter kick (her EX Spinning Bird Kick, or EX SBK for short) when you jump at her in Street Fighter 4, the usual advice is to time and space your jump so that you aim a downward attack specifically at her vagina. Since she's spinning upside down with her legs spread out, an off-center attack is likely to be intercepted by her legs, but a centered attack will hit her unprotected tender bits and disrupt the move. Like-wise, while less frequently discussed, this is also a common advice for how to beat her spread eagle jumping kick. In this move Chun Li jumps vertically and she spreads her legs in a full split to kick both directions. The move has a hefty hitbox to the sides, so the instructed way to beat it is to get under her and hit her directly from below with a move aimed at her groin.

** Ken Masters gets one of these in one of his endings... [[spoiler:More specifically, the III one -- and he got it courtesy of his five-year-old son Mel. And boy, did poor Eliza freak out when she saw this.]]

* In an April Fool's League of Legends Special, [[https://youtu.be/E6CRamuAkXc?t=40 Master Yi gets distracted by Katarina's cleavage. Katarina, furious that Master Yi won't stop staring at her, walks up and delivers every woman's most feared ultimate on his balls, instantly downing him]]

* Probably unintentionally hilarious, but one of the attacks Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' uses in the DLC lost episode chapter against [[spoiler: [[{{Crossover}} Evil]] [[StreetFighter Ryu]]]] is a grapple move that looks like the [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Kinniku Buster]] that ends with Asura's Knee in [[spoiler: Evil Ryu]]'s groin.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW-1HhpCryU This boss]] from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''. It's a robot, but still...

*** In the quest "What Little We Know", if you choose to exonerate Troike for supposedly murdering a prostitute, you have to find a tape revealing that he was set up by the Omertas. On it, he's mentioned to have been so strung out on a spiked supply of Jet that they "could have stabbed him in the balls and he wouldn't have said daisy".

* In ''VideoGame/CrashMindOverMutant''s intro, Crash stalks a Grimly and proceeds to "scare" him by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZEW5bvkUiQ&t=51s kicking him as hard as he can in the balls]]. Crash, of course, finds this incredibly hilarious. Ironic, considering Grimly wanted to scare Crash as well. Who knew ghosts had those between their legs?

* In Crash Mind Over Mutant's intro, Crash stalks a Grimly and proceeds to "scare" him by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZEW5bvkUiQ&t=51s kicking him as hard as he can in the balls]]. Crash, of course, finds this incredibly hilarious. Ironic, considering Grimly wanted to scare Crash as well. Who knew ghosts had those between their legs?

** This move actually serves a useful purpose, as a CriticalHit on the groin almost always bypasses armor, deal significant bonus damage, and have a good chance of rendering the victim unconscious.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'' an execution involves ripping off a mook's testicles with a sickle. UpToEleven in the sequel where it keeps this and will make any man squeamish with a few more genital torture including slicing the groin with a shovel, yanking it off with a pair of pliers and sawing through it with a length of barbed wire. Though it pops up as an [[AmusingInjuries Amusing Injury]] [[MoodWhiplash before the player stabs their neck with a syringe violently]].

* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'': In the final chapter, Joel takes this trope UpToEleven by actually shooting a Firefly soldier in the testes. ''Twice''.

* In ''VideoGame/KiosAdventure'', one of the many violent death scenarios has one. Kio gets impaled by a bunch of spikes, with one going ''right'' through her [[PantyShot panties]] and privates. [[FanDisservice And the camera's main focus is on her impaled girl parts.]]

*** There are also other characters who deliver {{Groin Attack}}s in ''9'', so it's not just restricted to Cage this time. [[spoiler:Smoke's death in Story Mode even is preceded by one, which is quite possibly one of the lousiest ways to go out]].

** In the same intro, after the intro ends and everyone leaves, [[https://youtu.be/HZEW5bvkUiQ?t=109 it cuts back to the poor, recently nut-shotted Grimly, holding his balls in pain, unable to walk and whimpering in pain]]. Quite the kick!

* In Crash Mind Over Mutant's intro, Crash stalks a Grimly and scares him by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZEW5bvkUiQ&t=51s kicking him as hard as he can in the balls]]. Crash, of course, finds this incredibly hilarious. Ironic, considering Grimly wanted to scare Crash at the same time. Who thought ghosts had those between their legs?

* The UrExample of this trope is ''VideoGame/YieArKungFu'', one of the first ever {{Fighting Game}}s, from 1985. It is possible to strike opponents in the groin, with one character, Buchu, reacting to it with a unique animation. When he gets hit in the crotch, his eyes bug out and the game says "Nǐ hǎo!" (which is Mandarin Chinese for "hi" or "hello") with a heavy emphasis on the first syllable much like someone might go, "HELL-o!" on encountring something surprising.

** Berserker Jeanne d'Arc Alter kicks her opponents in the groin as one of her attacks.
