History PlayingWith / JustHitHim

* '''Subverted''': Bob tries to get up from getting thrown and then slumps over dead. Looks like Drake did manage to bust him up through throws.

* '''Averted''': Drake doesn't waste time doing throws on Bob but just tackles him for a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* '''Conversed''': "Why do all these {{Giant Mook}}s only know how to throw people around?"

** Drake has MindOverMatter and could easily use it to crush Bob like a can, but only uses it to throw Bob.

%%* '''Deconstructed''': Drake 'harmlessly' throws Bob. Bob, in a panic, lands wrong, breaks his neck and dies much more quickly than he would have if Drake had used punches.
%%* '''Reconstructed''': Bob is trained in break-falling, and Drake is fighting him on soft ground. While Drake's throws would normally do tremendous damage, these two factors allow Bob to mitigate the damage, survive and drag the fight out.
