Awesome / South Park: The Stick of Truth

• The Player Character's higher-tier class skills include:
  • Fighter: the Ground Pound, which ends with a Three-Point Landing for good measure.
  • Mage: the Funnel of Frost, which is a fire extinguisher that can strip away beneficial buffs and freezes people if done perfectly (can also be upgraded to cause MORE damage the more buffs stripped), and the Pyre Ball, which is a dangerously large fireworks rocket strapped with four smaller, dangerously powerful firecrackers. Provided the enemies aren't affected by any status effects that change their animation, they run around screaming and panicking. Essentially, it's the 4th grader's version of a nuclear bomb.
    • Bonus points in how casual the player looks while he's lighting it up, and the oh so satisfying click of the lighter.
  • Thief: "Execute", which has you leaping into the air and raining kunai down on your target before crushing them with a flail the size of your oversized head, and "Death of a thousand cuts", which summons a squad of ninja to Teleport Spam and cut your target to ribbons.
  • Jew: you can literally summon the "Plagues of Egypt", which damage foes and give them a variety of nasty status effects.
• The same goes for the buddies' abilities:
  • Cartman: you get to use the curse-powered THUNDERBOLT from the movie.
  • Kyle: You select Rain of Arrows... and it immediately cuts to a massive army of Kyle's elves. Cue prickly death. Unless you botch the button prompt.
  • Stan: What could be the swordsman's final attack? Naturally, none other than The Omnislash.
  • Princess Kenny: She can summon both an army of mice and a unicorn. Whether or not you do them correctly (failure results in Princess Kenny's death, naturally), they make clear that they are not cutesy sissies. Especially the enormous horse with the dangerous horn.
  • Butters: Butters transforms into his Superpowered Evil Side Professor Chaos, who spins a wheel that consists of 4 effects, each of which are useful.
    Professor Chaos: Let's see how you like dealing with me!
  • Jimmy: His Brown Note from his boss fight… except instead of his flute, he uses a horn so massive it has to be hoisted onto a mountain's ski slope. It's so loud and powerful it makes enemies shit blood.
• At the end of the second day, you have to choose to choose between Cartman or Kyle. Depending of you choice, you will have a duel boss fight against either of them. At the end of the duel, you will have a Fart O War between either of them (Cartman using a fiery fart, while Kyle makes do with a leafblower).
  • It then turns out that Clyde has manipulated both sides of the fight to take the Stick of Truth for himself and the only thing that stops the heroes from taking him out then and there is that it's late and the kids all need to go home before they're grounded.
• After the fight against the Pedophile Photographer, he's lying collapsed on the floor, in a broken, bloody heap. It's unique to him as no other enemy in the game gets the same treatment.
  • If you're playing the Jew class, there are very few things more satisfying than punishing the pedophile with the Circum-scythe special!
• Just before the final boss fight is the battle with Nazi Zombie Chef. Not only does Chef come back after being Killed Off for Real, but the boys actually snap him out of his Brainwashed and Crazy state - if only long enough for Clyde to light him on fire, and have him try to burn the rest of the boys alive.
  • And immediately afterwards, after the New Kid Mercy Kills Chef, Cartman makes Clyde pay for his Face–Heel Turn, by knocking him clean off his tower of evil in a Meaningful Echo to when Cartman banished him the first time.
  Cartman: "You have broken the rules of the Stick, and for that, I banish thee. I banish thee... FROM SPACE AND TIME!!!!!"
• The final boss fight with Princess Kenny. After taking out his first form, he drinks the green goo, thus becoming Nazi Zombie Princess Kenny. At this point, she uses certain extremely powerful attacks depending on who's your buddy at the time. If you do the Quick-Time Event right, your buddy counters the attack with extreme prejudice.
  • When Kyle is out, Princess Kenny attempts to drink more of the nazi zombie goo in order to power up. One solid kick of Ike is enough to force her to drop it.
  • When Jimmy is up to bat, Princess Kenny summons a Swarm of Nazi Zombie Rats to tear the heroes apart. In response, Jimmy lures them away with a jaunty tune.
  • When Stan's in the battle, Princess Kenny summons a Nazi Zombie Unicorn to rush down him and the New Kid. Stan retaliates by cutting its head off, with his dog Sparky dragging it away.
  • If Butters is your buddy, Princess Kenny summons Death himself as a Nazi Zombie, with Big Bad Government Guy telling the New Kid to pray for a miracle. Butters seemingly makes a break for it… only to return as Professor Chaos, who ends up blasting away Death, but not before making a hell of a Badass Boast.
    Professor Chaos: Foolish Princess Kenny! Do you not know that Death is a servant of chaos?!
  • Even after all that, Princess Kenny keeps raising from the dead, thus making Cartman hold Kenny so you can fart in her balls.
• The Mage's "Dust of Dreams" attack, which involves throwing "magical sleeping powder" (sand) in an enemy's face, then punching them out while they're blinded. It's also quite possibly the class's most powerful single target attack, barring weakness to fire, which means that even if the enemy is immune to stun, it will take out quite a large chunk of their health anyway.
  • "Dragon's Breath" is incredibly powerful with the right equipment, too. Given its multi-hit, armour melting upgrades, it can be used free, with bonus PP, and bring your health back up to full, all in one turn, while destroying the enemies shields, a good chunk of their health, and, if performed perfectly, will set them on fire, causing a DoT. Combine with a Magic attack like Dragonshout to cause even MORE massive damage, and stun them, to boot. It's also really, really funny to watch them scream and panic.
• When you summon Jesus Christ himself.
• There's nothing quite like clearing out an entire room with nothing but environmental hazards.
• While New Kid's parents are having sex in the background, you end up fighting the gnomish warlock. During said fight, there's a quick time event that involves dodging your dad's balls. How does New Kid dodge it? With an uber badass backflip dodge.
• After years of taking crap and being beaten up by his sister, both the player and Stan can finally get some payback and beat the ever loving shit out of Shelly. And yes, it is as sweet as it sounds.
  • Bonus points if you don't just immediately slay Shelly with a summon (she's not considered a boss, even though she's incredibly tanky and has REALLY good attacks) and get the last strike as Stan.
  • Even better, after the New Kid defeats Shelly, while she starts off being clearly pissed off and frustrated about losing, once the New Kid returns to her after the fight, he'll find Shelly has cooled off and she admits to the New Kid he's earned her respect:
  Shelly: You're still a turd, but at least you don't hit like a girl.
• Infiltrating Clyde's Fortress towards the end of the game. Sure, the whole thing is only a treehouse in the guy's backyard, but storming into it with your Badass Army and knocking out everyone in sight with environmental hazards or allowing teammates inside to attack for you makes it impossibly epic.
