You're fighting your opponent in armed combat, and you lay a finishing move across his neck with your Absurdly Sharp Blade. The announcer declares your victory: "Knockout!" -- Wait, what? A character in a fighting game is not "dead"; he's just... unconscious... even though you've been hitting him with a sword for 30 seconds... and broken both his arms... and impaled him on your blade before kicking him off at least twice. For that matter, why are you still alive, after being whacked in the head with his axe a few times? It seems all that stuff saying you should Never Bring a Knife to A Fist Fight was complete baloney. (Well, except for the not dying part.)
