* In ''VideoGame/ConquerorsBlade'', the Shortsword-and-Shield hero class has an ultimate move called Thunderstruck. Your character leaps into the air and slam his shield down on the ground, producing a [[ShockwaveStomp shockwave]] that sends enemies flying outward.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/TaiFuWrathOfTheTiger'': The Leaping Slam Fist of the Leopard Style evokes this, combining it with the blast-wave from a ShockWaveStomp for good measure.

* Once his superhuman melee skills are upgraded, Gideon Wyeth of ''VideoGame/AdventRising'' can perform a Seismic Pound.
* Various ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' protagonists can do this, usually after getting the double jump ability. With the right timing, a mid-air "stomp" can sometimes get you up to platforms you [[SequenceBreaking shouldn't be able to reach yet]]. Soma in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' only gets this ability from an enemy (usually it is inherent with double jumping), and in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'', the damage the drop kick does depends on how long you fall for. So get the Medusa Soul and drop kick, then float in the air for ages using the soul, then let him drop for high damage. It's not always useful, but it's cool as hell. It's not entirely a ground pound though, as you can use it to bounce off enemies and even chandeliers and candles.

* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'': Soul Master uses the Desolate Dive skill during his fight, teleporting above the knight before slamming into the ground and causing a shockwave. After defeating, the knight gains the same ability (but without the teleportation), allowing the player to spend a charge of Soul to plunge downward in a charge that causes signficant damage to any enemy in their way and smashes through breakable floors. This can later be upgrade to a stronger version, the Descending Dark.



* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' - This is exactly what the maneuver is called.

*** In the minigame Pop Star, three characters have to fill up a balloon with as much air as possible until it explodes, and do so by repeatedly pounding the pumps they stand on. The solo player has the same objective, but relies on DropTheHammer instead.
