I'm seeing a lot of examples, particularly under the Video Games section, of characters kicking opponents when they're down, not stopping when the opponent's been defeated, and just plain being brutal and/or a jerk. Some examples, I found near the top:

** That's not even going into his Drill super, which revolves around brutalizing the opponent as much as possible while they can't fight back. In one variant, ''he pulls out his knife and stabs them several dozen times.''
* ** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Ragna The Bloodedge]] can pull his downed opponent back up on their feet and sock them in the gut. [[{{Moe}} No]][[BadassAdorable el]] [[GunKata Vermi]][[GunFu llion]] can [[TheGunslinger shoot]] the opponent ''[[SpamAttack a lot of times]]'' while they're down. [[{{Cyborg}} Iron]] [[GeniusBruiser Tager]], though more civilized than most BB characters, magnetizes his opponents stuck to one of his fingers and pulls them up into the air. This move also magnetizes his opponent afterwards, [[YouWillNotEvadeMe making it difficult to avoid his follow-up attack]]... ''VideoGame/BlazBlueChronophantasma'' also added [[BloodKnight Azrael]] who can ''jump'' on his opponent if he feels like it... But they all pale in comparison to [[{{Jerkass}} Yuuki]] [[AxCrazy Terumi]] who skips right over combat pragmatism and settles for downright ''VideoGameCrueltyPotential''. It's not enough that he has ''two'' moves that lets him [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown curbstomp a downed opponent]], no, some of his {{Victory Pose}}s has him ''[[BeatingADeadPlayer keep stomping]]''. Terumi also has both an easier time gaining meter than anyone else and literally more super moves than special moves; a good Terumi player will take every opportunity to charge and use them. Arakune is fairly weak until his Curse is active, at which point he can start summoning projectiles in the form of various insects from multiple directions. No amount of nerfing over the course of the series has stopped players of other characters from complaining that Arakune's bees are cheap if not outright unfair, and no amount of complaining has stopped Arakune players from watching their combo counter steadily rise.

* A big part of Altair\'s fighting style in \'\'VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI\'\' is his willingness to be a \'\'brutal\'\' combatant. Included in his \'\'many\'\' nasty killing animations is punching a mook in the face to spin him around and then stabbing him in the lower back, through the hip, and \'\'[[{{Squick}} out his crotch]]\'\'. Another involves breaking an opponent\'s leg by kicking out a knee, and another has him kick them in the crotch, and as they drop to their knees, stabbing them in the top of their head with his short blade.
* Kratos of \'\'VideoGame/GodOfWar\'\' is pretty damned brutal, willing to stab Cyclopses in the eye, slashing their knees to open them up for attack, slam and throw enemies around and even rip enemies apart with his bare hands.
