Is there any multiplayer game where the more you're losing, the stronger you get? Or vice versa? It's a very appealing idea to me.

Now, I'm not just taking about implied conservation of ninjutsu, like in fighting games or beat'em ups where the enemies get stronger and stronger, but actual direct conservation of ninjutsu...

For people that want to know what I'm talking about, look here:

Isn't there a shitton of examples in the videogames section of that trope link?

I've seen it quite often in FPS's though. You face the first boss and barely survive the fight, and just a couple of levels on that boss type is suddenly the most common enemy around and you slaughter them in droves.

Not really, I'm looking for multiplayer games that follow it. Except for the SSB example, there's not much. Probably should have specified that.

Well I remember something like that in one of my old Genesis games "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Championship Fighters" or something along those lines.  When your health got low enough you could use "desperation attacks" which were insanely powerful.

I remember some old quake mods where the better you were doing, the less weapons you had.  Like, everyone spawned with all weapons, and you lost your best one every kill or five kills or something...

Oh yeah Mario Kart is an obvious example.

Street Fighter 4; as you get beaten up, your ultra combo meter fills, which allows you to use the Ultra, which is often devastating, if often difficult to land.
