trip counter

When you perform a simple action (like tripping) in order to counter a complicated play style or set of actions.

Person A’s Mind: I’m going to knock Person B over, pin him to the ground, and finish him off with my Sinister Slash!
Person A: *runs forward like a charging bull*
Person B: *trips Person A*
Person A: *rolls off a cliff*
Person A’s Mind: How did my amazing plan lose to a trip counter?
