Dylan Diaz
>MC fights villain
>The fight starts going in the MC's favor
>Villain:"I guess it's time for me to start getting serious" or "Don't get cocky, I'm only using 30% of my full power"
The only time when shit like this is acceptable is if the villain needs to fill certain requirements to meet full potential. Otherwise just fight at full strength from the beginning.
