'''Mean Sweep''' is a recurring martial arts ability in the {{DQSeries}}.

It tries to trip an enemy and is an upgrade from [[Leg Sweep]]. Its attack animation is accompanied by the effect of kicking water from the practitioner's feet, although it still inflicts normal physical damage.

Mean Sweep is a hybrid ability learned by advancing to rank 5 as a [[Martial Artist]] or [[Sailor]] immediately after completing the other.
*In the {{3DS}} version, hybrid abilities no longer exist and Mean Sweep is learned normally by advancing to rank 4 as a [[Sailor]].  Mean Sweep causes damage and may prevent an enemy from acting their next turn.

==={{DQM}}===
Called BigTrip in this game, it is an upgraded form of [[Leg Sweep|SweepKick]]. LegSweep will grow into BigTrip when the {{MFamilies}} reaches level 12 with 66 {{HP}}, 63 {{Strength}}, and 77 {{Agility}}.

==={{DQM2}}===
The requirements to learn BigTrip are unchanged.

==Etymology==
Its Japanese name, Suimen-geri (水面蹴り, lit. Water surface kick) is a reference to a kicking technique in which the user lowers their body close the ground and performs a spinning sweep kick to the opponent's legs. It was made famous by the late Japanese professional wrestler [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinya_Hashimoto Shinya Hashimoto], who developed the technique while studying wushu in China after losing to boxer Tony Halme. Suimen-geri also appears in ''[[Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy VII]]'' as one of martial artist Tifa Lockhart's Limit Breaks under the name Waterkick.
