I Know Madden Kombat | comment |
Often seen in fighting games, this trope is about characters whose fighting styles either use tactics from or are based on non-combat sports. This does not include those who just use sporting equipment as bludgeoning weapons (for instance, Batter Up! and Golf Clubbing). It comes as no surprise that many of these characters are athletes. Part of the trope name comes from the Madden NFL series of American football video games, and thus indirectly from their celebrity sponsor John Madden. Sub-Trope of Weapons of Their Trade and Martial Arts and Crafts. This is the inverse of Martial Arts for Mundane Purposes, as well as Improbable Sports Skills. May result in Gretzky Has the Ball or Artistic License – Sports. If the sport is gymnastics or cheerleading, see She-Fu. See also I Know Mortal Kombat, Dance Battler, Wrestler in All of Us, where the fighting style is based on Professional Wrestling and Boxing Battler, a variation on this trope using an actual combat sport. |

Kakeru Kunitachi (Striker Crossit in the dub) in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL has a soccer-themed deck, and even a field spell that turns the battlefield into a soccer arena.

The Japanese kung-fu horror musical comedy (really) Battlefield Baseball is practically built around this trope, featuring a main character who beats people up during baseball matches, accidentally killed his father by throwing a pitch at him too hard, and fights an evil high school baseball team who kill their opponents.

Jagged Alliance: Wink E. Dickerson brings his baseball pitching skills to the battlefield. While of average stats all around, he has a trait that lets him throw grenades much further, though not necessarily more accurately. Timothy 'Leech' Jenkins has one of the highest accuracy scores in the game, cultivated from his previous career as a world-class trapshooter. While of average physical stats, and thus not as swift or durable as more professional soldiers, he seems to have switched to mercenary work quite well. Disturbingly well, given his comments that shooting people is more fun than clay pigeons because they scream. |

Now You See Me seems to believe that being magician is equivalent to being a ninja (either that, or the Four Horsemen were somehow chosen for their fighting abilities on top of their on-stage prowesses). One of the magicians takes down several cops at melee combat, and even uses playing cards as shurikens. They're also all pretty good with handcuffs. And one of them is a mentalist, which apparently gives him Jedi Mind Trick-like powers. | |

G.I. Joe character Captain Gridiron, an ex-quarterback that runs around in modified football gear and throws football-shaped grenades. The toyline also featured famous Chicago Bears Defensive End William "the Refrigerator" Perry, who had a chain with a spiked metal football at the end. It was actually a tradition for each new wave of figures to feature at least one sport-themed character, though many aren't quite so blatant as the examples already given; one of the few on the Cobra side of things are Frag-Vipers, hand grenade experts outfitted with a "manual hurling basket" based on a Jai Alai cesta. | |

The Galarian rabbits Scorbunny, Raboot and Cinderace perform like association football (soccer) players, and specialize in kicks, but Cinderace epitomizes the trope in its Secret Art Pyro Ball, where it picks up a pebble, kicks it repeatedly to heat it up like a dropped soccer ball, and then launches it at the opponent for power comparable to a Fire Blast. | |

Kimberly from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers used a mixture of gymnastics and martial arts for her fighting style, as did Billy. Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost actually were champion gymnasts, Yost earning several state championships and Johnson almost making the U.S. Olympic team before suffering a career-ending injury. Zack, similarly, incorporated breakdancing into his fighting style. Walter Emanuel Jones is a professional dancer, who has worked with Cheryl Burke. Also Kat, once Catherine Sutherland began doing her own fight scenes, used ballet in her fighting style. The Wild Force's Sixth Ranger uses a finisher inspired by billiards. Power Rangers Turbo introduced Carlos, who is a great, yet clumsy, soccer player. In Power Rangers Megaforce, Jake would follow Carlos' example, being a soccer player who incorporated his sport's moves in his unmorphed fights. |

In Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, it's common for beybladers to personalize their blading style with another interest or skill of theirs and sport is a common one. Many even have personalized shooters that function as an item related to their sport of choice. First and foremost, there's the All Starz, the American team, which members all are star sportsmen. Steve plays football and is both strong and agile, Eddy is into basketball and is nimble with a great downwards attack, Emily has a thing for tennis and outright smashes through the competition, while Michael is baseball personified and a balanced player. His right pitch is so powerful that it is considered the All Starz's secret weapon. Other bladers that use sports are two members of Spintensity, Mario and Paula, respectively good at soccer and fishing, and Hikaru, who's killer at roller-skating. Uniquely, he doesn't have a personalized shooter, but a personalized bey which enjoy added balance due to the presence of wheels. | |

In Persona 3, Junpei Iori holds his sword with the wrong foot forward, meaning that he's essentially swinging it like a baseball bat. His critical hit even has him yell "HOME RUN!!". As befitting The Load, he falls over a lot doing so. Taken to a logical conclusion in Persona 4: Arena in its sequel, where he fights with a baseball themed moveset and mechanic of gaining homeruns. | |

Fallout 3: One of the potential random encounters is an ice-hockey themed gang named "Sudden-Death Overtime". All they really know about hockey is that it involves ice and fighting, though — the sport died a long time ago after all. Liberty Prime is a Humongous Mecha who throws nuclear bombs like a quarterback throws a football. One of the first perks you can take is "Little Leaguer", in which your experience hitting and pitching as the MVP of the Vault 101 little leagues gives you a bonus to Melee and Explosives (IE, tossing grenades). |

Johnny Maximum from World Heroes has a heavily football inspired fighting style which includes punting, rushing attacks and catching projectiles and throwing or kicking them back as footballs. Let’s not dwell on the fact that football is a sport with highly specialized positions and no player would have all these skills. His idle pose is even a lineman’s three-point stance. He's also based on Joe Montana (note the initials and his default uniform colors). | |

The second episode of Band of Brothers had 1st Lt. Lynn 'Buck' Compton, the starting catcher for the UCLA baseball team before he joined the paratroopers, hit a German soldier with a grenade with such accuracy and strength that it exploded as soon as it hit him. This was absolute Truth in Television; in fact they toned things down for the show. Lt. Compton actually nailed his enemy in the head with his grenade. |

They tend to appear near the curiously goalpost-shaped stage goal. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island had a level full of two special kinds of Shy Guys, one who could bat thrown eggs at an angle and one who could catch them (or pick them off the ground) and then chuck them back at Yoshi. They'd also try to do the same with watermelon seeds. Chargin' Chucks reappeared in Super Mario 3D World, but their fighting style is more limited to "chargin'" than in their debut appearance. Playable characters however put their soccer and baseball skills to good use, utilizing soccer balls (or bombs made to look like them) and large baseballs as weapons. |

The Bitball weapons in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, while not resembling any type of sports ball in particular, utilize moves inspired by various ball sports, with your party members throwing, kicking, punching, and even dunking the ball into foes, and some of their arts bear sports-inspired names like Touchdown. Common blades with the weapon will even talk more like they're in a ball game then a fight on top of this. | |

Turns up an awful lot in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The upper classman duelist Mitsuru Ayanokouji (Harrington Rosewood in the dub) used a deck full of tennis-themed cards. Kakeru Kunitachi (Striker Crossit in the dub) in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL has a soccer-themed deck, and even a field spell that turns the battlefield into a soccer arena. (Much to the disappointment of his brothers, known stars of actual soccer; Kunitachi wasn't very good because he wasn't much of a team player.) In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Shuzo Hiragi (Skip Boyle in the dub) uses Guts Masters, who resemble players of various sports; thus far he has used monsters based on soccer, Kendo, and football. |

Various Pokémon attack using sports techniques: The Alolan primate Passimian performs like an American football (or rugby football) player, and actually does better in Doubles battles due to its ability "Receiver" taking its partner's ability when said partner leaves the field. The Galarian rabbits Scorbunny, Raboot and Cinderace perform like association football (soccer) players, and specialize in kicks, but Cinderace epitomizes the trope in its Secret Art Pyro Ball, where it picks up a pebble, kicks it repeatedly to heat it up like a dropped soccer ball, and then launches it at the opponent for power comparable to a Fire Blast. In Pokkén Tournament, Braixen has a move where she uses her staff like a golf club to launch an exploding fireball at her opponent. |

Wrestler Goldberg, once an NFL football player, used a spear tackle (or "the Spear") as a signature move. It's an illegal tackle in footballnote In "football" codes where "spear tackling" is illegal, it means something different than the tackle Goldberg used in pro wrestling. In various rugby codes, and Australian Rules Football, it means tackling by lifting up an opposing player and slamming them onto their back, neck, and/or head. This is more like a pro wrestling spinebuster than pro wrestling spear tackle. In various "gridiron" football codes, such as American football, "spearing" is a tackling such that a player is "launching" themselves into an opposing player and making initial contact with the "crown"/top of the helmet. Pro wrestling spears, including Goldberg's, make contact with the shoulder, for the safety of both spearer and spearee. — and yes, it does hurt. | |

Final Fantasy X: Wakka uses his blitzball skills in battle, and all of his weapons are blitzballs. It should be noted that during a blitzball match, you will regularly see people roundhouse kicking each other, punching each other in the face, and actually knocking each other unconscious. And since the sport takes place underwater, a blitzball would have to weigh a lot to overcome water resistance. Tidus as well, also being a Blitzballer. Tidus' Ultimate Overdrive, Blitz Ace, finishes a series of sword attacks off by having a Blitzball served to him by a party member, and performing a "Sphere Shot" (essentially a full flip bicycle kick) to drive a blitzball that explodes right into the enemy's face. In the Blitzball mini-game it self, he also can learn Jecht Shot, and Jecht Shot II, moves where he intentionally hits two or three opposing blockers out of the way with the ball for him to take a shot at the goal. Jecht Shot and Blitz Ace carry over to his appearance in Dissidia Final Fantasy, the former as an HP attack and the latter as his EX Burst. |

Bat Boy is a Shovel Knight-inspired action platformer, where the player character and bosses are sports-themed superheroes rather than outlandishly themed knights. The love interest becomes a literal Tennis Boss. Bat Boy can hit projectiles back at enemies or throw his bat as a Battle Boomerang, and each boss teaches him a new ability from their repertoire when defeated — charging like a rampaging linebacker, a leaping tennis smash, etc. | |

Hunter × Hunter: Gon applies the skills he developed for fishing to combat and passes the extremely selective Hunter Exam thanks to it (with the help of friends he gained along the way). It is implied that Gon's father Ging had the same fishing background and is now one of the three strongest fighters in the world. Razor and all of his underlings have sports-themed powers, with Razor himself choosing volleyball as his sport of choice. However, only Razor is seen fighting (with the rest of them using their powers to set up challenges). Though his Signature Move is a spike done with a charged-up volleyball that is capable of tearing a yacht to shreds at its weakest, his actual ability is creating a bunch of autonomous humanoids, so he can be a team by himself. |

In the first fight between Goku and Tien in Dragon Ball, Tien eventually unveils his most powerful technique: Using volleyball moves to toss his opponent around like a ball. Dragon Ball Z had a football team get into an altercation with an imperfect Cell. When tempers flared, they lined up and tried to rush him. Being that it was Cell, it didn't end well for the team. In one of the video game manuals, it's explained that most of the Ginyu Force got their powers from fairly mundane sources during their childhoods; Jeice developed his Crusher Ball technique from being a baseball pitcher, Burter owes his speed to doing chores for his demanding grandmother, and Recoome's agility despite his size lends itself to dance lessons. Ginyu and Guldo already had their powers, but put them to mundane, selfish use at the time. |

Kill la Kill: Overlaps with Martial Arts and Crafts. Apparently, just about every school club activity, including but not limited to sports, can become a deadly fighting style - assuming you wear the right uniform for the task. However, actual fighting techniques are more effective. Lampshaded by Ryuko, when she is challenged by the tennis club president to a tennis duel and wonders why she can't just beat her up without any regard for sport rules, like she did with her previous opponent, the boxer. Eventually, she decides that beating the enemy at their own game would be more humiliating and decides to roll with it. In the invasion of Kobe, some of the Kobe high schoolers have American football-themed uniforms and attacks. |

In Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger, Shogo joined the competitive archery club back in high school for the sake of living out his fantasies as being a Ranger in Final Fantasy''. Although he explicitly learned the ritualistic kind for sport, his skills prove handy when he becomes an adventurer, as he proves to be a great (but not infallible) shot and his ability to fight at range helps him overcome his lack of strength and experience. | |

Rifts: In the Rifts: Australia sourcebook, the Sportsman O.C.C. is a talented athlete in a sport of your choice who adapts the skills from his chosen profession into combat maneuvers. Note that, being Rifts, many familiar sports are barely not gladiatorial combat. The setting has a number of unique sports, like deadball, which is similar to handball but with a heavy metal ball that randomly protrudes sharp spikes. Juicers, the primary players of deadball, can take "Deadball" as a weapon skill. Juicers play a lot of Blood Sports, so skills from any Juicer sport often translate very well to combat. |

The enemies in his stage are also sports-themed, including pitchers who throw curveballs and baskets that bounce balls at you. The skier Blizzard Man fights with ski poles. Mega Man 8 has the Mega Ball weapon (which appears to be the game's equivalent of Rush Coil, of all things). It summons a ball that Mega Man can kick, which bounces a number of times. "Classic" series Mega Man also uses it in his Capcom vs. appearances. Tundra Man from Mega Man 11 was originally a polar surveillance robot, but developed a thirst for the spotlight and modified himself to better suit figure skating. His main threat in his fight with Mega Man involves pirouette-induced Collision Damage. In the Mega Man Battle Network games, there's Gridman.exe (football) and Bowlman.exe (bowling).

At one point in the 1632 series, a high school is attacked by Croat cavalry (It Makes Sense in Context). They have some proper weapons, but a number of students end up fighting swords and pistols with fastballs. They're actually reasonably successful; a projectile traveling in the vicinity of 80 miles per hour hitting you in the face at close range is hard to ignore. The only guy using baseballs (who was good enough to play pro in the 20th century, which means it's a 90+ mph fastball) decides to join the military after graduation, so he never has to face THAT kind of situation without a proper weapon. In a later book, he does hit a guy in the face with an apple then beat the crap out of him with a table leg "I never much liked the designated hitter rule". | |

A sorta kinda example in John Morrison, who incorporates Capoeira into his matches, which is as much a dance technique as a martial art. Also they bring up that he is a practitioner of Le Parkour a lot. | |

YuYu Hakusho has one-scene demon who's obsessed with rugby. We don't get to see much of his fighting style, though, because shortly after he attacks Yusuke, one of Rugby's teammates kills him for starting things outside of the ring. | |

In Eternal Fighter Zero, Nayuki Minase (awake) has a fighting style characterized by intricate kicks and very fast footwork, a reference to her position as the school's track team captain in Kanon. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Princess Peach uses a golf club and tennis racquet, inspired by her appearances in the Mario Golf and Mario Tennis games. Her Echo Fighter Daisy does the same thing as well. When Waluigi appears as an assist trophy in Brawl onwards, he uses a tennis racket to reference his debut game. In Wii U/3DS, Wii Fit Trainer knows yoga combat. All of her moves are yoga poses - struck with enough force to damage her opponents. Her side special has her head butting a soccer ball. One of Mii Brawler's neutral specials has them throwing a metallic ball named "Shot Put". It is the only projectile move that the Mii Brawler has. |
