Male Might, Female Finesse	comment	In fiction, male-female fighting pairs tend to have the guys dealing damage from close range while the girls stay out of the front lines and dish out damage from long range either as an archer or a mage (or both) or heal up the guy doing all the fighting. Male Might, Female Finesse is basically Force and Finesse combined with stereotypical gender roles. It describes a foil where a physically powerful male character is paired with a Waif-Fu wielding Action Girl as an Action Duo. This portrayal and dynamic exists because of the Mars and Venus Gender Contrast; stereotypical men are strong and durable while stereotypical women are agile and flexible, and it's rare for them to mix both attributes. This sometimes extends to their temperaments; men would be either boisterous or stiff while women would be more cheerful, open-minded, or sultry (though as they're Action Girl they're definitely never "fragile girls"). Of course, expect inversions every once in a while. For their fighting style, expect the man to be brawling with brute force while the female to be agile and graceful, with the woman tending to exercise She-Fu and/or Waif-Fu. A Sub-Trope to Men Are Tough and Women Are Delicate. May be part of a Battle Couple, but not always. Can be justified if Huge Guy, Tiny Girl is in play. Compare Guys Smash, Girls Shoot for another way the gender roles play in fighting.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_116de4aa	comment	One episode of The Six Million Dollar Man is "The Secret of Bigfoot", which has The Hero Steve Austin encounter a band of aliens living in a secluded woodland. They have a huge android called Sasquatch, whose strength keeps Colonel Austin in check. Sasquatch's chief controller is Shalon, an alien humanoid female with a device on her Utility Belt that allows her to warp time around herself, an effect that mimics teleportation. Only Steve's bionic eye can track Shalon in this accelerated mode.

Trish, however, is a "female might" inversion by virtue of being based on Dante's playstyle from the first game.

This also extends to their Noble Phantasms both in-lorenote Arthur's Excalibur is an EX-rank Anti-World Noble Phantasm with at least half of its 13 seals unlocked, while Artoria's is an A++ (A in-game). and in-gamenote Arthur's hits three times and its animations show off the pure destructive power of an EX-ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasm, while Artoria's hits only once but its animations show off a visually impressive Pillar of Light.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: The two cases of boys who turn into girls thanks to the Jusenkyo Spring called the Nyanniichuan let individuals fill this trope. Whether Ranma Saotome fits the trope is... questionable. The manga never overtly says anything about Ranma's forms affecting his strength vs. his speed, and both forms demonstrably possess Super-Strength and Super-Speed. However, in the manga, when Ranma is dueling his last male romantic rival Mousse for the first time, it's discovered that Ranma's smaller female form has less reach, and Ranma is forced to use a one-time cure for his Shapeshifter Mode Lock to resume his male form so he can win. In the anime, whilst Ranma does initially run into that same problem, he ultimately beats Mousse without needing to resume male form... however, it's stated at least twice, in a filler episode and an OAV, that Ranma's female form gains speed but loses strength compared to his male form. During his battle with Herb of the Musk Dynasty, Herb, who is initially locked into a female form, uses a form of Ki Attack that has Ranma baffled, until Herb manages to turn back to male and uses the same attack, at which point Ranma can see what's happening. Herb's female form had done it so blinding fast Ranma couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Inverted with Gambit and Rogue when they are paired as Battle Couple. Gambit tends to be quick and elusive in combat, flinging kinetic energy at adversaries, while Rogue is a melee scrapper, able to absorb the traits and powers of those she contacts. Wolverine's fighting style compared to Jean Grey is far more melee-focused and savage compared to her more graceful and varied Psychic Powers. The same applies to Wolvie and Storm as well as Wolverine and his Opposite-Sex Clone X-23, who thanks to having blades in her feet has a lot more precise strikes and general finesse compared to her clone dad. Colossus, the Husky Russkie with metallic skin, is often paired with Kitty Pryde, an Intangible Woman who has trained in ninja skills. He's also paired with his sister Illyana, who's got a Cool Sword, magic and teleporting discs compared to his good old fashioned brute strength.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem likes this trope a lot. Comparing the three lords of The Blazing Blade, Lyndis is a Fragile Speedster, Hector is a Mighty Glacier and Eliwood is somewhere in the middle. In The Sacred Stones, the female lord Eirika is quick but frail, while her brother Ephraim is a bit slower and much stronger and sturdier. Across the series, Pegasus Knights, a class with some of the best mobility in the game but poor defense, are almost exclusively female. On the flip side, slow, tough and mighty Armor Knights are usually men, and in some games all Armor Knights are male. Generally inverted with its magic users, however, where the male mages are Weak, but Skilled while the female mages are Unskilled, but Strong. While Fire Emblem: Three Houses was the first main installment to make Dancer a gender neutral class, the male dancers uses the default sword animations while the female dancers are straight up Dance Battlers. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes would avert this by making the Dance Battler animations gender neutral.

However, Superman is a mostly self-taught fighter with little to no formal training and is often shown to have an edge in strength over Wonder Woman. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman is a Lady of War who has been taught armed and unarmed combat since she was a child and fights either with her iconic magical Lasso of Truth or atom-shaving sword. It was also once stated that Diana is faster than Clark though is mostly an Informed Ability.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_2b0ada22	comment	Inverted in WandaVision, keeping up the tradition of the aforementioned Avengers: Endgame. Wanda Maximoff is the powerhouse in her relationship with The Vision, the one seemingly responsible for what is happening in Westview and later revealed to have caused it through a combination of her grief and her enormous magical power, and while Vision is no slouch as a physical fighter either, he is the more intellectual of the pair and the one who is trying to figure out what is happening. The final battle between Wanda and Agatha Harkness is a classic superhero slugfest, while the concurrent battle between Vision and White Vision/Cataract isn't settled through violence, but through a debate about the Ship of Theseus and the nature of their respective identities.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Inverted with Sakura and Sasuke, the former primarily uses powerful Super-Strength blows while the latter uses his grab bag of more precise justus (e.g the Great Fireball Technique and Chidori) Sharingan powers and speed. Played straight with Naruto and Hinata, while the former has immense strength and Chakra power, the latter has the Gentle-Fist style which is about prescion and finesse. Rock Lee and Tenten are also straight examples, Lee is all about strength and overwheming foes with punching and kicking while Tenten's fightning style is all about summoning weapons and using them skillfully. Neji is a combo-breaker in the trio as his Gentle Fist style like Hinta is more about precision. Also inverted with Tsunade and other other two Legendary Sannin Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Tsunade fights mainly with her colossal strength whereas Jiraiya and Orochimaru more commonly use their precise jutsus and summons rather than outright brawling. Fair to note Jiraiya is still pretty damn strong himself (punching a giant ram off a skyscraper), even if his aforementioned old teammate crushes and overshadows him in regard to strength.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Comparatively Goku and his wife Chi-Chi's fighting styles are this. While Goku tends to go for traditional heavy and powerful punches, kicks and head butts with his even more intricate attacks being centred around strength, Chi-Chi (as seen in her fights) uses mantis-style kung-fu jabs and strikes along with kicks and unlike her husband rarely punches. In general, the female Z-Fighters like Android 18 and Videl don't tend to go for brute strength like the boys and more frequently use acrobatic and effective blows or in 18's case ki blasts. For example in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero 18 focuses on targeting Cell Max's weak point with ki, rather than just trying to slug it out with the kaiju bio-android like Gohan, Piccolo and Gotenks do for most of the battle. Inverted with Universe 6 Saiyans, while a male like Cabba is a Fragile Speedster who fights with quick punches and ki blasts, the females like Caulifa and Kale even more so fight with the usual Saiyan raw strength and power. Considering the brutal fighting style of Universe 7's Fasha, this is on-brand for female Saiyans.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil seems run on these rules when it comes to the melee styles of the cast (as especially seen in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D). Chris is a Good Old Fisticuffs powerhouse compared to the Waif-Fu Kick Chick combat of Jill or Sheva. Likewise Billy and later Jake are very much muscle compared to their respective female partners Rebecca and Sherry who are tool/agility focused (Jake in particular being a melee combo Lightning Bruiser). Most blatantly in Resident Evil 3 (Remake) Jillâ€™s special move is a skilful evade while Carlosâ€™ special move is more simply a fuck-off Megaton Punch. Leon is the trend breaker as his melee is about Bruce Lee-esque finesse with kicks and grabs whilst two of his female partners Claire and Helenaâ€™s melee moves are scrappier with brawler punches. Although Leon is still more strength-based with his suplexes compared to Ada whoâ€™s pure Dance Battler acrobatics like Jill and Revelations 2 actually makes Claire a Kick Chick compared Barry who just punches the shit out of biohazards like Chris.

Izuku is a pugilist who initially makes up for his lack of experience with the incredible power of his Semblance. His Semblance provides nothing but brute force and speed and can't be directly used to bolster others. On the other hand, Pyrrha's and Weiss' Semblances can each manipulate the battlefield to their advantage and have a wide array of applications. Pyrrha is a Multi-Melee Master who uses her Semblance to give herself the illusion of inhuman grace and precision, while Weiss is a Dance Battler who wields a Royal Rapier who has a variety of supportive and attacking abilities with her use of Dust and her Glyphs. While both of them are better fighters than him at the start of the story, they lack the firepower to bring down a Giant Nevermore, which Izuku ends up doing in one punch.

Kanji is a traditional Mighty Glacier with high HP, Strength and Endurance, and average-to-low stats elsewhere. Chie's Strength is comparatively low (it's just below Yosuke's, who's not a physical specialist) but she has higher Agility, learns more multi-target and multi-hitting moves, and has skills that raise her critical hit rate. Interestingly, Chie is a Tomboy while Kanji has stereotypically feminine interests.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_5d78cbd2	comment	The ObsCure games: Played straight with the dynamic between the siblings Kenny and Shannon. Kenny, a basketball player, can sprint as his special ability, while the Girl Next Door Shannon can solve puzzles more easily and perform first aid more effectively. (Ironically, it's Kenny who you spend the first half of the game trying to save from monsters.) It's inverted, however, with the other playable characters. The School Newspaper Newshound Josh finds items more easily and the delinquent Stan picks locks much faster, while cheerleader Ashley is the best fighter in the game thanks to her special ability that lets her do a quick rapid-fire attack with her weapon. The second game plays it much straighter, as most of the male characters are Unskilled, but Strong while all of the female characters are Weak, but Skilled. The athletes Kenny and Sven have the ability to move heavy objects and hit enemies harder, while Corey can take more damage and is the only one able to climb narrow ledges. Stan, with his his ability to pick locks, is the one exception among the guys. The girls' special abilities, meanwhile, are either intellectual in the case of the computer hacker Mei and the Genius Ditz puzzle-solver Amy, or supernatural in the case of Shannon, who can suck dangerous dark auras out of the environment.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: The showsâ€™ main Firebender and Waterbender Zuko and Katara can be regarded as this with Zuko being straightforward and aggressive while Katara is graceful and full of finesse. Inverted with Aang and Toph the main Airbender and Earthbender, Aang â€œTwinkle Toesâ€� is light and acrobatic whilst Toph is direct and powerful. Aang has to painfully learn to be more aggressive and steadfast when learning Earthbending from Toph and ignore his tendency to think around problems. Zuko and Azula play this straight, heâ€™s physically stronger and has way more stamina while sheâ€™s far quicker and much more skilfully dangerous with her Firebending yet still a Glass Cannon Fragile Speedster compared to her big brother. This is why in the Final Battle she has to resort to attacking Katara while having a Agni Kai with Zuko as she was simply tiring out fast and needed a way to get her brother off her â€” leading to Zuko Taking the Bullet. Fittingly Azula loses to Katara who manages to out finesse and skill her, though Azulaâ€™s Villainous Breakdown at the time was likely helping matters. Inverted with Sokka and Suki, heâ€™s a Guile Hero and agile swordsman whereas sheâ€™s a strong Cute Bruiser. Funnily enough Sokkaâ€™s one time opponent and non-serious Ship Tease Ty Lee is also more of a physical powerhouse compared to him. Played with concerning Aang and his successor and reincarnation Korra from the Sequel Series. Initially itâ€™s a clear cut inversion, Aang is patient and graceful while Korra is aggressive and direct and learning to be otherwise is immensely difficult for both of them. Yet at the end of their respective journeys Aang becomes a formidable force of nature while Korra has become a skillful and efficient Avatar and Bender.

Somewhat downplayed as Wonder Woman and Faora themselves also demonstrate immense strength; the gender difference is more oriented towards speed versus agility. Suicide Squad (2016) offers a more traditional example with the villainous Brotherâ€“Sister Team of Enchantress and Incubus. Enchantress is a highly adept magic-user whose fighting style when she is forced to engage in melee combat consists primarily of teleporting around the room and keeping her enemies off-balance with quick strikes. While Incubus does possess some magical ability, he's a giant monster more than twice the size of a normal human who relies mostly on brute strength to act as the muscle backing up Enchantress.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_9e202b7b	comment	Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Kenichi and Miu have this dynamic. Kenichi is mostly an all-arounder with a speciality in durability and Stamina while being able to strike back with powerful blows. Miu, meanwhile, is far mor geared toward speed, agility, flexibility and finesse, all of which are top class among disciples, with her durability and stamina being her lower points. Granted, her strikes still do exceptional damage, but this is moreso due to her striking skills, precision muscle control and the sheer number of attacks she can pull per second, rather than pure muscle mass (her's being even smaller than Kenichi's in the earliest stages of his training, and he buffs up a lot throughout the series). Highlighted in the first episode of the OVA where Kenichi and Miu have to fight a pair of disciples mirroring them, one being a heavily muscular guy and the other being a much smaller but faster and more agile girl. Note that the fight is not present in the manga. Compared to the tall and muscular male masters of Ryozanpaku (with the exception of the small and old Kensei Ma), the lone female master of the dojo, Shigure, is much smaller and relies more on her weapon expertise than anything else. The only 2 girls of Ragnarok, Valkyrie and Freya, rely on kicking skills and Bo staff mastery respectively as opposed to other members of the group like Mighty Glacier Thor and Lightning Bruiser Berserker.

While Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Chopper and Jinbe have immense strength (the first three in particular) and are all primarily melee fighters; Robin and Nami by contrast prefer to fight from a distance, focus on using precise and effective attacks and aren't as scappy (Vivi also counts with her Peacock Slashers). Robin does avert this in Wano arc though, with her Demonio fleur Super Mode giving her a great physical strength boost. Usopp (a sniper) and Brook (a fencer) invert this, especially Brook with his elusive and precise Fragile Speedster swordplay.

Final Fantasy IV: Rosa and Rydia have low physical stats compared to the boys (especially Cecil, Kain, Yang and Cid) but have a grab bag of magical attacks and powerful summons in the latter case. Final Fantasy VI: Sabin compared to the graceful Magic Knight girls Terra and Celes is might incarnate with his gameplay centred around strength and â€œBlitzâ€� combos, yet Terra and Celes are beefier combat-wise compared to Locke the agile and fragile thief. Played straight with the kids, Wild Child Gau is The Berserker while Relm is Squishy Wizard. Zigzagged in Final Fantasy VII. The BFS wielding Cloud compared to Aerith or Yuffie the graceful mage and speedy thief of the party respectively is strength-focused in regard to his stats and generally has some of the most devastating Limit Breaks, yet Tifa has such immense Super-Strength that Cloud in comparison to her is more precise and intricate not to mention being the best at magic behind Aerith and Vincent. Tifa is also more about physical might than most of the males in the party such as Barret, Red XIII, Cait Sith and Vincent who are projectile focused (Cid Highwind the being the exception, being a mighty melee fighter like Cloud with his spear fighting Dragoon attacks). Final Fantasy VII Remake plays this straighter and splits it down the middle concerning the four playable party members. Cloud and Barret have powerhouse toughness with their stats letting them muscle through most regular enemies with Barret being a Mighty Glacier and Cloud a Lightning Bruiser, whilst Tifa and Aerith being a Glass Cannon and Squishy Wizard respectively tend have comparatively more layered gameplay that requires timing and zoning which can be Difficult, but Awesome. That being said, Tifa can be upgraded to be more a speedy tank like Cloud if you put the effort in. Similarly in Yuffieâ€™s Intergrade DLC Canon Foreigner and staff fighter Sonon is more of a muscle tank that draws attacks away from Yuffie, whoâ€™s traditionally an agile Fragile Speedster. Final Fantasy VIII: Comparatively Squall and Zellâ€™s gameplay is about dealing massive DSP with incredible strength whilst Selphie and Quistis (a Blue Mage)â€™s abilities are more intricate and situational but highly effective when pulled off correctly. Final Fantasy IX: Adelbert and Amarant are heavy hitting tanks compared to the more delicate but very effective Garnet and Eiko. Then again The Hero Zidane for once isnâ€™t a strength-based warrior, rather an average stats thief whose bread and butter is finesse. Final Fantasy X: Auron, Kimhari, Tidus and Wakka have devastating physical attacks (especially the former two) while the girls Lulu, Yuna and Rikku in juxtaposition are more magic/summon/skill focused. Although Lulu can made extremely durable and Yuna extremely hard hitting if youâ€™re feeling generous on the Sphere Grid.

Star Platinum is all about raw power and Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs as a Lightning Bruiser, Stone Free, though still pretty damn strong in its own right, is more about problem solving and precision than fighting, with its string powers being a Swiss-Army Superpower.

Male Might, Female Finesse / int_ef661e97	comment	Street Fighter: Ryu and his pupil/fangirl Sakura Kasugano. Street Fighter plays with this a lot, actually. While there is plenty of variety among male fighters, nearly everyone who fits the Mighty Glacier archetype is a big, burly dude. Zangief, Hugo, T. Hawk, and Alex are all huge grapplers who can tank lots of damage and hit hard but have slow foot speed. Mika, the first female grappler of the series, is notably much more frail and quicker than her male wrestling peers. The trend is broken in Street Fighter 6 with Marisa, who actually fits the Mighty Glacier archetype, and is a big, burly woman. Also, around half of the female cast is defined by either speed or acrobatic ability. Chun Li, Cammy, and Ibuki are all Fragile Speedster acrobats of one stripe or another, though Cammy occasionally fills more of a melee-focused Lightning Bruiser role. Makoto is a peculiar example in that while her walking speed is awful and she hits hard, she attacks fast and lacks defense, straddling the line between Speedster and Glass Cannon. When it comes to Ninjas all of them are speed oriented but the males, Guy and Zeku, are Lightning Bruisers and the only female, Ibuki, is the game's defining Fragile Speedster. Her attacks individually do less damage than theirs but she strings hits more quickly than most of the rest of the cast.

By contrast, Sue originally only had the power to turn invisible. She later acquired the power to create a form of matter that she could shape any way she desired and her invisibility powers were expanded into turning other people and objects invisible as well. She easily has the most versatile power set of the FF while the men are largely geared towards brute force in comparison. Galactus is a world-devouring Mighty Glacier, largely impervious to mundane weapons. However, populated worlds can be problematic, so Galactus for a time had a herald called Nova, a superheroine given the powers of blistering flames and limitless flight. Nova arrives first, informs the populace that "time's up," burns off their puny resistance, and then Galactus comes and finishes off their whole planet.
