Strong and Skilled	comment	Some characters are graced with great strength that they never bother to hone: they are Unskilled, but Strong. Other characters have little strength, and compensate with amazing ability and skill: they are Weak, but Skilled. Then there are characters who are both Strong and Skilled. There are multiple possibilities here. The Weak, but Skilled characters got an Upgrade Artifact, so now their impeccable poise is impossibly puissant. The Unskilled, but Strong characters decided to train (maybe using a Power Nullifier), giving their fantastic force a fatal finesse. Those characters who have The Gift can only use said power by improving their technique. In an interesting twist, Hard Work Hardly Works is wrong for these characters because all of their innate abilities or powers could only be fully accessed with a lot of training. Or the characters simply have both skill and strength. The Strong and Skilled characters are likely to surprise enemies because You're Nothing Without Your Phlebotinum is untrue; they can only be Brought Down to Badass. They may be weaker but they're hardly useless, much less unthreatening. As a villain, they'll be at or near the absolute apex of the Sorting Algorithm of Evil. As a hero, they probably are a Showy Invincible Hero who takes all fights seriously. In anime and comics, they are often The Mentor, The Rival, or just a hopelessly powerful Big Bad. In a video game, they'll probably be That One Boss who has a good AI and ungodly stats/powers. For a PC they may go from the Jack of All Stats to the setting's strongest Lightning Bruiser, bar none. Compare Master of All, who is great at everything; Badass Bookworm, who is both a fighter and a thinker, but not necessarily the strongest one of the lot; and Genius Bruiser, who is both a thinker and a fighter, but not necessarily a genius about fighting. Contrast Well-Trained, but Inexperienced, a character who may have skills but lacks the real-world experience to use them properly. Sister Trope to Talented, but Trained, the difference being this trope is about a combination of abilities (power and technique) regardless of how they were obtained. The goal of Boxing Lessons for Superman. Overlaps with Stronger Than They Look if the characters look like they're just Weak, but Skilled.

The Guardian, the one being to utterly defeat Jack effortlessly, was not only able to use a versitle aresenal of weapons including a sword, sais, a machine gun, and a rocket launcher, but was also good in hand to hand combat and had immense Super-Strength enough that he was able to break through solid steel and throw the samurai around. Jack himself even admitted that he never faced an opponent with such strength and skill up to then. Unfortunately for the Guardian, it wasn't enough to survive Aku.

Strong and Skilled / int_1f76648	comment	A Certain Magical Index: Kanzaki Kaori is a Saint, which grants her superhuman speed, strength and durability (able to survive in space and fall from orbit with no issues) that surpasses all but the strongest characters in the setting. She's also an Iaijutsu Practitioner, makes masterful use of Razor Floss to barrage opponents from multiple directions simultaneously and uses a hybrid form of magic that can theoretically kill an angel. The result is someone who can curbstomp a team of Magic Knights while holding back enough to avoid killing them and is only outmatched by serious winners of the Superpower Lottery. Level 5's play with this trope, as they require an in-depth understanding of the physics behind their abilities (and by extension their practical applications) in order to achieve that level of power in the first place and any use of them requires incredibly complex calculations to be done manually to achieve any sort of noticeable effect. However most overlap with Unskilled, but Strong since they mainly apply the most basic use in a fight and are largely content to to simply spam such abilities against opponents. The straightest example is Mikoto Misaka, who makes full use of her electromagnetism for electric and magnetism based attacks and her skill with the latter is such that she is known by her signature railgun. She also displays plenty of nuance with her powers, manipulating 'iron sand' as razor sharp Combat Tentacles, using magnetism for enhanced mobility and when affected with a paralysing drug, showed enough precision to move her body by stimulating the individual nerves. Acqua of the Back of the Roman Catholic Church's God's Right Seat not only possesses the power of Archangel Gabriel, but thanks to a certain Game-Breaker ability he can also use the "normal" magic abilities he possessed beforehand when he should have given up those up to gain said angelic powers, which gives him a large repertoire of magical abilities to fall back on. On top of that, he also retains decades worth of experience as a wandering mercenary and is a Saint, such that he can face off and defeat most foes without relying on his magic. Altogether, this makes him one of the single strongest characters in the series and the second strongest of God's Right Seat, only beaten out by Fiamma of the Right because his specific power is just that broken despite sorely lacking in the physical or experience department.

Felix from Fire Emblem: Three Houses both ties for the third-highest Strength cap (79) and second-highest Strength growth (55%). He's also proficent with three physical weapon types, and while he is a bit Book Dumb (as shown by his weaknesses in Reason and Authority), he is at worst neutral with every other weapon type and all movement types. In-story, he's dedicated to improving both his strength and skill rather than rely on his Crest.

Strong and Skilled / int_22147342	comment	Arrow: Slade Wilson, much like his comic book counterpart. This Slade was The Mentor to Oliver Queen, who would go on to become the World's Best Warrior. However Slade also became an Empowered Badass Normal thanks to being injected with Mirakuru. He was an extremely difficult opponent due to both his top notch skill and his superhuman strength. He was only beaten by being Brought Down to Badass and leveling the playing field, and even then he put up quite a fight. Roy Harper temporarily became this after he was injected with Mirakuru. Already quite a skilled combatant in his own right due to growing up on the streets, he now had inhuman strength to boot. Then Oliver takes Roy under his wing to help him control his strength. After being Brought Down to Badass he retains his skills but his strength has gone back to standard human level. Vigilante is an incredibly formidable opponent, with hand-to-hand combat skills able to rival Oliver and Prometheus, while being The Gunslinger who has Improbable Aiming Skills. However, in Season 6, it's revealed he doesn't operate on skill alone, as he's actually a metahuman with a Healing Factor that lets him survive his most brutal injuries. Oliver himself would ascend to this in Crisis On Infinite Earths after he becomes The Spectre, making him the most powerful hero in the multiverse. Oliver already being a contender for World's Best Warrior ends up an Empowered Badass Normal when he gets granted the god-like Reality Warper powers of the Spectre, making him a Person of Mass Destruction on multiversal levels. Not only is he able to fight evenly against the Anti-Monitor (the closest the series has to an The Anti-God) but he's able to recreate the destroyed multiverse.

Strong and Skilled / int_2664f44a	comment	Like a Dragon: Yakuza 3: Yoshitaka Mine displays borderline superhuman strength, agility, and skill with his Mixed Martial Arts-based fighting style. He's possibly the only opponent to go toe-to-toe with a completely uninjured and unhindered Kiryu and still leave him bruised, bloodied, and exhausted despite still losing against him. It helps that he is one of the only characters who is shown devoting time and effort to training instead of getting by on experience and raw power alone, as he is seen in his personal gym with weights and a heavy bag. This fits his character, having had to work hard his whole life to get anywhere. Like a Dragon: Ishin!: Nagakura Shinpachi, Captain of the Shinsengumi's Second Division, is a wall of muscle and a head taller than the people around him, as well as a fully trained master of Tennen Rishin Ryu.

His continued experience battling super criminals on his world, combined with the natural benefits of being....well, Superman, lets him defeat Black Adam, Sinestro (with almost no effort that time) and Doomsday all in a short time before manhandling and defeating his Regime counterpart quite handily. He's especially this compared to Injustice Superman, who's characterised in the prequel comics as something of an arrogant buffoon with his powers, to the point of being outright contemptuous of Batman trying to get him to train and so unskilled as a result that, at least to start with, ANY hero or villain dosed on the special Kryptonian Nanotech Pill had a decent shot at beating him in a fight.

Strong and Skilled / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: While all of Team RWBY are exceptionally skilled fighters, most of them are within the physical limits of normal humans in terms of strength and durability. The exception to this is Yang Xiao Long, who has Super-Strength, a powerful Aura, and a Semblance that increases her strength even beyond normal when she takes damage. Yang was originally Unskilled, but Strong, relying too much on her strength and Semblance, and had very little defensive skill. She broke out of that trope in Volume 4, when Taiyang explained the weakness in her fighting style and taught her to defend herself properly; now she can fight properly with her gauntlets and defend herself, and her Semblance is strictly a fallback. This is best displayed in the final episodes of the sixth volume, where she takes advantage of Adam's emotional unraveling and baits him to go all out attacking her, and using the resulting dust cloud to obscure the activation of her Semblance, which allows her to disarm Adam and punch him hard enough to drain his Aura, leaving him completely defenseless. Cinder Fall became this upon stealing the power of the Fall Maiden from its previous host, Amber. As Qrow explains to Ruby and co., Amber lost to Cinder because she was young and inexperienced; while she had great power, she couldn't use it effectively. When Cinder acquires the power, she's able to use it to vastly greater effect than Amber ever could. Raven Branwen is an even more blatant example than Cinder as of "Downfall." She's a trained Huntsman/thief, and is the current Spring Maiden; on top of that, she's far more experienced with her powers than Cinder is. Throughout their fight, the only time Cinder manages to put Raven on the defensive is when she tries to use her Grimm arm to drain Raven's powers. Maria Calavera: She was born during a time when the Huntsmen Academies were only just getting up and running. Her father didn't really classify as one so she only knew him as an "old soldier". She was trained by her father instead of going to the academies, but when she took the Huntsman licensing exam, she got higher marks than anyone else. Despite her considerable abilities, she is eventually targeted because of her rare Silver Eyes power - a danger to the Grimm and thus Salem, the Big Bad of the series. The assassin, Tock, is so focused on completing her mission to destroy the threat of the silver eyes power that Maria possesses that she doesn't take account of Maria's training or Semblance at all. When she blinds Maria, Maria is able to use the gravity Dust built into her twin weapons and her Preflexes Semblance to understand their relative positions. It allows her to recall her fallen weapon back to the weapon she's holding, which impales Tock in the back because Tock is standing in the flight path. Maria is then able to decapitate Tock, despite being completely blind. Maria emphasizes to Ruby that it doesn't matter what she can do with the silver eyes power, Ruby must always think of her training and her Semblance as her most powerful tools â€” those are what saved Maria's life.

Strong and Skilled / int_41b0198a	comment	There are many examples in The Dresden Files, but the worst is probably the Skinwalker in the eleventh book, Turn Coat. A Native American shapeshifting monster, it can turn into any number of monstrous and clawed creatures and is terrifyingly strong. But it can also use magic, is happy to retreat if the numbers aren't good, and will wait for the right moment to strike. Dresden finally corners it with too tempting a bait and lures it into a knock-down fight, and when he finally catches it in a choking spell, it simply remembers to draw a circle around itself to break the connection.

Strong and Skilled / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring: Most of the scarier boss fights are that way because the boss is both a terrifyingly powerful demigod and an exceptionally skilled fighter. Starscourge Radahn has completely lost his mind to the Scarlet Rot when you fight him, and he's still a good archer, a Gravity Master good enough to affect the very stars, a skilled swordsman, and a near 30-ft giant on top of that. It gives a good indicator of what kind of Magic Knight he was when he could make full use of his mental talents as well as his physical ones. Of course, the crowning example is Malenia, Blade of Miquella. She's super strong, fast, and tough, with sufficient physical strength to swing her 165-pound sword at supersonic speeds (imparting enough energy to slice a light tank in half), generate hundreds of tons of force with her legs to dash at 200+ mph, and meet the much-larger Radahn in a Blade Lock, but most of her threat comes from just how good a swordswoman she is. She has a very diverse moveset that includes several normal attacks, some singularly nasty super moves, and moves that give her hyperarmor, as well as feints, dodges, and deflects, unique among the game's bosses. Her signature move, the Waterfowl Dance, has her expertly throwing several dozen sword slashes in under five seconds, with such dexterity and speed that her sword arm appears invisible to the naked eye. She can also dodge ranged attacks and leap across her arena with both Waterfowl Dance and her standard dashes, just in case you thought you could stay safe by ranging her.

Strong and Skilled / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth, thanks to being born with JENOVA cells is superhuman enough to slice gigantic steel cannon barrels apart and effortlessly kill Kaiju-sized sand cobras. But he's also a trained 1st Class SOLDIER, who's an expert in hand to hand combat, magic and of course a Master Swordsman. Cloud thanks to being exposed to Mako and infused with Jenova Cells has superhuman prowess. In remake we see him able to effortlessly smash small Shrina robots with the flat of his BFS, casually lift slabs of concrete and steel without help and in Advent Children carry The Big Guy Barret with one arm as seen and in general slice massive monsters and building-sized rubble telekinetically thrown by Sephiroth apart. This all helped by having Zack's False Memories and 1st Class SOLDIER training. Although even with the basic infantrymen training Cloud was strong and skilled enough to wield to Buster Sword, run Sephiroth through with it and even lift and throw said Big Bad into the reactor (while impaled). Tifa thanks to being trained by Zangan has gained Charles Atlas Superpower, being strong enough to lift and piledrive massive super bosses and in the remake she effortlessly kicks around monsters like Eligor and can support Cloud's entire body weight with one arm. Besides her physical might Tifa is a spectacular martial artist whom can keep up with SOLDIERS and in the remake is able channel her Chi into attacks. In the finale of the remake, Tifa smashes a massive chunk of building in half with a somersault kick to save Cloud and can fight Sephiroth in close quarters, alongside her love interest. Zack is just as strong and skilled as Cloud if not even more so. This was especially seen in the Last Order: Final Fantasy VII, where even without the Buster Sword he takes on a platoon of men, and with just punches and kicks shatter their helmets and armour to pieces all while deftly dodging bullets.

His closest ally, Kamen Rider Cross-Z, is a straighter example, as he starts out a professionally trained boxer and keeps up with Build's more advanced weapons and armor all throughout the show simply by getting stronger and more skillful. The Big Bad is another example, an alien Planet Eater who hasn't let his status as one of the strongest beings in the universe keep him from developing enough fighting skills that even losing most of his powers doesn't cripple him.

The Resident Evil Main Characters have become this as the games became more action-packed. Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy display crazy martial arts skills with Chris employing boxing, kickboxing, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Leon utilising Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Pro-Wrestling, Jujitsu and Russian Systema. Both Chris and Leon also perform borderline superhuman feats and are very crafty and experienced in combat against B.O.Ws. When they fought hand to hand in Resident Evil 6, they matched each other perfectly and were forced to draw guns on each other. Jill Valentine already had peak human ability with Taekwondo, Tricking and Pro-Wrestling skills. In Resident Evil 5 Jill unwillingly gets a Super Serum which gives her superhuman abilities akin to Wesker. In her fight with Chris and Sheva she gracefully dodges their bullets and effortlessly overpowers Chris and puts him in a chokehold despite being smaller than him. Jake Muller is a mercenary trained in martial arts and guns and possesses an enhanced physiology he inherited from his father Albert Wesker.

Strong and Skilled / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Steve Rogers/Captain America is a Super-Soldier imbued with superhuman physiology and is an expert hand-to-hand combatant as well. Cap also becomes more and more of Combat Pragmatist as the movies go on, Word of God also reveals Steve studied modern martial arts during his time unfrozen in the 21st century. Tony Stark/Iron Man started off as Unskilled, but Strong, relying on the raw physical power of his Powered Armor, but he started receiving Boxing Lessons for Superman so he wouldn't be defenseless outside of the suit. Later films show even outside of the suit he's a Badass Normal capable of putting up a fight against Winter Soldier using his fighting skills and a few gadgets he had on him. Combined with his most advanced suit, he proved to be one of the few Avengers that could stand up to Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, even making the Mad Titan bleed. Thor: Ragnarok reveals Thor previously didn't have mastery over his Shock and Awe powers and needed Mjolnir to channel it. He eventually learns to tap into his full power, where his usage of lightning is devastating and had him completely demolishing Hela's army. The same movie reaffirms him to already be this in general combat, strong enough to trade blows with Hulk but with millennia of experience fighting superhuman aliens, he was winning until outside forces cheated. From the same movie there's also Hela, who is strong enough to crush Mjolnir in her bare hand and skilled enough to throw her blades with killer accuracy into major Asgardian heroes. Thousand years worth of combat (before Thor was even born) has ensured Hela can't be beaten in a physical confrontation and Thor and co need Surtur to obliterate Asgard to kill her for real. Vision invokes this due to his superior strength, speed, durability, and intangibility combined with a Benevolent A.I. computer intellect. Vision easily overpowers the likes of Hawkeye and even Giant-Man, and even when wounded and depowered Vision held his own and killed Corvus Glaive. Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier has enhanced physiology and a concrete crushing cybernetic arm in addition to decades of experience as a Professional Killer. It's very telling in his debut movie only Cap could match Bucky in combat while everyone else (including Black Widow and Falcon) get trounced by him. However when faced with genuine superhumans, rather than just Badass Normals in Civil War Bucky does struggle immensely. T'Challa/Black Panther is not only a skilled martial artist and brilliant strategist, but he also ingested the heart-shaped herb that grants him enhanced strength, speed, and durability. In his debut movie, T'challa easily overpowers aforementioned Bucky and relentlessly hunts him down and even manages to defeat Bucky in his Winter Soldier mode, despite not wearing his Vibranium Suit. In his solo movie T'challa when Brought Down to Normal overpowers M'Baku through sheer skill and in the climax T'challa exploits the Vibranium's weakness to sonic frequencies to land the killing blow on his similarly armored and superpowered cousin Killmonger.

Its what you get when you see two burly guys - one an unskilled brawler and the other a martial artist - fight against each other. As of Spider-Man: Far From Home MCU's Peter Parker has finally reached this trope (though he's still learning), prior to Far From Home Spidey relied on his physical strength, agility, and durability to overwhelm foes while leaving his Spider-Sense "Peter tingle" (his best power) undeveloped, due to not trusting it. This led to experienced opponents such as the aforementioned Cap, Thanos, and even The Vulture being able to soundly overpower Spidey once they figured out his movements. However in the Final Battle in Far From Home Peter decides to focus on his senses to bypass Mysterio's illusions, fake environment, and drones. Upon closing his eyes Spidey quickly turns what was a grueling fight, into a One-Man Army Curb-Stomp Battle as Mysterio's More Dakka fails spectacularly to even touch Peter. If that wasn't enough Mysterio uses another illusion to pretend to surrender while he sneaks up behind Peter invisible, only for Peter to sense his presence and grab the gun Mysterio was going to shoot him with at point-blank range. Danny Rand from Iron Fist. Unlike the other Defenders who are either Unskilled, but Strong (Jessica and Luke) or Weak, but Skilled (Matt), Danny has both extensive martial arts training and the raw power to back it up. His Iron Fist technique actually makes him the second strongest Defender after Luke, while his fighting skill is only just behind Matt. Luke Cage himself is actually also a man with vast martial arts expertise, in addition to his powers, although in his case he has to hold back so much he is reduced to using childishly simplistic movements when fighting non-powered opponents, making him seem Unskilled, but Strong when he really is this trope. Subverted in Season 2, when Bushmaster shows him he has a long way to go.

He is also descended from a race of divinely-powered warriors and can manifest green energy that boosts his strength and speed. These powers allowed him to defeat the fallen elder god Shinnok. Cassie Cage is Johnny's daughter and thus shares his mystical powers. She is also a trained special forces officer and like her father before her has defeated Shinnok. Major Jax Briggs was a tough and well trained special forces officer even before he got his super strong Artificial Limbs. As a human, Scorpion was one of the best warriors and assassins of the Shirai Ryu ninja clan. After being killed by the original Sub-Zero and resurrected as a demonic specter, he gained the power to teleport to and from the Netherealm and control Hellfire. The first and second Sub-Zeroes qualify. Both are great martial artists who are blessed with ice powers that they have mastered quite well. The first Sub-Zero defeated Shinnok long before either Johnny and Cassie did and the second has beaten Scorpion. All of the Edenian characters would qualify as they have a millennia's worth of fighting experience and mystical abilities thanks to their divine heritage. Special mention goes to Kitana, the princess of Edenia, her friend and bodyguard Jade and Taven, Daegon and Rain, the sons of the Edenian protector god Argus. Goro the prince of the Shokan race is Outworld's mightiest warrior and he became champion of Mortal Kombat after beating the Great Kung Lao, something Shang Tsung failed to do in his prime. Thanks to his incredible strength, speed, and skill he holds the record for the most consecutive Mortal Kombat tournament victories. Liu Kang is a shaolin monk who has trained in martial arts all his life and is the two time Earthrealm Champion of Mortal Kombat having defeated Goro and Shao Kahn. Mortal Kombat 11 has him become the God of Fire and Thunder thanks to Raiden.

He also outwitted an Evil Genius like Vizzini in a battle of wits making him a Genius Bruiser as well, Inigo believes if the Man in Black combined his talent with his own and Fezzik's they'd be an unstoppable trio, which is proved to be correct.

The Spartan IVs don't quite match up to the Spartan IIs physically except in size, but the majority of them were trained and experienced combat veterans before getting the physical upgrades; they also possess even better armor. Spartan IIIs, at least the ones we see among Noble Team in Halo: Reach, could give Chief and other Spartan IIs a run for their money, being given similar enhancements and training so that they're more than capable of taking on literally thousands of Covenant forces. The Player Character Noble Six is strong enough to punch an Elite Zealot in the face and is a skilled pilot as well as a skilled soldier. Elites (Sangheili), besides having superior alien strength, are very intelligent warriors, as well as skilled tacticians with a samurai-like disposition to combat. They're certainly this compared to the Brutes (Jiralhanae), who, barring a few exceptions, are mostly savage Dumb Muscle.

Strong and Skilled / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: Amethyst and Pearl focus on Force and Finesse, respectively. By comparison, their leader Garnet has a similar level of skill as Pearl, further augmented by precognition, and can easily overpower Amethyst. Although by fusion standards, Garnet is closer to Weak, but Skilled. As the Ultimate Quartz, Jasper is one of the strongest gems alive and is considered the perfect soldier, to the point that she's miles beyond ordinary quartzes like Amethyst. This, coupled with her skills as a fighter, mean that practically no one but Fusions and Lapis with access to Earth's oceans have been able to match her. Rose Quartz, Steven's mother, was said to be a highly skilled warrior and was shown and implied to be incredibly strong and tough by the standards of any normal Quartz, and had a wide variety of powers and knew how to use them to her advantage. However, she was Weak, but Skilled compared to the other Diamonds. Steven Quartz Universe's abilities grow in power and variety over the series, and after Connie becomes Pearl's apprentice, he's inspired to train to actually use them effectively and creatively in combat. By the third season, he's able to match seasoned warrior like Amethyst or Bismuth with technique, not by simply overpowering them. By Steven Universe: The Movie, his powers are likely much stronger than the other Crystal Gems, but he's able to flawlessly defend against Spinel's wild flurry of blows just by going hand-to-hand. Blue and White Diamond primarily rely on their overwhelming power, with little knowledge or appreciation for physical combat or active defense. Yellow Diamond on the other hand has both overwhelming power and seems much more familiar with actually fighting, quickly overwhelming Blue Diamond the one time they actually fought. This is also the reason why Steven was eventually able to overpower White Diamond. White might be far beyond anything else in the series, but as a 'perfect being' she's never needed to change or grow in any way.

Strong and Skilled / int_7a2e12e5	comment	As of Spider-Man: Far From Home MCU's Peter Parker has finally reached this trope (though he's still learning), prior to Far From Home Spidey relied on his physical strength, agility, and durability to overwhelm foes while leaving his Spider-Sense "Peter tingle" (his best power) undeveloped, due to not trusting it. This led to experienced opponents such as the aforementioned Cap, Thanos, and even The Vulture being able to soundly overpower Spidey once they figured out his movements. However in the Final Battle in Far From Home Peter decides to focus on his senses to bypass Mysterio's illusions, fake environment, and drones. Upon closing his eyes Spidey quickly turns what was a grueling fight, into a One-Man Army Curb-Stomp Battle as Mysterio's More Dakka fails spectacularly to even touch Peter. If that wasn't enough Mysterio uses another illusion to pretend to surrender while he sneaks up behind Peter invisible, only for Peter to sense his presence and grab the gun Mysterio was going to shoot him with at point-blank range.

Strong and Skilled / int_7cf5a07	comment	The Flash (2014): Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash. Due to his years worth of experience as a speedster over Barry Allen, Thawne would always have an edge over his nemesis in battle. Thawne had dedicated his life to unlocking the secrets of the Speed Force, while also finding means of amping up his speed such as with the Tachyon Prototype. Even when Thawne was temporarily Brought Down to Badass by a Power Nullifier Trick Arrow, he was still able to fight evenly with Oliver Queen (who at that stage was the World's Best Warrior) using hand-to-hand skill alone. However, Barry eventually becomes quite a bit faster than him. Hunter Zolomon/Zoom. Like Reverse-Flash, Zoom is far more experienced as a speedster than Barry and is able to teach him tricks like throwing lightning. His speed is also worthy of boasting, given he has been heavily accumulating it due to abuse of the Velocity speed drug. Savitar. He's the fastest speedster to ever appear on the show, and being trapped in the Speed Force, Savitar has learned countless tricks of the trade that allow him to overpower his opponents. Barry Allen/The Flash himself eventually becomes this, after years of experience as a speedster he's learnt all the tricks of the trade and remains the Fastest Man Alive after several speed boosts.

Strong and Skilled / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: The original Kamen Rider was a genius with an estimated IQ of 600, as well as a proficient athlete and martial artist, before Shocker turned him into a cyborg powerful enough to survive being at ground zero of a nuclear bomb. Kamen Rider Kabuto is both the strongest of the Riders and by far the most skillful, and he knows it. Very little throughout the show actually challenges him, not even a perfect clone of him. Kamen Rider Gaim and his rival Baron spend long enough low on the totem pole that they develop better fighting skills than everyone else to compensate, and then get more and more power throughout the show so that by the final episode each of them is a Physical God capable of tearing through an army of monsters as nothing but a warmup to their actual final showdown with each other. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid swings between being the strongest and weakest Rider throughout the course of the show due to its Lensman Arms Race, eventually settling on the position of strongest. In all forms, however, he's by far the most skilled fighter of the main Riders, capable of defeating opponents far above his level. The only other Rider with comparable or even better skills is Parado, his Enemy Without, who also commands one of the most powerful forms in the show. Kamen Rider Build is an unusual example, as while his fighting skills are mostly just average rather than pointed to as exceptional, being a Science Hero makes him by far the most adaptable, capable of building whatever tool he needs to deal with the problem in front of him. His closest ally, Kamen Rider Cross-Z, is a straighter example, as he starts out a professionally trained boxer and keeps up with Build's more advanced weapons and armor all throughout the show simply by getting stronger and more skillful. The Big Bad is another example, an alien Planet Eater who hasn't let his status as one of the strongest beings in the universe keep him from developing enough fighting skills that even losing most of his powers doesn't cripple him. Kamen Rider Saber ends with a Boss Rush against the former masters of the Sword of Logos, resurrected as zombies with even greater physical strength than they had in their prime, as well as mastery of every sword technique and elemental ability that the heroes know since they were the creators of those styles. Defeating them requires the modern Riders to come up with numerous new techniques on the spot, and even with that, two-thirds of the party die in the process.

Texas very nearly claims the role of World's Best Warrior within the world's setting. While she is also a Glass Cannon, she's so good at what she does that she's The Ace amongst an already impressive group consisting of one man armies! Agent Carolina is a particular stand out amongst her fellow freelancers in that she's very amazing in combat and is capable of putting together some impressive strategies when she puts her mind to it, but seems to also keep her skills regulated to combat compared to Texas, who has a more broad spectrum of skills. That said, she still can kick major ass when she puts her mind to it. An interesting variation as the Elite Mooks of the Insurrection are both tougher than their freelancer counterparts, and are capable of keeping up with the likes of Carolina and Maine while doing serious damage, but they for the most part aren't quite as skilled as the Freelancers themselves.

Robert Baratheon is said to have towered over lesser men, with the physique of a woman's fantasy, and was also one of the best fighters of his era, leading his armies from the front line. When Strongboar boasts that he would like to face Sandor Clegane in single combat, Jaime believes that it's a foolish idea. While Strongboar shares Sandor's enormous strength, he lacks the man's speed, skill and savagery. Gregor Clegane, despite being the Dumb Muscle for the Lannister army, is both the World's Strongest Man as well as a knight and a veteran of many battles. While dueling against the cagier and cannier Oberyn, Tyrion is forced to admit that Gregor still has all the instincts of an experienced fighter, such as moving to put the sun at his back to gain an advantage.

Strong and Skilled / int_9db1766a	comment	Devil May Cry: Dante's demonic heritage grants him a plethora of amazing powers such as Super-Strength, Super-Speed, Super-Reflexes, and a Healing Factor. He's also an expert marksman and Multi-Melee Master. His various powers and skills have served him well in his occupation as a demon hunter, allowing him to defeat powerful demons such Mundus and Argosax. Vergil, Dante's brother, also counts; he has similar powers to Dante and is also a Master Swordsman and Iaijutsu Practitioner, having beaten Dante at least once. This is emphasized in Devil May Cry 5 when he splits himself into the Weak, but Skilled V and the Unskilled, but Strong Urizen. The former has plenty of fancy techniques, but lacks the raw power to take on the truly massive demons running around. The latter meanwhile has far less finesse, but the sheer power in his possession lets him overwhelm most foes easily. When Dante finally closes and surpasses the power gap with Urizen, he quickly gets the upper hand in their battle even when Urizen manages to power up even further, whereas the recompleted Vergil, despite likely not being too much stronger than Urizen due to how weak V was in comparison, can still fight Dante to a draw. While not as powerful as Dante, Trish is a demon with lightning powers, super strength and skill in martial arts, knives and guns. She is also one of the few able to wield the Devil Sword Sparda. Lucia, the Deuteragonist from the second game is an artificial demon created by the villain Arius and is also a trained fighter and demon hunter like Dante. Nero was Unskilled, but Strong in his debut compared to Dante, having one style and weapon compared to Dante's small armory. His depiction in Devil May Cry 5 sees more variety in his arsenal as a result of losing the Devil Bringer and gaining Devil Breakers built by his new friend and colleague Nico. He also unlocks an upgraded version of his Devil Trigger allowing him to defeat his father Vergil.

Strong and Skilled / int_9ff4a8d9	comment	Godzilla: Godzilla vs. Kong: Mechagodzilla was designed to be able to rival and attempt to surpass Godzilla in power, with a 460-foot metallic body that's armed to the teeth with the Proton Scream, missile launchers, thrusters and plasma punches. It's also able to use and maneuver its body in an uncannily human-like manner, and once it gains a mind of its own, it seems to know everything about how to use its body and onboard weaponry against its foes whilst exhibiting an almost trained-looking humanoid fighting style in close quarters â€“ this is especially impressive since the Titan which Mechagodzilla's soul originally came from was a three-headed, winged Armless Biped, with a very different body plan and abilities. The Mecha proves to be one of the more powerful foes that both Godzilla and Kong have ever fought, coming very close to killing both of them even after they team up with each-other against it (albeit partly because Godzilla and Kong were already heavily exhausted in advance of fighting the Mecha). Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex: Godzilla is presented here as being powerful enough to casually handle the Gigans, and skilled enough to dodge, catch and parry their attacks when he wants to.

Normally, Berserkers are Unskilled, but Strong, trading their weapon proficiencies for ungodly boosts in raw power, but the Zero Berserker has a Skill called Eternal Arms Mastery that lets him use his full weapon skills even when berserking, and a Noble Phantasm called Knight of Owner that allows him to wield anything he grabs onto as a weapon at maximum proficiency. Even Gilgamesh can't do much better than slow him down. In the end, Berserker is killed by mana deprivation when his Master can't keep his summoning going — he remains undefeated in actual combat.

Ranma Saotome is a teen martial arts prodigy who has been training in Supernatural Martial Arts his entire life. The result is that he is not only an incredibly adaptable and skilled warrior, but many times stronger, faster and more agile than a human being. Shan Pu has the same basic background as Ranma Saotome, but she also gets transformed into a half-gozu, thus boosting her already formidable levels of Super-Strength.

He supplements his powers with advanced hand-to-hand skills (presumably taught by Six), impressive aim with projectiles and is surprisingly adept at planing and improvisation.

Strong and Skilled / int_b5346b9f	comment	White Sheep (RWBY): When he's not using his Grimm powers, Jaune is Unskilled, but Strong; he can rarely hit his opponent or dodge an attack, but he's so ridiculously tough that he can usually just keep fighting until his opponent is worn out. However, when he is using his Grimm powers, Juane is a Lightning Bruiser with Super-Strength and Super-Toughness above what he possesses in human form, four Combat Tentacles that he uses to devastating effect, and a lot of experience from spars with his sisters (part of his problem with fighting in human form is that he actively has to stop from using his Grimm powers). When he gets locked in an Unstoppable Rage he fights all of Team RYBN at once and nearly kills them, and is only stopped by Ruby's Silver Eye powers activating early. Adam is one of the strongest characters in the series, and is one of the only people who is able to fight Jaune in Grimm form at an even level. He boasts that raw, uncontrolled strength is worthless, which is why the White Fang will win. Whether he could have actually killed Jaune is unclear, because Jaune wasn't uncontrolled—he was just stalling for Kevin to arrive. And no matter how skilled Adam is, against a giant Grimm dragon he's just a man with a pointy stick. General Ironwood has half his body replaced with cutting-edge cybernetics, and is also able to fight Jaune in Grimm form. Though it turned out to just be a show so that they could fake a war, Jaune does complain that Ironwood hits hard.

Steve, in addition to being a Super-Soldier, also has years of combat experience, Thor is not just a Physical God and Flying Brick with Shock and Awe powers, but he is an expert in using those powers with 1,500 years of experience, rather than just throwing lightning around here and there, Tony is both a Gadgeteer Genius and excellent pilot of his armor, and so on. Magneto also definitely qualifies for this trope, being both a complete master of one of the fundamental forces of the universe, but having also taken Boxing Lessons for Superman (including multiple science degrees) that allow him to do all sorts of cool stuff with electromagnetism. Harry is very slowly growing into this trope, thanks to Boxing Lessons for Superman from a variety of mentors (including the previously mentioned Magneto). Though he's Unskilled, but Strong by the end of Book 1, as Book 2 goes along he proves himself able to go mind-to-mind in a telepathic duel with one of the most powerful human psychics ever born, then makes an excellent showing against Physical God and Vampire Monarch Dracula, himself very much an example of this trope. By Book III, even when functionally limited to telekinesis and his Cool Sword at this point subbing for a lightsabre - he's pretending to be Obi-Wan Kenobi for reasons that actually make sense in context, he's capable of duelling a pissed off Lobo to a standstill.

It's very telling in his debut movie only Cap could match Bucky in combat while everyone else (including Black Widow and Falcon) get trounced by him. However when faced with genuine superhumans, rather than just Badass Normals in Civil War Bucky does struggle immensely.

Strong and Skilled / int_e7a27429	comment	The Bridge often has some of its most powerful cast being both greatly powerful as a base but have training and experience to make them even more dangerous than someone who's Unskilled, but Strong. Godzilla Junior and Monster X are both powerhouses in terms of kaiju due to well above average strength, durability, and energy attacks; but what really makes them so powerful is the fact they know how to fight. Junior due to raw experience and tutelage under King Kong and Monster X is a trained martial artist due to once being an Xilian Super-Soldier. Princess Celestia has more raw magical and physical ability than any other pony in Equestria and personal training from the Founders of Equestria in how to use her powers, then a full thousand years to keep sharp. Princess Luna has similar raw stats but is the weaker of the two due to less experience. This is ultimately the difference between Grand King Ghidorah and Kaizer Ghidorah. Grand King Ghidorah has enormous fire power and abilities, but never trained or got many real battles across his lifetime. Kaizer Ghidorah is very close in terms of power but has all of Monster X's training and knows how to fight.

This connection is what causes Todoroki to see Izuku as a kindred spirit and to quickly try to make friends with him. This makes Izuku feel even more like a fraud, as his "training" mainly consisted of games that he would play with his father as a child and never turned physically abusive.

Strong and Skilled / int_ed2a7866	comment	Sword Art Online: Kirito qualifies during the Aincrad arc. He has extremely high stats to use in combat, as well as the knowledge and skill to make the best of them due to having prior experience as a beta-player. The fact he was granted the unique skill Dual Wielding is proof that he has the fastest reaction time or of all they played in the game. It gets downplayed in later seasons when he tries new games using his old avatar, where he retains his stats but lacks the experience which makes him Unskilled, but Strong. Although even this is up in the air, as he does retain his skill with the sword from previous games which he can use in the new environment of an unfamiliar game. There's also the fact Kirito has an impressive ability to master a new game very early and will quickly ascend the ranks despite only playing for a few days. Asuna started off as Unskilled, but Strong, having never gamed in her life before, but was immediately shown to be exceptionally fast and strong, with speed that even Kirito had trouble keeping up with. However, after the two year Time Skip, her fierce dedication to clearing the game granted her extensive skill and experience, where she ends up as the second/third best player in SAO, being only below Kirito and Heathcliff. Heathcliff/Kayaba is the Game Master of SAO, and thus has OP admin privileges. And since he was the one who created the game, no one understands the game's mechanics better than he does. Even after voluntarily turning off his admin privileges and leveling the playing field, he's still able to hold his own against Kirito and would have beaten him if it wasn't for a combination of blind luck and The Power of Love. Most members of the Aincrad Assault Team are also this, such as Klein and Agil. While falling short of Kirito and Asuna, these players are among the elite and have extensively honed their skills and stats, as well as surviving just as much punishment along the way. Leafa/Suguha is an odd example. In the context of the series, she actually falls into this in real life. She's a national level kendo champion, which gives her impressive physical abilities on top of the combat skill that all her gamer friends possess. Interestingly in-game she's actually Weak, but Skilled as her stats are much lower than Kirito,note Because of Kirito's previous stats from SAO being integrated into his ALO character. but her real-life talents in kendo completely make up for this. In Ordinal Scale she had to be sidelined for most of the film because she would have resolved the plot immediately compared to her friends who are lacking in physical attributes. Sinon, to a degree. She's a prodigy at Gun Gale Online where she quickly garnered the reputation as the greatest sniper in the game. Her sniper rifle, Hecate II is one of the most powerful weapons in the game and capable of inflicting incredible damage. She's also able to show off her vast knowledge about the game to the then inexperienced Kirito. However, Sinon sometimes falls into being Weak, but Skilled, as she's a Glass Cannon who can dish out a lot of damage, but has little in the way of close-range melee combat. This is especially evident when she starts playing ALO, where she's only had her account for two weeks with flimsy stats to go along with it, but her precision is so exceptional that she has Improbable Aiming Skills with a bow and arrow. General Eugene who is said to be (at the time) the World's Best Warrior of ALO. It is noted that he's equally skilled and strong as Kirito during their duel, however he's able to gain the advantage with his superior equipment. It takes Kirito using several sneaky tacticsnote a smokescreen, stealthily grabbing a second sword, and using the sun to impair vision for Kirito to be victorious. Yuuki, who boasts the feat of winning 77 consecutive duels, as well as the only player to best Kirito in combat. This is attributed to her full diving 24/7, therefore having more virtual experience than anyone else, including SAO survivors. Kirito said her speed was so impressive that if she was in SAO, she would have received the Dual Wielding unique skillnote granted to the player with the fastest reaction time rather than Kirito. Even entering a new game, she's so familiar with the mechanics that it's second nature to her, and quickly usurps whoever previously held the title of the strongest player. Proof of her skill comes from her developing the 11-hit Original Sword Skill Mother's Rosario. Death Gun/Sterben. Like Kirito he has the swordsmanship skills from his times in SAO, but overall he's equipped with much better gear due to Shouichi paying an extensive amount of money to fit him with the best, as well as making a crudely-built estoc, which is much more suited to his style than Kirito's Photon Sword. Quinella originally seems to just be Unskilled, but Strong given her preference for using her god-like Administration powers and her mastery of the Sacred Arts over actually fighting, but when she finally decides to throw down with Kirito she proves her mastery of sword combat is nearly as impressive. Throughout the fight she's able to hold her own and even able to thrash him at several points with Sword Skills despite him using her Achilles' Heel, Dual Wielding, and herself down an arm from Eugeo's actions earlier. It ultimately takes him sacrificing one of his own arms to take her remaining one before he can open up a finishing strike. Gabriel Miller. Not only does he have a powerful Incarnation, he's as skilled as one would expect from a modern soldier, as shown in his GGO fights where he's an expert in using knives and firearms. He is also able to see the weaknesses in Aincrad's unarmed combat style, which puts Kirito at a disadvantage when fighting him this way. However, he's less skilled with swords and other weapons that generally aren't used in modern warfare.

Strong and Skilled / int_f10a65b	comment	Legends of Tomorrow: Ray Palmer/Atom was once firmly Unskilled, but Strong, relying on the superior power of his Powered Armor to overwhelm enemies, but skilled enough opponents like Oliver and Thawne were capable of bypassing his suit's powers and disabling it. So he ended up taking Boxing Lessons for Superman and gets rudimentary fight ability even when he's outside the suit. Jefferson "Jax" Jackson, who is one half of the superhero Firestorm. Among the Legends, Firestorm is one of (if not the most) powerful hero on their team with his Flying Firepower abilities. But even without his powers, Jax is quite skilled in street brawling and proves to be a Badass Normal in his own right. Vandal Savage is an immortal, which makes him very difficult to kill. But he's also spent his millennia-long lifespan amassing knowledge in many forms of combat, making him an extremely dangerous enemy. He's also sometimes depicted with Super-Strength although this is a bit inconsistent. Amaya Jiwe/Vixen has been granted incredible physical power thanks to the Anansi Totem, but even without it she is still a Badass Normal with a fifth-degree black belt and expert in handling a wide assortment of weapons.

In addition, he's an excellent fighter, having personally killed two past Slayers. While facing off against Illyria, a demonic Physical God, he initially gets knocked around by her strength, but over time, he begins to adapt and dodge her blows and gets a few shots in. Illyria disparages him as being weak for adapting and compromising, to which Spike retorts that it is a strength because he's learning. Buffy Summers is largely Taught by Experience. She has the superpowers that come with being the Slayer, and is the oldest, longest-lived one, having achieved numerous victories over such beings as vampires, demons, cyborgs, and even Physical Gods; by the time of Season 5, she's able to defeat groups of almost 20 vampires by herself. Angel is a vampire of over 200+ years, and is thus stronger and faster than an ordinary vampire. He's also a master martial artist and Multi-Melee Master, once beating a group of over 20 vampires and demons by himself.

Strong and Skilled / int_f4abd380	comment	BlazBlue: Bang initially starts out as a case of Weak, but Skilled, having enough skill to hold his own, but not being anywhere near as powerful as most of the cast. As the games went on, he gained enough strength to match himself against the powerhouses of his world (i.e. Ragna, Relius, Azrael), while still maintaining his skill and training. Kagura Mutsuki is the best case of this in the series. Not only is he incredibly strong, to the point where Ragna outright states that he's on the same level as Azrael (and this is while the Embryo is weakening him and the other entitled barring Ragna, Litchi, and Nine, mind you), but he also boasts decades of training and experience throughout his life in the Duodecim, as well as a prolific military career from the Ikaruga Civil War. It's telling that he's the only character with the skill and physical strength to fight Azrael and win. In the later games, Ragna develops into this. He starts out as Unskilled, but Strong, relying heavily on the Azure Grimoire, but after going through an arc of Power Loss Makes You Strong, he comes out of it with far more skill while maintaining his physical strength, being strong and skilled enough to easily defeat Murakumos, stalemate the aforementioned Kagura, and even match Nine, the greatest magic user in the series (and magic is considered pretty overpowered in the BlazBlue world).

Strong and Skilled / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: Sora is initially Unskilled, but Strong, having no formal training with the Keyblade until the events of Dream Drop Distance, but making up for it with his massive willpower and strength of heart. As of the third game, he's become this; in addition to his massive natural strength, he can use the Keyblade's full range of abilities, allowing him to do things like turn it into a large variety of different things such as drills, claws, and a giant tower raining down death on everything around him. Organization XIII (the original incarnation) were the first-most in the series to fully showcase this, especially in their respective boss fights. Each member wields with great efficiency and might a personal weapon and Elemental Attribute that they combine together during the battle to great effect, displaying abilities no other characters in the series are shown to pull off. Riku, Soraâ€™s best friend and closest rival, is this. Heâ€™s shown to be more proficient as a swordsman compared to Sora and also shows proficiency in melee combat and wielding magic. Additionally, unlike most Keyblade wielders, Riku actively calls upon the power of darkness rather than light to aid him in battle, without allowing himself to lose control. In Dream Drop Distance, after finally completing his journey to accept his inner darkness and find his resolve to fight for good, Riku becomes a Keyblade Master. More specifically, the first Keyblade Master to have mastered the darkness as a force for good. Terra-Xehanort (the self Master Xehanort takes on after possessing Terra's body in Birth By Sleep) is this, combining the immense physical strength and innate darkness of Terra's youthful body with the skill, magic proficiency, and combat experience of the elderly Keyblade Master Xehanort in one package. Speaking of the Keyblade Masters, they count as this too, showing theyâ€™re not called â€œMastersâ€� for nothing. Eraqus, despite being about as old as Master Xehanort, remains physically capable enough to keep up with the much younger Terra even after he actively empowers himself with his inner darkness, as well as showing several varied uses of light magic in his boss battle. Mickey was trained by Yen Sid, the same Keyblade Master who trained Eraqus and Xehanort, and it shows. Mickeyâ€™s always recognized as an ace as a Keyblade wielder, as well as having unique powers among the cast, including the spells Stopza and Ultima. Aqua became this over the course of Birth By Sleep after being named a Keyblade Master by Eraqus. She fights with a graceful, fluid sword style and manages to, over the course of her story in-game, master spells that neither Ventus nor Terra can learn. Xehanort falls under this, though, among the Masters of the series, heâ€™s closer to Weak, but Skilled, due to old age having gradually sapped his strength and stamina over time. Even so, he remains physically strong enough to grab Ven in his Keyblade Armor and even crack it with a single hand. His arsenal of abilities is shown to be quite vast as well, including freezing people with a touch, telekinesis, and magic strong enough to overwhelm Mickeyâ€™s. In III, he officially returns to being this trope by having acquired the Ï‡-blade.
