This is a character who, despite being physically weaker than their opponent, is able to beat them because they are more skilled than their opponent. They'll prove Hard Work Hardly Works is a false premise, and even exploit the stronger opponents' sloppy technique and Pride to win. It's not unusual for the Badass Bookworm, and less unusual for The Heart of any team. This is often a sub-trope of Badass Normal.
If the Weak, but Skilled character is The Protagonist or The Hero, they'll usually be an expert at Deadly Dodging, a fast thinker, and generally win through cleverness and strategy that involve dirty fighting and Geo Effects to win. If they aren't, then they're like a Mentor, The Rival, The Lancer or The Smart Guy. They'll usually start out much stronger than the hero overall but won't keep up once the hero starts gaining skill himself in the use of his powers. They'll occasionally bail them out but force them to finish their battles, and urge them to train their power to stop the bad guy, whom this character can't take out because the bad guy is both Strong and Skilled (compare that trope).
A character who grows old and weak will often become this, having decades of experience to compensate for their lack of youth, but this can still be the case if they grow Stronger with Age and thus have nothing to compensate for. This is a common justification for how Badass Normals can keep up with more powerful characters in a setting or inside an ensemble. Death of a Thousand Cuts may also come into play.
It should be noted that "weak" (especially a Paper Tiger class) can be a relative term. The protagonist/hero might have a certain level of Super-Strength and Super-Toughness, but is completely outpowered by his opponent. In this case, the hero's own strength and toughness are what enable him to even hurt the villain and avoid being killed in a single shot, but he needs his brains and skill to ultimately win. If he's a Non-Action Guy, you're looking at a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
Curiously, it is not uncommon for these characters to be the Cold Sniper or an Archer. Since they mostly succeed, at taking out their opponents by mere distance alone. Those with More Dakka or BFS would be wise to take cover, less they risk getting savagely shot down.
Compare with David Versus Goliath, Combat Pragmatist, Difficult, but Awesome and, metafictionally, Cherry Tapping. Contrast Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training. Willfully Weak may be invoked to bring this about. One explanation for the power of a Badass Bystander. Despite their skill, may fall prey to I Don't Know Mortal Kombat. This can be an issue faced by a character that is Well-Trained, but Inexperienced. The rare villainous examples may fall into Villainous Valour, depending on their presentation. For characters with questionably useless powers within the superhero community proving otherwise, see Heart Is an Awesome Power.
Contrast Bigger Stick and Unskilled, but Strong, the latter being the inverse trope. Often achieves Victory by Endurance; Stone Wall is a Downplayed Trope for them.

Worm: Deconstructed with Armsmaster. He is a pure Tinker with no innate physical enhancements or ranged attacks who can nevertheless beat "true" capes through gear and superior skill. However, to be this capable, almost all his free time is spent either training or working on his gear, and he still Can't Catch Up to those who have The Gift like Dauntless. This results in him becoming The Resenter and a Glory Hound.

Sleepless Domain: Undine Wells, the water-wielding member of Team Alchemical, doesn't have as much raw power as her teammates, and her own non-combative nature means her powers lack the "oomph" factor of some other girls. However, her precision and control of her element are apparently well above the standard of most other magical girls. Plus, when it comes to elements, Water is one that is much better used skillfully than powerfully, something that training with Heartful Punch helps her realize.

Buffy:
Ethan Rayne can't take Giles in a fight, but he has a flair for magic-induced chaos.
Giles, meanwhile, is only human, and is routinely punched out by vampires and creamed every time he tries a Training Montage on Buffy; on the other hand he's seemingly familiar with every melee weapon known to man and trained the supremely skilled Buffy in all of them.
As far as credible villains go, Angelus is not on the same scale as the ascended Mayor but he's a Master Vampire who has been in the game for over two hundred years and is powerful enough to stalemate Buffy, an unusually strong Slayer. His greatest asset, however, (aside from a meticulous brand of viciousness that would make The Joker proud) is his inside knowledge of the Scoobies, which he uses to full effect. Among other things, he's got the malicious psychological insight of Hannibal Lecter.
Spike is the youngest non-Villain of the Week Vampire the Scoobies have faced. He's just over a century old, which means while he's a lot stronger than the average human, he's on the low end of the raw strength scale as far as vampires and demons go. He's also killed two Slayers, can beat up the older, stronger, and bulkier Angel on occasion, and is considered one of the most dangerous threats around by the Watcher's Council, all because of his peculiarly sharp brand of insight, adaptability, and willingness to do his research - he understands exactly what makes Slayers tick, and he can cut straight through bullshit by being unsettlingly observant. Buffy outright admits that she can't really lie to him, to her own bemusement, and it makes him an exceptional manipulator when he actually bothers.
This is probably true of all humans who hunt demons and vampires. Humans are the weakest beings in the Buffyverse, and every kind of monster is stronger than a human being.

Samurai Jack: The eponymous protagonist of the show isn't very large or physically powerful, but he's one of the most badass warriors in the entire world because of his mastery of swordsmanship and martial arts from all over the world. One example is the episode where he meets the Scotsman's clan and is forced into a stone-throwing contest to test his worth. Unfamiliar with the sport, he did poorly in the first attempt, but after noting that his mocking opponent was much heavier than the stone, he used a martial arts move of redirecting balance and energy to fling him an equal distance.

Dark Rendezvous:
Scout is a Jedi Padawan. The Force is weak with her; she makes up for it with determination, quick thinking, and endless training. She's got Heroic Resolve in spades and bloody-minded determination, and in a book full of concern about almost every other character maybe one day turning to the Dark Side, no one believes Scout will, not even herself, because she fights so hard to be the best Jedi she can be. Just to drive home the point of how good she was: she survived The Purge that killed most of the full Knights and Masters of the Jedi order. In her non-Dark Rendezvous appearance the author had other Jedi look down on her for having weak powers, but it only takes one line to see that that author was just not doing the research.
It should also be noted that she won the Jedi Apprentice Tournament with Crazy-Prepared Refuge in Audacity tactics that would make Batman proud.

X-Men has a few mutants who fit this trope:
Originally Emma Frost was one of these, being a minor telepathic talent compared to Professor X who nevertheless matched him in skill. As time went on and Frost graduated from her villainous White Queen persona, she began to acquire power along with her skill. Now, thanks to this Power Creep and some Character Shilling she's one of the top telepaths in the X-Men universe.
Magneto has two lieutenants in his Acolytes. One is Exodus, a Superpower Lottery winner writ large, and the other is Fabian Cortez, a guy with the mutant power of... Super-Empowering. One would think on the face of it that Exodus would easily be the more capable leader, until they studied Cortez a bit more closely. Aside from being better educated (due to being a child of royalty), Cortez is also a gifted strategist (believably claims to have studied each and every X-Man), expert martial artist (so much so that he defeated Psylocke the first time they fought) and gifted politician (so much so that Magneto brought him on to be a part of his cabinet on Genosha after Cortez had betrayed and tried to kill him).
Mastermind of the Brotherhood of Mutants is a mutant with weak psychic powers — unlike most Marvel psychics who are capable of telepathy and telekinesis, all Mastermind can do is make illusions. He is, however, extremely good at making illusions.
X-23 is a short and slight teenage girl usually depicted as even smaller than Wolverine. She shares his mutation but only her claws are laced with adamantium, so though she heals faster she's less resistant to injury in the first place. She's still one of the most dangerous fighters in the Marvel Universe because of her extensive combat training (and not just hand-to-hand, either. "Target X" shows her sniping the pilot of a maneuvering helicopter with a perfect headshot). In fact she's such a dangerous fighter despite her physical shortcomings that Marvel: Avengers Alliance actually classifies her as a Bruiser.

While Bun-Bun from Sluggy Freelance is hardly weak, he is still a mini-lop rabbit, and relies on this trope when taking on particularly tough opponents like Mecha Easter Bunny, evil Aylee, Alien Santa Claus, or the dread pirate Black Soul.

In Monsters University, while Mike is incredibly skilled and has the technical knowledge needed to craft a unique scare for each child, he lacks the natural ability and instinct of a true scarer, making him better suited to coach and advise other monsters on how to do their job.

Lucas from Cyber Six, since the enemies in the show are Super Soldiers and monsters created in a lab and he's just a muggle who can box. He holds his own against a Fixed Idea, a creature that can smash bricks with it's bare hands, simply because he's an experienced enough fighter to dodge it's telegraphed moves.

In The 13th Warrior, in order to get the scheming prince to back off, one of the thirteen picks a fight with a younger, bigger, stronger mook. He lets the mook beat him up for a while and very nearly win, then when the mook rushes in for a killing blow, the warrior casually sidesteps it and cuts off his head in one stroke.

Beck from TRON: Uprising definitely qualifies. He has spent a lifetime roof-hopping, dueling, and racing bikes — thus is an exceptionally agile and fast enough to hold his own in protracted battles with Paige and Tesler, who are trained combatants with a lot more power to throw around. Beck rarely wins any battles, but he always gets away. And this all before he officially begins his uprising or gets any form of training.

Angel:
Wesley is easily the physically weakest male member of Angel Investigations. Yet he managed to kill Skip, capture and cage up Justine, and he was the one to face Vail in "Not Fade Away".
While testing Illyria's powers, Spike (who is usually no slouch in the strength department) gets knocked around the room constantly by her godlike strength, commenting that she hits "like a mack-truck". 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 is learning.
Kate knows that she isn't strong enough to fight vampires head-on, so she uses pragmatic tactics to gain the upper hand.
Happens only rarely, but when Fred pulls a fast one, her ingenuity will leave you dizzy.

Miraculous Ladybug:
Every akumatized villain, even the ones with weaker or less flashy powers, can put up a fight against the heroes. Case in point, Troublemaker (whose only power was intangibility) is one of the few villains who actually managed to steal an earring off of Ladybug.
The titular heroes also count. Their Miraculous give each of them superhuman physical ability and their signature weapons, but these are usually eclipsed by the powers many of their opponents are given. While they have their own respective powers, they only get a single use each that puts them on a time limit before they detransform, meaning they have to get creative to make the most out of them.

In the Gentleman Bastard series, Locke Lamora is supposed to be a really bad fighter. The end of the first book mitigates this since he is able to defend himself decently against Capa Raza, who is described as "deadly" with a sword. This is more than compensated by his considerable skills as a con artist, thief, smooth talker and gambit planner.

In Jupiter-Men, Nathan has no superpowers and relies entirely on his technology and rigorous training. He's the only member of the team with any superhero expertise prior to the events of the story, making him the de facto leader and the one everyone looks to for guidance. This is perhaps best demonstrated in Episode 33, where his measured reason and experience lets him instruct the team on how to dismantle the chaos they accidentally caused.

RWBY: Oscar Pine has all the memories of Ozpin, including his fighting skills. However, he doesn't have the muscle memory to put these to effective use, and thus has to train to build up his skill.

Katniss in The Hunger Games is physically an average 16 year old girl who has to fight older and much stronger males and females, but she is a very skilled archer and has excellent survival skills due to years of experience hunting in the wilderness.

In the Shrek movies, Puss in Boots is an excellent fencer, but when he loses his sword he can easily be manhandled by humans or ogres. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish deconstructs this when he's on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle by the much bigger and stronger Wolf, traumatizing him enough to run away every time he sees him

Dragon Ball Z Elsewhere: With no human transformation, Yamcha focused on learning Kaioken and then mastering it with his gravity training. In a fight with Goku, Yamcha showed his Kaioken Kamehameha x40, forcing Goku to go Super Saiyan (a 50x multiplier) to withstand the attack. Even then, Yamcha outright says he can't beat a Super Saiyan. He also loses a sparring match against Piccolo when they train together.

unOrdinary:
Despite John Doe being a "cripple" and having no special ability of his own, he is still able to defend himself from and defeat low and mid-tier individuals with his superior hand-to-hand fighting ability. He's actually faking his "cripple" status, though his father truly has no powers, so he was being willfully weak after government agents essentially crippled his mind to force him to behave after he drew their attention at his old school.
Evie is one of the weakest powered characters, but knows how to use her mild "Illumination" ability to its fullest extent by powering up after clapping her hands over the eyes of her attackers. She's also taking the time to learn martial arts, which she picks up very quickly.

In The Gone-Away World, Wu, the Master of the Voiceless Dragon, is a "soft form" martial artist who does not rely on overwhelming physical strength. The narrator describes him as about 80-years-old and with a limp, yet it's implied that he could easily defeat anyone. The narrator learns the same martial arts style. He's pretty miserable at "hard form" martial arts, yet becomes quite skilled at the Voiceless Dragon style.

Wonder Woman:
Hippolyta, Diana's mother was able to best Heracles through nothing but pure fighting skill and superior tactics. Really, any Amazon that isn't Diana, Donna or Cassie would qualify, at least in theory.
Artemis, Diana's rival, originally wasn't as strong as Diana but can still match her in fighting skill. She served as Diana's replacement for a time following The Contest and once was able to injure the demon lord Neron by making a weapon out her hair and one of the silver skulls on her outfit. Her depiction in the DC Rebirth continuity shows her as much stronger than her original incarnation and retaining her combat training, allowing her to hold her own against Bizarro.
Steve Trevor and Etta Candy have no superpowers instead relying on their military training to help Diana in fighting evil.

Harry Potter:
According to Word of God this is how Professor Quirrell started out. As a kid (and a teacher) he was extremely intelligent but constantly picked on and teased. As an adult, with his self confidence really low he sought out Lord Voldemort to try and defer him and earn some respect, only for it to backfire and for him to become possessed with the undying soul of the dark Lord, subsequently allowing Voldemort to gather in strength and allow for the next seven books to occur..., however, he is shown to be extremely skilled in magic. He's able to use wandless magic, a rare skill among wizards.
Though Hermione is incredibly skilled with spells, she tends to be overwhelmed when she duels more powerful and experienced wizards.
Peter Pettigrew is an interesting example, as there seems to be nothing wrong with his magical skills yet he himself is a wimp.

This trope is how Cutey Honey can fight Dark Kingdom youma and win in Venus Flash: while far weaker than any serious youma, let alone Sailor Venus, she's an experienced fighter that would not hesitate to throw a flamethrower-wielding enemy into an open fire or strip herself as a distraction and used to fight stronger enemies, allowing her to keep up with creative use of her powers.

Alita in Alita: Battle Angel, at least initially. Her body is more ornamental than anything else and while she is agile and retains her skill with the Panzer-Kunst fighting style, she has no built-in weapons of any kind. Dyson expresses surprise that she was able to harm the mountain-sized Grewishka in their first clash. This body falls apart in their second fight because it's too fragile to reach the limits Alita needs it to, and gets replaced by the extraordinary, Martian-built Berserker body afterwards - so she is still a master martial artist, but also the most advanced and powerful cyborg in the whole city. When she meets Grewishka again in the finale, she kills him with ease.

Black Panther is stronger and more agile than a normal human, but is significantly weaker than many of his fellow Avengers. Despite this, he's a Crazy-Prepared tactical genius and one of the few heroic examples of The Chessmaster archetype, making him very effective. He's managed to get the drop on many more powerful opponents, including Mephisto himself.

Ruby Rose in BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant is incredibly adept in scythe combat and is very fast, but her attacks usually lack much force without wind up and she can be knocked out pretty easily. This comes up in her scythe spar with Ragna, where she lands far more hits and dodges many of Ragna's attacks, but Ragna manages to take them all and only needed a few of his attacks to connect for him to win the fight.

Discussed in Swapping The Cage. When Sakura mentions that she has good chakra control and skill to compensate for her lack of power, Kuushou retorts that there comes a point where all the skill in the world can't compensate for a significant gap in power. However, he does agree with her that it's far better to have both skill and power than one or the other.

Karrin Murphy of The Dresden Files. While not exactly physically weak, she's a tiny Badass Normal up against a lot of supernatural creatures who could in theory mop the floor with her. She's an expert martial artist and marksman, makes sure to remember and implement any weaknesses she learns, and is willing and able to improvise — at one point she takes down a chlorofiend (read: plant monster) with a chainsaw.
Anastasia Luccio, the Captain of the Wardens, is this by necessity, due to a body swapping incident with a necromancer. Her new body just doesn't have the same magical talent her old one did, forcing her to constantly conserve her energy with her spells. That being said she can use the same fire spells as Harry as needle-thin beams of extremely precise and intense heat and cast mass-concealing veils to hide people. Harry says that even with the decrease in power he wouldn't want to fight her.
In Ghost Story Harry's apprentice Molly has gotten in on the act—again, she doesn't have nearly Harry's raw destructive power, but she's gained enormous skill in illusions that let her evade and fool multiple attackers at once, sometimes tricking them into killing each other.
The Archive is a human receptacle for all human knowledge, and it is also hereditary, passing from mother to daughter when the previous one dies. The previous Archive died while her daughter was still young, meaning that a young girl is one of the most knowledgeable beings in existence. However she is still physically a child with all the limits that come with that, so she is usually seen in the company of her half-demon bodyguard/chauffeur.
In terms of magical power, Ivy has both skill and power; the Denarians trap her in a circle that cut her off from using more than a tiny fraction of her power and she still held her own against several of them without apparent difficulty. The only way they beat her is by taking advantage of the fact that her small size makes her more vulnerable to things like poison gas.
Some of the Denarians. Their human hosts may not have as much magical potential as a full White Court wizard, but given a few hundred years of practice and the backing of a Fallen Angel, they can use the power they do have VERY effectively.

Discworld has Cohen the Barbarian (and the rest of the Silver Horde). It says a lot about his skills that Cohen is in his eighties, has been a barbarian hero his entire life, and is still alive. Whenever you have five centuries of combat experience distributed among half a dozen guys, expect a lot of this.
Always remember Rule 1: Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man.
In "The Sea And Little Fishes" Mrs Earwig, saying Granny Weatherwax shouldn't enter the Witch Trials because she always wins, suggests Granny should be grateful for her natural talent. Nanny Ogg quickly replies, "I'm the one with natural talent, Esme just works bloody hard." Granny doesn't enter the Witch Trials. Of course, everyone else (except maybe Nanny Ogg) is so widdling-in-their-knickers scared by Granny acting nice that they can't manage to do their own tricks right, and at the end of the day it's just silently acknowledged by everyone that Esme won by using the most subtle Headology trick ever: doing absolutely nothing.
In The Fifth Elephant Vimes takes on three werewolves, one with an axe, and two more, not more than minutes apart, with his bare hands, either of which could have easily killed him had it not been for his absolutely awesome brawling.

The Soulmate Timeline, like in canon Homura who is easily the weakest Magical Girl among her circle, with even Hitomi's potential magical power being greater than her own. However the power she does have, to stop and manipulate time, combined with her massively accumulated arsenal and experience from over a decade of time loops, leaves her more than able to compete with any opponent short of a city-destroying super-witch and win. A less moral reflection of this is the Serial Killer Akasuki Suzembachi, whose also a rather weak Magical Girl, but she's refined how to use the powers she has to have survived as a Magical Girl for decades by grooming and eventually mind controlling younger Magical Girls and harvest them for Grief Seeds. However unlike Homura, her skillset isnt' geared to let her directly fight a stronger Magical Girl, like Mifuyu or Kyoko, one on one.

I Woke Up As a Dungeon, Now What?: With just two floors, one containing a handful of "Small Lesser" bug varieties, the other containing tiny fragile pixies, Taylor's dungeon should be a cake-walk for any experienced adventuring party. That is, if the cake were poisoned, explosive, filled with sharp objects, and actually just a distraction from the ants sneaking up behind you to push you into a 200' pitfall with giant spiderwebs at the bottom, after which a swarm of giant wasps will drop home-made napalm on you. She hasn't lost her canonical multitasking ability, letting her manage every single minion at the same time, and as a dungeon core, she now also controls the terrain, letting her build cliffs, pits, mobile false walls, bugs-only shortcut tunnels, and a host of other tricks and traps that would make Tucker's Kobolds give a respectful salute. Add in her pixies' ability to create short-lived illusions, and her own ability to coordinate a swarm of pixies to cast them in sequence so they're effectively permanent...even individuals as powerful as Ulfric and Karjn quickly conclude that her first floor is a nightmare they never want to experience again.

In Iron Kingdoms the dragon Everblight is the weakest of his kind, but has unmatched skill. While his mighty father relies heavily upon undead because his mere presence sickens and kills the living, Everblight's armies are almost all creatures that he has created or corrupted through his own blight, and is capable of subtle changes such as increasing the birth and maturation rates of his minions. He's even made himself weaker by splitting his athanc into pieces and giving the shards to his commanders, forgoing having a body in favor of improved coordination between his forces.

In the Turning Red fic Turning Red: Secrets of the Panda, Jason Vaugn is not the strongest character in the story, but he's still a fairly skilled fighter who can easily go toe-to-toe with the giant red pandas.

Kage: Jade fits this, at least in comparison to her foes. She only has Casting a Shadow powers, enhanced physical abilities, and an unlimited amount of kunai and shuriken. Her main foes are the Guardians, who all have Elemental Powers. During the capture of Vathek, she is able to keep Irma and Hay Lin too busy dodging her attacks to be able to actually fight.

Kindred Spirits on the Roof:
There's a variation with Kiri when she ends up being chased by her teacher Tsukuyo and her yearmate Yuna. Kiri doesn't have the speed or stamina to outpace Yuna, much less Yuna's friend Hina(a member of the track team), so she resorts to clever ruses like opening doors to mislead her pursuers into thinking she's gone into various classrooms and forcing them to search each one. It works until Hina jumps out a second-story window while Kiri is on the ground below and quickly closes the gap.
Miyu Inamoto, vice-captain of the track team, is highly skilled at running and has a good grasp of technique, but isn't as fast as her girlfriend and the team captain, Matsuri Amshima.

Ten Winds (an air-aspect Terrestrial) is, in terms of raw power (or in Secret's case, potential power), the weakest of the group. But he's also a former member of what's essentially an Exalted Seal Team 6; an extremely skilled fighter, frequently shown taking on Exalted who should (in theory) be able to steamroll him.

Hrathen from Elantris is hardly weak, being a Badass Preacher par excellence, but he's nowhere near as physically powerful as a magically-enhanced Dakhor Monk. He's still able to hold his own against them because he's an incredibly skilled swordsman, while their power has made them arrogant and sloppy.

Invoked in Chrysalis (RinoZ) when Anthony alters his colony's Queen to produce slightly weaker but noticeably smarter hatchlings. He believes that in the long run, intelligence will trump raw power, and he's proved right over and over, as the ants learn to use tactics and strategy, coordination, metalworking, diplomacy...

Codex Alera:
Tavi has no access to fury power, while everyone else in Aleran society does. It forces him to become very skilled at kicking people's butts all on his own power. The teacher even has him deliberately pretend to be horrible at it so he can serve as a counterexample for the other students in fight training. Then he starts developing his furycraft powers...
The Canim Ritualist Morak. Unlike Sarl he follows the old way and uses his own blood to fuel his spells rather than taking the blood of others. This gives him a lot less power than Sarl but he demonstrates a much higher level of efficiency and is able to accomplish a lot more with the power he has than Sarl could.

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls:
The lower-ranked Espada The Smooze, Squirk, Grogar are counted less for their strength so much as their unique powers and skills. The Smooze in particular notes that even with his rank as the 10th Espada there are quite a few Fraccion who have more spiritual power than him but his powers and true form give him an edge, and Tirek concedes that Squirk after he's killed during the battle between Hollows and Quincy in Hueco Mundo would have held the title of 10th Espada if Smooze didn't insist on holding it when Chrysalis notes that Guto's protégé Gilda is likely stronger than Squirk, but notes his tactical advantages in his Garganta creation make him invaluable even if he was demoted off the Espada.
With few exceptions, the Quincy are on the lower end of the power scale between the three factions, with even the Sternritter struggling against the power of Soul Reaper Captains or the Espada. They make up for it with their training and the unique abilities of their Schifts.
The Kraken that attacked the beach was not very powerful compared to the Equestrian Luna and Celestia magically speaking, but it had a lot of versatility, which combined with its size and strength made it a tough opponent.

While Lilith Clawthorne in The Owl House is far from weak, she lacks the raw magical power of her sister, instead being far more familiar with the theory and basics of magic that her Brilliant, but Lazy sister doesn't bother with. This becomes useful in season 2, when she and Eda lose their magical power and have to rely on glyphs. Lilith quickly takes to the more skill-based system.

Rogues in Dungeons & Dragons are practically the patron saints of this trope. Not only can they apply their dexterity to weapon skill instead of strength like most classes, but they also learn much more quickly than their counterparts. Even low intelligence rogues will have a healthy set of skills, while a high intelligence human rogue will quickly become the team's ninja historian animal taming demolitions expert.
The rogue's signature sneak attack ability was also changed from a damage multiplier in 2.0 to deal consistent bonus regardless of the rogue's strength or size of his or her weapon in 3.0 so that rogues do not particularly suffer from low strength or lightweight weapons.
A Rogue-friendly prestige class in v3.5 called Invisible Blade applies this trope more narrowly to combat. The rogue becomes incredibly skilled at fighting with daggers, and can now apply his Intelligence bonus to armor class as well as to skill points. As a trade-off, the Invisible Blade cannot wear any armor. To qualify for the prestige class the rogue must defeat a Worthy Opponent in single combat using nothing but a dagger.
In 3rd Edition Wizards could cast fewer spells per day than sorcerers but knew more spells. Giving them more versatility but they couldn't put out as much raw magic. Clerics had a similar relationship to the non-core Favored Soul class.
Fighters are this compared to Barbarians, though this is a rather relative comparison. Fighters have slightly fewer hitpoints, move slower, and can't use Rage, but they can equip heavy armour and tower shields as standard, they have more combat feats, and they are at least literate - Barbarians Never Learned to Read.
Lore Bards in 5th Edition are quite literally weak, but skilled. They are rather poor direct combatants due to their D8 hit die and lack of access to heavy weapons and armour, but they have by far the most skill proficiencies of any available class, the chance to get expertise (double proficiency) in four of them at max level and the aptly-named "Jack of All Trades" feature lets them add half their proficiency bonus to any skill they aren't already proficient in - including Initiative. They can also borrow spells and cantrips from other classes' spell lists.
In 5e, monks are an excellent choice for this, their Martial Arts ability allowing them to attach their dexterity bonus to melee attack and damage rolls. Feel free to put Strength as your dump stat while remaining on the frontline.
Tucker's Kobolds, ladies and gentlemen, embody this trope more than any Player Character ever could. Normal kobolds are Cannon Fodder for even 1st level novice adventurers. Tucker's Kobolds are devious masters of guerrilla warfare who use fire and Vietcong-esque ambush and Booby Trap tactics to send veteran 12th-level parties packing. They're no stronger than regular kobolds, they're just very clever.

Skulduggery Pleasant:
Valkyrie finds herself in this position for the early parts of the series. Being a teenager who has not yet had her Surge, she is magically and physically weaker than most of her assailants. However, she's had some of the best training from some of the magic world's finest teachers, and is able to use that and her wits to hold her own.
Tanith Low, one of the aforementioned teachers. She lacks direct combat powers, instead possessing a bag of tricks like walking on walls, and opening locks. She compensates by being one of the finest sword-wielders in Britain and Ireland.
Of all people, Lord Vile ends the series at this point, in comparison. While eyewateringly-powerful and more than a match for almost every Mage alive, Vile ends up outclassed by the other major players at the end of the series. Kitana's gang, Argeddion, and especially Darquesse are all orders of magnitude more powerful than Vile, but Vile compensates with centuries of combat experience, complete mastery over his own powers, and sheer ruthlessness.

Farscape — D'Argo is huge, strong, used to be a Luxan warrior, and has the ability to knock people out with his tongue.

Myth Adventures:
Skeeve is just an apprentice magician and his mentor Aahz has been completely Brought Down to Normal. Nevertheless, thanks to each being quite the Guile Hero, they regularly trounce or otherwise deal with vastly superior foes, leading to Skeeve enjoying a public reputation as a sorcerer with an almost godlike power level.
This trope gets deconstructed in one Myth novel by Guido when he infiltrates the army and has to fight a Drill Sergeant Nasty in drills. The sergeant is a tiny guy, especially compared to Guido (who's a walking wall of muscle), and in Guido's internal monologue he points out that this only works if the strong guy isn't terribly skilled. Guido happens to be very skilled and flattens the sergeant with a single punch.

Gray Yeon from Weak Hero. In a series about fighting amongst high school delinquents, he's 5'2 and much skinnier than the other characters. But what he lacks in physicality he makes up for it with brains, and being a Combat Pragmatist. He uses the knowledge he's studied on fighting techniques and human anatomy to give himself an advantage in battle. As well as reading his opponents' movements and employing psychological warfare.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
For Sokka, In a World… where most of the main characters can control the various elements, he's still the most Normal of the Badass Normal characters. To deal with that, Sokka often uses strategies and his weapons to bring down his enemies. He's also very resourceful and a fast learner — see 'Sokka's Master' and how quickly he picks up swordsmanship despite having not been shown to have any prior experience in that particular weapon. He has, also, grown up in a tribe which relied on non-bending forms of combat for decades and picked up a lot on his own before being formally trained. That would have helped a lot when he met Piandao.
Aang could be considered this, especially before he learns the other Bending skills, since Airbending itself mostly relies on evading. Bumi taunts him with this:
Though "weak" is a relative term, it applies more to the Air Nomad philosophy of (technical) pacifism than their power. The Fire Nation waited until Sozin's Comet to move on them for a reason. Season Three of The Legend of Korra showed how broken Airbending truly is, in the hands of an aggressor.
This is eventually Azula's undoing against Zuko: at first, she appears more powerful thanks to her raw talent at Firebending, but once he matches her in their final fight, she's a fourteen-year-old against an opponent who's sixteen, more used to physical strain, and that has recently learned a style that employs very little movement, and she gets tired much faster. Her recent spectacular Villainous Breakdown isn't helping her any, either.
In Legend of Korra Pro-Bending competitors tend to fall into this when placed into a proper no-holds-barred fight. Due to the restrictions and rules in place during Pro-Bending tournaments, Pro-Bending oriented styles tend to focus on using smaller amounts of bending material to deliver fast, precise attacks over relatively small distances with emphasis on the basics of attacking and dodging at a distance rather than learning bigger, flashier techniques. While this gives them the advantage when fighting in close quarters or in locations where bending material is less readily accesible, it also makes them weaker in hand-to-hand combat or longer distance battles due to them often still fighting as if they're in a Pro-Bending match and being too conservative to keep up with benders who are able to use more material and apply more force.

Steven Universe:
Pearl admits that she wasn't built for fighting. She is not as scrappy as Amethyst and can't touch Garnet on the power scale, but will still hold her own alongside them or against them with her spear thanks to technique and practice, and a Homeworld gem calls her a "terrifying renegade" thousands of years after her rebellion. The fusions that include her add her finesse to the power of her partner(s), making them very impressive in battle.
Likewise, her student Connie Maheswaran is a human child, far weaker and more fragile than even the least combat worthy gem. She's made up for this for being extremely fast and agile, and with Rose's Sword (which is a One-Hit Kill weapon on Gems) her lack of strength doesn't matter. Again like Pearl the fusion she's involved with (Stevonnie) is the physically weakest one so far, yet humiliated the very powerful Jasper with far superior skill and tactics.
Peridot joins the Crystal Gems after a Heel–Face Turn and admits that, due to Homeworld's dwindling resource supply, she (like all the other Peridots of her generation) has to be given bionic "limb enhancers" to give her the ability to fight. However, Steven and Amethyst help her discover that she has the ability to psychically control metal. Though it takes Peridot a while to master the art, and she never quite reaches the raw power of the other Gems, her skills quickly grow to the point where she's able to stand alongside the Crystal Gems in battle armed with nothing but a trash can lid and cans of soda. Even in her first proper fight with ferrokinesis, she was able to defeat the Corrupted Jasper using nothing but a large jagged piece of steel.

Counterpart (2018): Baldwin is a slim woman of average female height, without visible muscle buildup. Due to this, it's played realistic that when she fights a man sent to kill her, she shows some impressive moves, but she's still clearly in trouble unless she can get hold of a weapon since he outweighs her significantly (she does, killing him). Usually she doesn't attempt hand to hand combat, but relies on her skill with guns and other weapons while fighting.

In IWA Mid-South, this was the stated reasoning for moving Jimmy Jacobs from the light heavyweight division to the heavyweights, even though he was not very big. He was simply too much better than everyone else in that weight class and good enough to beat heavyweights...though another light heavyweight, Delirious, rose up the ranks not long after Jacobs did.

Jushin Thunder Liger is not a large man, and in fact was refused by Japan's dojos when he went looking for a place to train because of his stature, forcing him to go to Mexico. Yet, once he actually got training he gradually became one of the most famous professional wrestlers in the world, because he was good at it and dedicated. He even lecture's Ring of Honor's locker room, insisting strong technique is more important than physical strength alone and decided to train the petite Cheeseburger to prove his point.

In The Flash (2014), Jay Garrick is not as fast as Barry Allen and eventually loses his powers, but he's a lot more experienced and had several tricks with speed that Barry had never thought of. Jay teaches Barry his tricks, making him much more effective.

In Traveller, characters take an old age roll at the end of each four-year career term starting with the one ending at age 34 when generating the character's backstory. Failing this roll (which gets increasingly likely as the character gets older and the penalties become increasingly severe) will drain physical attributes, but staying in a career for longer will, among other things, increase the character's skills.

In The Lord of the Isles the wizard Tenoctris has very little power, but has a huge understanding of how magic works. This is a world where several civilizations have been wiped out because their own wizards cast mighty spells without properly understanding what the effects would be. Her spells do what she wants, and she often knows exactly how a spell will backfire when the caster doesn't even know there will be side effects. She'd lose to almost anyone in a Wizard Duel, but as an adviser she's invaluable.

General Protection Fault: Fooker while protecting Ki from Sam, who is a football player, as he apparently had been "moonlighting with the UGA" at the time and knew martial arts well enough to win. This also comes up when he fights his counterpart in the Nega-Verse; he doesn't fare quite as well in this case, but manages to gain the upper hand when his opponent gets distracted.

Deconstructed in The Acts of Caine. When Talann fights Berne, she initially holds out, but Berne has some mean skills of his own too, even if not to the same level, and her inability to close the power gap gets her killed.

Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson and the Olympians also qualifies. As a child of Athena, she does not have many of the powers that other demigods have. In fact, the children of Athena, and also the children of other, lower deities, are among the weaker demigods. When fighting monsters or other opponents, Annabeth almost always relies on her wisdom and tactical skills. However, even weak demigods are still much stronger than humans.

A New Hope exemplified this at several points; Vader's Star Destroyer vastly outgunned Leia's vessel, but she tricked them by hiding the plans in a droid; the Rebel Alliance was outgunned by the Death Star, and Luke by Vader's ship & escorts in partciular in the final scene, but they used highly maneuverable ships to nullify the battlestation's firepower, while Luke used the force to aim the death blow at the Death Star, while Han Solo swept in to help at the last moment using his superior flying skills and his "modified" Millenium Falcoln to aid Luke despite the massive firepower arrayed against him.

Ben Linus from Lost hardly looks dangerous, but he is fully capable of taking you down. He managed to destroy two Middle Eastern guys on horseback and armed with machine guns using only a telescoping baton and the element of surprise as weapons.

The Wheel of Time:
Mat Cauthon outfights two stronger and more practiced opponents at the same time, while recovering from a serious illness. He's really good with the quarterstaff.
Sorilea can barely channel enough to light a candle, but is one of the oldest and most experienced Aiel Wise Ones, and has such a sense of authority about her that when she says "jump" even other Wise Ones ask, "How high?"
Androl is probably the weakest channeler in the Black Tower, but has an unmatched talent for making gateways, which normally requires great strength in the One Power. He normally uses them for such everyday tasks as cutting leather and preparing tea. Then he starts developing new and awesome ways to weaponize them.
Be'lal is one of the weaker channelers among the Forsaken, but he makes up for it by being a Master Swordsman, one of the Shadow's three top generals, and a politician savvy enough to earn the nickname "Netweaver". Unfortunately for him, it doesn't save him from being the first Forsaken to be Killed Off for Real.
Egwene briefly has this role when she is captured by Elaida's faction of Aes Sedai and demoted to novice, with her channeling almost completely suppressed with forkroot. What little of the One Power she can channel, she uses with a level of finesse that awes her instructor.

Hunters (both kinds) even more so. The majority of Mages may never have the direct combat prowess of beatsticks like Vampires or Werewolves, but their immensely flexible Reality Warper abilities give them options that even the strongest Empowered Badass Normal of Hunters can't match. Through cunning, fighting dirty and planning, however, Hunters can and many times do put down the things that go bump in the night.

Shikamaru and Kakashi manage to take down Orochimaru by tricking him into attacking himself.
Sakura manages to beat Neji due to a combination of greater planning and Neji being foolish enough to monologue during a fight. He might have been faster, stronger, and more skilled, but she took that time to set up a flashbang genjutsu.

DC Extended Universe:
In Man of Steel, the Kryptonians haven't adapted to Earth like Superman has, so they're vulnerable to the same Power Incontinence he got over and have had less time to gain strength from Earth's sun. Unfortunately for Superman, they were bred to be soldiers and are much more experienced and better fighters and learn the basics of their new abilities extremely fast, so him being stronger than them doesn't mean much as they are still powerful enough to be a serious threat and combined by their skill, he ends up being in a hell of a tough fight. Even the power-based and aggressive Nam-Ek can give Superman a good fight, while Faora proves to be impossible to beat without a surprise attack as she easily stomps Superman, being the best fighter among the Kryptonians. By the end, Zod has learned to control both his flight and his heat vision, worsening things for Superman, to where he only beats Zod due to Zod being essentially a Death Seeker at that point and even then only with surprise attack and not without causing some serious damage.
Batman is currently the most prominent example. While he can wipe the floor with Mooks easily, who aren't even strong much less skilled, fighting super-powerful aliens are way out of his depth. That said, he is still a Badass Normal with 20 years of crimefighting experience and great martial arts, firearms, and tactical skills under his belt, so he has repeatedly shown with the proper means, he is still able to threaten them. While even with Powered Armor, Batman is no match for a fully-powered Superman, he is able to repeatedly expose Superman to Kryptonite, during which he can easily beat him down he's no match at all for Batman until it wears off, and ultimately wins. He's also the one who comes up with the tactics used to take down Doomsday and even manages to play a real role by hitting him with a Kryptonite grenade, along with briefly fighting him with his ship. In Justice League, he's able to take on Parademons in a straight fight and win.

Rob Roy: Archibald Cunningham, the fencing master and foppish fashion enthusiast. His introduction scene has a burly Scottish swordsman mock Cunningham's puny physical frame before getting his ass handed to him in a sword fight. The even burlier Rob Roy manages to physically manhandle Cunningham on several occasions, but in a straight swordfight, the tables are turned. In their duel, Cunningham easily dodges Rob Roy's heavier, slower swings while slowly slicing Rob to pieces.

In Incarnation of Legends, Kojiro doesn't possess the sheer superhuman speed and strength of a Servant as he's been incarnated as a human. But his skills remain untouched aside from getting used to once again having a flesh-and-blood body. As such, he, despite not having a falna, is able to fight on par with Level 1 and 2 adventurers, something that's supposed to be practically impossible.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
Features this trope regularly in a very plausible way. The series has loads characters who are too old (Barristan Selmy, Syrio Forell) or too thin (Loras Tyrell) to be considered "strong" but are extremely capable fighters, usually because they are both naturally skilled, very well trained, and unusually brave. This is realistic since there is no use being a bag of muscle if you are clumsy, untrained or just too weak-minded to hold yourself on a battlefield or in another life-or-death situation. In other words, being strong and resilient may make you a good soldier (since much of soldiering is enduring months of underfeeding, sleeping in camps, forced marches, exhausting work and generally horrible life conditions) but it does not automatically make you a good fighter. (The reverse is true: many a Knight in Shining Armor is a capable fighter but could never endure the life conditions of the rank and file.)
Handily demonstrated in the duel between Gregor Clegane, a giant of a man strong enough to wield a greatsword in one hand, and Oberyn Martell, a regular sized man. Oberyn, while severely outclassed in the strength department, is quick and agile, and uses a spear (coated with poison) to keep out of reach of Clegane's BFS.
Subverted by Syrio Forel, who gives a very impressive account of himself when he is outnumbered six to one and armed with a wooden sword while his opponents have live steel. He defeats and possibly maims or kills five of them, but falls to the sixth, who has (as the Hound memorably puts it in the TV adaptation), "armor and a big fucking sword."

Fate/Zero:
One of the 'viewpoint' protagonists in the light novel series, Emiya Kiritsugu, is presented as this. While he is an expert marksman, most of his successes come from exploiting his targets' weaknesses and generally fighting very methodically. Whenever he is in a direct confrontation, he will always be the one running away, while waiting for the best time to put his plans into action.
Waver Velvet ended up as this as he grew older: much like Kiritsugu, he would have no chance in a serious fight with a truly powerful mage, and so he relies on his cleverness, his knowledge of magic, and his allies, particularly the students he's trained over the years.

To highlight this, one of the truly unique things a mage can do that no other splat can in The World of Darkness is to rewind time, allowing them effectively a few extra moments and some foreknowledge in combat. In the New World of Darkness, this is replaced by the ability to selectively rewrite his past, declaring that he spent the last ten years studying lock-picking and escape-driving instead of riflery and science, allowing him to retroactively have prepared mundane defenses and learned appropriate skills.

Jesse Custer from Preacher is this compared to Cassidy, whom he has beaten. As Jesse puts it, "Fella taught me to fight was the same piece of shit shot my daddy dead in fronta my eyes. That'll tend to focus your concentration".
One of Jesse and Cassidy's fights hilariously subverts this. Cassidy throws a punch in a rage, which Jesse blocks; Cassidy is cowed and leaves. Jesse immediately asks Tulip and Amy to drive him to the hospital, as the punch broke every bone in his hand.
Tulip also fits this trope, being an excellent markswoman who routinely goes up against both normal humans several times her size/strength and supernatural creatures. In particular is the time she shoots Cassidy out of a window and into the sunlight. Bonus points for doing it with a hangover.

In Magic: The Gathering, weak but skilled tends to be an advantage. A creature having high power or toughness stats and no other special traits or abilities is utterly unremarkable (after all, the most common creature-removal spells simply kill or otherwise remove creatures without looking twice at their size). However, some of the most valuable creatures to have are small ones (in terms of power and toughness) with useful abilities like the ability to retrieve any Equipment from your deck, and put any Equipment in your hand into play for a low, fixed cost or the ability to give you extra mana just for putting more lands onto the battlefield, especially in formats where the ability to do so more often is commonplace.

Mother Hen: Ladybug and Chat Noir are this by the standards of most Miraculous holders, who are normally able to use their special ability multiple times without detransforming, as is the case with Hawk Moth and later Mother Hen. Since Ladybug and Chat Noir are teenagers instead of adults, their bodies can't handle using their Miraculous's powers more than once. However, the duo make up for this with their experience and teamwork, which lets them take on opponents who are much stronger than them.

The Witch of Knightcharm: A rookie witch named Gelila who attends an evil Wizarding School is shown to be this. Gelila reads a lot and has a wide breadth of knowledge, but while she's thus able to craft spells which perfectly match the ones in her textbooks, she's unable to put much power into those spells. During the first exam of hers that's depicted in the text, she creates a ward which is theoretically perfect but fizzles out because it has almost no energy to speak of. However, despite her weakness, her skills were still sufficient to get her through orientation when much stronger students failed.

Karura is definitely weaker than her son Gaara in Eroninja given that she can only control about as much sand as his gourd holds and has to manipulate it with hand gestures, unlike Gaara who can control hundreds of tons while barely moving. However, she's much faster with it and can manipulate sand more finely than Gaara can.

Vampires have their Disciplines, which grant them supernatural strength and resilience, as well as blood pools that can be used to heal their wounds at a moment's notice. Werewolves have sheer strength on their side, being perfect killing machines created by Gaia, in addition to their spiritual gifts, feral Rage, supernatural resistances, a healing factor, and pack tactics. Mages are comparatively squishier, having to use Magick to replicate any of that—and even then, a Mage needs to be careful, in order to avoid gathering Paradox. However, Magick also allows Mages a degree of control over any facet of reality: it's possible for a well-prepared Mage to develop completely coincidental counter-measures that can neutralize any other Supernatural's abilities.
To highlight this, one of the truly unique things a mage can do that no other splat can in The World of Darkness is to rewind time, allowing them effectively a few extra moments and some foreknowledge in combat. In the New World of Darkness, this is replaced by the ability to selectively rewrite his past, declaring that he spent the last ten years studying lock-picking and escape-driving instead of riflery and science, allowing him to retroactively have prepared mundane defenses and learned appropriate skills.
The unofficial national sport of Mage players is negation of other supernaturals, seeing how few ranks in a magical discipline one needs to render a massively stronger opponent mortal, such as using a low-level mental power to prevent a werewolf's rage or remove the friction from the ground beneath a speed-based vampire.
Hunters (both kinds) even more so. The majority of Mages may never have the direct combat prowess of beatsticks like Vampires or Werewolves, but their immensely flexible Reality Warper abilities give them options that even the strongest Empowered Badass Normal of Hunters can't match. Through cunning, fighting dirty and planning, however, Hunters can and many times do put down the things that go bump in the night.

Jasmine from Deltora Quest is tiny, and has this as her fighting style throughout the series, even winning a fighting tournament with it in the fourth book. Lief also uses it to an extent, he's at least average in size and strength, but most opponents are still bigger and stronger.

The titular character's schtick in Ender's Game. He wins a mock battle in Battle School in which the enemy has a 2:1 advantage, wins every battle in Command School aka the Third Invasion against even worse odds, and kills two older and larger boys with his bare hands when he feels his personal safety is threatened.

In the Warlord of Mars comics, one arc has Dejah Thoris transported to the future where Mars is invaded by Earthlings. The Red Men are shown able to overpower the humans physically, despite humans being as strong as the mighty Green Men. However, the Red Men are also expert swordsmen and the humans come from a time period when hand to hand combat is rarely used (additionally humans don't have the great height and 4 arms, so they're not as big a melee threat to the Red Men).

Spider-Man:
Spider-Man himself qualifies. Sure his powers are pretty impressive to a normal person, but he's a lightweight compared to the some of the guys he normally hangs out with. However, by using his brains, all his powers, and absolute refusal to give up he can, and often does, take down even literal Physical Gods. Most of his villains are stronger than him, making it necessary for him to rely on his brains over brawn much of the time. One of his favorite tricks is to hit an enemy with a strand of web, even though said villain is physically stronger and heavier so Spider-Man cannot throw him. When the enemy tries to yank Spider-Man towards them, he uses the momentum to deliver a nasty kick or punch.
It also doesn't hurt his physical abilities are some of the most well balanced around. There are stronger opponents, but they usually have nowhere near his speed and agility, conversely, opponents who are more agile and faster are nowhere near as strong.
Interestingly enough, he has been written as Unskilled, but Strong in some story arcs. During the Big Time arc he was temporarily stripped of his Spider Sense, and his fighting ability took a hit as a result, as he tended to rely on the early warning of his Spider Sense to anticipate his opponent's attacks. To compensate for the loss of his Spider Sense, he accepted an offer to learn martial arts from Shang Chi, one of the top martial artists in the Marvel Universe. Once Shang Chi taught him the basics, they perfected a unique fighting style called The Way of the Spider, which exploited Spider-Man's physical strength, speed and agility to maximum effect.
The Black Cat has been both a Badass Normal and an Empowered Badass Normal depending what direction a writer wants to take her in. Specifically, she has had the ability to affect probability and has also possessed cat-like strength, speed, agility, claws and senses; the former still leaves her with the regular physical stats of a normal human and the latter isn't all that impressive compared to even Spider-Man. What is consistent is that the Black Cat is an excellent martial artist and cunning thief who can defeat or hold her own against deadly opponents by fighting smart. This was deconstructed earlier into her and Spider-Man's relationship as she felt that her lack of powers made her a liability. This is what led to her undergoing the procedure that granted her superpowers, not knowing it was actually a scheme set up by the Kingpin until it was too late.
Silver Sable has no superpowers, but is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant trained in use of various close range and long range weaponry.

The Incredible Hulk:
Hideko Takata was a member of the Hulkbusters in the late 1980s. She's a normal, overweight, middle-aged woman, who managed to throw the Hulk to the ground, by expert use of judo.
Variations of this apply to the "Joe Fixit" and "Professor" incarnations of the Hulk;
Joe Fixit is the name adopted by the grey-skinned Hulk. In terms of raw strength, Joe Fixit can only lift about seventy tons where Hulks normally top out at around 100 tons, but he makes up for this comparative weakness by having superior problem-solving skills to Bruce Banner and being a Combat Pragmatist, finding solutions ranging from tossing the stronger Abomination into barrels of acid to taking people by surprise even when he's stuck in Bruce Banner's form.
By contrast, the Professor Hulk is essentially Bruce Banner's mind in control of the Hulk's body. The Professor has the greatest base level strength of any of the Hulks, but due to psychic failsafes created after he became active, if he gets angry he will revert to "Savage Banner", a persona where the enraged mind of the Savage Hulk is in control of Bruce Banner's body. As a result, while the Professor is the smartest and most heroic of the known Hulk personalities, he lacks the Hulk's ability to get stronger as he gets angrier, putting a limit on how strong he actually is.

Ree, and Scra as well, from The Croaking:
Ree is a kestrel and thus smaller and lighter than many of her peers, but she is the fastest and most agile flyer, good at fighting, and excellent in shooting.
Scra, a crow, is also smaller than many of his classmates, and can't fly due to a clipped wing, but he makes it up with great skills in hand-to-hand-combat.

Fate/stay night:
Lampshaded with the comment that fighting technique is used to compensate for weakness. The context, however, is an inversion, pointing out that Berserker, consumed with magical bloodlust, is so damn fast and strong that he doesn't need skill.
Archer has one of the worst statistics of all the servants in the Grail War and has no divine blessings or the like. However, he is immortal, and has spent a lot of the time he has fighting and devising tactics that maximize his strengths thanks to creating copies of Heroic Spirits' legendary weapons. Consequently he's able to stand up to epic legends and demi-gods like Saber and Berserker, and when Shirou borrows Archer's power in one bad end, he even beats Saber Alter in a sword fight. In spite of his Servant class designation, Archer is actually closer to being a Jack of All Stats than the Glass Cannon that would otherwise be implied. First off, Archer specifically says that he wasn't originally a warrior or a hero or anything like that; he's actually a mage, the most fragile class there is. Whereas other mages have all sorts of cool tricks or spells they can pull out for most everything, Archer only knows two types of spells, though what spells they are! Moreover, unlike virtually every other participant in the Grail War, Archer is not actually a traditional Heroic Spirit. This makes him virtually inscrutable since he has no notable weaknesses or famous Achilles' Heel for others to exploit, save, as shown other media like Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA or Fate/Zero an enemy that's fast and skilled enough to catch and use his forged Noble Phantasms can easily turn them against him.
Assassin is fast but not very strong and is wielding an essentially normal sword. His magical energy is not only low, it only declines because it cannot be restored. However, he fights on more than equal terms with Saber herself and only loses because his sword is bent from blocking an attack of hers. Even Lancer, who thinks nothing of fighting several other Heroic Spirits at once so long as he is on the defensive, highly dislikes the idea of having to fight Assassin. Let's put it in perspective: Assassin's secret technique allows him to strike thrice in the same exact instant. This is NOT a Noble Phantasm, magic spell, or of divine origin; he simply trained a lot. Then reality itself gave up and gave him what he wanted... a form of Second Magic. Which should be impossible to replicate.
This is the central idea of the Assassin class. In a direct confrontation it is unlikely Assassin could win against any of the other Heroic Spirits. However, their skill in assassination and their Presence Concealment ability make Assassins extremely adept at eliminating enemy Masters.
Souichirou. He trained in a martial arts style so strange that when people fight him for the first time they have no idea what he's going to do next. Because of this he is able to almost kill Saber (second strongest Servant in the Grail War) during their first encounter, unarmed with a strength-boosting enhancement given to him by Caster.
Caster herself is also unskilled but strong. Physically she is weak enough to literally get beat up by a teenage girl, and her Noble Phantasm is easily the weakest one of the eight Servants, however she is able to use guile, pragmatism and outright cheating on several occasions to become a major threat to our protagonists.
The fight between Shirou and Gilgamesh is a contest between weak but skilled and Unskilled, but Strong. Both use the same weapons, but while Shirou's are weaker copies than Gilgamesh's, he has more skill wielding them. The result is that in a direct clash they are evenly matched with only the rate at which they can grab a new weapon making the difference, and in his Reality Marble Shirou can grab a sword instantly. Gilgamesh's trademark arrogance also worked in Shirou's favor, since the former deliberately refused to use his armor or his ultimate weapon at the beginning of the fight, thinking that his opponent wasn't worthy. By the time he realized he might actually need them, it was too late.
Generally, because Older Is Better in the Nasuverse, most Servants from "recent" history (around the 1500s onward) kinda have to be this, otherwise they would constantly be getting Curb-Stomped by their older and more straightforwardly powerful opponents.

Tales of the Questor:
Quentyn scored very low on everything he tried out, in particular those based on physical or magical strength. But because he tried and trained for practically everything he is practically a Jack of All Trades, incidentally very useful for a Questor.
Racconans in general are apparently this in comparison to human mages. Almost all Racconans are lux sensitive thus they have well-established schools of magic while the few humans who have the talent have little to no opportunity for formal training (thanks mainly to religious prohibitions) but all those that have appeared either can barely even see lux or have enough raw power to send Racconan mages running.

Legion of Super-Heroes:
This is Karate Kid's entire schtick: although he technically doesn't possess any super-powers, he can still hold his own against Superman thanks to his knowledge of every martial art in existence.
Triplicate Girl also counts. While she does have a superpower, she's still only as tough as the average human. However, her skill in Tri-Jutsu, a martial art that works in the twelve points of attack and unique method of dodging her power grants her, along with her talents in infiltration and information gathering, make her a valuable member of the Legion

She-Ra: Princess of Power:
A stock and trade for the Twiggets, one of the major allies of the Rebellion. Individually they're no match for the Horde, but they're extremely crafty, very resourceful, and expert marksmen who have no problem using strike and run tactics against more powerful opponents.
Similarly, Hordak's minion Imp is on the low end of the power scale where the Horde is concerned, but he is an expert at espionage and saboutage. He is also proficient enough at evasion that he's near impossible to catch when he's found.

Alice Quinn of The Magicians ultimately turns out to be one of these when it comes to magical gifts, for most of her friends are more obvious combat powerhouses than her: Eliot has The Gift of natural magical talent, Penny has battle magic and dimensional travel, Josh has Stout Strength and raw magical muscle that makes up for him being an Inept Mage... and Alice? She's small, shy, and nervous, reluctant to fight and lacking in physical strength... but she makes up for it in sheer intellect and magical knowledge, not to mention superhuman determination. It's for this reason that Alice is the only member of the Physical Kids that can last in a fight with the Unskilled, but Strong Big Bad, for while she's nowhere near his power level, Alice has learned and mastered enough spells and techniques to keep him on the ropes.

Contrary to traditional, mostly-equal power levels, the Autobots of Transformers: Animated are almost universally weaker than all but the lowliest Decepticon. They manage to get around this through a combination of team-based tactics and resource management that, while not entirely closing the gap, grant them some measure of advantage over their better-armed-but-less-organized counterparts.
This applies not just to the main cast, but the Autobots on a larger scale as well: while the Autobots used the Omega Sentinels to actually win the Great War, the reason they got that far in the first place was because their logistics were vastly superior to the Decepticons thanks to their Space Bridges.
True of the original generation 1 Transformers as well. Autobots were ordinary citizens, while Decepticons were the military caste. What's more, Decepticons could fly, and the first Autobots could not.

This Bites!: Cross and Soundbite. Cross has a good tactical mind and knowledge from another dimension, but even with Zoro's Training From Hell to increase his stamina, Kureha's miracle vitamins to increase his durability, and Usopp's custom-made armor to increase his strength, his physical capabilities remain at the point where the only enemies he can reliably fight on his own are Mooks. Soundbite's Noise-Noise Fruit powers make him masterful in bluffing out and disabling his opponents, as well as mustering reinforcements in seconds, and he's developed a few genuine attacks. But without his powers, he's only a snail. With their wits combined, however, and Lassoo as the main source of firepower, they're easily formidable enough to have a place with the Straw Hat Pirates.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Trixie's a stage magician by trade, yet when her power was tested by an Ursa Minor it proved rather inadequate. Later her power output was boosted by an artifact to around Celestia or Luna's level, she was capable of using, with ease no less, spells which Twilight considered far outside her range. And she's just a performer.
That same episode shows that Zecora, who can't even use magic since she isn't a unicorn, knows more about the subject than Twilight.
Scootaloo might have weak puny wings, but on the ground, she gets serious horsepower out of them. Especially with a fully loaded little red wagon attached.
Sunburst possesses great knowledge of spells, but lacks the raw power necessary to apply most of them.

Underworld (2003) has such a moment at the end, during Viktor's fight with the newly hybridized Michael Corvin. Though Michael clearly outmatches Viktor in raw strength and speed and initially has the upper hand, Viktor, having 600+ years of combat experience under his belt, eventually manages to turn the tide, with Michael only being saved from death by Selene making a Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind. Of course, it's only compared to Michael that Viktor can be considered weak but skilled; earlier in the film, he effortlessly Neck Lifted a fully transformed Lycan, and then performed a Neck Snap.

In Captain America: Ghosts of HYDRA, Sharon Carter is this. She assists Steve Rogers/Captain America and Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier in taking down the remnants of HYDRA. While she has not taken a Super-Soldier serum like her companions, she more than makes up for it with sheer combat ability in CQC (whether hand-to-hand or her electric batons) and firearms. It is because of this that she is able to mow down HYDRA agents, keep up with Brock Rumlow/Crossbones, hold off both Crossbones and another one of the Winter Soldiers, Josef for awhile and kill Josef by shooting him in the head.

Tombstone (1993) has Doc Holliday, a Southern Gentleman and dentist turned gambler and vagabond due to tuberculosis, which was basically incurable at the time. Knowing his days were numbered, Doc lived every day of his life as if it were his last, and he gained a reputation as being one of the fastest draws in the West. His ailment was no secret; fellow gambler Ed Bailey described him as "nothing but a skinny lunger" without his guns, yet, despite this, Doc could handle himself just fine in physical altercations. When it came to gunfights, however, Doc's reputation preceded him. So much so that even Doc's rival and The Dragon, Johnny Ringo, who is an equally feared gunslinger, is visibly shaken when he realizes that he's about to fight Doc and not Wyatt Earp.

The Avengers have a couple of these among their ranks:
Black Panther is stronger and more agile than a normal human, but is significantly weaker than many of his fellow Avengers. Despite this, he's a Crazy-Prepared tactical genius and one of the few heroic examples of The Chessmaster archetype, making him very effective. He's managed to get the drop on many more powerful opponents, including Mephisto himself.
Then you have the Black Knight (Dane Whitman). Compared not just to the team powerhouses but even to guys like Black Panther and Captain America he seems underpowered, being a completely normal human with a sword and a grab-bag assortment of gadgets and enchanted weapons to fight bad guys with. He is, however, a Master Swordsman who has bested the likes of Captain America and Wolverine with his blade, a skilled martial artist, and a gifted scientist who started out as a physicist and has since acquired a wide range of scientific disciplines. He is also fairly familiar with magic, giving him a leg up on most of Marvel's scientific community.

In Bumblebee, while he towers over humans, every Decepticon Bumblebee fights is significantly bigger than him. This forces him to do things like target weak points, build up momentum in car form or taking advantage of the environment. When up against Shatter who can match him move for move while being almost twice as big as him, he can't hold out for long.

A Darker Path: Physically, Taylor is a fit but baseline human, which is a big part of why her foes keep underestimating her. But with Combat Clairvoyance as just the start of her precognitive planning abilities, she consistently trounces everyone she faces.

Katniss Everdeen, from The Hunger Games, is what happens when this meets Glass Cannon. Her short and thin frame leaves her at a disadvantage in a fight when all of the men and most of the other women are larger and stronger, and haven't starved a day in their lives. Her sole combat ability relies on her skill with a bow, which the Gamemakers play up by only putting one bow and twelve arrows into the Arena. Only once she's gotten that bow does she even think about mounting an offensive against the Careers, but it is her skill with wilderness survival, tendency to ration and plan ahead, and speed and agility that allow her to hold out long enough in the meantime. It also seems she's pulled a Batman and tried to recall what worked in previous Hunger Games to help decide her course of action. If a natural charisma also counts as a skill, it certainly helps her get much-needed assistance.

While at first glance, it would seem absurd to look at the 196 cm 104 kg Chris Hero and call him "weak", his record in Pro Wrestling NOAH's Global Tag League has seen him fail to advance from the opening round for several years in a row. In his fourth year in, he and Colt Cabana were officially recognized as having the best technique of any participants, despite their low showing, suggesting that Chris Hero and his partners simply aren't strong enough or that they're lacking something else...

The Battlestar Galactica is a 50 year old bucket which was being turned into a museum when the Cylons hit, having been rendered obsolete by newer battlestars. Yet, thanks to its Commander, (eventually) hardened pilots and a True Companions mentality, they were able to survive the holocaust and the four years of ordeal. There is a reason why many fans believed Galactica could take out Pegasus despite the former being heavily outgunned by the latter.

Ume from Sugar Plums is a Self-Insert protagonist who is actually at her default weaker than the average shinobi. She just naturally has less chakra than a normal person, and the longer a fight goes on the more likely she is to be killed because she has to draw from the chakra shinobi use to make them physically stronger and tougher than a normal person. Which is why she never let's her fights last that long.

While the version of Angel Dust seen in Deadpool has Super-Strength and Super-Toughness, she's still in this position when she takes on Colossus, who far exceeds her in both those categories while also being considerably larger. However, Colossus fights with a fairly simple, brute force style, while Angel Dust has obvious martial arts and combat experience that lets her somewhat negate or redirect Colossus' strength. That, along with the fact that she fights very, very dirty while Colossus is too nice and honorable for his own good, allows her to fight him on relatively even terms.

Sonic In X Minutes: Infinite has the ability to create illusions thanks to his Phantom Ruby. However, everyone is aware that Infinite's illusions are just that - illusions, and so they deride him as "weak." However, Infinite is very clever and creative in the ways he uses his illusions, such as disguising himself and Eggman to sneak into the rebel base. This is the opposite of Infinite's portrayal in the original game, where he was Unskilled, but Strong.

The Nanaya Clan is revealed in Kagetsu Tohya to have next to no supernatural abilities at all nor superstrength or anything but pure assassin skills. The most badass of them all, Nanaya Kiri, only has the ability to sense the thoughts and emotions of others. Normally, they go up against horribly dangerous monsters at the likes of Vermillion Akiha or worse. Akiha's who actually know how to fight, that is. And they win. Just think if Shiki had actually grown up with them before they were wiped out and then gotten his Mystic Eyes. How much training can a six year old really have received anyway? Yet he still takes out Nero Chaos, Roa, Walachia, Satsuki and at least one more of the 27 top Dead Apostles before they even notice he's there.

The Secret Return of Alex Mack: Terawatt has less raw power than many of her opponents; her two hundred pounds of telekinetic force is tiny compared to Azure Crush throwing cars. But she has excellent fine control, giving her the versatility to adapt to all kinds of situations, and a number of tricks up her spotlessly white sleeves, like pinching carotid arteries shut, enhancing her punches to bluff having Super-Strength, blinding super-tough enemies with lightning to the eyeball, and telekinetic guide parries to divert bullets. Her skill and creativity consistently see her coming out on top of her fights, and being recognised as the world's premier superhero.

Empowered has shown signs of this. While her supersuit really is pretty powerful, it is easily damaged and rendered useless, making her an extreme Glass Cannon. However, unlike 99% of the other superheroes in her universe, she actually thinks, and this has allowed her to beat villains that others were not able to. She also notes that as cool as throwing a car looks, you'll do much more damage by just driving it into them.

Orange Cassidy usually lacks the raw power and toughness of his opponents, which often results in him getting tired in matches with them very quickly. However, with his maneuverability and the tactical mind games he plays on them, he's often more than capable of pulling off a come from behind win, no matter how dire the situation seems for him. This is emphasized by his ability to do some moves and athletics such as kipping up while his hands are in his pockets in response to getting knocked down.

The ex-con Newleaf asks how much he weighs, and Paul replies, "One-forty." After a moment, Newleaf states, "Yeah, you're gonna need all eleven." Paul then reveals that he's already got one of the eleven down when he gives a flawless demonstration of kung fu.

MacGyver lived and breathed this trope. He generally loses straight-up fistfights with larger or stronger opponents. He always needed to attack from advantage, throw sand, or use some gadget to win. What keeps him from being a Combat Pragmatist is that he Doesn't Like Guns and never uses them.

Sabermetrics, the attempt to use modern scientific statistics to understand baseball, values one particular stat for hitters above all others. No, not average. Not RBI. Not homers. That statistic, On-Base Percentage, is simply how often a hitter gets on base, regardless of power. Slugging - a measure of power - is nice, but OBP is king; the rule of thumb is that OBP is about three times as valuable as Slugging. Sabermetrics doesn't care how you get on base, but that you get there. As depicted in Moneyball (both the film and book), this led to the Oakland A's discovering Kevin Youkilis, a player who was overlooked in the draft because he had a wonky stance, decent but uninspiring average, and less-than-stellar physique. The A's took a special interest in him because they realized his decent batting average masked a stunningly good on-base percentage. He had the plate patience and self-control to battle pitchers deep into the count, wearing their arms out and getting to first base on ball 4. The book jokingly called him "Euclis, the Greek God of Walks". Youkilis went on to be an All-Star, an expert defender, and while his career .281 average is good, it's not great. His career OBP of .381, on the other hand, is outright impressive.

Starting with the second season of Cobra Kai, Sam (who was years out of practice) and Demitri (who was not shown to have any such skills to speak of) personified this trope. Neither is exactly a physical powerhouse, but the school brawl of "No Mercy" showed that nor do they get frustrated by multiple shots in succession. She was able to capitalize on Tory's dissipating patience while he capitalized on Hawk's sloppiness to get in the final blow for their respective fights. It's also the key to his Character Development and her She's Back arc.

Grendel especially the Hunter Rose and Christine Spar versions. Hunter Rose was a slight man and not particularly tall, but he was a teenage fencing champion. And of course, he was intellectually brilliant. Christine Spar was a tall, thin woman who, however was said to practice kendo. She was good in tracking and spying but physically, she couldn't handle more than petty thugs or not so bright animal cops like Dominic Riley. Also, because she was the least malevolent Grendel, her body count was quite small compared to other Grendels as she didn't really seek to kill anyone except her son's kidnappers. She didn't even think to finish off thugs that she maimed, such as Tujiro stooge Niccolo. Of the handful of people she killed, two were killed by a carbomb, not direct physical combat. The only heavyweights that Christine fought were Tujiro and Argent. However, Tujiro escaped and she died fighting Argent.
