Line 184:
* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' Rogues have a similar ability, but it 'stuns' foes (since the game doesn't have a 'blind' [[Standard Status Effects|Abnormal Status]]).
* This is one of the abilities that Ezio learns in ''[[Assassin's Creed II (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed II]]''. Considering that dirty fighting seems to be genetic, he improves on Altair's already sneaky tactics.
** Then in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Video Game)|Brotherhood]]'' the guards (Seekers specifically) learn to do it to ''you''. It's to encourage the player to be more aggressive.
*** Or to just jump out of the way.
* ''[[Final Fantasy XI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XI]]'' has the Ninja class using [[Eye of Newt|components]] for their Ninjitsu. The Kurayami series of 'spells', which inflict blindness on the target are cast with an object that is crafted with, among other things, gunpowder and pepper. The implications should be obvious there. Tangentially, Ninjitsu ingredients are linked to their use for the most part (Shinobi-tabi translates roughly to ninja socks, used in sneaking past opponents for an invisibility spell, paper dolls are used in a spell that creates shadow copies, and so on.) so a nice dose of burning gunpowder and pepper in the face is an obvious cause for blindness.
Line 211:
* In ''[[Star Wars Clone Wars]]'', Anakin and Ventress use the Force to splash water into each others' faces.
* Kron does this to Aladar with a handful of dirt in Disney's ''[[Dinosaur (Disney)|Dinosaur]]''.
* In the ''[[Thundercats (Animation)|ThunderCats]]'' episode "The Demolisher", The Demolisher pulls the [[Look Behind You!]] trick on Lion-O and attacks him when he turns around. The Demolisher mocks him for falling for the "oldest trick in the book", but Lion-O counters that there is an older trick and throws dirt in his eyes.
