** [[The Epic of Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] [[That One Boss|in]] [[Final Fantasy V|all]] [[Final Fantasy VIII|of]] [[Final Fantasy IX|his]] [[Final Fantasy XII|appearances]].
* Tricolour in the second ''[[Freedom Force]]'' can take on the Nazi Army and keep up with Freedom Force's super powered heroes with just Olympic level fencing.
* Alix Lencolia in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|IV Oblivion]]'' is acknowledged as the best sword fighter (with the exception of the PC if you max out the Blade skill) and the only Master Blade Trainer (who can train Blade to the highest level of 100) in the game.
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]'', ''Redguard'', and ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind|Morrowind]]'' all had several examples in the in-game literature.
** Frandar Hunding was a Redguard hero known as an "Ansei": swordsmen that could create weapons ''with their minds.'' Says Allena Benoch, another Master Swordsman, of Hunding and swordsmanship in general: "Frandar Hunding lists thirty-eight grips, seven hundred and fifty offensive and eighteen hundred defensive positions, and nearly nine thousand moves essential to sword mastery. The average hack-and-slasher knows one grip, which he uses primarily to keep from dropping his blade. He knows one offensive position, facing his target, and one defensive position, fleeing. Of the multitudinous rhythms and inflections of combat, he knows less than one."
** An in-universe short story states that there were some Redguard masters so skilled that their blades could be used to cut atoms, causing the massive explosion that destroyed their home continent of Yokuda. Cyrus the Restless (the protagonist of the spin-off game ''Redguard'') bluffs out Vivec, an archetypal [[God Mode Sue]], with the very ''idea'' of it and forces the god to flee.
