* One of the most prominent comic book examples would have to be, [[Gender
** It should be noted, however, that this doesn't really stop Spider-Man from taking severe blows. Indeed, almost every videogame starring him features a costume selection that is torn up and ravaged from all the damage he takes during the game. Because of his [[Spider Sense]], he's never really blind-sided, but his enemies just tend to be ''that'' fast and powerful.
* Another [[Gender
* In the Marvel [[New Universe]] series ''[[DP 7]]'', housewife Stephanie Harrington feels silly doing moves that she admits were from her days as a high school cheerleader, but her power gives her a degree of protection, so it actually works well enough in a fight.
* ''[[Jet Dream (Comic Book)|Jet Dream and her Stunt-Girl Counterspies]]'' were, as the name implies, Hollywood stuntwomen, and their fights tended to involve a lot of colorful acrobatic maneuvers.
Line 100:
** Also played straight with Cammy.
* Mai Shiranui of ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' and ''[[King of Fighters]]''
* [[Gender
* Also [[Gender
** Sheva and later {{spoiler|Jill}} perform lots of acrobatic somersaults and cartwheels for their physical attack follow-ups in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]''. Mercenaries Reunion would let Excella Gionne get in on the action, as well. Surprisingly averted with Rebecca Chambers, who's more of a [[Combat Pragmatist]].
* Morrigan Aensland of ''[[Darkstalkers]]'', combining Shotoclone goodness with [[Evil Is Sexy|sexy]] [[Hello, Nurse!|moves]]. Including hitting people with her [[Prehensile Hair|hair]]. Felicia also falls in this with her movements, showing just how flexible her cat body is, including using her own tail as a stand or weapon.
Line 145:
** Harley Quinn did so on rare occasions, although she normally prefers the ranged novelty-weapon attack. Part of her backstory is that she was a champion gymnast in school too.
* Yumi from ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' frequently uses such moves when fighting in the virtual world, thanks to her increased agility and the low gravity of Lyoko. Less so in the real world, though, where she sticks to more basic martial arts.
* The girls of ''[[Totally Spies!]]!''
* Blackarachnia in ''[[Beast Wars]]'' did this to a small extent, but when she got a new, sexier body in ''[[Beast Machines]]'', she was suddenly all about twisting and stretching.
* ''[[Dragons Fire and Ice]]'' has Kyra using loads of flips and kicks during her duel with Dev, who just uses archaic and brutish forms of "swing the sword in that general direction until something dies".
