The Ace: Difference between revisions

* Nago (the [[She Cleans Up Nicely|cleaned up one]], [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals|mind you]]) is Yanagin's [[Rival]], who outdid Yanagin in academics, [[Action Girl|karate]], and [[Big Eater|ramen eating]].

* In ''[[Arisa]]'', the titular character is seen as this. {{spoiler|She turns out to be a [[Broken Ace]]}}.

* Akisame Koetsuji of ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'' is generally known as one of the greatest jujutsu masters in the world, but is also a talented sculptor, calligrapher, philosopher, medical practicioner, Go player... and pretty much everything else he puts his mind to. Quoth Kenichi: "Is there a single thing this guy can't do!?"

** Answer: Be brave enough to take on [[Badass Grandpa|the Elder]] in combat, apparently; in one instance when Koetsuji is arguing with the other Ryozanpakou masters about which of them could beat the others in a fight, the Elder comes on the scene and asks to be involved in the discussion. ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|The other masters immediately change the subject]]''.

** Dante is more of an Ace in ''DMC4''. Every time he shows up he upstages Nero in some way and spends half the game killing the villains that Nero couldn't kill.

* Maniac from ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]]'' straddles the line between actually being The Ace and [[Small Name, Big Ego|merely pretending to be]]--he starts as a reckless nutcase with a superiority complex, but eventually becomes every bit as formidable as he thinks he is, with ''two thousand confirmed kills'' by the start of ''Wing Commander Prophecy''.

* Pierce in ''[[Battalion Wars]] 2''. He even {{spoiler|pulls off }}''{{spoiler|three}}'' {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]] moments in a single mission--the last one, no less}}.

* In most of the ''[[Fallout]]'' series, you can take the special trait "Mysterious Stranger," which lets the player be occasionally and spontaneously aided by a man in a coat and fedora, armed with a six-shooter, who shows up, shoots everyone who has any intent of hurting the player, and then leaves. It's rare that it happens, but his overwhelming badassery makes up for it.
