* Giovanni Potage of ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'' seems to have no formal combat training and instead applies a mixture of his [[SwissArmySuperpower soup powers]] and his notable baseball skill in combat. Mostly this just consists of [[BatterUp hitting people with the bat]] (which is surprisingly effective when he's charged up a guaranteed CriticalHit), but he also manages to knock Sylvie on his ass with a high-velocity ball of yarn.
-->'''Giovanni:''' I may not be the best supervillain in the world just yet, but when it comes to baseball, [[LargeHam I CAN'T BE BEAT!]]

** Timothy 'Leech' Jenkins has one of the highest accuracy scores in the game, cultivated from his previous career as a world-class trapshooter. While of average physical stats, and thus not as swift or durable as more professional soldiers, he seems to have switched to mercenary work quite well. Disturbingly well, given his comments that shooting people is more fun than clay pigeons because they scream.

* In Manga/FinalFantasyLostStranger'', Shogo joined the competitive archery club back in high school for the sake of living out his fantasies as being a Ranger in ''Final Fantasy''. Although he explicitly learned the ritualistic kind for sport, his skills prove handy when he becomes an adventurer, as he proves to be a great (but not infallible) shot and his ability to fight at range helps him overcome his lack of strength and experience.
