* The Dwarves of ''WarhammerOnline'' have a tactic that is a partial example of this. The tactic is called "Stoutness of Stone" and it allows them to recover from being knocked down or stunned in half the time they normally would.
* In ''Videogame/{{Clonk}}'' mage fights, a GoodBadBug allows you to stop tumbling by casting a spell you started aiming before being hit by an attack.
** In the Eke Reloaded pack, using a jetpack stops you from tumbling.
* ''GuildWars'' has a few stances, enchantments, and a ward that does this.
* One class in ''RagnarokOnline'' - The Swordsman and its variants - has a skill that does that, and it makes lots of sense, with the sheer amoung of mobs rallied in one train, or adds following the MVP boss.
* In the [[DawnOfWar Dark Crusade]] campaign, some heroes can use wargear that reduces the effects of knockback.
* In TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames, there's a ring that can be found that considerably reduces the distance you get pushed back. Can be quite useful when most powerful enemies knock you back when ''you'' hit ''them''.
* A few ''{{Pokemon}}'' (Cradily for example) have the Ingrain move that allows them to root themselves into the ground to prevent [[SwitchOutMove being removed from battle]], though this might be a stretch.
* ''[[SoulSeries Soul Calibur IV]]'' allows you to Ukemi or Just Ukemi as you are knocked to the ground in order to instantly stand up or roll.
* TheDishwasher often allows you to dodge in the middle of a knockback... or, for that matter, ''any other action'' that you normally wouldn't be able to attack or move in. ''[[HarderThanHard This tactic is absolutely vital in the first game]]'' and highly recommended in the second.
* ''Prototype'' lets you purchase the ability to do just that with a quick tap of the jump button. Alternately, you can just air-dash.
* ''DCUniverseOnline'' lets you use Breakout to stop being knocked back and grant yourself a brief control immunity. Unusually for this trope, this is not without cost - Breakout costs valuable energy.

[[AC:FightingGame]]
* ''SuperSmashBros'' allows you to do a quick recovery when you're knocked into a wall or the floor, either flipping or rolling to your feet when hitting the ground, or keeping yourself from smacking into a wall. If your character can wall-jump, you can use that to recover when hitting a wall.
* ''[[SoulSeries Soul Calibur IV]]'' allows you to Ukemi or Just Ukemi as you are knocked to the ground in order to instantly stand up or roll.
