Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'': Drive's three primary forms specialize in these.
** Type Speed is, as the name suggests, specialized in high-speed combat.
** Type Wild is the strong form, sacrificing speed for higher physical strength and better defenses.
** Type Technic is the smart form, giving Shinnosuke AwesomenessByAnalysis as well as the power to see things behind him.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/HeroesEvolved'': After a majority of MOBA games opted to follow the model set by ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', this game instead followed the model set by ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'', once again categorizing their heroes with their three main stats: Strength, Intelligence and Agility.

* The Cheetahmen from ''VideoGame/Action52'' have this dynamic. As their [[ComicBook/TheCheetahmen comic book]] would go into more detail on, Aries is the smallest and most nimble, Apollo spent much of his upbringing reading books and learning all about the ways of the world, and Hercules has the most raw strength.



* ''VideoGame/PokemonX&Y'': The fully-evolved starters mix this trope with FighterMageThief. The Water/Dark-type Greninja is Speed, the Fire/Psychic-type Delphox is Smarts and the Grass/Fighting-type Chesnaught is Strength.

Compare with FighterMageThief, which may overlap with this. Compare ForceAndFinesse, where Force represent Brawn while Finesse can mean either Speed or Brains. Compare also CombatDiplomacyStealth, where the three qualities of this trope are used in not just combat situations. Compate BeautyBrainsAndBrawn, which is basically this trope but with beauty instead of speed, and BalanceSpeedStrengthTrio.

* ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'': The original Young Justice team consisted of ComicBook/{{Impulse}} who is part of Franchise/TheFlash family and has SuperSpeed, [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin (Tim Drake)]] who is part of the Franchise/{{Batman}} family and exceptionally smart and [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Superboy (Conner Kent)]], who is a clone of Franchise/{{Superman}} and thus super-strong. The three also formed a FreudianTrio as noted by Red Tornado in the very first issue of the series.
* The New 52 Flash series introduces more dimensions like the Speed Force that power different powersets. First is the Strength Force, which makes channelers hulk out, granting super strength, [[DishingOutDirt control over earth]], gravity powers and density powers. The other is the Sage Force, which grants super intelligence and a wide variety of telepathic powers.

Changed the listing order of the three character archetypes


For a FightingSeries, the way characters fight can be rounded down to 3 general styles: One who fights with brute force (the Strength), one who fights by swift attacks and moving quickly (the Speed), and one who fights with his wits and intelligence (the Smarts). Individually, they're TheSneakyGuy, TheSmartGuy and TheBigGuy.
