* ''[[Creator/TimDorsey Serge A. Storms]]'' : In [[spoiler:''The Riptide ultra-glide'']], Serge is OutGambitted by two assassins who only spare his life out of PragmaticVillainy (the continuing police manhunt for Serge will distract the cops from realizing what the assassins did). Serge threatens to reveal the truth, but the assassins point out he's insane and therefore not credible, which Serge concedes with a wry "Touche."

* When ''LetsPlay/{{Mangs}}'' is facing wolf_71 in an [[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars By Web]] tournament match, he makes a couple of outright ''devastating'' wins such as getting both Comms Towers and securing 4 extra properties. This means he, as Hawke, has a crippling +30% attack ''and'' 4000 extra money per turn, which basically means his victory is a foregone conclusion. wolf_71's only hope, as Von Bolt, is to begin hurling units at Mangs' in a desperate attempt to get enough charge to activate Ex Machina, which ''could'' cripple Mangs' troops enough to go for an [[InstantWinCondition HQ capture]]. After hurling everything he had, though, he only managed to charge his super power meter to 9.5 / 10. He then sends ''this'' private message to Mangs, and yields next turn:
--> Well, shit. So close.
