* In ''VideoGame/NewHorizons'', the heavy strike in the Maelstrom-version of the mod requires lots of stamina and hits slowly, but can power through blocks and inflict high damage. Bullets are even worse - unless covered behind something (or someone), or being lucky with armour, they will arm or kill. Impossible to block with blade.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' has the "fear" and "intimidate" keywords which cause this. Fear, most common on black creatures, prevents non-black and non-artifact creatures from blocking its attacks. Intimidate works similarly, preventing creatures other than those who share a color with the attacking creature (and, again, artifact creatures) from blocking.

Intimidate works similarly, preventing creatures other than those who share a color with the attacking creature (and, again, artifact creatures) from blocking. However, more recently, these keywords have become obsolete (as they provide certain advantages or disadvantages based ''directly'' on which colors your opponents play, which the designers are trying to move away from); Instead, more recently printed creatures just have rules text that state they can't be blocked, or abilities that allow them to become unblockable.
** Certain spells state that they cannot be countered, which includes both by literal counterspells the opponent might cast and also by the Ward ability of certain cards (an additional cost which an opponent must pay when targeting the card with a spell or ability; since Ward works by countering the spell if the cost isn't paid, a spell that cannot be countered can ignore ward).

* ''VideoGame/{{Soul|Series}}'' is much like ''Tekken'' in having unblockable attacks being slow but powerful attacks. In addition, the Soul Charge ability also present in the games makes some more common attacks unblockable as well. Some special weapons make their characters unable to block ''any'' attack, most notably Misturugi and the Damascus Blade. It makes up for it with greatly increased damage.

* ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has multiple tiers of priority for attacks and blocks, so determining what constitutes a proper Unblockable Attack is a bit tricky. But if your character has no moves with blocking property, then all HP attacks and some Braves are unblockable, if your character has a good-priority blocking move then HP attacks are unblockable, if you're Jecht, then nothing is unblockable but the high-priority ones will stagger you too, and if you're Exdeath, nothing is unblockable, [[GameBreaker full stop]]. And to mix things up a bit, there's the Emperor's Starfall attack: essentially no matter who you are, if he finishes casting Starfall, you ''are'' getting hit. ''If'' he finishes--Starfall requires about eight seconds to charge.

* In most ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games, there'll be an attack or a spell that can ignore defenses or defense enhancing buffs, thus the character will take full damage even with max defense. Likewise, some enemies have the ability to cause a status effect, even if you're wearing gear that is supposed to block said effects.
