Line 88:
** A noteworthy mention is the Bullet Bills, as well as other cannon balls. Not only can you outrun them easily (Assuming you have space to run) but you can even jump on them.
* In ''[[Pickory]]'', it is possible to shoot downwards while in mid air and then fall onto your own bullet. Naturally, [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|this kills you]].
* In ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'', one of the boss fights involves a giant Bullet Bill (as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]'') which moves slowly enough for you to either destroy it by shooting it numerous times, or duck under it by [[Double Jump|double jumping]].
Line 95:
* ''[[Star Wars]]: Empire at War'' and its expansion. Although usually the targets are too slow to get out of the way, the concussion missiles and proton torpedoes are really, really slow.
* Arrows and siege ammo in the first two [[Age of Empires]] games could be dodged by any moving unit, at almost any distance, because no unit in either game is able to lead their shots without [[You Have Researched Breathing|research.]] In the first game one could easily see two groups of archers doing a little "dodge-dance" in between shooting each other.
* ''[[Warhammer
* In Starcraft2, the Raven's Seeker Missile is so slow that it can be outrun by most ground units. Speaking of which, why are ground units often faster than SPACECRAFT?
** The Seeker Missile is [[All There in the Manual|explained]] as having been developed more as a guided mine for deep space territory denial.
Line 141:
* In the film ''[[Runaway]]'', the villain [[Kiss|Gene Simmons]] has a pistol that shoots homing bullets. From the bullets [[Arrow Cam|point of view]] they travel only slightly faster than their running targets.
* ''[[The Last Airbender]]'' has the ''very'' infamous "Pebble Dance", which involves ''seven'' Earthbenders throwing a rock roughly the size of a human head, which travels at most two miles per hour. To contrast, in the original [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|cartoon]], a single Earthbender could launch a boulder forty times larger at least fifty miles per hour.
