** Tabuu from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''. Occasionally he'll leave explosions after teleporting, making following him around the stage a poor decision.
** In the same game, Meta Knight could exploit his Dimensional Cape move for an infinitely long duration; a tactic deemed so completely broken that it has been banned in tournament play.

* A defining characteristic of ''Franchise/{{Kirby}'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' endbosses:

* A defining characteristic of Hal Laboratory's & Masahiro Sakurai's videogame endbosses:

** Drawcia in ''VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse''

** Tabuu from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl''. Occasionally he'll leave explosions after teleporting, making following him around the stage a poor decision.
** Meta Knight could exploit his Dimensional Cape move for an infinitely long duration; a tactic deemed so completely broken that it has been banned in tournament play.
** It's now possible for a particularly skilled Kirby player to do this with the ESP ability introduced in VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot. The ability features a move called vanish, which allows kirby to simply vanish and then reappear somewhere else. Players can abuse this to avoid any attack including the 1 hit kill final attack by the TrueFinalBoss if you don't kill it fast enough.

* Kyd Wykkyd did this against Kid Flash in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Impressive, considering it was done against someone with SuperSpeed.

** Aqua's Ghost Drive style in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' has tons of afterimages, but they're magically generated illusions rather than pure speed or teleportation. There's also the Time Splicer technique she and Ventus can use, in which they cast Stop on enemies before warping around the field and doing a series of slashes. It ends with a Delayed Effect after Stop wears off.

** Kairi, [[TheChick of all people]], has this ability when she appears as a playable character in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind''. Her teleportation works much like Noctis' own from ''Final Fantasy XV'', in that she'll throw her Keyblade, then teleport to where it is launched, reaching her enemy in less than a second. Using this properly will be your main strategy in the fight against Armored Xehanort, because her normal speed is rather poor. On the hands of an expert player, most of the fight will be spent [[HighAltitudeBattle in midair]].

* In the ''WebVideo/MegaMan'' FanFilm, the eponymous robot gets his own teleporter and does this against Wily and Copy Robot. Odd, since in the games it's Wily, not Mega Man, who tends to do this.

* Great Tiger does this upon TKO in ''VideoGame/PunchOut Wii''.

** [[spoiler:Chester]]]] in ''Videogame/YsTheOathInFelghana'', accompanied by the "Whoosh!", and boy does he ''love'' spamming that move when he TurnsRed, especially the 2nd time you fight him.

* In ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden II'', the 360 one, some of Ryu's SpamAttack [[LimitBreak Ultimate Techniques]] have been upgraded to have him teleport during the executions.
** Later on, in ''Ninja Gaiden III: Razor's Edge'', the player can do it at will at the cost of some [[{{Mana}} Ninpo gauge]]. It's also one of the main aspects of [[CanonImmigrant Kasumi]]'s fighting style.

* Darm, the BigBad and FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} Book I and II'', does this, making hitting him and dodging the BulletHell fireballs even more difficult.
** [[spoiler:[[ThatOneBoss Chester]]]] in ''Videogame/YsTheOathInFelghana'', accompanied by the "Whoosh!", and boy does he ''love'' spamming that move when he TurnsRed, especially the 2nd time you fight him.

** In the comics, he could deck several opponents before the first hit the ground (though RealityEnsues to a slight degree - it's pretty painful on his knuckles to hit that hard that quickly).

* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' has a number of enemies that do this, most notably anything with "Soul" in its name and a few of the dream battle bosses. The Soul Master in particular has a final phase where one of his moves is to just teleport, slam the ground, repeat.

** Kairi, [[TheChick of all people]], has this ability when she appears as a playable character ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind''. Her variant of teleportation is much like Noctis from ''Final Fantasy XV'', in that she'll throw her Keyblade, then teleport to where it is launched, reaching her enemy in less than a second. Using this properly will be your main strategy in the fight against Armored Xehanort, because her normal speed is rather poor. On the hands of an expert player, most of the fight will be spent [[HighAltitudeBattle in midair]].

A common tactic of video game bosses. Very likely to cause a SnapToTheSide. InertiaIsACruelMistress could put a stop to it.

* In ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLightMultiverse'' It is now possible to upgrade the Teleporter to level 4. A level 4 Teleporter effectively has no delay, but the upgrade is incompatible with Reconstructive Teleporter for balance.

* ''VideoGame/{{Halo2}}'': The Prophet of Regret '''loves''' to do this during the Chief's boss fight with him, much to one's annoyance when attempting to chase him down, '''especially on Heroic/Legendary difficulties''' when surrounded by [[EliteMooks Honor Guards]] all over the damn place... that endlessly respawn until Regret's death.
