* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': ''[[VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry DmC]]'' reimagined Vergil's Trick teleport as one of these. Vergil's counterpart to Dante's GrapplingHookPistol form of the Rebellion involves him shooting out a summoned sword, which causes a teleport. Who gets teleported depends on whether it was the [[StanceSystem Devil or Angel version]] of Trick, with the former teleporting Vergil's target to him and the latter teleporting him to his target instead. This version of Trick was eventually implemented into the main series starting from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'', although the mainline Vergil doesn't have the Demon version of Trick.

* ''TabletopGame/HcSvntDracones'': The Slingshunt rifle uses Pulse's experimental "snap shunt" teleportation technology to create a particle channel between the shooter and the target, and then teleport the shooter along that channel half a second later.

** Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, would frequently utilize the Flying Thunder God Technique, a reality-bending technique that resembles teleportation, by engraving the technique's formula into kunai, letting him teleport to the kunai at any time. Minato used this for attack and defense, scattering the kunai throughout the battlefield to escape enemy attacks and teleport into enemy blind spots.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'': Thor can bring himself to his hammer Mjlönir, which he demonstrates in his opening strike against Kratos, when it sends the former god of war flying across Midgard by his chin before Thor catches up to him, midflight, to growl to Kratos about the blood debt he owes him. Later Thor uses the same ability to traverse tall heights alongside [[spoiler:Atreus.]]

** Sasuke's Amenotejikara technique lets him swap places with whatever his left eye is currently focused on. He most frequently uses his sword as the other object for this technique to avoid attacks and set traps for his enemies.[[/folder]]

* ''Fanfic/CorAutemAurora'': As per the source material, Noctis can teleport to the locations he tosses his weapons at. Seeing this, Kairi demands he teaches her how to do it with her Keyblade. Noctis at first is at a loss at how to explain the trick, but apparently it's based on the steps to create a barrier spell. He warns Kairi against using it too often because it's a massive energy drain.

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGearStrive'': Testament's "Grave Reaper" special sends a bloody skull projectile out, and wherever it ends, a tiny succubus will be left in its place. Testament then can use "Possession" to swap places with the succubus, allowing them to close distance after zoning out their opponent.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'': [[Characters/FinalFantasyXVNoctisLucisCaelum Noctis]]'s "Warp Strike" has him throw his equipped weapon at a target, then immediately teleport to its position so he can continue attacking up close. Not only that, but it also does more damage based on how far he can toss the weapon forward, saving him some time for finishing off enemies.

* ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'': A {{Downplayed|Trope}} example: Hyde can fire projectile "Black Orbiter", and then immediately follow up with "Bend Sinister", a leaping slash that travels more or less the same range as the projectile.

* ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': One of the Gadget-of-the-week is the Moving Bow and Arrow, an arrow with a cord attached to the shooter and a circular target, where upon being fired the arrow (which appears to have anti-gravity functions) will carry the shooter automatically to where the target is located, regardless of size. Doraemon and Nobita had quite some fun zipping around the neighborhood and trolling their neighbors with it until a stray dog mistakes the target for a frisbee and drops it into a dirty river after playing with it - cue Nobita and Doraemon comically splashing into garbage-filled waters.

** A cinematic variant occurs with Pantheon's ultimate, "Grand Starfall". After targeting an area of the map, he throws his spear onto the point -from thousands of feet in the air, mind you- and then comes crashing down like a comet onto everything in the spear's area. What downplays this trope is that the spear toss is purely for spectacle; Pantheon's player is simply just clicking somewhere and then teleporting the character.

* ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'': K' has his "Chain Drive" super introduced in ''KOF '99''; he uses his '''sunglasses''' as a projectile, tossing them forward at his opponent. Then if it connects, he {{flash step}}s in front of his opponent and proceeds to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat the life out of them]].

* ''VideoGame/Tekken7'': [[Characters/FinalFantasyXVNoctisLucisCaelum Noctis]] appears as a GuestFighter and brings the Warp Strike from his home game as a special move, granting an unorthodox form of mobility and offense for the series' fighters.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'': Thor can bring himself to his hammer Mjlönir, which he demonstrates in his opening strike against Kratos, which sends the former god of wae flying across Midgard by his chin before Thor catches up to him, midflight, to growl to Kratos about the blood debt he owes him. Later Thor uses the same ability to traverse tall heights alongside [[spoiler:Atreus.]]

Imagine a GrapplingHookGun, only there's no actual grappling hook. Instead the user fires some projectile at a target, and then be it by magic, tech or otherwise, swooshes towards that target's position.

The technique often serves a dual-purpose of mobility and offense, with both the projectile and the user travel having damaging properties, but this is not necessary for the trope to be in effect.

* ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': One of the Gadget-of-the-week is the Moving Bow and Arrow, an arrow with a cord attached to the shooter and a circular target, where upon being fired the arrow (which appears to have anti-gravity functions) will carry the shooter automatically to where the target is located, regardless of size.

Not only that, but it also the does more damage based on how far he can toss the weapon forward, saving him some time for finishing off enemies.

** Vex's ultimate ability, "Shadow Surge", fires a magical blast that damages the first enemy champion hit. Then once Vex casts the command again, she goes dashing towards that enemy for extra damage, and then time to lay down a full burst-damage combo.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006:'' Sonic's optional White Gem power has him throw the gem,and then flies straight towards wherever the gem lands--and the farther away the gem lands, the faster he flies towards it. It's very easy for Sonic to exploit these rules by overshooting the gem and blasting clear across the map.
* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'': Vega's V-Trigger, "Bloody Kiss", has him throw a rose forward. If it hits his opponent, Vega will perform a multi-hitting slash attack in their wake, [[LauncherMove propping up his oppoenent for a juggle combo]].

* ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'': Hyde can fire projectile, "Black Orbiter", and then immediately follow up with "Bend Sinister", a leaping slash that travels more or less the same range as the projectile.

If the projectile warps the target rather than the shooter, it's a TeleportGun. If the projectile ''and'' the user move at the same time, it's FastballSpecial..

* ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' has a translocator for some teamplay multiplayer modes, and also allows it to be enabled in any mode if desired. It launches a beacon that teleports the player on command, but it may also be damaged by the enemy. ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2003'' adds a camera that allows the player to see what's at the destination to see if it's safe to teleport, but also adds a cooldown to prevent constant use.
