He appears confident as he plays a mysterioys, serious figure. However, he loses on his last chip. The film flashes forward to present day. The man goes to the same dealer asking for one more hand. However, he hides a gun under the table. He pulls it on his rival, only to have a much larger gun pointed at him. The skit then reveals that it is an enzyte commercial and ends.
- ~~echochamber:okgvnBCAI~~ The Ace is someone who is ridiculously good at what they do, whatever that happens to be, and everyone knows it. People look up to him, envy him, are in awe of him. He has a reputation for doing the impossible, and may be Shrouded in Myth, as people are unable to separate his real accomplishments from unfounded rumors. In a work revolving around a specific activity, any kind of Serious Business, the Ace will be the best at it. In works lacking that sort of focus, they'll probably be extremely talented at everything. The Ace is rarely the protagonist, typically acting as the living embodiment of Always Someone Better. They'll drive the protagonist to greater efforts either out of envy or by inspiring them. As such, if they're a main character, expect them to be either The Rival or The Mentor. If they're a minor but reoccurring character, then they'll almost certainly be Hero of Another Story. However The Hero typically evolves into an Ace by the end of their story by virtue of having the most potential to unlock. By the time this happens the real Ace would've been hit by The Worf Effect a few times, that or they two will just finally be standing on equal ground. It is common in Romance stories, as what they are good at usually has little effect on the romantic plot. If the ace's talent is operating combat vehicles, then they're an Ace Pilot, but note that not all ace pilots are an example of the Ace. If the ace's private life isn't nearly as great as it seems from the outside, then they're a Broken Ace. Take this too far and you risk accusations of a Mary Sue. If he isn't really that amazing, then see Feet of Clay or Fake Ultimate Hero. If his talent is due to intelligence instead of simple awesomeness, see Impossible Genius. See Ultimate Lifeform for a character that is literally perfect. No Real Life Examples, Please. Examples of The Ace include:
