Val's fighting style is very much like Oberyn Martell. In fact, when I read the books, I /immediately/ thought that he very well fit Val's typical description and style, although Val mainly uses his lance for show and prefers to dual wield daggers. He does, however, prioritize speed and his ability to dodge over armor. Val fights dirty too, using whatever is around as a weapon if he thinks it'll help him gain the upper hand. He also acts a bit like Oberyn, minus the bisexual thing. If he wasn't so entirely homophobic, I could certainly see him being like that. He also isn't rich. He's more of a vagabond.
As far as humor/commentary, anyone that's been around Val has known he's VERY much like Archer.
I've also posted it before, but Kanji Tatsumi is very Val-like. He's brash, irrational, gets into trouble, and freaks out when someone even remotely assumes that he likes anything other than women. Val also secretly knits. He makes a lot of Faye's clothes. (Go to 2:54 to actually see Kanji, and then more around 7:27 and beyond)
