History Characters / DiveKick

* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}. In early builds, the character was even called Wolverine, but for obvious reasons, the name was changed—or, more accurately, [[JustForPun reda]][[MeaningfulName cted]]. She's also a general parody of animal fighters in games, such as [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Kuma, Panda, Alex, and Roger]], or [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Riptor and Sabrewulf]].

* VillainousBreakdown: He looks ''absolutely enraged'' in his dizzy animation. The dizzy animation you get from Headshotting him

Uncle Sensei may have sent Mr. N to the losers bracket, but his career ended later that day after Mr. N paid a massive sum to have the brackets rigged in his favor. Officials noticed the foul play too late, and the tournament was in such disarray that the entire event was cancelled and everyone was disqualified. Unable to afford fees for the following year, Sensei was forced into retirement. Mr. N can usually be found riding to coattails of his best friend, upcoming Divekick superstar Dustin Weinburger, and is usually behind any sort of foul play that may occur at a tournament. Mr. N owes the mob a lot of money, and is constantly on the run.

* PettingZooPeople: She's a bipedal wolver[[VerbalBackspace ...]] skunk-bear

* AffectionateParody: Of MortalKombat. Designed similarly to and kicks like Kung Lao, talks like Liu Kang, and her story is lifted straight from Kitana.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: [[CaptainObvious A pretty extreme example]]: He's a pixelated silhouette.

* CasanovaWannabe: In his main win pose, a [[HotScoop female news correspondent]] comes out to report on the finished match. Mr. N will try to put an arm around her, but she discretely steps away while telling him, "No, you may not."

* ShoutOut: His fireball special is similar to [[GhostsNGoblins Red Arremer's]].

** The Kickbox refers to Hitbox, an arcade controller that consists entirely of buttons, making it much harder to learn to use but offering much quicker and more precise input when mastered, fitting with his DifficultButAwesome motif.

* {{Troll}}

* [[spoiler:EasilyForgiven: By Kenny, even if Mr. N caused the former's death.]]

** PoisonousFriend: His home stage is the JEO Main Stage (same as Jefailey and Markman), and in the former's rival battle against him, he tries to ban Mr. N from JEO events. The game also makes it clear that he's a hanger-on to Dustin Weinburger and inadvertently kills Kenny to make him lose in his match against him.

* [[spoiler:BeautifulAllAlong]]: [[spoiler:Her ending reveals she's apparently recovered from Ped Urino, showing off a flawless and beautiful face.]]

* [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep His Name Really Is Uncle Sensei]]: According to [[WordOfGod word of Keits]], it's on his driver's license.

* [[spoiler:ComicallyMissingThePoint: This is what gets him rejected again in his ending. It's a tournament about Divekicking, not shocking people to death.]]

** ShoutOut: Both the technique itself and the EWGF acronym are shout outs to ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', Julio's favorite fighting game series. The Kickbox also refers to Hitbox, an arcade controller that consists entirely of buttons, making it much harder to learn to use but offering much quicker and more precise input when mastered, fitting with his DifficultButAwesome motif.

** ManaDrain: If the item is the chemistry set, it creates a cloud that will drain the Kick Meter of any character in it - including Mark.
** OilSlick: One of the items he can find.
** SpringsSpringsEverywhere: Another one of the items he can find.
** StickySituation: If the item is glue, it'll create a large stain of glue on the ground. Anybody landing on it is momentarily unable to move, leaving them vunerable to a kick.
** UnrealisticBlackHole: If any player steps on it, they keep falling in a loop until they kick out of it.

* [[DoubleJump Double Dive]]: Stream is capable of this, but it's also a prerequisite for him to even kick while in the air.

* [[DoubleJump Double Dive]]: He can teleport twice before kicking

* {{Expy}}: He's ''Franchise/StreetFighter'''s Yun, with a ton of WillSmith references thrown in.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Wears toeless legwear, similar to [[StreetFighterIV Juri Han]].

* {{Crossover}}: He appears as a minor boss in ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', fighting Shovel Knight after being rejected by the Order of No Quarter and mistaking Shovel Knight for a member.

* NotMeThisTime: He fights S-Kill like everybody else, but it's shown that it's someone using the image of S-Kill to try and kill Gat.

* HeroesPreferSwords: When the Fencer uses his ground special while unarmed, he will roll on the ground and pick up a sword from Nidhogg.

* {{Expy}}: A female DoctorDoom, taking his design, his first name (though changed to be the female equivalent), and his Foot Dive move from the last two ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' games.

* ShoutOut: ''LiveActionTV/FreshPrinceOfBelAir'' references aside, many of his defeat quotes are him just blurting out the names of WillSmith movies (or occasionally one of his early rap songs.)

* {{Expy}}: The design is the realization of a rejected character design from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''. In particular, the design was highlighted in a [[TwoBestFriendsPlay Fighterpedia]] video about [[http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/oct/30/fighterpedia-episode-1-rejected-street-fighters/ rejected SF designs]].

* DittoFighter: [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Mokujin]]ner type, changing between rounds. He only gains their kick and any special properties directly related to it (Jefailey's charged kicks, Stream's mid-air steering), but not any special moves. He also couldn't copy Uncle Sensei's hand dive. [[spoiler:Which becomes a plot point as he approaches Sensei to learn it from him.]] As of Addition Edition, he no longer can copy The Baz's kick, as he has no rope to swing from.

* GuestFighter: From ''VideoGame/Nidhogg'', the second guest character in the game after Johnny Gat.

* WhenAllElseFailsGoRight: Instead of boosting his stats, The Fencer's Kick Factor will pop up the "GO!" indicator from Nidhogg and he now has the option to reach the other side of the screen to win the fight instead of landing a divekick or a sword throw.

* GuestFighter: The second one in this game after Johnny Gat.
