History Characters / FantasyStrike

* ArcherArchetype: Her main style, using arrows [[PlayingWithFire made of fire]]. According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsFTkcThuFQ her spotlight video]], Midori taught her archery to balance out her fiery and reckless personality.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Characters/StreetFighterAkuma Akuma]].

* {{Shotoclone}}: Just like [[Characters/StreetFighterAkuma Akuma]].

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Characters/StreetFighterRyu Ryu]]. His wind powers also bring [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Rachel Alucard]] to mind.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Characters/StreetFighterKenMasters Ken]]. She's got the same basic special moves, and a similar temper to him, on top of being one of the main two characters alongside Grave.

* JustForPun: His Troq Armor is named after Rook's Rock Armor.

* {{Expy}}: Most characters are based off of characters from other games, such as ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.[[WhatCouldHaveBeen The game was originally going to feature the actual cast of Street Fighter]]. Capcom considered it, but ultimately rejected the idea.

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Defeated the formerly undefeated Rook in his own tournament, paralleling the story between [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ryu and Sagat]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ryu]]. His wind powers also bring [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Rachel Alucard]] to mind.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ken]]. She's got the same basic special moves, and a similar temper to him, on top of being one of the main two characters alongside Grave.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Gouken]] lore-wise, and of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter E. Honda]] with his grappling techniques.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ibuki]] mechanically, and of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Sakura]] lore-wise.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Zangief]] mechanically. Also shares many lore similarities to [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Sagat]].

* {{Expy}}: Her Bold Stroke, which can be chained up to three times, is highly reminiscent of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Fei Long]]'s Rekkaken.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Guile]], due to his projectile and upwards kick attack (which even has "Flash" in its name). He has a gear meter that must be full to use his special attacks and empties whenever he walks forwards, filling the purpose Guile's charge commands that prevent him from walking forwards and using his specials. Also bears a similarity to [[Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist Hoenheim]].
* {{Shoryuken}}: His Flash Gear, which resembles [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Guile's Flash Kick]]. It comes out quickly and gives him brief invulnerability, making it a great attack to use while cornered.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Blanka]] due to his rolling. In ''Fantasy Strike'', he also gains elements of [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Faust]] with his random item throws that include food that can be picked up by both players, bombs that can hurt both players, and a miniature version of Lum that crawls forwards and deals CollisionDamage.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Dhalsim]] due to his stretching limbs he uses to attack. ''Fantasy Strike'' also gives him Dhalsim's downwards drill attack and slow-moving projectiles to further the resemblance.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Dhalsim]], like Argagarg. Also thematically similar to [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 Sentinel]].

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/StreetFighter M. Bison]] mechanically. Also bears some visual similarities to [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Wesker]], including trenchcoat and glasses.

* PandaingToTheAudience: Kind of adorable in his own way, despite being a fully-grown bear.

* BareYourMidriff: And quite a lot more as well.

* BareYourMidriff: Has an unusual variation that exposes her sides, but does not include her navel.

* BareYourMidriff: She lacks a shirt entirely, while wearing the remaining components of an otherwise modest dress.

* BareYourMidriff: Just like her sister.

* InTheHood: Wears her hood up, in contrast with her sister. [[PaperThinDisguise Does nothing to]] [[BareYourMidriff hide her]] bluish-gray skin.

* UpToEleven: The EX-Mode takes each character's abilities to the extreme. It is not meant to be balanced to the level that the regular mode is, but it does allow for some [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill crazy scenarios]].

* ImmuneToFlinching: His Windmill Crusher move has armor against fast normal attacks. His Rock Armor ability allows him to armor through ''any'' attacks other than Super Moves and those that knock him down. [[UpToEleven In EX-Mode, his Rock Armor becomes Diamond Armor, allowing him to use its effect at will for free.]]

* FragileSpeedster: Has below-average life, but has naturally fast attacks and can make them even faster with her [[FlashStep Burst of Speed]] technique. Also has the most combo points in the game (tied with Setsuki, Gwen, and Deathstrike Dragon). [[UpToEleven In EX-Mode, she gains even more combo points, going up to a total of 8 in a game where 6 is normally the highest.]]

* OnlyOneName: Does not seem to have a last name, along with his brother.

* GradualGrinder: Although some characters are better at playing the long game than others, any character can win by having the most absolute health by the time either player runs out of cards. [[MyDefenseNeedNotProtectMeForever Deliberate blocking can speed up this process]].

* GradualGrinder: Can deal a lot of indirect damage outside of the normal combat phase if given the opportunity to build up a hand.

* GradualGrinder: Deals DamageOverTime so long as he is standing.

* GradualGrinder: His preferred playstyle is to poison the opponent, then keep them away to let the poison do its job.

* GradualGrinder: A combination of her abilities allows her to damage both herself and her opponent, while healing it back on the former.

* AscendedMeme: His ultimate super move, Beast Unleashed, is named after the FanNickname of competitive fighting-game player Daigo Umehara.

** FanNickname: This combo, combined with the Overdose ability (which is on the same card as the super move as well), can end up doing more damage than Menelker's Deathstrike Dragon super move. As such, it is often referred to as ''Deathstrike Drugs''.

* FanNickname: The card that contains his Acrobatics ability can also be used as a throw. This throw is often dubbed Ac'''''throw'''''batics.

* AscendedMeme: In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Wesker's]] hyper attack Phantom Dance was given the FanNickname of Maximum Wesker. Zane's [[LimitBreak ultimate attack]] has him removing his goggles in a similar fashion and is named accordingly.

* ALoadOfBull: Is a minotaur of some variety.

* BadassBeard: As both a human and a dragon.

* StandardStatusEffects: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; while he can breath clouds of noxious poison, they do not cause any lasting effect on his opponent.

* StandardStatusEffects: In EX-Mode, his claws become venomous and can inflict a poison effect.

* OnlyOneName: Does not seem to have a last name, along with his brother.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Of at least Grade B.

* DesperationAttack: Gains the ability to [[CastFromHitPoints buy back]] her most powerful techniques at low health. In EX-Mode, this can be done at [[SubvertedTrope any life point total]].

* BareYourMidriff: Has an unusual variation that exposes her sides, but does not include her navel.

* {{Expy}}: Most characters are based off of characters from other games, such as ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.[[WhatCouldHaveBeen The game was originally going to feature the actual cast of Street Fighter]]. Capcom considered it, but ultimately rejected the idea.
