* PokemonSpeak: Wolverine knows only one word: "'''UNACCEPTABLE!'''" [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Guess where he got that from]].

** Parodying [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 the last game he came from]], Wolverine's divekick makes people bounce off the floor and fly off the screen.

** [=Wolverine=] is pretty obviously [[PettingZooPeople an actual]] {{Main/Wolverine}}, referencing [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 his forays into fighting games]].

''{{VideoGame/DiveKick}}'' (Sometimes known as ''Dive Kick'') is a FightingGame that was made by One True Game studios, a company comprised of [[UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity known fighting game players]] like Keits and [=UltraDavid=].
The game is known for being outrageously simplistic design, requiring only two buttons to play (One for diving, one for kicking), and a very small number of sprites for every character.

This game made an appearance at the Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 8, where there was a tournament of {{Videogame/DiveKick}} made, despite the limited cast.

** Inverted if a player get kicked on the head. The next round will make that player not only slower and dive at a much lower height, but it also prevents them from gaining any meter. This is noted by the player glowing yellow.

** Mr. N is essentially FGC member Marn dressed up as [[StreetFighter Rufus from Street Fighter]]. Mr. N's backstory bears many similarities to a real life occurrence in which Marn, who was in charge of [[GuiltyGear]] brackets at a tournament, completely messed up the job and thus killed much of the community's interest in the game. Mr. N was developer Keits's [[TakeThat]] to Marn.

** Dr. Victoria Shoals is a [[GenderSwap Genderswapped]] [[FantasticFour Doctor Doom]], taking his Foot Dive from [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3]].

** Kung Pao is essentially a [[GenderSwap Genderswapped]] [[MortalKombat Kung Lao]], referencing the new MK.

** Referencing [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 the last game he came from]], Wolverine's divekick can make people bounce of the floor and fly off the screen.

** Subverted if a player get kicked on the head. The next round will make that player not only slower and dive at a much lower height, but it also prevents them from gaining any meter. This is noted by the player glowing yellow.

* FlawLessVictory: Notable in a couple of ways. For one, every round is a perfect win, but the actual "Perfect" win text only shows up randomly. And secondly, getting four wins straight will cause the game to display a Fraud Detection Warning. If a fifth win is accumulated to close the set, the opponent is deemed a Fraud by the game. If the other player disrupts the streak, "Detection Averted" will appear.

* DivingKick: A core mechanic (or, rather, the ''only mechanic'' of the game).

** It's worth noting that the DLC gem requires a third button, which DiveKick doesn't use.

* TakeThat: The game has [[Main/StreetFighterXTekken gems that increase diving and kicking]], and [[DownloadableContent one DLC gem that you need to pay $8.95 that does both]]. It could also count as a bigger TakeThat to [[{{Main/Capcom}} Capcom's DLC policy in general]].

->"Death from above! Round One! Dive Kick!"

** Dive is an expy of [[StreetFighter Street Fighter's Yun]].
** Kick is not only an expy of [[StreetFighter Yang]], but he also references WillSmith.

* CurbStompBattle: Win four rounds against someone in a row, and the screen will show a message saying "Fraud Detection Warning". Win, and the message changes into "Fraud Detected".

* DoneTheirResearch: Each character has the exact angle of their divekicks match the actual characters they were expied from.

* OneHitPointWonder: Probably the only fighting game example. One missed Dive or Kick is all it takes to get KO'ed.
