History Videogame / DiveKick

* CreativeClosingCredits: In the form of HilariousOuttakes with Keits and Lang, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9E39IkEYJQ here]].

* GameplayGrading: One build rates the winner at the end of a match in three categories: Diving, Kicking, and Not Losing.

''[=DiveKick=]'' is an independent FightingGame co-developed by Adam "Keits" Heart's One True Game Studios and Iron Galaxy Studios. The game is known for requiring only two buttons to play (one to jump, one to divekick) and [[RocketTagGameplay all battles being decided in a single hit]].

!!''[=DiveKick=]'' contains examples of:

* TakeThat: The game has [[VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken gems that increase diving and kicking]], and, in an early build, [[DownloadableContent one DLC gem that you needed to pay $8.95 for that does both]]. It could also have counted as a bigger TakeThat to Creator/{{Capcom}}'s DLC policy in general. It's worth noting that the DLC gem required a third button, which ''[=DiveKick=]'' doesn't use. Later subverted when said gem was taken out and replaced with 2 more gems - the Style Gem and the YOLO Gem.

* CreatorCouple: Adam "Keits" Heart (gameplay design) and his wife, Anna Heart (artist).

** Stream's name is a pun on "stream monster", while he himself is an Expy of [[MarvelVSCapcom3 Firebrand]].

* AffectionateParody: Of fighting games in general.

The game was released on {{Playstation 3}}, PlaystationVita and {{Steam}} on August 20, 2013. A {{PlayStation 4}} version was announced at PAX Prime 2013, with no release date as of yet.

** Adding further to shout-out parallels to Fresh Prince is an entire stage filled with them. It's a baseball court, and the music that plays is almost-but-not-quite a version of the show's famed intro song.

* CurbStompBattle: Win against someone four rounds in a row, and the screen will show a message saying "Fraud Detection Warning." Win, and the message changes into "Fraud Detected"; lose and it changes to "Detection Averted" before disappearing the following round. Allowing a 4-4 tie after setting off Fraud Detection has the game show the message "Choke Detection Warning" instead.

** The YOLO Gem takes this further; [[GlassCannon you get boosted stats but one hit will make you lose the entire match]].

* FourOneNineScam: Parodied by one of Sensei's tips, which starts with now his cousin is allegedly a Nigerian prince.

-->''"It's very likely that you've used the term Metagame in an attempt to sound smart, but you've accomplished the opposite by misusing it. Please stop."''

** Another loading screen tip makes fun of rage over online games by saying that if the other guy is swearing and screaming racial slurs, he's just trying to tell you "good game".

The game is currently set for a release on {{Playstation 3}}, PlaystationVita and {{Steam}} on August 20, 2013.

** One of the loading screen tips says to play without items and exert dominance over players who do otherwise. This looks suspiciously like a sarcastic reference to tournament-style ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' play, which is infamous for banning items and entire levels for the sake of balance.
