* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: So what if you have the YOLO gem equipped (which automatically leaves your opponent one win short of victory) and you go up against head-swelling Jefailey? His head immediately swells up to full size before the fight!

* MadMathematician: Dive's quotes almost always relate to math.
* MicDrop: This is Kick's win pose.

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

* FlawlessVictory: The Perfect message pops up completely at random, and every round is technically a perfect win.

* FlawlessVictory: Notable in that the Perfect message pops up completely at random, and that every round is technically a perfect win.
** Inverted: Get four out of five wins and the game signals a "Fraud Detection Warning." Win the next round and the message "Fraud Detected" shows up.
*** Double inverted - if the opponent manages to get a Detection Aversion, and they make a 4-4 comeback, the game will signal a "Choke Detection Warning" instead, and should the player lose again they will get a "Choke Detected" stamp.

* RocketTagGameplay: To the extreme--''one'' hit [=KOs=] the opponent, so it's all about who lands the hit.

** <Redacted>'s "name" could possibly refer to the SCPFoundation and it's notorious use of covering up parts of articles with said "name".

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

* 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.

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