3-->--''SUGURI''[='=]s opening cinematic
4
5''SUGURI'' is a horizontal {{bullet hell}} [[ShootEmUp shoot 'em up]] developed by the doujin circle [[Creator/OrangeJuice Orange_Juice]] and was released in 2005 at Comiket 69 for Windows PC. It stars the title character, Suguri, a girl armed to the teeth with a variety of powerful weapons working to protect her home world from similarly adorable girls who are under orders to wipe out all life on the planet and take it as their own. The game features an auto-targeting system which allows the player to fire in directions other than the usual "straight ahead", a dashing system which can be used to absorb certain types of bullets to charge up a Hyper Gauge to unleash a [[LimitBreak Hyper Attack]], a variety of unlockable weapons, and multiple different modes of gameplay.
6
7A sequel, ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' was released during Comiket 70 the following year, followed by an {{expansion pack}}, ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'', releasing a few months after at Comiket 71, both for Windows PC. Unlike its predecessor, ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' is a one-on-one shoot 'em up and {{fighting|Game}} game hybrid inspired by the ''VideoGame/{{Senko no Ronde}}'', with both single-player and local and online multiplayer modes. It features the same cast as the original game, and presents the player with short "WhereAreTheyNow" cutscenes for completing the Arcade Mode for certain characters of the game with a single credit. The ''X-Edition'' expansion pack also adds two story modes and several new characters.
8
9The series has been localized to the United States by doujin game publisher Rockin' Android for PC, both as part of a ''SUGURI - Perfect Edition'' compilation on DVD, and individually through digital distribution platforms [=GamersGate=] and [=Direct2Drive=] in 2009. ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'' was later released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 by Rockin' Android on February 15th, 2011 as a downloadable game on UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation Network}}, which features [[ArtShift redrawn artwork]] by Keiko Sakurai, [[AchievementSystem PlayStation Network Trophies]], and the ability to share replays on Website/YouTube, although lacks the online play functionality and certain [[UnlockableContent character unlocking conditions]] being changed for the [=PlayStation=] 3 version due to being a combination of both the base game and the expansion pack. Rockin' Android later released an [[UpdatedRerelease HD version]] of ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'' for PC on DESURA on June 25th, 2012 with the option of using the original or updated [=PlayStation=] Network graphics, support for higher resolutions, and the online multiplayer absent from [=PlayStation=] Network version. On May 30th, 2013, a digitally released compilation of the series along with their original soundtracks, aptly-named the ''SUGURI Collection'', was released via [[https://web.archive.org/web/20161008080640/http://www.ricedigital.co.uk:80/store/suguri-collection Rice Digital]]. The games were later [[http://www.steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=105716878 greenlit]] and [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/262240/SUGURI/ released]][[http://store.steampowered.com/app/265170/Acceleration_of_SUGURI_XEdition_HD/ individually]] for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}. The [=PlayStation=] 3 version however was delisted from [=PlayStation=] Network on August 8, 2015.

13Orange_Juice went on to develop ''VideoGame/{{sora}}'', a prequel to ''SUGURI'' that was released in 2010 for PC during Summer Comiket 78 and was localized by Fruitbat Factory in 2016. Not to be confused with the RealLife Japanese figure-skater, Fumie Suguri.
14
15----
16!!The SUGURI series provide examples of:
17[[foldercontrol]]
18
19[[folder:''SUGURI'']]
20* TwoAndAHalfD: These games use a 3D engine for the scenery, but the gameplay is entirely 2D.
21* AchievementSystem: The Steam re-release of this game and ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' feature them. Such achievements includes "Unlock X weapon" (''SUGURI''), "Dash into an ungrazable attack" (''SUGURI''), and "Clear Arcade Mode without taking damage" ''([=AoS=])''.
22* AfterTheEnd: The story setting of ''SUGURI''. [[spoiler:The planet has been recovering after the events from ''VideoGame/{{sora}}''.]]
23* AllThereInTheManual: The first game's manual gives players some details of how the Earth was facing ruin during a war that nearly killed the planet from the death and destruction it caused and natural resources depleted, with much of Earth's remaining population fleeing towards the skies to escape the war and the dying planet. However, a small part of the population decided to stay in what seemed like a hopeless effort to revive the planet with "Project One", only for it to become a success at the expense of their life. Many years later, after Suguri's successful mission of healing Earth and its population was returning, strange shadows started appearing from the sky, worrying many of the inhabitants of Earth, driving Suguri to investigate.
24* AnIcePerson: Kyoko, who's capable of using ice-based powers to keep her enemies at bay or a barrage of lasers, homing or otherwise.
25* AnachronicOrder: Although this game and ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' were released before ''sora'' and its follow-up, the timeline jumps back and forth. Chronologically, the story goes in this order: ''sora'' (Tutorial-Stage 7) → ''SUGURI'' → ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'' (the Story Mode scenarios and Extra Stories) → [[spoiler:''sora'' (Stage EX)]] → ''acceleration of SUGURI 2''.
26* AntiFrustrationFeatures: While obtaining new weapons normally requires clearing stages with an A Rank or higher, you can still unlock most of the other weapons after a certain number of play sessions on any given mode, regardless of difficulty, success, or failure. The only exception to this is the Accelerator, which requires [[spoiler:beating Hime on Special difficulty in Match Mode]].
27* AttackDrone: Laser-firing "bits" are Nanako's primary weapon. Suguri can also use them.
28* AxCrazy: Pretty much everyone except [[OnlySaneMan Suguri]].
29* BackgroundBoss: Robo during the second phase of the battle in Stage 6.
30* BarrierWarrior: Kyoko specializes in defensive tactics such as setting up barriers around her to [[ReflectingLaser reflect energy-based attacks]] back at her opponents.
31* BattleshipRaid: Stage 5, which takes place in Earth's stratosphere as Suguri makes her way towards the mysterious spaceship looming over the planet.
32* BeamSpam: Iru's specialty, although it's not the least bit limited to her.
33* BloodKnight: Kae's motivation to fight is mostly having fun with a good battle.
34* BossGame: An unlockable Match Mode in the original ''SUGURI'' can be played after clearing the game, in which you face off against all the bosses in sequence.
35* BraggingRightsReward: The Accelerator, which massively increases Suguri's dash speed, lets her charge her Hyper Gauge at will, allows her to enter BulletTime with its Hyper Attack, and can ''give her indefinite invulnerability'' if used correctly, is earned by [[spoiler:defeating the game's ultimate boss, Special Hime.]]
36* BulletHell: Both games, to a degree.
37* ChainPain: Hime uses chains in a couple of her attacks.
38* ClassicCheatCode: The Steam re-release implements a KonamiCode which can be entered in the pause menu. Entering this code will give you near-invincibility to attacks and recovery, but also [[NoFairCheating locks you out of getting achievements]] until you relaunch the game.
39* ColonyDrop: [[spoiler:Once all of Shifu's subordinates fall to Suguri and Hime [[HeelFaceTurn betrays him]], he undergoes a VillainousBreakdown and attempts to crash his spaceship into Earth [[WorldWreckingWave to cause a cataclysmic event that will wipe out all life]]. His plan is quickly thwarted when Suguri destroys his spaceship along with Shifu in it with her [[WaveMotionGun powerful beam attack]].]]
40* CompilationRerelease: Rockin' Android's ''SUGURI - Perfect Edition'' (retail PC-DVD) and ''SUGURI Collection'' (digitally distributed), compiling the first game and its spin-off along with the games' soundtracks.
41* ControlFreak: Shifu made his subordinates physically incapable of defying his will and rejects Suguri's offer for his ship's inhabitants to coexist with the people of Earth because he wants the planet for himself.
42* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Saki, Nanako, Kae, and Kyoko have hair colors that matches their eyes.
43* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In ''SUGURI'', Dash is mapped to the C key and Hyper Attack is mapped to the V key on keyboard, but in ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' it's the reverse, and only the Steam rereleases allow for keyboard remapping.
44* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:After defeating Hime in the original game, she becomes friends with Suguri as they make their descent into Earth after stopping Shifu from [[ColonyDrop destroying the planet]].]]
45* DifficultButAwesome: Using the flamethrower can be dangerous, because Suguri has to shorten the distance to attack, but if used correctly it's a massively powerful weapon.
46* DifficultyLevels: This game has Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty levels, while its Match/Boss Mode has an {{unlockable|DifficultyLevels}} and even harder [[HarderThanHard Special]] difficulty.
47* DisappointedByTheMotive: Suguri is not thrilled to hear that Shifu ordered the extermination of the planet's people only because he didn't want to share the planet with them. [[spoiler: Hime doesn't like it either, but she's forced to co-operate with the threat of Shifu blowing up the ship's civilian block.]]
48* DoABarrelRoll: Suguri's forward-facing dashes have her aileron roll through the air at breakneck speeds.
49* DoppelgangerAttack: Kae is capable of using clones of herself to attack her foes.
50* DuelBoss: The FinalBoss Hime fights alot like Suguri, dashing arround the battlefield and firing a vast array of powerful weapons at her opponent.
51* ElementalPersonalities: Kae has fire powers and is an energetic BloodKnight, while Kyoko has ice powers and is cool emotionally, but compassionate and caring.
52* FieryRedhead: Kae is red-haired and fiery both [[PlayingWithFire literally]] and [[HotBlooded figuratively]].
53* FinalBoss: Hime in this game and ''Acceleration of SUGURI''[='=]s Standard Arcade Mode (unless you're playing as her, in which you face Suguri at the last stage instead).
54* FireBreathingWeapon: One of the weapons Suguri can carry is a flamethrower; it has short range, but huge area of effect, easily wiping out any kind of opposition, and taking down the bosses in a matter of seconds.
55* GameplayGrading: In both games, your performance is graded by remaining Armor (life), how quickly you've beaten the stage/opponent, and the damage you've done.
56** RankInflation: Your overall performance is graded as such. Ranks go by Rank E, D, C, B, A, S, and [[NoDamageRun P]].
57* GenkiGirl: Saki and Kae, two of the more cheerful Shifu Brands.
58* GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed: In this game as well as its sequel, the characters appear super deformed during gameplay versus their own normal artwork during dialogue scenes.
59* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Saki, Iru, Nanako, Kae, and Kyoko all make peace with Suguri after being freed from Shifu's command with his death.]]
60* HighAltitudeBattle: The late stages of the game eventually take Suguri well above Earth's atmosphere.
61* HumongousMecha: Robo, an enormous, screen-filling mecha piloted by Shifu that can assault the screen with powerful weaponry.
62* IcyBlueEyes: Kyoko is cool-headed, possesses ice powers, and has blue eyes.
63* IdiotHair: Saki has a giant cowlick and is on the silly side. Suguri also has one, but she doesn't fit the personality archetype.
64* IfICantHaveYou: Non-romantic example: [[spoiler:after his plans for conquest are thoroughly foiled and Hime sides with Suguri, Shifu decides that if he can't have Earth nobody can and attempts to [[ColonyDrop crash his ship into the planet]].]]
65* ImprobablyFemaleCast: With [[BigGood Yukito]], [[BigBad Shifu]], and [[RobotMe NoName]] being the series' stand-outs.
66* KamehameHadoken:
67** [[spoiler:After Hime separates the civilian block from Shifu's colony, Suguri unleashes a massive beam of energy to destroy him along with the colony to prevent it from colliding with the Earth.]]
68** Hime herself can do this with just a single hand.
69* LagCancel: In this game, as well as ''Acceleration of SUGURI'', it's possible to cancel out your attack animations sooner by attacking with one weapon and then attacking with the other at the right time, or dashing in the middle of your attack. Canceling can allow you to deal damage faster than usual, but this will also build up Heat as you cancel your attack animations.
70* LaserBlade: One of Suguri's signature weapons. Sora also makes use of one.
71* LetsYouAndHimFight: [[spoiler:The FinalBoss Hime doesn't want to obey Shifu and fight Suguri, but Shifu threatening to blow up the ship's civilian block forces her to comply, with the caveat that they take the fight outside. As soon as they get far enough from him though, the two of them stop fighting and quickly agree to work together to stop Shifu.]]
72* LimitBreak: Filling the Hyper Gauge by dealing damage and dashing through enemy attacks allows you to perform a powerful Hyper Attack unique to each weapon.
73* LimitedAnimation: Suguri's spinning animation in the opening FMV is about 4 frames of her rotating.
74* TheLostWoods: Stage 1 in ''SUGURI'' takes place above a vast forest.
75* MacrossMissileMassacre: Available to Suguri via the Launcher and her Bazooka's Hyper Attack.
76* MagicSkirt: Everyone who wears a skirt or dress while having aerial high-speed battles qualifies, as they remain well covered at all times.
77* MartialPacifist:
78** Hime dislikes fighting if there's no good reason for it. [[spoiler:So, when Shifu failed to give her a valid reason to attack Suguri, she turned on him, and escaped the spaceship along with Suguri.]]
79** Suguri as well. When she meets the other characters, she tries to reason with them before fighting [[spoiler:(even with Shifu, except that he wouldn't listen)]], and, if ''Acceleration of SUGURI'' is any indication, it worked, because they were all welcomed to Earth, and are close friends to Suguri. [[spoiler:Suguri also even befriends Sora, who initially attacked her and Hime out of [[ShellShockedVeteran PTSD-driven rage]], but she was able to calm Sora down and show her that her efforts to help save Earth were not in vain.]]
80* MechaMooks: The lion's share of the game's enemies are hostile robots.
81%%* MysticalWhiteHair: Suguri.
82* MoeCouplet: Kae with Nanako.
83* MultiSlotCharacter: The ''X-Edition'' expansion pack noticeably adds in two different versions of Suguri: Suguri-P, whose moveset consists of regular Suguri's attacks and a set of {{Attack Drone}}s (in addition, her personality also becomes more childlike), and Suguri-SP, who not only uses a melee-focused moveset, but also gains a different outfit.
84* NonActionBigBad: {{Downplayed}}. Shifu himself is not superhuman like his enforcers, and can't fight Suguri one-on-one... so instead he takes the reins of a HumongousMecha.
85* OlderThanTheyLook: Suguri is [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld over 10,000 years old]] by the start of the series.
86* OmnicidalManiac: Shifu, who gave the orders to the Shifu Brands (Saki, Iru, Nanako, Kae, and Kyoko) to attack Earth and wipe out its inhabitants.
87* {{Overheating}}: To discourage players from simply dashing their way through most of the attacks in these games, players build up a "Heat" as they dash, which also increases the damage they take.
88* PersonalityPowers: Kyoko is a calm and collected [[AnIcePerson ice-user]], and Kae is a HotBlooded [[PlayingWithFire fire-user]].
89* PhysicalGod: Hime, who's a Guardian God.
90* PileBunker: The Pile Bunker is a melee weapon that has Suguri lunge towards the target while invulnerable to deliver a powerful blow, but leaves her open for a moment after impact.
91* PlayingWithFire: Kae, who possesses fire-based abilities and can use heat to her advantage versus other characters.
92* PowerGivesYouWings: SP Hime.
93* ProtagonistTitle: Suguri is the protagonist of ''SUGURI''.
94* PsychoticSmirk: Kae bares one fighting Suguri in the original game.
95* RazorWind: Kae can unleash these.
96* RedEyesTakeWarning: Kae, Hime, and Suguri herself have red eyes (the latter explicitly described as a result of her SuperSoldier augmentation). Subverted, however, in that none of them are evil.
97* RedOniBlueOni: Kae and Kyoko, respectively.
98* RegionalBonus: Rockin' Android's ''SUGURI - Perfect Edition'' compilation, an English-localized bundle of the entire ''SUGURI'' series that also includes the ''TRANCENATION of SUGURI'' and ''Hoshi no Kakera ~acceleration of SUGURI sound track~'' original soundtracks onto the installation disc. The ''SUGURI Collection'' via Rice Digital and Steam does the same for digital distribution.
99* ReluctantWarrior: Suguri doesn't like fighting, and always tries to reach out to her enemies and resolve things peacefully, but when that fails she's prepared to fight to protect the people of Earth.
100* RestrainingBolt: The Shifu Brands were created to obey Shifu's every command and they recognize his authority by his face and voice. [[spoiler:This comes back to haunt them when [=NoName=] shows up in ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'' as he orders them to fight Suguri and Hime for his harem.]]
101* SecretProjectRefugeeFamily: [[spoiler:Kyoko, Kae, Iru, Saki and Nanako form one of these after the events of ''SUGURI'', living together and helping each other to get used to living on Earth after all that happened to them.]]
102* SpreadShot: The aptly-named Spread gun. The 4 Cannon fires even more shots in an extremely wide spread.
103* SpritePolygonMix: The backgrounds and some the effects are in 3D while using 2D sprites for the characters and enemies.
104* StoneWall: Kyoko's dashing speed isn't as good as the others, but she specializes in defense.
105* StormingTheCastle: Stage 6, and the first part of Stage 7, take place inside Shifu's spaceship.
106* SuperMovePortraitAttack: A full-body cut-in of Suguri shows when a Hyper Attack is unleashed.
107* SwordAndGun: Suguri with a melee weapon and a gun.
108* TaremeEyes: Suguri, Saki, Iru, Nanako, Kae and Hime.
109* TeamMom: Kyoko, the rest of the characters.
110* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Iru and Saki, respectively.
111* TokenMiniMoe: Nanako, who's one of the youngest characters in this series.
112%%* TsurimeEyes: Kyoko.
113* UnderTheSea: Stage 2 alternates between flying just above the surface of the ocean and beneath it.
114* UpdatedRerelease: The Steam version of ''SUGURI'' features support for higher resolutions (albeit stretched to the aspect ratio and only available in windowed mode), remappable keys, and improved controller support.
115* VerbalTic: Saki has an habit of saying "Mau...", and, when preparing her SignatureMove, the Big Bang Bell, she exclaims "Maaaaauuuuuuuryyyyyyyaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...".
116* VideoGameDashing: One of the defining gameplay elements of this game, as well as ''Acceleration of SUGURI'', which involves the dashing through or away from enemy projectiles and letting [[SpeedEchoes the trail of rings]] "catch" them to build your Hyper Meter, but doing so also builds Heat which increases the amount of damage you take. Energy-based attacks can be grazed through by dashing, however live ammo or physical attacks cannot be grazed.
117* WarmUpBoss: Saki, who has some of the easier to avoid/grazable attacks, and her cymbols can give players a good way to build up Hyper Meter for Hyper Attack.
118* WaveMotionGun: The Beam Rifle's Hyper Attack and the Buster weapon. Iru also possesses one.
119* WorldOfActionGirls: Most of the characters in this series are girls, though the few men like Shifu and [=NoName=] are also capable of fighting and holding their own.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:''Acceleration of SUGURI'' and ''X-Edition'']]
123* AllJustADream: The "Pudding Deity" storyline was this to Saki.
124* AnAssKickingChristmas: The ''Falling Wonder" story of ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'', which features Suguri and her newly founded friends/Shifu's former comrades throwing a party for Suguri during Christmas to make amends for taking part of Shifu's schemes, only for his android copy [=NoName=] to unexpectedly crash the party and have the girls fight each other again for his dream harem.
125* ArtShift: The [=PlayStation=] 3 and HD version of ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'' by Rockin' Android feature redrawn graphics portraying the characters with more realistic proportions. The latter, however, gives you the option to use the original graphics.
126* AttackDrone: Nanako still has her laser bits to attack from various angles. Suguri has an alternate form, called Suguri-P, which can also use them.
127-->'''Nanako:''' ''"No matter how fast you fly, you can't escape my bits."''
128* AttackReflector:
129** Kyoko can place crystal barriers that reflect beams back at her opponent, and protect her from missiles for a while.
130** Suguri-SP can do it as well, by [[WeaponTwirling twirling]] her daggers in front of her.
131* BackgroundBoss: Robo is this full-time as the final boss of "Falling Wonder" story.
132* BerserkButton: Suguri didn't like being called a "shorty" by [=NoName=].
133* BewareTheSillyOnes: [=NoName=] might be a perverted replica of Shifu, but he has a strong arsenal of weapons at his disposal, including using Robo's arm as his melee attacks.
134* CloseRangeCombatant:
135** Suguri-SP, who uses a pair of beam daggers to fight, however, her projectiles have limited range, which is a problem if your opponent tries to shoot you from far away, so she relies on close combat as her main method of attack.
136** Normal Suguri, Suguri-P and Sora also count to a lesser degree, it's not their main method of attack, but some of their more powerful combos involve using the sword.
137** There's also Kae, who has projectiles to protect herself, but she prefers close combat for devastating combos, and to reflect her BloodKnight personality.
138* {{Combos}}:
139** Some characters such as Suguri or Sora have a unique combo string that allows them to quickly perform a series of attacks that cancel into each other.
140** Attacks can also be chained together in quick succession, which the game displays how many hits were landed and how much damage was dealt in that sequence.
141* CompetitiveMultiplayer: The VS. Mode, where players can fight against one another or against the computer.
142* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard:
143** The A.I. really knows how to abuse Suguri (and [[AttackDrone her variants]]) to destroy players on Normal or Hard with cheap combo attacks.
144** In Hard Mode, the computer deal three times as much damage as normal, so, any character can demolish you in a matter of seconds if given the chance.
145* CriticalStatusBuff: Any time Kae's Heat percentage reaches 200% or higher, but she can use more powerful attacks that could also inflict burning status to her opponents. She can also set herself ablaze with her ''Spontaneous Combustion'' move and keep her Heat fixed at 200% temporarily.
146* DanceBattler: Hime, when fighting, refers to it as a dance.
147--> ''"Dancing is wonderful."''\
148''"Can't you keep up with my dance?"''
149* ADayInTheLimelight: "Pudding Deity" has Saki as the main focus from beginning to end.
150* DefeatMeansPlayable: [[SecretCharacter Sora]], if you can keep an A-Rank average or higher in every single match in Arcade Mode, in a single credit. Defeat her and she's yours.
151* {{Determinator}}: Suguri leaves it clear.
152--> '''Suguri:''' ''"This fight is meaningless. No matter how much you hurt me, I won't give up!"''
153* DualWielding: Suguri-SP, she fights with two [[LaserBlade beam daggers]].
154* EvolvingTitleScreen: When players begin playing ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'', the title screen features a simple background of the sky with the sun shining through the clouds. Upon clearing one of its story scenarios, the title screen changes to night time while snow is falling. [[spoiler:This would hint players onto what to expect from ''sora''[='=]s true ending.]]
155* ExpansionPack: The ''X-Edition'' of ''Acceleration of SUGURI''.
156* FakeCrossover: The Pudding Deity campaign is this in a roundabout way. The story is revealed at the end to be AllJustADream for Saki. While the sequel to VideoGame/QPShooting is a ResolvedNoodleIncident detailing how QP became a god in the first place, that game is much sillier than Suguri, and while Saki is one of the Sweet Gods in VideoGame/OneHundredPercentOrangeJuice, the world that version of Saki comes from is presented as an AlternateUniverse.
157* FinalBoss: Under normal circumstances, Hime is the last opponent of the Arcade Mode, or, if you're playing as Hime, the last opponent will be Suguri. In the Story Mode, Robo is the last opponent in the "Falling Wonder" storyline; and in the "Pudding Deity" story, the final boss is QP.
158* GoMadFromTheIsolation: [[spoiler:Kae has, as demonstrated by her extra story, developed a crippling fear of both darkness and silence after Shifu [[KickTheDog ordered her to stay in a dark room without moving or talking until he called her.]] Given the time scale of the series, she might have spent months or even ''years'' like that, unable to go against the orders but desperately afraid and lonely. She seems to be slowly getting better thanks to Nanako's company at night.]]
159* GuestFighter: QP, the FinalBoss of "Pudding Deity", comes from the game ''VideoGame/QPShooting'', a vertical ShootEmUp also from Orange_Juice that never saw an overseas release (though its sequel eventually would).
160* HaremSeeker: [=NoName=] wants to use the girls and their knees to fulfill his dream harem.
161* {{Interquel}}: Follows after the end of ''SUGURI'', but also takes place before [[spoiler:the true ending of]] ''sora''.
162* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: Saki uses a grenade... as a ''melee'' weapon. It has a 25% chance of exploding.
163* [[JackOfAllStats Jill-of-All-Stats]]: Suguri, who has a balanced set of melee and ranged weaponry and well-rounded stats among the roster.
164* LaserBlade: Both Suguri and Sora use one of these for melee attacks.
165* LethalJokeCharacter: Saki, who has some tricky to use attacks, but in the right hands can be a formidable opponent.
166* LightningBruiser: QP, an adorable little puppy girl. She's the most powerful character in the game.
167* LimitBreak: Hyper Attacks, which consume one Hyper Meter to perform a powerful special attack; [[AwesomeButImpractical Accel Hypers]] take this even further in the form of an even more powerful and {{unblockable|Attack}} super attack that consumes all three Hyper Meters.
168* LittleBitBeastly: QP is a little dog girl with mostly human-like features.
169* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The Steam version of ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition HD'' was initially released in a buggy state by Rockin' Android, but a patched was released in 2014 to fix some of these issues. However, it caused some lengthy and frequent loading times between matches as a result, which never happened in the buggy DRM-free version of this re-release or the original SD version of this game, in both the original Japanese or their earlier English releases.
170* TheLostWoods: The Forest Stage, based on stage 1 of ''SUGURI''.
171* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler:[=NoName=] loses his body after his defeat from Suguri in the ''Falling Wonder" story, with his disembodied head being placed in a flower pot to make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble.]]
172* LovableSexManiac: [=NoName=], who is a complete pervert, unlike his creator Shifu.
173* MagicSkirt: Like its predecesor, the skirt-wearing girls remain well covered despite being in the air flying at full speed. [=NoName=] even calls Suguri out on it after their fight, saying that she's a cheater for flying around like that without showing anything.
174* MovesetClone: Sora is this to Suguri, possibly justified as they have similar powers, and use the exact same weapons; and they both have very similar moves, although with a few variants: for example, Suguri's Hyper Attack with the sword is a single, very powerful slash, while Sora slices her opponent multiple times.
175* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [=NoName=] had no idea he held power over the Shifu Brands until Kyoko explained it to Suguri right in front of him.
176* NoContinueRun: Required to unlock most of the extra characters and the extra stories. [[invoked]]
177* OddJobGod: QP is the goddess of pudding.
178* OffWithHisHead: Happens (off-screen) to [=NoName=] in "Falling Wonder" storyline.
179* OhCrap: Kyoko's reaction after realising that as Shifu's (former) subordinates, she and the other girls must unwillingly obey [=NoName=] due to his creator's resemblance.
180* OutOfCharacterMoment: {{Martial Pacifist}}s Suguri and Hime in "Pudding Deity" fought Saki for the right to taste the pudding Saki prepared. Justified as it was AllJustADream.
181* PowerGivesYouWings: Hime has them show up as part of her Accel Hyper.
182* ProductionForeshadowing: Sora makes an {{early|BirdCameo}} cameo appearance in this game as a secret character, while her own game was being developed at the time of ''Acceleration of SUGURI''[='=]s release. Players are also treated to a teaser of ''sora'' upon unlocking her.
183* PromotedToPlayable: All of the boss characters of the first game except Shifu are playable in ''Acceleration of SUGURI''.
184* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: [=NoName=], and a perverted one with a {{fetish}} for [[LegFocus women's thighs]] at that.
185* RobotMe: [=NoName=] is a robotic double Shifu built of himself.
186* ShockAndAwe: Iru can place electrical traps across the whole stage to keep pressure on her opponents.
187* ShoutOut: The [=PlayStation=] Network and Steam versions of the game has Trophies that references famous [[CatchPhrase catch phrases]] and one-liners from movies. Some examples includes ''"[[Franchise/{{Highlander}} There Can Be Only One]]"'' and ''"[[UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli Float Like A Butterfly]]"''.
188* SillyReasonForWar: Apparently, pudding is an extremely rare delicacy in this universe, and legends tell, when pudding was wearing thin, nations went to war just to have the pleasure to taste such a delicious sweet. Even in "Pudding Deity", And Saki's after story, when Saki prepared by experimenting, a little pudding (She didn't know the name of it, so she tried to give it another name), Suguri and the other girls (even Hime) fought her for the right to taste it.
189* SNKBoss: Robo, which appears as the FinalBoss of "Falling Wonder", and an extra boss in the Arcade Mode. It covers the entire circular arena and hardly moves at all, so its Heat counter never rises, and takes minimal damage. Like the bosses in the previous game, it has three phases, and gets more aggressive with each one, spamming lasers, or placing obstacles that can't be flown through. When low on energy, it fires a [[WaveMotionGun massive blast]] that deals huge damage, even with the Heat counter on 0. So, your best chance is to treat it like your typical ShootEmUp boss instead of a FightingGame boss.
190* SpaceZone: The Thermosphere stage takes place above Earth's atmosphere.
191* SpoiledByTheManual: In Rockin' Android's official website for ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition'', four of the unlockable characters (Hime, Sora, [=NoName=], and QP) are all silhouetted with any information on them labeled with "'''[-TOP SECRET-]'''", yet the downloadable manual for the [=PlayStation=] Network version reveals the characters appearance with descriptions about them.
192* SwordBeam: One of Suguri's (in her three versions) Hyper Attacks.
193* TaremeEyes: Suguri, Saki, Iru, Nanako, Kae, Hime, and QP have them.
194* TsurimeEyes: Kyoko and Sora.
195* UpdatedRerelease: Rockin' Android's ''Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition HD'' for PC gives player the option of the original or the updated [=PlayStation=] 3 graphics, keyboard remapping and improved controller support[[labelnote:*]]for the Steam version only; the DRM-free release still has poor modern [=XInput=] controller support[[/labelnote]], with the addition of high resolution and widescreen support[[labelnote:*]]although the games crashes if using display resolutions above 1920x1080 [[TechnologyMarchesOn since this port's release]] in 2012 [[invoked]][[/labelnote]] over the previous 2009 release.
196* VictoryQuote: Everyone has a few of them, Even Sora, who has two quotes, one of which reads just "[[VisibleSilence ......]]".
197-->'''Sora''': ''"I can do it, if I hang in there."''
198* WaveMotionGun: Suguri, Iru, Hime, and Robo have this as Hyper Attacks.
