- Leotard of Power
- Male Gaze: Her ass is shown in various of her official artworks.
- Ms. Fanservice: As in Street Fighter series.

- Arm Cannon: His gunlance is attached to his arm, so it counts as one.
- Badass Cape
- BFG: His gunlance.
- Bling-Bling-BANG!/Bling of War
- Hover Skates
- Knight in Shining Armor: Just like in his game series, but more as a big Powered Armor than just a knight armor.

- Mighty Glacier: Of the game, the slow-but-strong character.
- Weapon Specialization: His gunlance GL Excalibur.
Shiba Shintaro
- Canon Foreigner: Despite only being indirectly connected to the Street Fighter series of fighting games, he was given a profile in the Street Fighter V character guide
. - Expy: Shiba is based on Siva character from Three Wonders.
- Hover Board: Shiba has an antigravitatory Cool Board that uses to move on the screen.
- Implausible Boarding Skills: Mostly because he was a former skateboard champion.

- Only One Name: Mostly known as Shiba, his last name isn't usually shown.
- Original Generation: Made originally for this game along with Simone.
- Shout-Out:
- Shiba has some resemblances with Naruto Uzumaki, considerating Naruto manga started in 1999 and Cannon Spike was made in 2000, this could be possible.
- Also could be based on Horo-Horo from Shaman King which also has an avatar and the manga appeared a year before Naruto.
- His signature hair and headgear seem to be inspired for the male Low-Rank Ludroth Cap in Monster Hunter Tri.
- Weapon Specialization: The rifle L999-A3.
Simone

- Cyborg: A cyborg with superhuman strength, she works along with Arthur to complete her mission.
- Expy:
- Clearly based on Linn Kurosawa from Alien vs. Predator.
- At one point, early sketches look as though she had the head of Rouge.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Apart of her CAP MPV rifle, she has a katana that uses in some of her moves.
- Original Generation: Made originally for this game along with Shiba.
- Rollerblade Good
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: Not precisely a sweetie, but certainly has rose hair.
- Underboobs: Her Battle Ballgown barely covers all her chest. It would be Not Safe for Work if she doesn't wear a t-shirt below the ballgrown.
Mega Man/Rockman
- Arm Cannon: Obviously, his signature Mega Buster.
- Dub Name Change: As in his game series (Rockman in Japan, Mega Man in the rest of the world.)
