History VideoGame / SLAISteelLancerArenaInternational

* {{AFGNCAAP}}: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]: Considering the game is "psuedo-online", every character in the game isn't quite what he/she looks like, because everyone is technically this, but has an online "Persona".

* MiniMecha: The [=SVs=] are pretty damn small. However, they are not manned... except [[spoiler: Molyina, which is, withholding it's armament, [[FinalBoss Charga]], from VideoGame/PhantomCrash.

* SceneryGorn: Continued from VideoGame/PhantomCrash- the arenas are still semi Post-Apocalyptic, and make extensive use of the [[RealIsBrown color gray]]. Except Vegas.
* SchematizedProp: Like the VideoGame/ArmoredCore series, the parts in this game have a LOT of statistics. And then you can mess with the parts...

** The mooks of New York's A-Rank are [[StarWars Dark V. (And his chip Executor), Dark S., Dark T... and so on...]]

** [[FrickinLaserBeams Lasers]]: They destroy armor like none other, but protect shields deny them so often, they don't do much.

* {{BFG}}: [[NukeEm Daisybell]], [[FrickinLaserBeams Thunderbird]], [[MacrossMissileMassacre Hedgehog]], 105mm Recoiless Cannon... Really, most Hartman weapons. There's plenty more big guns out there, but, the Hartman takes the cake for just having lots of big guns.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Laser weapons come in two types: Continuous lasers and Plasma Cannons. The Continuous Lasers deal massive damage over time, and rip thru armor like nothing. The Plasma Cannons deal huge amounts of damage but only get 2 or 3 shots before the weapon overheats and has to cooldown before it can be fired again. [[ShownTheirWork As a note, the actual lasers... are lasers, as-in the beams cannot be dodged once fired (Because the rounds travel at light speed)]]... and the Plasma Cannon shots are the fastest projectiles in the game.

* StandardFPSGuns: Spread out across the various makers as before in ''VideoGame/PhantomCrash.'' The pistol type weapon called the SMG, and the SMG type weapon called the Assault Rifle, but other than that things are fairly self explanatory, with Heavy Machine Guns, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Gatling Guns, Missile Launchers, Grenade Launchers, and a handful of energy weapons (which manage to avert FrickinLaserBeams). The Melee weapons are more esoteric and unusual, including drills, piledrivers, chainsaws, and katanas that are also chainsaws. Perhaps the most distinctive weapon is the game's BFG equivalent, a ''miniature nuclear warhead launcher.''

* FinalBoss: A very intimidating SV with a shark-mouth paint job that you cannot obtain. [[spoiler: The boss character is also splutteringly insane, and... that paint job is the only thing that differentiates his SV from the other 3 Elint models you could've fought by now. (And the one you can obtain after beating him.)]]

It used to have online PvP, but the servers were taken down a long time ago.

A somewhat rare PS2 game, SLAI Steel Lancer Arena International, is a sequel to the Xbox game, VideoGame/PhantomCrash. It keeps many of the same features, such as the trademark Stealth-capable MiniMecha, although they underwent a name change. Set in 2071 (a few decades after the original), the sport of "Rumbling" (same as Phantom Crash: Mecha blowing each other and their surroundings up in semi-gladatorial deathmatches in urban settings) has underwent a boom in popularity, although, it's significantly safer (thanks to Remote-control technology) than it was back in the days of Club Wired... it's also, notably an international phenomenon now, with Rumbling arenas across the globe.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Hartman's Daisy bell cannons- at +99, they are instant kill slugs that are horribly hard to aim, but rest assured, with [[OverNineThousand over]] [[MassiveDamage 250000]] [[NoKillLikeOverkill damage a hit]], no matter what you hit is dead, if you ever land it-- you only get 1 shot... at -99 they blow up half the map in a glorious, practically nuclear blast... that does pitiful damage (But you get 11 shots.) . The midground for these guns is... a basic grenade.

* StandardFPSGuns

* AntiClimaxBoss: The 1v1 battles. The Highest Rank Ranker fights are all one on one duels... which are a LOT easier than normal boss battles... and the FinalBoss [[spoiler: Jack O Lantern]]'s mech is just an [[spoiler: unmodified Elint]]... virtually identical to a Ranker in Germany.

* CultClassic: While not remembered as one of the best games ever made and widely considered unsuccessful, there are still some gamers who widely consider it a good game for it's storyline and empathetic characters.

* DemonicSpider: Outside of the Mooks being generally NintendoHard, there's surprise Boss fights- these enemies, called "Crashers" have Blue HP bars (bosses have Red, Mooks yellow, and drones green). Of note, there's two incredibly dangerous crashers: [[RogueProtagonist Kirin]] and [[ThatOneBoss Roy]]. Encountering either unprepared is [[HopelessBossFight certain death.]]

* ScrappyLevel: No one likes China.
** YMMV, while it is small and hard to manuever around, there are some good vantage points for you to snipe in, only one drop spot for supplies, and some of the funner rankers to fight.

** One of your opponents has a chip partner called Ganon. [[TheLegendOfZelda It belongs to the Pig class]].

* DeflectorShields: Protect Shields, which are semi-rare occurances that completely nullified all incoming damage for brief moments of time. Outside of increasing your Chip's level, there exist items that increased the chance of activating them. Like in PhantomCrash, it appears as a rainbow-colored ball.

* DestroyableItems: Same as in PhantomCrash, the powerups can be destroyed, but only by direct fire. A Daisybell shot landing near the cubes won't kill them.

* DieChairDie: Destructible terrain from PhantomCrash is still here, and still worth extra money when shot.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Lynx locks himself in his own SV, which is an old PhantomCrash model instead of a remote control modern SV to avoid being arrested. This, ironically, serves to get him killed by JOL, after you wreck him.]]
* [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity +1 Mech]]: The three Boss [=SVs=], one of which is the Final Boss's mech from PhantomCrash (It's also [[spoiler: Lynx, the Second Ranker's]]), and another is the final boss's mech from this game. Sadly, they're AwesomeButImpractical.

* MiniMecha: The [=SVs=] are pretty damn small. However, they are not manned... except [[spoiler: Molyina, which is, withholding it's armament, [[FinalBoss Charga]], from PhantomCrash]].

* RogueProtagonist: Kirin, the player character from PhantomCrash returns in the post game to take his title of First Ranker back... this naturally makes you his enemy.
* SceneryGorn: Continued from PhantomCrash- the arenas are still semi Post-Apocalyptic, and make extensive use of the [[RealIsBrown color gray]]. Except Vegas.

* SoundtrackDissonance: Considering the music in this game is...all over the place and you can have it play whatever it is that you want out of a massive selection of Licensed and Original (or from PhantomCrash) music for combat.. it's bound to happen. (Never mind listening to some overly happy J-Pop while fighting the FinalBoss.)

* VirtualCelebrity: Mona-Lisa returns from PhantomCrash, with new songs.

** It's [[{{Dune}} Muad-Dib]] (the A-Ranker in Cairo).
