** It's made clear that the rules and gameplay of ''Destiny Duel II'' are different from those of ''Generic Fighter III''; because of this, when Darrin makes his guest appearance, [[CantCatchUp he's at a very low level compared to the rest of the cast]], and he gets demoted to JokeCharacter status, [[TierInducedScrappy keeping fans from choosing him]] in TournamentPlay.
** Alternatively, when Darrin makes his guest appearance, he's at a very high level compared to the other characters, so he becomes a GameBreaker, gets banned from TournamentPlay, [[TierInducedScrappy gaining the hatred of his fans.]]

** Alternatively, Darrin returns again as a guest character in ''Destiny Duel IV'', where it's revealed that he was slacking off, and did nothing to improve between games, whereas the other characters were training, and caught on with him. So, this time, he appears as a BoringButPractical Mid-Tier, and regaining the love (Or hatred, depending of your interpretation) of his fans.

Was bored and wanted to start a \"playing with\" page of one of my favorite tropes.

* '''Subverted''':
** [[TheRival Fred]] appears in ''Destiny Duel II'' as a [[DownloadableContent DLC]] character by popular demand, but despite being part of the world of the franchise, he doesn't have a prominent role, even a chapter in the Story Mode of the game. He just doesn't appear anywhere within the story.
** Charlie, TheHero of ''Destiny Duel II'' discovers that Darrin is actually [[SNKBoss Rick]] in a PaperThinDisguise, thus exposing his cover-up.
* '''Double-Subverted''': But then it is revealed that this Rick was only an illusion, and the real Darrin [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere comes out of nowhere]] to challenge Charlie.
* '''Parodied''': Darrin is a CreatorCameo, who paid a lot of money so the developers included him in ''Destiny Duel II'', because he wanted them to make him a {{Badass}}... And he got what he asked for, they made him "Bad" and a "Joke".
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Even-numbered games of ''Destiny Duel'' (II, IV and VI) have guest characters from the ''Generic Fighter'' series, whereas odd-numbered ones (I, III and V) don't.
* '''Averted''': No guest characters at all. The whole roster of "Destiny Duel II'' is original.
* '''Enforced''': Darrin is an EnsembleDarkhorse, and the developers of ''Destiny Duel II'' want to keep appealing to the fanbase of the ''Generic Fighter'' series, even after its Grand Finale. The solution? Make Darrin appear in ''Destiny Duel II'' as a guest character.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Who is this Darrin guy? I have never heard of him around here."
* '''Exploited''': Knowing (read: blindly judging) that Darrin is a NaiveNewcomer, [[MightyGlacier Sergey]] picks a fight with him, in hopes of an easy victory in his first turn.
* '''Invoked''': The sponsors of the ''Destiny Duel II'' tournament send an invitation to Darrin from ''Generic Fighter III'', as they've seem him in action. Darrin accepts.
* '''Defied''':
** Darrin rejects the invitation.
** Alternatively, ''Destiny Duel II'' fans decide that they've had enough of Darrin. The developers take note of this, and for the sequel, [[PutOnABus they put Darrin on a bus]].
** Another alternative: The idea of having Darrin as a Guest Character was on the paper, but it's discarded at the last moment.
* '''Discussed''': "Did you know that Darrin was invited to compete in the new Destiny Duel tournament?"
* '''Conversed''': Darrin, you have been chosen to represent your region in the ''Destiny Duel'' tournament. Do you have what it takes?"
* '''Implied''': Thanks to [[MotorMouth Laura]], the other characters of ''Generic Fighter III'' learn that the rumor of Darrin being invited to the ''Destiny Duel'' tournament was true.
* '''Deconstructed''': It's made clear that the rules of ''Destiny Duel II'' are different from those of ''Generic Fighter III'', so, when Darrin makes his guest appearance, [[CantCatchUp he's at a very low level compared to the other characters]], and he gets demoted to JokeCharacter status, [[TierInducedScrappy keeping fans from choosing him]] in TournamentPlay.

** Alternatively, Darrin is killed in ''Destiny Duel II'', so, his son [[LegacyCharacter Darrin Jr.]] makes a guest appearance in ''Destiny Duel IV'' so he can find [[YouKilledMyFather the one who killed his father]] and enact his revenge.
