** And Saki's character design is a mashup of [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheRugalSaga Rugal Berstein]], [[Characters/TheKingOfFighters95 Iori Yagami]], [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheOrochiSaga96 and Vice.]] Which is also reflected in her personality and fighting style, since she borrows attacks from each of them - including Rugal's "Genocide Cutter", Iori's claw swipes and his "Dark Plume" finisher, and Vice's "Negative Gain".

''Advanced Variable Geo'' (or ''Advanced V.G.'' as {{officially shortened|Title}}) is a duology of console {{Fighting Game}}s by the company Technical Group Laboratory (TGL). The general premise, where in the future a grand championship tournament called Variable Geo is held annually to determine who is the strongest waitress in the world, derives from a series of [[HGame H-Games]]. This page is for the BleachedUnderpants console games only.

* BigBad: [[EvilMatriarch Miranda Jahana]] is the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive founder]] of Section-9 who created the hybrids and is using the tournament to test them and create the perfect fighter.

* BigBad: Miranda Jahana is the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive founder]] of [[ResearchInc Section-9]], her own secret bioweapons division where she subjected [[EvilMatriarch her own daughter, Reimi]], to inhumane experiments and created the [[{{tykebomb}} hybrids]]. [[NotJustATournament The tournament is little more than a smokescreen]] by which she gets to field-test them, by pitting them against the [[UnwittingPawn unsuspecting waitresses/competitors]], and [[TheHero Yuka Takeuchi]] in particular is [[ArchEnemy the focal point of Miranda's hatred]] as [[SpiritedCompetitor the strongest among them]], so she will stop at nothing to {{break|TheCutie}} Yuka.

* ChasteTeens: Aside from Reimi (who gets married during her ending in ''Advanced V.G.'') and Yuuki's [[HopelessSuitor one-sided crush]] [[IncompatibleOrientation on Satomi]], the other waitresses are all single and have no canon love interests. Making them a group of [[CelibateHero celibate heroines.]]

** Yuuki's crush on Satomi (first seen in the OVA) was canonized in the second game, where she's Yuuki's end boss battle. Yuuki tries hitting on her before the fight, [[IncompatibleOrientation but her feelings are unrequited.]]

The first ''Advanced V.G.'' was a quasi-remake of the original HGame, with [[DeletedScene the hentai content removed]]. It was released for the UsefulNotes/PCEngine (1994), UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom (1995, as ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Super Variable Geo]]'', with the story mode removed), UsefulNotes/PlayStation (1996) and UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn (1997; the H-scenes were restored to this last version in a {{Bowdlerise}}d state). It also introduced the series' overarching plot in which the waitresses (Yuka and Reimi, in particular), were being manipulated from behind the scenes by Reimi's mother, Miranda, whose goal was to use them as test subjects in order to create the ultimate fighting machine.

* {{Ninja}}: Chiho is descendant of the Masuda Clan and is their heir apparent. While her cousin, Kyoko, is from the Kirishima Clan, which is one of their branch families. Between the two, Chiho is the more traditional example. Kyoko is the exact opposite.

** WorldOfActionGirls: Most of whom are trained martial artists, including the [[BigBad main antagonist]] and her [[{{tykebomb}} "babies"]] who are also all female.

** And Erina is the stereotypical [[ForeignFanservice busty blonde]] [[PhenotypeStereotype American female]], complete with long legs. Though she covers hers [[StockingFiller in pantyhose.]]

** WorldOfActionGirls: As such, most of them are trained martial artists, while others are self-taught, and even [[BigBad the main antagonist]] and her [[{{tykebomb}} "babies"]] are female.

* {{Tomboy}}:
** Applies to both Yuka and Satomi, who have spent their childhood and adolescence regularly competing in full-contact martial arts. Both are highly skilled and have naturally athletic figures as a result.
** Jun is a more extreme example, having taken up weightlifting and motor cycling as her hobbies outside the ring. She's also and amateur wrestling champion, with [[AmazonianBeauty the physique]] to show for it.

* RyuAndKen: Yuka and Satomi have trained together since childhood under Yuka's grandfather, and bonded as sparring partners.

** Both of Satomi's parents died together in a car accident, when she was only 14. Her only living relative is her kid brother, Daisuke, whom she's had to [[PromotionToParent care for him]] [[MinorLivingAlone on her own.]]

* RyuAndKen: Yuka and Satomi's [[FriendlyRivalry friendship/rivalry]] is portrayed in similar fashion (noted in the AlternateCompanyEquivalent and DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything entries).

** Yuka was sent to live with her grandfather, sometime after her father's death. He's seen in flashbacks, but the cause of his death is left unexplained.
** Both of Satomi's parents died together in a car accident, when she was only 14. Her only living relative is her kid brother, Daisuke.

* FantasticFightingStyle: Yuka and Satomi both studied Kyokushin Karate, under Yuka's grandfather. Whereas Tamao learned it by emulating Yuka.

** Though in terms of fighting style, Satomi is often considered to be [[GenderSwap the gender flipped]] equivalent of [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheRugalSaga Kyo Kusanagi]] instead.

** Yuka and Satomi are the tomboy equivalents of Ryu and Ken respectively, due to the nature of their rivalry and their roles (see the DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything entry).

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Satomi's story mode ending in ''Advanced V.G. II'' parallels Ken's from ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha SF: Alpha 2]]''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9el6TjEYJeM Her end boss battle is against Yuka]], who's lost her fighting spirit due to the events of the previous game - just as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKG699RzsrE Ken's boss battle is against Ryu]], who'd lost ''his'' fighting spirit after his duel with Sagat.

* FanserviceWithASmile: {{Justified}} in-universe, since the tournament is for waitresses only.

''Advanced V.G. II'', which released for the PlayStation in 1998, focused on a new character: Tamao Mitsurugi, [[HeroWorshipper a fan]] of Yuka, who wanted to become just like her. She [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriended]] many of Yuka's old rivals, but eventually learned that her hero had lost the will to fight, since K-1 and K-2 were killed by Miranda [[YouHaveFailedMe for failing to defeat her in the previous tournament]]. After re-igniting Yuka's fighting spirit and overcoming Miranda's PsychoForHire, Saki Shinjou, Tamao and Yuka were pitted against Miranda's latest GattacaBabies, the Material twins, after which Tamao defeated Miranda, herself. The saga concluded with the waitresses coming together to prevent Miranda's escape, by unleashing a CombinedEnergyAttack which killed her.
