** Burnie is “Firefox”
** Drew is “Blackjack”
** Dougster is “Thunderbolt”

** Jean-Paul is “Sheng Long”
** Melanie is “Franchise/{{Mulan}}”

* PlayingWithFire: The {{ComicBook/HumanTorch}}-like fighter [[MeaningfulName named "Burnie"]].

* WidgetSeries: While there are fairly standard archetypal characters such as a Chinese martial artist (Nic-san), a character based on a legendary and/or historical figure (Melanie), a ninja (Jean Paul), an athlete from a non-martial arts sport (Dougster) and an ElementalEmbodiment (Burnie) (and even these characters have odd moves like paper airplanes and breast missiles), then there some stranger fighters such as flatulence-weaponizing clowns (Drew), a werewolf who can enlarge his head and also turn into a beagle (Fang), and someone who looks like a giant Oscar trophy (Stevareno). And then there is the final boss himself who is revealed to be... Santa Claus? Or at the very least someone who looks weirdly similar to old St. Nick and happens to have [[ShockAndAwe lighting based powers]] and a prehensile beard. Also Claus' stage appears to be based somewhere in China and has Sun Wukong flying in the background who can take whoever defeated Claus to turn that character into a copy of Claus to fight a MirrorMatch against Claus.
