* CapcomSequelStagnation: Flat out {{defied|Trope}} in the trailer.

to:

* CapcomSequelStagnation: Flat [[FinalBoss S-Kill]] is a parody of this practice, being the leader of an organization looking to rebalance the world so it can repackage and sell it anew. His win animation also has him pulling out {{defied|Trope}} in a copy of Divekick with randomly generated WordSaladTitle suffixes and prefixes like the trailer.kind one would expect from a game afflicted by this. The game itself also poked some fun at this with its free DLC referred to as ''Divekick: Addition Edition+''.

The game parodies the 2D FightingGame genre and UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity, stripping the former down to the most basic requirements: two buttons (one to jump, one to divekick) and [[RocketTagGameplay one direct strike to win]].

* TakeThat: The game has [[VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken gems that increase diving and kicking]], and, in an early build, [[DownloadableContent one DLC gem that you needed to pay $8.95 for that does both]]. It could also have counted as a bigger TakeThat to Creator/{{Capcom}}'s DLC policy in general. It's worth noting that the DLC gem required a third button, which ''Divekick'' doesn't use. Said gem was later taken out and replaced with 2 more gems - the Style Gem and the YOLO Gem.
