History VideoGame / RumbleRoses

* LongHairIsFeminine: Mostly averted, most of the girls have short hair even the girly girls tend to have shorter hair with the longest hair not being much longer than shoulder length. Some girls that have girly hair styles like Becky/Candy Cane have Pigtails which are not that long.

* PainToTheAss: The atomic drop and Manhattan drop both exist in this game, and they're moves in which the attacker drives the defender tailbone first onto the attacker's knee. While the move supposedly compresses the spine and hurts the back, the Roses sell it by holding their butts. That being said, the holding-your-butt sell is used for a lot of back based slams and throws, and sometimes just randomly.

* TheOneGuy: Sebastian the Clown (the gimp with clown makeup who accompanies Mistress Spencer during her ring entrance) is an unlockable character in the Japanese version of the first game. He is unlockable is all versions of ''Rumble Roses XX''.

The story modes for each wrestler persona are also notable in a [[SoBadItsGood B-movie]] way. But let's go into a little more detail. It's set up more like a FightingGame than a WrestlingGame. [[{{Pun}} Anesthesia]], the BigBad of the series, wants to take over the world. She plans to use a wrestling tournament to do it, offering a large cash prize to the winner as an incentive. She plans to take the DNA of the tournament winner to make an unstoppable cyborg army. Each of the girls has their own reason for being involved in the tournament. Reiko Hinomoto is trying to live up to her mother's legacy and search for her lost sister. Aisha is obsessed with a rematch against Dixie Clemets, who she was never able to beat. Makoto Aihara is an Olympic judoka seeking competition. Candy Cane wants the cash prize to save the orphanage she grew up in. Miss Spencer ''enters the tournament accidentally'' while trying to chase down a recalcitrant runaway student (Candy Cane). Anyway, at the end of the tournament, the player fights one of Anesthesia's cyborgs, Lady X, and whoever wins goes home happy.

As right now there is one {{sequel}}, ''Rumble Roses XX'', which was released in 2006 for the UsefulNotes/Xbox360. It introduced three new modes (Tag Team, Queens Match and Street Fight) as well as a very unelaborate create-a-wrestler feature. It also introduced "[[SuperMode Superstar]]" personas for each character's face and heel modes. Unfortunately, it featured no storyline mode at all, and an incredibly labyrinthine and time-consuming method of unlocking characters and rewards. Additionally, the extras like Queens Mode, Street Fight, the shoddy create-a-wrestler system and the playable bear proved very unpopular overseas. While ''Rumble Roses'' is generally considered to be a decent game, ''Rumble Roses XX'' was enough of a flop that it seems to have [[FranchiseKiller brought the series to an end]]. The series fell into obscurity with the closest to a revival being Reiko making a playable cameo in ''Super VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} R''. Additionally, there's also a Japan-only slot machine game titled ''Rumble Roses 3D''.

* BoobsOfSteel: Dixie Clements is the wrestler with the most power-based moves in her arsenal, and one of the bustiest as well. Averted by Aigle, who's as much if not more of a power wrestler than Dixie but who sports a modest bust (and memetically admires Dixie's in her story mode).

* DenserAndWackier: ''Rumble Roses XX'' is a mild example, having added such things as the playable bear, the Street Fight mode where getting hit can the girls flying 20 feet in the air, and "moves" like Bloody Shadow's opponent-inhaling giant frog and Lady X Subsistence's robo-noogie, split-body jet power german suplex and turn-into-a-fighter-jet.

* DefeatByModesty: Sort of. Using a hold that presents your opponent to the audience in a suggestive way fills up the humiliation meter. If it fills up all the way, it allows the victim to be put into a humiliation mode, a temporary stun that opens up special finishing moves, and a special victory type. Some maneuvers add to the attacker's meter, or to both, if it puts them in a compromising position. There's a special match type that only allows victory by humiliation.

** Reiko looks a lot like [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]], particularly in her early career as Kana before she started dyeing her hair. The only major difference is Raiko wears boots while Kana was barefoot with kick pads.

** The North American version of the first game doesn't have completed submissions and instead suddenly end when the submission would start in the Japanese version. This is a holdover from early games in the ''WWF [=SmackDown=]!'' series, where submission holds were just a "[=will they tap yes/no?=]" situation instead of having a minigame to escape them. Holds that had been in the ''SmackDown!'' series longer were less likely to have been updated into actual submission holds.

* SeaShellBra: A Bikini that can be purchased for, and worn by all the human female playable characters.

* BoobsOfSteel: Dixie Clements is the wrestler with the most power-based moves in her arsenal, and one of the bustiest as well.

In 2004, Creator/{{Konami}} decided to put a foot in a genre that is rarely touched by video game companies, the wrestling genre (well, at least outside Japan) which in the last years was in the hands of Creator/{{THQ}}, the holder of the Wrestling/{{WWE}} license. However, to the surprise of many, Konami announced that this game would feature an all female cast (this may have been related to the announcement of ''[[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball]]'' around that time). The end result was a big {{fanservice}} extravaganza, with 10 ladies (each with her own {{face}} and {{heel}} persona) wearing quite [[{{Stripperiffic}} revealing]] outfits, appealing to various fetishes. Aside from these regular in-ring costumes, they would also wear swimsuits for beach-side mud wrestling matches. Fanservice aside, ''Rumble Roses'' actually has good gameplay and nice graphics.

* MakeAnExampleOfThem: The Humiliation Move is this; if you've filled up the meter to use this move, you likely could've won normally, and all Humiliation Moves are some kind of submission hold putting the opponent on display. It's also extremely embarrassing in Rumble Roses Canon to lose via H-KO/Humiliation Move, to the point that losing in such an embarrassing way ends feuds.
** The penalty game could also be considered this, as not only does the loser have to do something against her will but her reaction positive or negative is also shown. The girls can react quite [[https://i.imgur.com/8c9tOOp.gifv distraught]] in some occasions.

** The Playstation 2 version in the United States doesn't have completed submissions and instead suddenly end when the submission would start in the Japanese version. This is a holdover from early games in the WWF Smackdown series, where submission holds were just a "[=will they tap yes/no?=]" situation instead of having a minigame to escape them. Holds that had been in the Smackdown series longer were less likely to have been updated into actual submission holds.
** Lady X Subsistance who only appears in the game's 360 version has an attack where she lifts her opponent with one arm and starts spinning her while holding her with her rotate capable arm, however if one notices there is an error with the victim's animation where the victim's arm goes out of place for a second before the spinning starts.

* BoobsOfSteel: While all the girls are rather busty in general and the smaller girls are this for their size the Lady X robots being stronger than the human girls have larger breast than them. With the strongest and most deadly version Subsistance having even bigger breast than both her creator and her more primitive "Substance" incarnation.

* PainToTheAss:
** Many Roses have access to the dreaded atomic drop where the attacker drops the opponent on their knee in a seated position. The victim visibly shows discomfort in the area after the landing with a PainPoweredLeap following the victim holding their rear end. In one double X [[https://i.imgur.com/15bVnym.gifv move sequence]] the victim is atomic dropped by one of her attackers before the followup and again they visibly sell their [[https://i.imgur.com/gj9I6AG.gifv rump pain]].
** Aigle and Great Khan both have a judo attack with two variations each where the opponent is tripped and turned and they fall on their [[https://i.imgur.com/A9OW2DC.gifv rear end]]. The victim gets on her side and holds her backside momentarily. One variation includes the attacker holding on their her victim's leg but this variation also shows her victim aching to their aching bottom.
** One brutal looking Double X move that can be initiated depending on the Rose in action involves both Roses on one team lifting their opponent after putting the victim's arm over their shoulders (one side each). Then both aggressors lift the victim by her thighs opening her legs wide and leaving her in a seated position. While in said seated position both aggressors toss the victim into the air in a free fall and she lands seated into the mat with their tailbone taking all the force. The victim is shown holding her aching backside afterwards before laying on the mat.
** All Roses have a "trip" attack where they grab an opponents leg while the aggressor is outside of the ring and the victim inside. The aggressor pulls the victim's leg towards them which causes the victim to lose her footing and fall backwards falling in a seated position into the mat. This doesn't do any damage to the victim but their victim tend to their backside for a rather long time while the aggressor can get into the ring and start attacking their opponent.
** The "limbo" penalties medium and hard can have the loser fall on their rear end while trying to get past. They hold their hurt bottoms afterwards. Interestingly the loser noticeably tends to her [[https://i.imgur.com/YlTZUqu.gifv hurt butt]] more when they fail the medium version compared to the hard version.
** Candy Cane's lethal attack in the Playstation 2 is a two stage sequence attack that starts with Candy kicking her opponent right in their rear end between the glutes. The victim noticably bend forward while holding their hurt butt which sets up the second part of the attack sequence for Candy Cane. In the 360 version Candy loses this attack but the Lambda custom character can be given the attack with a specific moveset.
** While Candy lost the attack her "SuperStar" version in the 360 game has Candy with two lethal attacks. The version that doesn't involve her Guitar has Candy after hurricanrana'ing her opponent sees Candy get into a seated position facing her opponent, then grabbing her opponent's butt cheeks one hand each and while holding the area has her force her opponent into a hand standing position. They are kicked in the back not too long after so they don't have long to tend to their rear ends in this sequence.
** Power based fighters gain an attack where they kick the opponent in the midsection so hard they fall on their rear ends due to the impact. As usual for falling on their butts the victim tends to her rear end a bit.
** As part of Candy Cane and Miss Spencer's unique introduction when Candy is getting into the ring Miss Spencer gives Candy a rather stiff slap to her punk butt, visibly making Candy fall into the ring in the process. While Candy doesn't sell any butt pain this could be considered karma for what she has made the butts of her opponents go through.

* MaleGaze: Everything but the one that really stands out is when a character is ready to be finished off with a Humiliation Move.
** Special mention goes to the character select screen, that has a second fixed angle to focus on the rumble butt of the [[https://i.imgur.com/KkOeu4Q.jpg girl]] [[https://i.imgur.com/x04JH1S.jpg who]] [[https://i.imgur.com/H3dSDce.jpg is]] [[https://i.imgur.com/1CtZVyJ.jpg chosen]].

* PaintedOnPants: A rose wearing [[https://i.imgur.com/97mg5wa.jpg pants]] or [[https://i.imgur.com/MVpfaH4.jpg any clothing]] over her butt doesn't mean it can't be seen.

* ClothingSwitch: The Playstation 2 version allowed the girls to swap introductions, the 360 version let the player buy an outfit for the roses to wear that are the default outfits of other roses. [[https://youtu.be/EUExqQbZdUo Here is Becky doing Reiko's superstar introduction wearing Reiko's superstar outfit.]]

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: The good girls are not exactly modestly dressed, but they tend to be more dressed compared to both their evil counterparts AND other evil girls, Candy Cane for example shows part of her breast while Becky covers the area while wearing the same amount of clothing that just covers the whole area they encompass. Dixie despite being very skimpy is more dressed than her evil version SGT Clemets who surprisingly wears even more skimpy clothes.

* [[HoistHeroOverHead Hoist Hero(ine) Over Head]] Substance in both the [[https://i.imgur.com/PXNc7VM.jpg Playstation 2]] version and also in the [[https://i.imgur.com/EzDuELv.jpg 360 version]] can do this as part of her rotate and toss attack. Her upgraded 360 version also [[https://i.imgur.com/tLJ2UTn.jpg gains access]] to the same attack. It is possibly most fitting when [[https://i.imgur.com/SrNXQnl.jpg Reiko]] or [[https://i.imgur.com/7r0MVM8.jpg Noble Rose]] fall victim to this. Even heel girls can be victims.

** The Playstation 2 version in the United States for some reason doesn't have completed submissions and instead suddenly end when the submission would start in the Japanese version.

** Many Roses have access to the dreaded atomic drop where the attacker drops the opponent on their knee in a seated position. The victim visibly shows discomfort in the area after the landing with a PainPoweredLeap following the victim holding their rear end. In one double X move sequence the victim is atomic dropped by one of her attackers before the followup and again they visibly sell their [[https://i.imgur.com/gj9I6AG.gifv rump pain]].

** The penalty game could also be considered this, as not only does the loser have to do something against her will but her reaction positive or negative is also shown. The girls can react quite distraught in some occasions.
