23	!!''Combat Core'' contains examples of:
24	* ActionGirl: The original cast contains a healthy mix of women and men, while the character editor supports girls as well as guys.
25	* {{Expy}}: Fitting its ''Power Stone'' inspiration, spotlight character Bruizer looks just like Edward Falcon.
26	* GuestFighter: Two of the characters are Kizuna and Zetto from ''WebAnimation/{{TOME}}''. There's also Ares from ''VideoGame/AresExtinctionAgenda''.
27	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Mostly inverted, as all of the male characters except Squaz have at least one ranged attack built into their kit, while the only female character that has any such ranged attacks by default is Kizuna. However, all characters, regardless of gender, can be equipped with the [[KamehameHadouken Energy Wave Beam]] and Vortex Bomb attacks, allowing the player to give ranged coverage to an otherwise exclusively CloseRangeCombatant like Ember or Pugi.
28	* ShoutOut:
29	** As a nod to the game's "special backers", there are costume pieces that let you turn your custom character into [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay Matt McMuscles, Woolie, The Baz]], or [[LetsPlay/YoVideoGames the Scrublord]].
30	** The achievement for beating Arcade Mode as Mist is called "VideoGame/DeadOrAlive", a nod to that series’ influence on her design.
