Asura's Wrath/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Brick Joke]]: The rock shelf on the moon that was raised up during the Augus fight is pushed back down during the fight with {{spoiler|Ryu}} in Lost Episode 1, only to be ''brought back up again'' during the fight with {{spoiler|Akuma}} in Lost Episode 2. Also in Lost Episode 1, {{spoiler|Augus' discarded scabbard can be seen.}}

* [[Broken Base]]: Due to the game's overall design and gameplay, there's a clear division between those who think it's an over-the-top cinematic action ''game'' and those who think it's an over-the-top interactive ''movie''.

* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Even moreso than ''[[Bayonetta]]'', which is ''really'' saying something.

* [[Critical Dissonance]]

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] [[Asura's Wrath/Awesome|Oh so many moments.]]

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: [[Asura's Wrath/Funny|See here]].

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: [[Asura's Wrath/Heartwarming|Shown here.]]

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Asura's Wrath/Awesome Music|Here.]]

* [[Cult Classic]]: Slowly becoming one of these, due to relatively poor sales. Not unlike [[Okami]], another Capcom-related game with poor sales.

* [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome]]: How some players feel about Asura, feeling he's kind of [[Flat Character|one-note]] compared to the other protagonist, Yasha, who changes more significantly from a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] at the beginning of the game to [[The Atoner]] at the end.

** Gamespot gave it an 5.5. Asura gained some rivals when it comes to rage.

** [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] gave it a 6 out of 10, while also giving it his "Badass seal of approval". He explains that, while the story is awesome, the game itself is lacking.

* [[Excuse Plot]]: Intentionally avoided, unlike most other action games. The developers even stated that they conceived the story first and adapted the gameplay to it.

* [[Game Breaker]]: The Obliterator Gauge. The Unlimited Gauge is always full, meaning Asura won't be taking any damage whatsoever, and can spam the heavy attack. {{spoiler|For Yasha, he can be incredibly fast all the time.}} The only thing hindering it is that you have to press LT/L2 button to activate it (except on Easy), but it's not much of a problem.

** It's also somewhat of a [[Bragging Rights Reward]], as you need to complete all episodes with the life-reducing Mortal Gauge to unlock it.

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: The way the game plays out, with high abundance of [[Quick Time Event|Quick Time Events]] (despite probably being some of the best implemented QTEs out there) caused explosions of rage amongst the Hardcore market.

* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: Some feared that this would've been the consequence of the abundance of [[Quick Time Event|Quick Time Events]]. It's actually a subversion, since the demo was set on Easy. Hard mode is so difficult that the developers themselves can't beat it.

** Wyzen's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87WPzlJNe4w One Hundred Ton Tea Bag!]

** [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Many have compared Asura to Akuma. They both end up fighting each other in Lost Episode 2.

* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: Wyzen's laughter during his 2nd phase.

{{quote|'''WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'''!}}

** Yasha has an array of stock hurt noises, but there is one distinct cry of pain, one that is easily identified when its reused, even in otherwise fully voiced cutscenes.

** "[[Tutorial Level|HA HA, NOT BAD!]]"

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The deaths of {{spoiler|Karlow, Sergei, and Olga. Kalrow gets crushed inside an escape pod (made worse by the fact that we see the whole thing, and it takes a while, as in it ''slowly'' closes on him as Asura crushes it and he pleads for him to stop), Sergei has his ''stomach slashed open'' (it didn't kill him, and he started ''shouting in joy''; Asura ''smashes his head like a grape''), and Olga gets diced by the Golden Spider's web.}}

** {{spoiler|May not be diced exactly, but it definitely seems that her spine gets snapped or otherwise broken.}}

** {{spoiler|The end of episode 11.5 where Asura's power starts going out of control is quite graphical.}}

** {{spoiler|Sergei speaking enthusiastically with ecstasy after getting gored up by Asura. Not to mention the same look of ecstasy he has when making souls migrate up to his septentrion ship.}}

* [[Player Punch]]: {{spoiler|Episode 12. [[Up to Eleven|All of it.]]}}

* [[Signature Scene]]: Asura vs. Wyzen's country-sized finger. It was used in 2 different trailers for the game as well as a TV ad in Japan.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[Asura's Wrath/Tear Jerker|Here]].

* [[That One Boss]]: ''Every boss'' becomes this with the [[Nintendo Hard|Mortal Gauge]] equipped, even on Easy. The first encounter with [[The Rival|Yasha]] in Episode 6 is exceptionally frustrating, and they only get harder from there.
