{{tropelist}}
* [[Alice Allusion]]: Alice, natch.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Talos can turn his bottom half into an axe.
* [[Bare -Fisted Monk]]: Footee in the first game, Chen Mao in the second.
* [[BFS]]: Goat.
* [[Bishonen]]: Leon.
* [[Casting a Shadow]]: Sittara.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Lightning in the first, Leon in the second game.
* [[Expy]]: Several. Yashou may remind you [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Crono]], another [[Heroes Prefer Swords|sword-wielding,]] [[Redheaded Hero]], Rosemary's appearance is very similar to another [[Street Fighter|Rose]], and Goat can pass off as an evil [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud Strife]].
* [[Golem]]: Talos is supposed to be one of these, but his immense size makes him more of a [[Humongous Mecha]].
* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]: Rosemary.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: The small, undead character appropriately named "Zam-B". (Zombie).
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: Rosemary in the second game. Seriously, those things have a mind of their own.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Yashou.
Line 25 ⟶ 22:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Footee, to the point where she's a borderline [[Game Breaker]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Rosemary, a busty, sword-wielding babe who wears a [[Leotard of Power|skintight leotard.]] Even more evident in the sequel, where her already generous bust increase several cup sizes and gains [[Jiggle Physics]] that would make [[Fatal Fury|Mai]] blush.
* [[Necromancer]]: Alice.
* [[Ninja]]: Rokurouta in the 2ndsecond game.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Yashou.
* [[Sexy Walk]]: Rosemary.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: [[Meaningful Name|Lightning]].
Line 33 ⟶ 30:
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]:
** Subverted. Leon was intended to be Lightning's replacement for the second game, but instead chose to give him an entirely different moveset and gameplay style.
** Chen Mao is this to Footee in the second game, due to complaints about the latter's [[Game Breaker|"cheapness".]].
* [[Token Mini MoeLoli]]: Alice.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]: Nanami in the 2ndsecond game.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Rosemary, Sittara, and Alice.
