Battle Clash: Difference between revisions

----

=== These games use the following tropes: ===

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Certain STs have weak points that, when hit by a charged shot, will deal lots of damage (or, in ''Metal Combat'', destroy them completely). They don't [[Attack Its Weak Point|glow]] unless you hit them with a high-powered charge shot. In some cases (such as with ST Arachnus), you want to ''avoid'' hitting the enemy's weak spot, as it [[Turns Red|only makes them more powerful]].

* [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]]: Any battle against any of Anubis' incarnations.

* [[Berserk Button]]: When Mike mentions to Carlos that the ST Falcon has a separate person for the gunner.

* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: Eddie and the ST Valius. This guy is so fast he can jump out of the corner of one side of the screen and reappear from the other less than a second later, landing in the same exact spot. In other words, he manages to cover the entire span of the stage you're on in a single jump. The stage in question (the Tower of Babel) is a ''giant space elevator''.

* [[Cherry Tapping]]: Basic turbo shots. These do negligible damage and don't even scratch most STs' armor, but in ''Metal Combat'', this can actually net you the best ending.

* [[Cognizant Limbs]]: Every mech has bits and pieces of armor that can be damaged and/or destroyed in battle. In the first game, ST Lorca's limbs will fly back onto the torso when blasted off unless you deal enough damage to destroy them.

* [[The Collector]]: Carlos collects the heads of his defeated opponents' ST's as personal trophies..

* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: The V-System. It boosts your attack power, deflects all enemy bullets, and keeps the opponent centered, but continually drains your ST's energy until it reaches critical.

** The Neutron Beam is this as well, as it deals massive amounts of damage if it hits, but using it also puts your ST in critical.

* [[Rocket Punch]]: Garam and Thanatos use them. Thanatos will even use a Rocket Kick by launching his ST's legs at you.

* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: In ''Metal Combat'''s [[Final Boss]] battle, Typhon has captured Rola and uses her to guard his newly-upgraded mech's weak spot. She begs you to shoot her to help bring him down, but you can avoid doing so to get a better ending.

* [[Shout-Out]]: The theme that plays after completing a practice level is the same music as the level-up theme from ''[[Fire Emblem]]''. After all, the composer of both games was Yuka Tsujiyoko, the woman behind the music composition of most of the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games.

** The name and effects of the V-System are similliar to V-MAX in [[Blue Comet SPT Layzner]].

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: The Neutron Beam.

* [[You Have No Chance to Survive]]
