Bloody Roar: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

The fighting system (somewhat reminiscent of ''[[Fighting Vipers]]'') is a basic 3 button layout with a punch, kick and beast change. The special thing about this franchise is the ability to (as the story suggests) morph into different animals and become stronger and have access to different attacks and special moves. They can also heal while in beast form. The games combine 2D fighting game elements with 3D elements, complete with jumping by holding up and side stepping.

After laying dormant for over eight years, a sixth entry in the series is [https://twitter.com/#!/HudsonSoftLtd/status/119880429175185408 currently in production.] From what it sounds like, it's a [[Continuity Reboot]]...

{{tropelist}}

* [[Action Mom]]: Mitsuko... eww.

** [[Apron Matron]]

* [[Cloning Blues]]: Shenlong initially loathes Long, conflicted by the fact that he was cloned from him (the truly noticeable differences in appearance between the two being Shenlong's [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] and [[Evil Albino|white fur]], most likely due to genetic manipulation). He eventually gets over this and mellows out, his role towards Long becoming significantly less antagonistic, to the extent of [[Worthy Opponent|a friendly rivalry of sorts]]. It's even implied from the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCxHed_f59o opening] of ''Extreme''/''Primal Fury'' that he's friends with Uriko, Long's student.

* [[Clothing Damage]]: Self-inflicted, since they rip their clothes when morphing into animals. The clothes come right back on when they morph back.

* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Alice, Jenny, Uranus, and Nagi.

* [[Combos]]

* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Ganesha.

** Heck, Shina and Busuzima can do ''their third Beast Drives'' with no problem!

* [[Happily Adopted]]: Shina, the adopted daughter of Gado. Kenji is Yugo's adopted younger brother, and Alice was adopted by Mitsuko, also making her Uriko's older sister.

* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Sums up why [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|most people]] hate these games.

* [[Hired Guns]]: Both Gado and Shina [[Retired Badass|are former mercenaries]].

* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Alice, before joining the W.O.C. (The World of Co-Existence), a non-government organization dedicated to bringing about peaceful relations between humans and Zoanthropes.

* [[Put on a Bus]]: Fox and Greg simply disappeared after the first game. Mitsuko is a different case: while she also hasn't been available outside of ''1'', her status as Uriko's mom keeps her gravitating around the game's story.

* [[Randomly-Gifted]]: Zoantrhopy is seemingly randomly developed.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Among other examples, Nagi (when controlled by the Unborn) and Ryoho (when he loses control of his Dragon transformation).

* [[Redheaded Hero|Redheaded Heroine]]: Nagi, [[Power Dyes Your Hair|in her Spurious form]].

** Xion's beast form is clearly inspired by the [[Guyver]] while Nagi's is a very clear shoutout to the [[Witchblade]] anime design.

* [[SNK Boss]]: Cronos, Ryoho, Uranus.

* [[Spinning Piledriver]]; Bakuryu's 1st Beast Drive, which begins with an [[Petal Power|explosion of leaves]].

* [[Split Personality]]/[[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Nagi has a part of Gaia in her blood and goes crazy when she's under control of the Unborn. Long shows some signs of this in his ''BR1'' ending, but it's never brought up in later games.
