On top of that, there are sixteen more characters yet to come.
Line 18:
** Some characters have their own [[Assist Character|assists]] appear in their specials. Soma Cruz and Crono in particular take this [[Up to Eleven]], with Soma using his Souls and Crono using his teammates.
* [[Author Appeal]]: The likely reason for Ivy's current chest size; [[Word of God|according to Ahruon]], Orkimides [[Buxom Is Better|insisted on choosing the biggest size available]] for her sprite revision. The [http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=93401.msg1427705#msg1427705 end result], however, borders on [[Gag Boobs]] territory.
* [[Boss Battle]]: Confirmed as present via the Mugen Guild thread. The only revealed boss so far is {{spoiler|Diablo as he's seen in ''[[Diablo (Video Gameseries)|Diablo]] II''.}}
* [[Composite Character]]: Several members of the playable cast are this.
** Samus is a notable example. She's wearing the Super Metroid/Metroid Prime era Varia Suit, and is equipped with her standard arsenal of weapons, including Power Bombs, Super Missiles, and the Ice Beam. However, she also brings along [[Metroid Prime (Video Game)|the Grapple Lasso]], [[Metroid: Other M (Video Game)|the Overblast technique]], and even the [[Super Smash Bros (Video Game)|Zero Laser]].
* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: Any match is guaranteed to be this.
* [[Desperation Attack]]/[[Limit Break]]: The Crisis Card Attacks. See "[[Difficult but Awesome]]" below.
* [[Development Hell]]: Given that it's made by only two people who work on it in their free time and has been in development for four years, it'd be more surprising if it didn't fall in this.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: The Crisis Card Attacks. Before you can even perform the attack, your health must be low enough to be flashing red and you must have both Alpha and Beta Meters filled. You then must successfully hit the opponent with a Chain Attack, which can be blocked and which will use up a Crisis Card no matter if it hits or misses. Keep in mind that you only get two cards per match, and they don't replenish. However, if you hit the Chain Attack you are treated to a [[Overly-Long Fighting Animation|30-second cinematic]] of concentrated ''awesome'' as your character beats the ''living hell'' out of the opponent.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Many characters (such as [[Kirby (Video Game)|King Dedede]]) were initially considered for the roster before being made into Support Cards. The most notable example is [[Fatal Fury (Video Game)|Mai]] [[The King of Fighters (Video Game)|Shiranui]], who actually had pictures and gameplay footage of her as a playable character before she was downgrade to Support Card status.
* [[Doing It for Thethe Art]]
* [[Dueling Games]]: Not so much the case with Card Sagas Wars itself, but some of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ePGaDh1iw gameplay] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDjeO1wCJmo trailers] pair characters from what could be considered rival franchises.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: The total roster is slated to have 36 characters, which is surprisingly high even by professional standards. The total number of Support Cards is also said to be over ''90''.
* [[Mega Crossover]]/[[Mascot Fighter]]: Being [[MUGEN]]-based, it's par for the course.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The stages, whether you're in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Sacred Forest Meadow]], on the surface of [[Halo (Video Gameseries)|Valhalla]], crossing [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Zenan Bridge]], or inside the [[Metroid (Video Game)|Ceres Space Colony]], there's so much to look at, you just might find yourself forgetting about the fight at hand.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: The game has been in development for several ''years'' and most likely still has years to come. It doesn't help that the updates are very sporadic; Aruhon and Orkimedes take their time getting the next update ready, and they have a tendency to disappear between updates. It is [[Justified Trope]], as two people are making this game by scratch.
* [[Super Move Portrait Attack]]
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: If the trailers are anything to go by, [[Soul Series (Video Game)|Ivy]] and [[Metroid (Video Game)|Samus]] <ref>You can faintly hear her say [[Metroid: Other M (Video Game)|"Time to go"]] after her Crisis Card Attack</ref> are the only English-speaking playable characters from Japanese games. Everyone else, regardless of whether or not they had English voiceovers at one point or another, is speaking in Japanese or is a [[Heroic Mime]] of some sort.
** [[Suddenly Voiced]]: [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Crono]] goes from being a [[Heroic Mime]] to fully voiced, despite his home game having no voice acting whatsoever.
* [[Theres No Kill Like Overkill]]: The Crisis Card Attacks can come off as this.
** [[Overly-Long Fighting Animation]]: This too.
