** "Unique" attacks (so named because they are usually character-specific normals) that use dive kicks include Rufus's Falcon Kick ([[Super Smash Bros.|no, not that one); Yun and Yung's Raigeki Shu; Akuma's Tenmakujinkyaku, which is also used by Evil Ryu/Kage and Gouken; and Necalli's Road of the Sun.

** The Gespenst line of mecha is known for the Gespenst Kick finisher move. If you give certain Gespensts a different pilot in the Original Generations subseries, all of the characters that can pilot a Gespenst have unique recorded lines. As the Gespenst's first outing is Hero Senki, a crossover game featuring the [[Kamen Rider]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam]], and [[Ultraman]] franchises, it can be theorized that Gilliam Yeagar, creator of the Gespenst line in the Super Robot Wars multiverse and constant [[Dimensional Traveler]], paid homage to the Rider Kick in-universe with the Gespenst Kick.

** As a [[Kamen Rider]] homage, Raioh and its upgrade Dairaioh have an upward variant in the form of the Rising Meteor and Rising Meteor Inferno finishers.

* [[Super Smash Bros.]] has Captain Falcon's Falcon Kick, which becomes a dive kick if done in midair.

* ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' has [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon's]] Falcon Kick, which becomes a dive kick if done in midair.
