----
This series provide example of:
* [[Armor Is Useless]]: (Subverted, the armor is useful, until it breaks off.)
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: (Many of Honey's moves use her posterior as a weapon.)
** Sanman has two or three as well.
* [[Bishonen]]: (Tokio)
* [[Bonus Boss]]: (Kuhn)
* [[Bowdlerization]]: Sega of America removed a wallpaper from the home port of the game featuring Honey stripped down to her undergarments (basically, what you see when you break all her armor.).
* [[Break Meter]]: Characters have specific moves that damage armor. This was transferred to ''[[Fighters Megamix]]'', where the ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' characters' signature moves were given this property.
* [[Chained by Fashion]]: Raxel's armor makes heavy use of chains for whatever reason.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: (The breakable armor.)
* [[Crossover]]: (''[[Fighters Megamix]]'' which featured characters from its sister games ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'', ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic The Fighters]]'', ''[[Virtua Cop]]'' and ''[[Daytona USA]]'').
* [[Cultural Translation]]: In the American release of the first game, Honey dyed her hair blond and was renamed Candy.
* [[The Cutie]]: (Emi)
* [[Dummied Out]] [http://www.x-cult.org/games/150/Fighting_Vipers (Sonic, Tails and Takashi Iizuka)]
* [[Expy]]: (Bahn is essentially [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure|Jotaro Kujo.]])
* [[Fad Super]]: (Grace, Picky, and Charlie are based on extreme sports--rollerblading, skateboarding, and BMX, respectively.)
* [[Genki Girl]]: (Emi)
* [[Guest Fighter]]: (PEPSIMAN!!)
** Through hacking, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic and Tails]]
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]: (Picky and Charlie. Sanman's throw is a bowling toss -- there's even a pin-hitting sound effect.)
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: (Speaking of Picky and Charlie... Especially Charlie; very few people not named [[Jackie Chan]] beat guys up with bicycles.)
* [[Instrument of Murder]]: (Raxel's guitar)
* [[Joke Character]]: (Kumachan)
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: (Jane in the American release doesn't look like much due to [[Palette Swap]]. In the original Japanese versions however, she turns out to be [[Aliens|Private Vasquez]].)
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: (Sanman)
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] Honey. Generally she is the only thing people remember about the series.
* [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]]: (Grace's backstory)
* [[Palette Swap]]: (Jane in the American version.)
* [[Product Placement]]: (Pepsiman and Picky's Pepsi skateboard in the first game.)
* [[Rollerblade Good]]: (Grace)
* [[SNK Boss]]: (Kuhn. OUCH. And when he beats you, you don't get another go at him.)
* [[Stripperiffic]]: (Grace and <s> Candy</s> Honey wear next to nothing when their armor breaks off.)
* [[Totally Radical]]: (seemsSeems to be what [[AM 2]] was going for when they made the game).
