Line 99:
* [[Bullfight Boss]] - Stigro.
** Exusia, due to its extreme maneuverability can also devolve into this.
* [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]]
* [[Capcom Sequel Stagnation]]: There were three games before ''Armored Core 2'' was released, one more before ''Armored Core 3'', '''six''' more before ''Armored Core 4'', and one more before ''Armored Core V''. There's usually enough content, new parts, and a new mechanic or two to make them better than the average [[Mission Pack Sequel]], though, thankfully. From Software apparently just didn't want to change numbers that often. Also, a new number in the title usually means the start of a new storyline. The sole exception is ''Armored Core: Formula Front'', a [[Gaiden Game]] that's basically a [[Fighting Game]] built on the ''Armored Core 3''-series game engine.
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]
* [[Chainsaw Good]]
* [[Character Customization]]: Thanks to the number of body parts and weaponry, a [[Self Imposed Challenge]] can be to make up the sleek [[Evangelion]] or [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Valkyrie]] robots, the Fujikoma from [[Ghost in the Shell (manga)|Ghost in the Shell]], your very own [[Metal Gear (video game)|Metal Gear]], a [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]] Zord, or anything in between. Then there's the reverse joints and tank treads.
** In For Answer, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVIBnJFF7p4 one player] even managed to create a copy of Id Weltall from [[Xenogears]] and took down the Answerer with it.
** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87GcyIR09xE Another player] somehow imagined [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]] crossing into the For Answer timeline as he constructed what looked like an [[Ace Custom]] Gespenst Mk. II, and what did he do next? {{Spoiler|Wreck the Spirit of Motherwill to pieces.}}
* [[Chess Motifs]]: ORCA strategist Maltzel has a chess piece for his emblem and refers to his proteges Hari and Vaoh as Pawns.
* [[Chicken Walker]]: A common enemy to meet when you start your mech-piloting carreer, they only take a rifle bullet to put in the scrap heap. Alternatively, you can choose to equip your mech with "chicken legs", which are most often suited for air combat.
* [[Colony Drop]]
** As the Player in ''Armored Core For Answer'', you can drop no less than 5 of these in rapid succession, [[Complete Monster|whilst a cheerful Russian records the killcount in blocks of twenty million murdered civilians.]]
* [[Comeback Mechanic]]
* [[Competitive Balance]] - General AC types are [[Jack of All Stats|Midweight Bipeds]], [[Fragile Speedster|Lightweight Bipeds]], [[Ryu and Ken|Light Reverse Joints]], [[Mighty Glacier|Tank]] [[Stone Wall|ACs]], [[Mighty Glacier|Heavyweight Bipeds]], [[Glass Cannon|Snipers]], [[Glass Cannon|Missile]][[Squishy Wizard|boats]], [[Joke Character|Pure]] [[Lethal Joke Character|Bladers]], [[Lightning Bruiser|Balanced Bladers]], [[Lightning Bruiser|OverBoosting]] [[Magic Knight|Jousters]] and a few more. All of these archetypes are available to the player, provided (s)he can access the needed parts, with each style requiring different skills and tactics to utilize properly. If one wishes it is possible to blend two or more styles together, though the results of the more ambitious blends (like sniper OB jousting) end to either be [[Jack of All Stats|unremarkable]] or [[Joke Character|somewhat crappy]].
** In ''For Answer'', there are [[Lightning Bruiser|PA]] [[Action Bomb|Bombers]].
