Strider Hiryu: Difference between revisions

 

== General ==

* [[Audible Sharpness]]: [[Most Wonderful Sound|SWHING!!]]

* [[Bishonen]]: In ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' and beyond.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Both the NES and the original arcade games are really hard due to Hiryu's [[Hitbox Dissonance|funky hitboxes]]. The arcade has a extra whammy of not [[Jump Physics|being able to control Hiryu mid-jump]]. The final stage in the original arcade game is almost impossible to complete without excessive credit munching.

* [[One-Man Army]]: The Striders are billed as being as such. The lowest ranked guys in the group can fight on par with ''entire special force units''.

* [[Reformulated Game]]

** The arcade and Famicom versions were developed in tandem. Strangely, the Famicom version was canceled despite the fact that it was heavily promoted by Moto Kikaku's tie-in manga, although it eventually saw a U.S.-exclusive release on the NES.

** The PC Engine port has an optional stage that was not in any other port of the coin-op version.

* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: The third stage in the first game has a pretty frustrating one, where the slight lag in moving will end up with a crushed Strider.

* [[Always Someone Better]]: The main reason behind Hien's motivation to defeat Hiryu; he's jealous that someone so young could be talented enough to earn the highest honor bestowed to a Strider and the praise that came with it.

* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]: The Kuniang trio: Ton Pooh, Bei Pooh and Sai Pooh.

* [[Galactic Conqueror]]: The Grandmaster.

* [[Glorious Mother Russia]]: The arcade version of the game stays mostly within the Soviet Union, except for the fourth level, which takes place [[Jungle Japes|deep in the Amazon]].

* [[Gravity Screw]]: Certain areas in both games have the gravity reversed, which forces the player to walk in the ceiling.

* [[Headless Horseman]]: Not with his horse, but a Dullahan is summoned and, [[Hoist by His Own Petard|after killing his summoner]], engages in a boss battle in ''Strider 2''.
