Strider Hiryu: Difference between revisions

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: In the manual for the Genesis version, the Grandmaster is referred by the name of "Grandmaster Meio". However, "Meio" is not actually a name, but a Japanese title equivalent to "Grandmaster".

* [[Depopulation Bomb]]: The Grandmaster's plan was this, erasing all lifeforms (all the "Sons of Old Gods") off Earth so he could create his own lifeforms and thus [[A God Am I|become a god]].

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Hien.

* [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]: Seen in the 4th stage, courtesy of the Grandmaster.

** [[Stock Dinosaurs]]: T-Rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus and [[Stock Dinosaurs Non Dinosaurs|Pteranodon]].

* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: One of Solo's attack in the first game.

* [[Pirate]]: The Balrog's captain, Beard Jr. Comes with peg leg and hook hand included!

* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: The robot panther looks awesome, but doesn't shoot and has serious problems keeping up with Hiryu and not falling off ledges. Most experienced players avoid further powerups once they have two droids.

* [[Promoted to Unlockable]]: Hien becomes playable in the PS port of ''Strider 2''.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Solo is fought two or three times (depending if the player ignores the first encounter) in the first game, and twice in the second (the initial fight being now two phases). Hien is a recurring boss in the PS port of ''Strider 2'', since he's in the PS-only bonus stage.

* [[Death by Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|Strider Kain in the NES game just before the final stage (he survives in the manga).}}

* [[Determinator]]: Hiryu. Specially near the end of the manga.

* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Faceas Clay's motivation in the manga is to force humanity to evolve through mind control, as he believes all humans to be [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|flawed since inception with malice.]]

** [[A God Am I]]: He actually says he wants to "take the seat of God" and finish his work.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: Sheena.

* [[Healing Hands]]: Hiryu gains three healing skills as he levels up in the game.
