Strider Hiryu: Difference between revisions

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

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

** Strider Kain has a "C" (implying that his name is meant to be "[[Spell My Name With an "S"|Cain]]") and Matic has an "M."

* [[Cool Sword]]: The cypher, specially in the manga and ''Strider 2''.

** [[Capcom vs. Whatever]]: As already said, Hiryu is a playable character in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 1'', ''2'' and (recently) ''Ultimate'', as well as ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]''. Ton Pooh appears in the first ''MvC'' as an [[Assist Character]], and she along with the Grandmaster, Solo, Hien and two [[Mooks]] are AI-only characters in ''NxC''.

* [[Evil Plan]]: The whole story of the manga is revealed to have been the work of {{spoiler|Matic}}, who started it three years before its beginning as a way to get enough power and resources to [[Take Over the World]].

* [[Heroic Mime]]: In the arcade game, Hiryu says only one or two phrases: "Take me to your boss!", and calling the aerial battleship a toy.

** Hiryu is more or less [[The Quiet One]] elsewhere, ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]'' and ''UMvC3'' being perhaps the best exceptions.

* [[Segmented Serpent]]: Ouroboros in the first game, the Emperor Dragon in ''Strider 2''.

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Ouroboros, the first arcade boss, uses one, though it's more of a sinister sickle. [[Glorious Mother Russia|With a hammer.]]

* [[Space Base]]: The Third Moon, the Grandmaster's moon-shaped lair.

** [[That's No Moon]]

* [[This Is a Drill]]: The humongous drill machine used as a giant boss in ''Strider 2''.

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Hien's main method of attack. It's also his [[Achilles Heel]], as he's vulnerable inbetween each throw.

* [[Timed Mission]]: With all the slowly approaching hazards, you probably wouldn't see ''Time Over'' very often.

* [[Translation Convention]]: Averted in the original arcade game, where each character speaks in his or her own native language during voice clips (i.e. Japanese for Hiryu, English for Solo and the Grandmaster, Mandarin for Ton-Pooh). Played straight by the PC Engine version, where everyone speaks Japanese.

* [[Obvious Beta]]: The NES game.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Kain {{spoiler|and Kuramoto}} in the manga.

* [[Orcus On His Throne]]: Faceas Clay is calmly awaiting for Hiryu while sitting in one, in both versions.

* [[Playing With Fire]]: Hiryu gains several fire-based attacks as he levels up.
