''Urban Rivals'' is an MMO game mixing the aspects of a [[Collectible Card Game]] with a Mons game. If you don't have an adblocker, most tropers will have seen the ads dozens of times on this site. The game is played with four on four matches between cards selected at random from your deck at the start of the battle.

You boost your cards power with Pillz tokens, and there is a great deal of bluffing and trying to get an edge on your opponent in Pillz. The individual cards gain experience and evolve, becoming stronger and more useful. You gain in-game currency with each victory, and can even earn Credits with missions, and can get everything this way, albeit [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|very slowly.]] Buying random booster packs to increase your collection faster is as big in this as in any physical TCG.

Line 14:

* [[The Atoner]]: Alec of Rescue is motivated to become the best firefighter because he bullied Kenny to the point where he became [[Person of Mass Destruction|a human torch of destruction]].

* [[Bad Guy Bar]]: The Get 'O' Bar.

* [[Badass Normal]]: In a city filled with monsters, aliens, freaks, mutants, magicians, and cyborgs, gangs such as the Montanas, La Junta, All-Stars, Bangers, and Uppers are still able to fight on even footing despite being completely composed of normal humans.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: A massive number of cards do this, as female characters (that aren't [[Gonk]]) invoke more [[Fan Service]] the more they level up (another good reason to evolve them).

* [[Battle Butler]]: Jeeves of the Uppers and Glorg the [[All Trolls Are Different|troll]] of Nightmare.

Line 21:

* [[Bishonen]]: Dan of the All Stars.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: The Leader cards each have a unique ability that none of the other cards have that cannot be canceled. ...Unless another is on the same team.

** In game, a few cards qualify for this; namely Milton of Skeelz (whose strength increases along with his intelligence, making him into an overmuscled giant.)

* [[Blood Knight]]: The Fang Pi Clang is full of these. Even more with the Berzerk clan.

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Stanford and Nellie of the Uppers.

Line 35:

* [[Cleanup Crew]]: GHEIST's Methane is a one-man cleaner. Running into him means one of two things: You're dead, or you're about to be. Strynge, the actual GHEIST HQ janitor, isn't exactly a slouch himself.

* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Archie of the Junkz clan, Archibald of La Junta.

* [[Commissar Cap]]: Vansaar could almost pass out as a [[Warhammer ~~40000~~|Commissar]].

* [[Commissar Cap]]: Vansaar could almost pass out as a [[Warhammer 40,000|Commissar]].

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Zlatar leader of the Uppers.

* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: Kati of the Fang Pi Clang. Her cards all feature her dressed as a different fighting game character.

Line 61:

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Ghoub of the Rescue. [[Berserk Button|Except if you try and take his sandwich...]]

* [[Godiva Hair]]: Lulabee from the Ulu Watu clan.

* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]: This is the angle behind the All Stars gang, each member of whom is a fighter who uses skills from their specific sport to beat ass like a pro. While the standard hockey (Alexei), football (Randy), soccer (Striker), baseball (Lamarr), rugby (Loma Noju) and basketball (Mikki) types are present, more esoteric examples include Bhudd, the zen martial arts master and ace bowler; Dan, ping pong expert and channeller of dark forces; and Robb, a legendary champion at darts who uses his flinging skills as a guerilla.

* [[Hate Plague]]: The Xantiax gas that created the Berzerk clan instills "a fury that can only be appeased by intense fighting" in its victims. [[World Gone Mad|Fortunately, this works out perfectly fine in Clint City.]]

* [[Haunted Castle]]: Nightmare Manor

Line 71:

* [[An Ice Person]]: The Frozn are a whole ''clan'' of ice people.

* [[Kaiju]]: The monster Kolos is a [[Godzilla]] [[Expy]] that rampages through the city in one of the comics. He's a bit of a [[Game Breaker]] in actual play as well, though not nearly so much as he appeared in the [[Gameplay Story Segregation|comic]].

* [[Knight Templar]]: The Sentinels goal is to bring law and order in Clint City, even if it means burning it down, and paint it in blood.

* [[La Résistance]]: La Junta. ''Almost'' a namedrop.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Numerous, most notably Piotr of the Freaks, who uses weapons made from Balloons.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: While you get the odd literal example (someone versed in both the culinary and murderlating arts), Spycee of the Piranas, while distressingly talented with a knife, lacks the ability to make... food that doesn't kill or poison people. Deadeye lost an eye and an arm when he had two servings of Spycee's surprise omelets.

** And a leg! it's shown on the full artwork

Line 103:

* [[Perky Goth]]: Dreen of the Junkz, who later becomes perky in more way then one.

* [[A Pirate 400 Years Too Late]]: The entire Piranha clan

* [[Pirate Girl]]: The Piranas clan is full of half-dressed pirate babes.

* [[Pirates]]: The Piranas gang is made up of these, and they hit every pirate cliche in the book.

* [[Put on a Bus]]: A good sign to know when this happens to a character is when their card becomes a collector's edition (Cr).

Line 132:

* [[Straw Feminist]]: The Pussycats clan swings between this and [[Stripperific]], though to be fair most of the clans are pretty all over the place in their philosophy.

* [[Super-Hero School]]: The Skeelz clan is based on this, with a majority of its members being odd superbeings.

* [[Supernatural Martial Arts]]: The Fang Pi clan is this, as well as being a parody of things like [[Dragon Ball]] and [[Street Fighter]].

* [[Surfer Dude]]: The Ulu Watu clan is filled with these. The other half are [[Valley Girl]].

* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Rhed (Piranas). She later gives up on the disguise.

Line 140:

** In game its common for players to use all of their remaining pillz when finishing off the last card of their opponent. Especially when the opponent only has one pill left.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Dayton and Coby of Sentinel, as of the comic adaptation.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: 1% the game is getting enough XP to make your card do this

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: 1% the game is getting enough XP to make your card do this

* [[Tournament Play]]: Being an MMO, it has tournaments constantly. Every other hour is a tournament.

* [[Tunnel King]]: Leo of the Junta used to hunt giant moles, then became a zombie hunter; both professions thankfully involve his phenomenal digging ability and using his shovel directly as a weapon

Line 148:

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Being a surfer based clan, half the men of Ulu Watu.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: The clans not composed of hedonists, criminals, or psychopaths, are this trope. Naturally, many of these good intentions don't always mesh.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: Kimberly of the All Stars, who [[Took a Level In Badass|quits cheerleading for bodybuilding]] so she could find ex-boyfriend Chad (who left her to join Ulu Watu) and smash his head the next time she sees him.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: Kimberly of the All Stars, who [[Took a Level in Badass|quits cheerleading for bodybuilding]] so she could find ex-boyfriend Chad (who left her to join Ulu Watu) and smash his head the next time she sees him.

* [[World of Badass]]: By virtue of being locked in a war between 22 factions comprised of people ranging from [[Badass Normal]] to [[Cursed with Awesome]] to [[Kaiju]]. Unfortunately, this also has the effect of making the city a...

* [[Wretched Hive]]: Clint City. There's a police force, but they're even in terms of power and influence with the mob, the surf bums, and the denizens of the city zoo.
