Urban Rivals: Difference between revisions

 

Each group of cards represents one [[Gang of Hats|gang]] in the [[World Gone Mad]] that is Clint City. Only a tiny minority of these represent traditional [[Gang Bangers]], however. Playable groups range from the mob and the police to surfer dudes and martial artists to invading aliens and anthropomorphic inhabitants of the Clint City Zoo. This game is an absolute hive of [[Captain Ersatz]], with many characters being obvious pastiches of famous actors or characters.

* [[Alien Invasion]]: Played straight, subverted, and plain played with with the Sakrohm. Some of the aliens are invaders, some are diplomats which just happen to be carnivorous.

* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Natrang of the Fang Pi Clang.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Copper's aunt Martha, who had only appeared in the comic adaptation, is now a member of Sentinel.

* [[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]].

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Kenny of Nightmare

* [[Funny Animal]]: The entire Jungo clan.

* [[Game Breaker]]: A good way to tell if a card fits this is if they're permanently banned in ELO.

* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Badassery displayed in the official comics or implied by a character's bio paragraph do not always translate into useful card stats...

* [[The Mole]]: Eloxia is highly implied to be this for Vortex.

** Carlos for the Sentinels who infiltrates the Montana clan.

* [[Naughty Nurse Outfit]]: A few in Rescue, Alice of the Pussycats, and a [[Nightmare Fuel]] version in Gheist's Dolly.

* [[Nebulous Evil Organization]]: The Gheist clan. They dabble in genetic manipulation, among other things, but don't seem to have a clear purpose. Nightmare is a more magical version of this.

* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: The Roots clan is all over this trope.

* [[Nerd]]: Nobrocybix

* [[Obvious Rule Patch]]: A number of cards are banned from certain types of tournament, and players can vote for which cards this happens to.

** Notable, however, in that the designers refuse to change the rules at all or alter existing cards in any way.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: BB Cool G of the Bangers as a result of reciting cursed lyrics.

* [[Ridiculously Human Robots]]: Nobrodroid and {{spoiler|Haze}} of the Junks.

* [[Scary Black Man]]: Though there are a few who are quite mellow, and some that are of an entirely different ethnicity altogether, most of the Bangers fall under this trope.

* [[She Is All Grown Up]] - Nellie from the Uppers, as her evolutions follow her growth. She starts as a rather ugly child, but at the end of her evolution she is a stunning young adult.

* [[Spoiled Brat]] - Nellie from the Uppers.

* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Isatis goes a bit like this in level 4, but she still looks like a soldier.

* [[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.

* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Jackie of the Uppers.

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

* [[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...
