Urban Rivals: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

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.

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.

Line 23:

** 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.

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

* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: It costs money to buy "credits", which can be used to buy booster packs. However, individual cards are traded for "clintz", an in-game currency that can be won in battles or earned through selling cards. All in all, the game can be played without spending a single cent, but dishing out cash gets you cards faster. After all, this ''is'' a [[Collectible Card Game]]

** And you can now buy clintz with your credits.

Line 58:

* [[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...

* [[Gang Bangers]]: The whole game is about gang wars, but the appropriately named Bangers clan fits the trope the best.

* [[Gang-Bangers]]: The whole game is about gang wars, but the appropriately named Bangers clan fits the trope the best.

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

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

Line 110:

* [[Rolling Pin of Doom]]: Filomena. It helps that it's as big around as a mid-sized tree.

* [[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.

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

* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]: Dr. Gheist and Mini Mund both have right hand ''birds''.

* [[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.

* [[Shout Out]]: This game lives and breathes these. A majority of the characters are shout outs.

* [[Shout-Out]]: This game lives and breathes these. A majority of the characters are shout outs.

** A few examples:

*** Sol Hona (Sakrohm): [[Star Wars|Han Solo]].

Line 131:

* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Ratanah and Narendra of Roots, due to a blood feud between their families that lasted for generations.

* [[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.

* [[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 [[Dragonball]] and [[Street Fighter]].

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