Line 30:
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: Though Alvin Earthworm, creator of ''[[Super Mario Bros Z]]'', was the first notable Flash Series creator to do it, VG Exiles: Episode 3 officially holds the title as the biggest Flash movie ever to be uploaded to Newgrounds.com, capping off with a whopping 39.6mb.
** According to CE-Rap, who it seems is now [[Word of God|Co-Captain]], the initial episode actually hit a total of 43.4mb. R1665 was told by Newgrounds.com admin, Tom Fulp,that 40mb was the current limit that could be given for a flash project on the website, which led to the episode's current file size after some chopping.
* [[BFG|BFG:]] Stryker played this straight in ''SHADOWLAWLESS'' in the very literal sense. He didn't just use a BFG, he used the ACTUAL BFG-9000 from the ''[[Doom (Video Gameseries)|DOOM]]'' series.
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: So far, Shang Tsung and M.Bison have both made appearances. It's fair to assume more will show up later.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: The Exiles are the good guys----no doubt. But under Johnny's leadership, they are the heroes that aren't heroes. They police Multiverse through whatever means necessary. They never take prisoners, go to great lengths to ensure non-Exile individuals NEVER learn of the existence of Multiverse, and are forbidden from interfering with events that are fixed moments in time----like the utter destruction of Stryker's entire homeworld. And since Johnny Cage sees sentient life through [[Hobbes Was Right|crap-colored glasses]], he has no remorse for his actions and those of his team. This almost always puts him at direct odds with the group. Nevertheless, even they have to admit, [[The Chessmaster|he kind of knows what he's doing.]] That----and [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|the Acolytes have it coming.]]
Line 69:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Although you wouldn't think it in episodes 0 and 1, reading the background information to episode 2 shows Johnny Cage is ''definitely'' one of these.
** He's shown to be one in the background info to Episode 1. This is the same man that got Jon Talbain to become an Exile, with the premise that he'd get to see his dead wife again. He wasn't lying. Jon DID get to see Felicia again----because there are trillions of Felicias through out Multiverse, and not ONE of them are like his dead wife.
* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: With characters from [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]], [[Street Fighter|Street Fighters]], [[Mortal Kombat]], [[Marvel]], and more this can't be helped.
* [[Mega Manning]]: Johnny Cage proves he can do this at the end of Episode 0.
* [[Meteor Move]]: M. Bison performs one against Stryker that sends him straight through the floor.
Line 81:
* [[Nipple-and-Dimed]]: Doubly Subverted during the shower scene of Episode 3. The all-encompassing steam blurs the picture, making the viewer unsure if the nipple is actually drawn in or just their imagination creating what they WANT to see.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Jon Talbain, who in this series is trapped in a permanent Lycanthropic state and can never revert to human form. [[The Woobie|It becomes a major source of his woes]].
* [[Posthumous Character|Posthumous Team]]: Most of the team, in typical [[Exiles (Comic Book)|Exiles]] tradition. Thankfully, however, their sacrifice was honored in a brief flashback in Episode 2, and [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Jon]] is still alive to avenge them. {{spoiler|Rest in peace, [[Street Fighter|Chun-Li]], [[Mortal Kombat|Sonya Blade]], [[Fatal Fury|Terry Bogard]], and [[Strider (Video Game)Hiryu|Strider Hiryu.]]}}
* [[Power Glow]]: So far, every single character that has been in a fight has displayed this at some point, even [[Badass Normal|Stryker]], albeit through [[Green Lantern Ring|one of his toys]].
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Cammy White, from the universe where Shadowlaw was a force for peace, making the world a better place. She has yet to reappear since the flashback/recording where she was seen sparring with Sonya Blade.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|Remy Boudreaux}}
* [[Red Herring Shirt]]: Appropriately, {{spoiler|Red-shirted Stryker}} in Episode 3.
Line 99:
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Mr. Stryker gets one in ''SHADOWLAWLESS,'' complete with a camera pan-up from his legs to his head. It's possible he'll be ''[[Mr. Fanservice|that guy.]]''
** Which would be fitting, considering his connection with ''[[Love Interest|Heart.]]''
* [[Shoryuken|Shoryuken:]] Performed by Ken Masters and Sakura appropriately.
* [[Shout-Out]]: largely to ''[[Exiles (Comic Book)|Exiles]]''
** ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' and ''[[Street Fighter]]'' are givens, as the series was also inspired by Proxicide's ''''MK vs. SF'''' Flash series.
Line 109:
*** Based on his style of amassing and utilizing weapons from across Multiverse, he will most assuredly have many more nods in future battles. If he gets any future battles.
** Episode 3 featured music from ''[[Salt]],'' a film in which Angelina Jolie plays a C.I.A. analyst accused of being a traitor that is working with terrorists. The theme song from this movie plays right at the moment ''"Heart"'' is accused of being a traitor that is working with terrorists.
** Anyone else get a sense of deja-vu from Episode 3's shower scene? A kind of...''[[Street Fighter II: theThe Animated Movie (Film)|Chun-Li'esque]]'' sense of deja vu? Well, that's probably because [[Word of God|CE-Rap]] stated it was an homage to that scene of the movie----even going as far as to include a shot that mirrored [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111024173929/animebaths/images/5/5f/SFII_3.jpg this one exactly.]
* [[Shower Scene]]: Oh...hell...yes.
* [[Supercop]]: Kurtis Stryker embodies this trope.
Line 120:
** This is also true of Felicia, his wife, who is killed by an angry mob before the series starts. Jon only agrees to be an Exile because Cage assured him that he'd get to see Felicia again.
*** FOR GODSAKES, [[The Woobie|SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG!]]
* [[The Multiverse]]: The series' multiverse seems to be comprised of worlds from multiple fighting-games, such as [[Street Fighter]] (referred to as 6013's), [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]], [[Capcom vs. Whatever]], [[Mortal Kombat]], and so on. As of Episode 3, elements from [[Doom]], [[Mass Effect]] and {{spoiler|[[Resident Evil]]}} can also be spotted.
* [[The Reveal]]: Jon approaches his nemesis in the end of Episode 1, [[Street Fighter|Remy]]. {{spoiler|But it's the wrong [[X -Men|one]].}}
** At the end of Episode 3, we learn that "Heart" is actually {{spoiler|Jill Valentine from ''[[Resident Evil]]''}}
* [[Unsportsmanlike Gloating]]: ''"Aww, look. You're outta continues..."''
