Line 4:
* [[Cult Classic]]: The anime still has a decent following.
* [[Ear Worm]]: You '''cannot''' un-hear these tunes. Don't bother; [[Resistance Is Futile]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Alastor, just for the ''sheer'' amount of ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' [[Shout
** Also Sprocket from the anime, [[Absolute Cleavage|for a couple of big reasons]] if ya catch my drift.
* [[First Installment Wins]]: While the sequels made successful sells and good reviews, everybody usually says the original is the best.
Line 11:
** Zooming in turns Joe's punches into the Red Hot One Hundred, a speedy flurry of punches. Slowing that makes each rapid fire punch ridiculously strong, without the downside of them being, well, slow. The slowed RHOH is, without hyperbole, Joe's best move for hurting bosses; it can eliminate recurring miniboss the Joker in seconds. Sylvia gets a shoulder hit instead of that, making her sadly less powerful than Joe.
*** Unless she's fighting bosses that don't take the RHOH well in the second game, as she gets the Replay, allowing her to triple the damage of any single attack. Slow, Cool Blue Kick, then Zoom In for just as much damage in a single shot.
** Red-Hot Kick, full stop. You might be surprised that, for an homage to the [[Kamen Rider|Rider Kick]], it's not that powerful -- not so fast bucko. Use Slow-Mo and perform the Red-Hot Kick, then activate VFX Zoom. It turns Joe's attack from a simple diving kick into a ''spinning drill kick as he's covered by flames in the shape of a dragon head''. The Dragon Kick takes huge chunks off most bosses' HP, even ''stunning'' Another Joe and Alastor, and can take off almost a ''full bar of health'' from Fire Leo<ref>Use Mach Speed to build yourself up to Red Hot mode, get to Fire Leo and hit him with a Dragon Kick to destroy his fire barrier.</ref>. It also, if you're lucky, can hit enemies twice - including, once again, ''Fire Leo''. Fighting fire with fire, anyone? Even better, the dragon kick is a fire-based attack itself, allowing Joe to completely bypass the puzzle portion of, once again, Fire Leo's fight.
** Zoomed in and Slowed down, the final hit of Dante's normal combo in the first game can ''[[One-Hit Kill|one-shot]]'' '''''[[That One Boss|Fire Leo]]'''''.
* [[Goddamned Boss]]: In the [[Boss Rush]] rematch, Charles has 4 times as much health as the first battle. Dealing damage to him, however, is tedious and drawn-out, especially since you start the rematch with a level 1 VFX gauge.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Memetic Sex God|Memetic Sex Goddess]]: Silvia, Sprocket, and Trish.
* [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]]: Joe's speech after finding out that {{spoiler|Captain Blue was the villain.}}
{{quote|
{{spoiler|'''King Blue:''' "Go ahead. I WILL SNAP YOUR FOOLISH LITTLE IDEALS IN HALF!"}} }}
** Followed, of course, by a battle as Six Majin against {{spoiler|King Blue}} on the surface of the earth... and the planet is visibly round, indicating just how freaking big the two are. And after you do all that, you get treated to a duel against {{spoiler|the original Captain Blue, in his youth}}!
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: "DAAAAAVIDSON IS IN THE HOUSE!! HULK DAVIDSON IS BORN TO BE WIIIIIIIILD!! Hehehe..."
** "WARNING! WARNING! A BOMB HAS BEEN ARMED! WARNING! WARNING! A BOMB HAS BEEN ARMED! WARNING! WARNING! A BOMB HAS BEEN ARMED!..." and this goes on for a good portion of the level, too...
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: "FINISH!" (''cue boss' [[Famous Last Words|defeat dialogue]]'')
** "READY? ACTION! (''snap'') "JUST GO FOR IT!"
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
** Just regular Fire Leo? Try Fire Leo on Ultra-V mode when he uses his spinning attack. With no skull markers to tell you whether he's going to attack high or low, you have to go by audio cues with only subtle differences between them.
** Though oddly enough, Leo's frost-themed [[Expy]] in the second game is much easier to beat.
** Also Gran Bruce, to some extent: his (hard-to-dodge) bite attack lasts forever until you break free, which can potentially kill you, even at full health. Mashing buttons or the D-pad will do you no good; only the ''left analog stick'', in a game where the D-pad is encouraged, will let you escape ([[
**
▲*** He's '''infinitely''' worse the second time around, even if you '''do''' know what you're doing.
** Charles the 3rd the second time you fight him is an ''absolute nightmare'', and it doesn't help that he's significantly stronger and faster than before.
** No Another Joe? He runs away from you and spams unblockable clones at you. Even if you catch him, you can only land a few punches before he runs away. The second fight with him is one of the hardest bosses in the game, [[It Got Worse|until you defeat him and meet with Fire Leo.]]
* [[Villain Decay]]: In the anime, it was obvious that Hulk Davidson, Gran Bruce, and Charles the 3rd would go down easy... But you'd never expect ''[[That One Boss|Fire friggin' Leo]]'' to go down in his first appearance, humiliatingly, even!
