Okay, here we go. I'm just gonna post Smash here, but if anyone's really interested I could make a whole page listing all my characters and things. OR I could just have a page in the character's own namespace with all the tropes listed. That'd be interesting.


 * Smash_side.png

Smash The Echidna

A Taste of Power: in SpTH, he temporarily joins your party for a single fight during the attack on Greenflower City. While the initial reason was because Splice wanted to help him, Smash literally starts out around 10 levels higher than he does, making the fight rather one-sided as he can tear the mini-boss down in at least three turns. He leaves the party and doesn't rejoin until much later.

Bad**s: It truly takes one to do everything that he's done.


 * Going to a haunted island that nobody's ever returned from and returning twice.


 * Taking out a secret organization creating mutants out of the citizens of Greenflower City with only a handful of friends.


 * Defeating a crazy spirit and saving two parallel dimensions from merging.


 * Being chosen to enter a galactic fighting tournament in space and determined to win even after he realized that he was possibly the weakest fighter in the building--and using that knowledge to fuel his determination which eventually lead to his mastering of High Tension. As far as anyone knows, he made it to the semi-finals, which is already impressive enough.


 * Rounding up a ragtag bunch of misfits into a small army which he helped to lead  against an impossibly huge army and a band of frighteningly powerful villains on a dimensional conquest and coming out victorious.

Bad**s Arm Fold: Though it's more often than not used when he's witnessing something stupid or if he's thinking about something serious.
 * And finally, Killing demons and otherworldly creatures using his bare hands, along with punching a ghost across a room (in the Cosmic Championship).

Bad**s Biker: Because why not?

Bad**s Boast: Memories of David The Echidna. Smash was threatening a thug behind bars for information on the missing policeman, Henry. Smash: "I don't need tricks to get by these." Bad**s Normal: Basically, Nearly Everyone around him has a power of some sort. Speedy has fire powers, Splice has Fire AND Ice powers, Thunder's family has lightning powers while Thunder himself also has wind powers. Even Crystal has something that she draws power from. And Smash has run into several other characters who have many unique powers that they rely on. The only bit of power Smash has is his own energy and willpower. He is forced to have short ranged combat because he doesn't have any weapons or special powers. He is basically like a normal person, but with the strength and will that would match--or even surpass everyone else's. Being a professional fighter adds onto this as well.
 * Jake: "Too bad I've already tried all the tricks in the book; those bars'll hold anything back."


 * Empowered Bad**s Normal: The one thing that draws the line between him and completely normal is the fact that he has learned to utilize his own energy to create a less powerful Super Form. Running purely on his own energy, he can easily tire himself out, but his overall abilities increase greatly.

Battle Cry: Smash's "Urrghii!". It pretty much became a Memetic Mutation over time.

Good Old Fisticuffs

Big Brother Instinct: When it comes to Pearl, Smash is very protective. He grew up half of his life on his own with her, and so he raised her himself. He treated her like the only family he's had left. Smash has recently shown this sort of kindness to his other friends in need, especially in "The Secret of the Mutants". Since then, he's considered his entire group of friends a part of his family. Incidentally, They're all younger than him.

Big Brother Mentor: With Speedy, and somewhat with Pearl, but it's a lot more obvious with Speedy.

Big Damn Heroes: During "The Secret of the Mutants", Hyper was kidnapped by the organization and was to be used as their test subject. Smash, not happy with them breaking into his house and kidnapping one of his friends, AND being drugged to sleep in late so they wouldn't get in their way, (they woke up at 4:00 in the afternoon, when they went to bed early that night.) He went and lead his team to bust in and save him.
 * Smash: "Break into My house and kidnap MY friends, will they? That's it. We're busting in there, I don't care about sneaking around anymore. We are gonna beat the freaking crap outta them and get Hyper back!"

Blue Eyes

Bring It: He always lets his opponent go first.

BrotherSister Team: With Pearl.

Captain Crash: Which is why he's actually afraid of being behind the wheel of any kind of aircraft. Luckily he knows better than to go near one.

Cast From Hit Points: High Tension drains his HP in SpTH, because he hadn't fully mastered using it then. In turn, his SP stays unaffected, so he can use as many powerful skills as he is able.

Chronic Hero Syndrome: It may not seem like it at first glance, but he's really got it bad. Even Luna pointed it out in MoDTE, when she told him that he pushes himself too hard to take care of everyone.

Cool Bike: It's cool, and he knows it.

Deadpan Snarker


 * Only Sane Man

Fights Like A Normal / Willfully Weak: At this point, Smash is quite capable of overpowering just about any opponent he fights at the Blitz Pit, (sans certain newcomers at the World Tournament) and most other people he's encountered due to his mastering of High Tension. That and Skull Cracker got it's name for a reason. However, he never goes all out unless he feels it's necessary. High Tension is generally used as a finisher at the end of his battles, if at all. And if he ever even uses Skull Cracker, it's aimed at everywhere but the skull, just to spare their lives. He doesn't just hold back because he wants to enjoy a fair, long fight, but rather it's a strategy to make sure that he conserves enough energy to be able to back himself up when the opponent decides to show that they're not left-handed either.
 * Which is why Smash was so unimpressed by Metal Smash's performance in A Meteor Story and in his debuting talkplay. His metallic copy went straight into High Tension and started burning up all it's energy in using skills like Spirit Blast, and missed with just about every attack.
