* {{Expy}}: The contrast between the masculine-looking Dauntless and its female pilot can be seen as a reference to ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}'' and Noriko, although his color palette more closely resembles Dix-Neuf from ''Anime/{{Diebuster}}'', a [[JapaneseDelinquents bancho]]-looking mech which also had a contrastingly feminine pilot and is itself a homage to Gunbuster. The rough concept behind Dauntless' fighting style can be traced back to ''Anime/{{G Gundam}}'''s Chibodee and his Gundam Maxter, and gameplay-wise it has its roots in Capcom boxers such as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Balrog]] AKA M.Bison and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Dudley]]. Boxer in particular is a recommended character for beginners, just like Dauntless.
