Even said counterparts have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts who have counterparts, etc.

** SitcomArchNemesis: Ice is this to Tox. Waffles, however, views it [[FoeYay in a different light]].

** Also refered to as [[WordOfGod Word Of Tox]] ever since Tox and his Writer became important parts of the continuity.
* XMeetsY: ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' meets ''Literature/BattleRoyale'' meets absolutely everything else that has ever existed, on crack.

* CoolGate: The [[Franchise/{{Ultima}} moongates]] in Mall Fight 2 and 7.

* LovecraftLite: Dark things lurk beneath the Mall...
** [[YourMom Including Tox' mom.]]

Mall Fight is a [[PlayByPostGames Forum Game]] originally from GameFAQs, then Website/TheEscapist, then on [[http://z13.invisionfree.com/Mall_Fight/index.php its own forum]] and then on Website/TheEscapist again.

It's filled from head to toe in [[PlotHole plot holes]], [[KudzuPlot hanging plots/subplots]], [[CallBack call backs]], [[ShoutOut shout outs]] and [[RunningGag gags]]. The "main" threads have ended, but there is currently a "spin-off" on the Website and The Escapist (There are at least 15 threads up to now if you count the two Mall Fights on the [[http://jrnetwork.net/ JR-Network]] and the thread(s?) on GameFAQs) and has a video game in the works [[VaporWare which is likely never to come out]]. Mall Fight 9 is in production with a lot of {{Retcon}} of the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness

** Also supposedly lost are the original Mall Fight threads on GameFAQs.

* PurposefullyOverpowered: Just about every villain, legendary item or spell refers to that notion.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Diamond to Waffles, but its not because he thinks she ugly, [[spoiler: its because she made him kill his parents]].
** [[spoiler: He overlooks it in Mall Fight 7.]]

* AbortedArc: This can happen when one writer sets up a plot point, but another writers do away with it because they dislike the element, or because they have a better idea.

* AbnormalAmmo: Goes right in hand with [[ImprovisedWeapon improvised weaponry]].
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The Mall's sewer system.

* AnyoneCanDie: Though the Fighters are mostly exempt due to the Respawn Matrix, many [=NPC=]s have died over the course of Mall Fight's history.
* ArcNumber: 6 and 114.

* AscendedExtra: Fighters who, when first appearing, are unimportant, but then become more prominent later on. Diablo fills this bill, only appearing on Mall Fight 3 as a random drunk ranting about the lack of VODKA but then becoming a recurring villain in 4 and on.
* AppliedPhlebotinum: By the truck load.

* ArtifactOfDoom: The Swords of the Grand House.
* ArtShift: The writing quality, compared to Mall Fight 2, has greatly increased.

* TheBechdelTest: ''Barely'' passes.
* [[BenevolentArchitecture Benevolent Respawn]]: You always respawn exactly where there are weapons.

* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: [[WordOfGod Word of Tox]] says that the Mall is infinite but with an edge. By that, he means that there is a central area and an edge while everything in-between is somehow infinite, which means that you could only reach the edge of the Mall through by-passing the infinite middle part.
** The same goes for the sub-basements. You can only reach the bottom through unconventional means or plot convenience.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Invoked by Nega Waffles.

* AerithAndBob: Tox, Waffles, Ran, Salt, Miniman, Paddy and Knife next to... Connor.
* AlternateUniverse: Three, as of right now: Knife's Mall Fight, Ran's Mall Fight, and Reboot Mall Fight (which is an divergent of Ran's Mall Fight). There is also Mall Fight Generations which is a several universe.
** Ran's Mall Fight, happening after Mall Fight 3 in an alternate reality where the entire universe blew up.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Randomness is their specialty.
* AnyoneCanDie: And they have.

* AlternateUniverse: Knife's Mall Fight.
