* CastFromHitPoints: In ''Bleed 2'', White can spend roughly a quarter of his health to supercharge himself, turning his next air dash into a strong charge attack. While it isn't quite strong enough to be worth the health cost on its own (even with White's ability to heal by absorbing bullets), it can boost the style meter a lot against bosses, which powers up White's arm cannon.
* CardCarryingVillain: Valentine strives to be this, as her goal is to becomes the Greatest Villain of All Time since she can't settle for being a simple convict. She arranges an entire army, complete with battleship, purely to prove herself as a great villain, which ultimately fails when Wryn foils her plans and humiliates her in battle.

She arranges an entire army, complete with battleship, purely to prove herself as a great villain, which ultimately fails when Wryn foils her plans and humiliates her in battle.



* HeroicMime: The Clawed Girl is completely mute just like she was in her home game (which had no dialogue). She has no quotes when she dies, and her conversation with The Rival in "Epilogue" is very one-sided.



* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Rival starts as this in the sequel, with Plucky the news anchor opening distrusting him even though he's helping Wryn this time. The public opinion turns around after [[DeathEqualsRedemption his Whale Core is shot down]] (he turns out to be fine), and [[spoiler:the end credits state that he's now considered the Greatest Hero of All Time alongside Wryn]].



** "The Launch" ends with a BossRush against four of the robo-heroes from the final level of the first game (Robo-Gubby, Robo-Gibby & Stu, Robo-White, and Robo-Bunny), who fight mostly the same as they originally did. Notably, Robo-Gubby doesn't split apart and instead borrows the absent Bubble Core's gimmick of producing spheres that explode into targeted bullets. Why doesn't Robo-Batalion appear? It's because they get a much different revamped fight as Anti-Battalion in the next stage.

Added DiffLines:

* MadeOfIndestructium: The Rival's Whale Core, his primary vehicle in the sequel, is a lot more durable than his other mechs. It gets riddled with bullets by Wryn when it first appears as a truck, but comes back to survive a battle with Valentine, and goes through a whole aerial assault in plane mode before being shot down by Rex Rocket's giant missiles... and it recovers from that in time to save Wryn from the falling Nemesis. It finally gets grounded when Wryn fights in in the final stage, though it descends offscreen and is never seen exploding like the other Cores. Lampshaded in the cast roll, where the Whale Core's {{Boss Subtitle|s}} is "Hard to Kill".


Added DiffLines:

* PuzzleBoss:
** For her fight in "The Highway" and her final phase in "The Showdown", Valentine covers herself in a psychokinetic shield that resists gunfire. The method of breaking the shield is different each time; in the former fight, you have to prevent Valentine's attacks from hitting the Whale Core so The Rival can hit the shield with its weaponry, and in the latter you have to [[spoiler:use the otherwise cosmetic taunt button to signal the audience to bombard her]]. You can also [[CuttingTheKnot use an especially powerful attack to break the shield yourself]], such as missiles or playable Valentine's laser.
** The Nemesis AI Pod is a ShieldedCoreBoss in its second phase, and in between attack volleys, it uses one of three attacks that can be turned against it to blow a hole in its shield for a while.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Valentine has hundreds of adoring fans who make up her army, and in "The Showdown", she can call upon them to help her fight [[spoiler:Unfortnunately for her, she abuses this trust a bit too much by using her audience as cannon fodder, and they eventually turn on her and help the player character win the fight.]]

2017. In this game, Valentine, a psychokinetic girl with aspirations of being the greatest villain of all time, is reigning terror across the world. Now, it's up to Wryn, the only hero the world has, to stop her.



* ActionGirl: Wryn and Bunny Rockette.

to:

* ActionGirl: Wryn and Bunny Rockette. Valentine and [[VideoGame/TheyBleedPixels The Clawed Girl]] in the second game.



** In the second game, the last two levels count. The sixth level is fighting [[BigBad Valentine]] over several phases, while the seventh has you fighting several mechs before coming face-to-face with [[NoNameGiven The Rival/That Blonde Guy]] once more.



** In the second game, the names of the bosses are only shown in the credits, along with the accompanying blurb.



* CharacterDevelopment: In a minor form, but significant. In earlier levels, Wryn will frequently talk about herself on death, insult the player frequently or telling them they need to practice. This is shown even more so after you defeat Gibby and Stu: she mentions that they both get the title of 5th Greatest Hero and hopes that she might get someone to share #1 Hero with someone one day. But, as you progress farther and complete the game, [[http://steamcommunity.com/app/239800/discussions/0/864973123954171191/ she actually gets more inclusive with death quotes, such as changing any previous mentions of "I" to "We"]]. [[spoiler: And while she can't exactly share the #1 title spot, she does at least give you the Best Player of All Time title.]]

** [[spoiler: Plucky, the news anchor in the second game, sort of. After beating story mode on very hard difficulty, you unlock him as a playable character. Playing through story mode with him will have Wryn replace him as the news anchor. After the first few levels, she tells [[MediumAwareness the player]] of her uncertainty of Plucky's heroic worth. Come the last few levels, she's cheering him on, and even gave him a new name: the Green Guardian.]]



** Subverted in the sequel, where there is a villain terrorizing the world, and it's up to Wryn to stop her.



* GadgeteerGenius: The Rival is implied to be this. Not only did he build all the Core mid-bosses in every level, but he created robot versions of all enemies and even bosses from the previous levels that show up in his level. Yes, he even made robot versions of the robot enemies. Don't think too hard about it.

Not to worry as she can arm herself to the teeth with an assortment of weapons at her disposal, and when things really gets crazy, she can also [[BulletTime slow time to a crawl]] when needed.

** AwesomeYetPractical: ...White. It's a weapon that comes with a character you unlock once you beat the game on Hard. Its power goes up along with the style gauge.

Once you reach rank A or S, it's a matter of ''seconds'' before bosses go down. Needless to say, the Very Hard difficulty and Arcade Mode become much more manageable afterwards.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Wryn.
Wryn's journey to be so is basically the whole plot of Bleed.
* LittleMissBadass: Again, Wryn.Yeah, you guessed it: Wryn. Honestly, if you haven't figured that out by now, you probably haven't really been paying attention to this page.


Added DiffLines:

* RoseHairedSweetie: As mentioned below in VillainProtagonist, Wryn has the hair and the personality to match it; maybe not the morality, but two out of three ain't bad.

* GadgeteerGenius: The Rival is implied to be this. Not only did he build all the Core midbosses in every level, but he created robot versions of all enemies and even bosses from the previous levels that show up in his level. Yes, he even made robot versions of the robot enemies. Don't think too hard about it.

** Played straight in Arcade Mode as you have to make it through the ''entire'' game in a single life. There are still no recovery items and your health doesn't refill between levels.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterDevelopment: In a minor form, but significant. In earlier levels, Wryn will frequently talk about herself on death, insult the player frequently or telling them they need to practice. This is shown even more so after you defeat Gibby and Stu: she mentions that they both get the title of 5th Greatest Hero and hopes that she might get someone to share #1 Hero with someone one day. But, as you progress farther and complete the game, [[http://steamcommunity.com/app/239800/discussions/0/864973123954171191/ she actually gets more inclusive with death quotes, such as changing any previous mentions of "I" to "We"]]. [[spoiler: And while she can't exactly share the #1 title spot, she does at least give you the Best Player of All Time title.]]

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Wryn loves ice cream sundaes.

to:

* TheRival: [[CaptainObvious The Rival]], but don't pretend that doesn't make him any less Wryn's enemy. Not only has he been [[spoiler: piloting the cores that attack Wryn at least once in every level, he also attempts to take all the credit for Wryn's kills (which works out in her favor, but still).]] Besides that, the death-specific quotes against him in his boss fight show it even more; while Wryn makes joking comments about all the other bosses, Wryn makes it quite clear she wants the guy dead.
