History VideoGame / Schwarzerblitz

* GuestFighter: Sir Rattlebone from ''VideoGame/DuelsOfFortune'' is playable as a guest character. Conversely, Mystery Johnson is playable in ''Duels of Fortune'' too.

** man-eating lamppost. Fortunately, they are just a UrbanLegend. [[spoiler:Or are they?]].
** the talkng flowers and, in particular, [[spoiler:the Rekashiza that emerges in Shard towards the end]].

* UrbanLegend: The Man with the Hat. Except, he's real.

* GoingCommando: Lejl is still forgetting to wear underwear at times, as [[Lampshade Hanging lampshaded]] by Shaz.

* ArcWords: ''Don't trust the man who speak with flowers''.

* BabiesEverAfter: implied in Mecha Elena's climatic battle dialogue.

''Schwarzerblitz'' ([[GratuitousGerman almost German]]: Black Lightning) is a 3D indie FightingGame inspired by [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade]] games from [[TheNineties the '90s]], like ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' or ''VideoGame/{{Virtua Fighter}}'', created by Andrea "Jens" Demetrio. WordOfGod says that the game is set in the same universe as {{Literature/Distortionverse}}, which is somewhat understandable since we are talking about the same author and there are some [[ContinuityNod recurring characters]] in both works.

** Jonhson's choice of clothing is probably a shout out to {{Film/The Mask}}.
** Johnson's 3rd outfit is aptly named [[{{Music/MichaelJackson}} Smooth Criminal]].

** Tiger's throw is called [[{{Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure}} Star Platinum Dance]].

** [[https://youtu.be/zaWW3U5itZA?t=1m19s Renzo's winning pose]] is reminescent of a certain [[{{Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure}} Johnatan Joestar]]'s. If it wasn't enough, three of his win quotes reference Yoshikage Kira (''"If you just wanted a quiet life, that was not a great start."'' / ''"Guess I should call an ambulance..."'' / ''"And, signore e signori... another one bites the dust!"'').
** Renzo seems to have become a living [[{{Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure}} Jojo reference]]: in [[https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/959207834557829123 his story chapter]] he has to remark that "German science is the best in the world"!
** One of Graf's win lines is ''[[{{Film/BladeRunner}} "... like tears... in rain."]]''. Additionally, one of his moves is called ''Batty Punisher''.

** When Krave is chasing Shaz on the train in the latter's story chapter, Krave starts talking like [[{{Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure}} Dio Brando]] (see [[https://youtu.be/3sxannycKy8?t=58s here]]).
** Also, one of his moves is called ''[[{{Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure}} Za Warudo ~ Road Roller Dab]]''. While he has no real road roller, he punches his grounded opponent repeatedly after striking a Jojo pose and yelling a ''WRYYYYYYY''-like scream. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Then, he dabs]].
** Krave is actually a fountain of references: his [[https://youtu.be/yK3BhiFpYTM?t=12m45s intro song lyrics]] in Cyphr's story chapter are a shout out to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn6WT3n3wSI&ab_channel=J.Sousa Mr. Perfect Cell introduction]] in {{Creator/Team Four Star}}'s {{WebVideo/Dragon Ball Z Abridged}}, at least according to {{Word Of God}}.

** Browsing the game files, one can see that Shooting Star Aquarium is internally referenced as ''[[{{VisualNovel/SoundOfDrop}} Manten]]''. As the original aquarium from the visual novel, it is marketed as a dating place for couples.

* SunglassesAtNight: Evilobster. Partly [[{{JustifiedTrope}} justified]], since he mainly uses his antennas to orient himself - as pointed out in Johnson's story episode.

* ShowWithinAShow: in addition to the ever-present ''Eliphya'' and ''Puffi, the Happy Go-Lucky Drug Addicted Rabbit'', this collection adds ''Schwanzerblitz'', an InUniverse [[ParallelPornTitles porn parody]] of the events of the first game, ''Chronoslasherz 3090'', a pulp sci-fi movie, and ''[[{{WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic}} Magical Unicorn Friends]]'', a cartoon about - well - cute magical unicorns.

* {{Official Couple}}: several, as the game ends.

* {{Older Than They Look}}: Amy and Renzo.

* {{Parasol Of Pain}}: Kiyoko's umbrella qualifies for this.
* {{Raptor Attack}}: Wally Alba. He's ''literally'' a freakin' sentient raptor. [[{{NinjaPirateZombieRobot}} With a minigun]].

* {{Real Life Writes the Plot}}: [[https://twitter.com/AndreaDProjects/status/1078051139264958464 apparently]], the fact that some players did not recognize Cyphr as a girl became a minor plot point in-game.
* {{Ring Out}}: many stages have this option, including a LavaPit, a TraintopBattle, and the top of a skyscraper. This sometimes borders into the NoOneShouldSurviveThat territory.
* {{Robo Speak}}: as in the [[{{Literature/Distortionverse}} parent series]], each time Krave or Graf speak, their lines start with a ">" command line symbol.
* {{Robotic Psychopath}}: H-168 Krave. It goes without saying that he doubles as {{Killer Robot}}.

* ShamefulStrip: Cyphr is on the receieving hand on this after her first confrontation with Krave. Cue HeroicBSOD.
* {{Shark Man}}: Shaz Aliart, Blade Aural, and Feliz Harracido qualify for this.
* {{Shout Out}}: plenty of them!
** Johnson calls out Shaz's {{VideoGame/Super Mario}} Italian accent while speaking with him in the former's story chapter (see [[https://youtu.be/5713mYVKW6M?t=1m43s here]]).

* {{Sunglasses At Night}}: Evilobster. Partly [[{{JustifiedTrope}} justified]], since he mainly uses his antennas to orient himself - as pointed out in Johnson's story episode.
* {{Survivors Guilt}}: apparently, Tiger suffers from this ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3PgbF97BFk as seen in his story episode]]).

* {{The Unintelligible}}: SBLAGALAGALAGALASH! [-(Evilobster's "speech" pattern)-]. Not even his colleagues from the [[{{Generic Ethnic Crime Gang}} Fishface Crime Syndicate]] understand him.
* {{Unresolved Sexual Tension}}: mixed with LesYay and FoeRomanceSubtext. Cyphr and Lejl share several ambiguous moments, with Tiger remarking how likely is that at least one of the two has a crush on the other, if not both.

* {{Stripperific}}: Amy's first outfit qualifies, showing both {{Underboobs}} and {{Sideboob}}s and coupling with {{Bare Your Midriff}}. Some characters comment on it in-game.

* BareYourMidriff: Amy, in at least two different outfits.

* AThreesomeIsHot: [[spoiler:Cyphr, Lejl and Chai]] share one right before the even of ''Tales from the Night - Sharing Nightmares''

* PreMortemOneLiner: "Sayonara, motherfucker. And take my greetings to Lejarme."
* ShowWithinAShow: ''Elihpya'' makes a return from the base game and {{Literature/Distortionverse}}, but this collection ups the ante by introducing the adult cartoon ''Puffi, the Happy-Go-Lucky Drug Addicted Rabbit''

* TheBusCameBack: Veckert Rainer and EiN, two prominent characters in {{Literature/Distortionverse}} who were more or less PutOnABus, come back with a bang in ''Tales from the Night - His Inflorescence''

[[https://gamejolt.com/games/schwarzerblitz/242456 The game]] is available for free on [=GameJolt=] or [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1287800/Schwarzerblitz/ Steam]]. And you can join the [[https://discord.gg/7rN5Szn Discord Server]] for more discussion on the game. The game is completely in English.

!!This game provides examples of:

* {{Weapon of Choice}}: Kiyoko's [[{{ParasolOfPain}} umbrella]], Kaya's sword, Wally's [[{{BFG}} minigun]].

* AbsoluteCleavage: Cyphr, in her 2nd costume.

* {{Nice Hat}}: Johnson is really fond of his own fedora.

* {{Kitsune}}: Kiyoko and Kaya.

* {{You Gotta Have Blue Hair}}: Kiyoko and Jenn have respectively electric blue and purple hair. Jenn's hair colour, surprisingly, becomes a ChekhovsGun combined with a WrongGenreSavvy moment for a big reveal.
