Dive

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - Parody of Street Fighter's Yang

• Air Special Move - Terminal Velocity
• Ground Special Move - Parabolic Arc

One of two youths from West Philadelphia (born and raised) who are sent by their mother (Mama Kick nee Sensei) to move in with Uncle Sensei. Martial Arts is Dive's love but he often wonders if his father thinks he should become a doctor and put his academic mind to use. Instead Dive puts his thinking into the mind-games of Divekick, as evident by his catchphrase, "The limit is infinity!"

Dive's design (specifically the hair) and divekick is based on Street Fighter's Yang and serves the role of Divekick's Ryu.

As the name implies, Terminal Velocity sends Dive back down towards the ground very quickly, a useful fake-out tool and for correcting oneself if you've jumped into the opponent's divekick range.

Parabolic Arc is the only forwards jumping special move in the game, if you can save up enough Kick Factor meter for it.

Kick

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - Parody of Street Fighter's Yun and real Hollywood actor Will Smith

• Air Special Move - New Angle
• Ground Special Move - Party Starter

One of two youths from West Philadelphia (also born and raised) who move in with Uncle Sensei. Kick is very much influenced by the culture of West Philadelphia and can be seen dropping mics and warning his opponents to leave before getting molly wopped.

Kick's design (specifically the backwards cap) and divekick is based on Street Fighter's Yun and serves the role of Divekick's Ken Masters.

New Angle is a special divekick that Kick has been working on, it is much faster than a normal divekick.

Party Starter is an anti-close range special in which Kick will stomp on the ground, forcing anyone unlucky enough to be hit into the air where Kick can finish opponents off.

Kung Pao

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A female parody of Mortal Kombat's Kung Lao

• Air Special Move - Dimension Break
• Ground Special Move - Crack Kick

The mysterious Kung Pao is a teleporting character from another dimension known as "Downworld." She is the leader of the resistance group fighting her step father Theodore Khan and his legion of palette swap ninjas.

Kung Pao's design and divekick is based on Mortal Kombat's Kung Lao, as seen in his Mortal Kombat 9 movelist.

Activating Dimension Break places a crack between dimensions (it can be kicked if you want to adjust its positioning).

Crack Kick utilizes the Dimension Break as seen in the Portal video games. The Crack Kick and Dimension Break combine to form the entry point and exit point, allowing Kung Pao to maneuver about the screen (and into the opponents) in ways only she can.

Mr. N

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A parody of real pro fighting game player turned pro League of Legends player Marn mixed with Street Fighter's Rufus

• Air Special Move - Marneto
• Ground Special Move - GTFO

Described as a horrible person who beats his dog and rigs the brackets, Mr. N is a trick character who uses tactics that are less than sportsmanlike to win. This is despite one of his win quotes which states, "Where do I see myself in 5 years? Being a millionaire from eSports!" He has a neck-pillow that prevents one concussion per match.

Mr. N's divekick is based on Rufus as seen in Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken. It is the fastest kick factor meter building divekick in the game.

Using Marneto, Mr. N channels his inner Magneto as seen in various Marvel vs. Capcom games by temporarily floating in the air, avoiding dangerous situations and using it to his advantage to set-up divekicks of his own.

Using GTFO, Mr. N channels his inner Dan Hibiki, running away from danger in the same manner of Dan's back-dash from Street Fighter IV.

Redacted

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - An actual anthropomorphic humanoid wolverine parody of Marvel Comic's Wolverine

• Air Special Move - Cornered Beast
• Ground Special Move - Feral Stance

Redacted is a mutated Canadian skunk bear and a mother of three. She often finds herself at odds with Uncle Sensei because she keeps stealing his cigars. Most of her audio are varying growls, but will quote Wolverine's "Unacceptable!" upon selecting her.

Her divekick is also based on Wolverine, connecting with it will bounce opponents off the ground and into the sky, a reference to Wolverine's strong divekick in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which ground bounces opponents in order for Wolverine to begin an extended combo.

Cornered Beast is a wall jump special move, similar to famous fighting game characters such as Chun-Li.

Feral Stance is a crouching special move, making Redacted the only character who can duck. This makes a temporary solution to her large size (commonly referred to as a hit-box in fighting games). Feral Stance is also unique as it is currently the only special move in the game which builds meter, albeit slowly.

Uncle Sensei

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - Dive and Kick's mentor who is the most famous Divekick world champion

• Air Special Move - Stance Dance
• Ground Special Move - Super Jump

Uncle Sensei is a multiple time Divekick champion and he wears boots on both his hands and feet (and a pair of slippers under the boots). His only defeat was to Mr. N when he rigged the brackets and he hasn't been seen at a tournament since. Currently spends his days training Dive and Kick and giving hints before matches like "Don't play this underwater." He currently resides in the New Angle Dojo, but he may or may not be a squatter.

Uncle Sensei is a multiple stance character and changes between the two stances (and divekicks) in mid-air using Stance Dance. In the standing stance he does a Superman, a slower, more horizontal moving divekick with the boots on his hands. In the handstand stance he does a faster, more vertical moving divekick in the form of Akuma's demon flip divekick with the boots on his feet.

Super Jump allows Uncle Sensei to reach his maximum height much quicker than normal, useful for either positioning or escaping.

Dr. Shoals

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A female parody of Doctor Doom

• Air Special Move - Death From Above
• Ground Special Move - Brilliant Escape

Dr. Shoals is the first person in history to contract the dreaded footdive disease on her face. To find a cure she becomes a professional divekicker using rocket boots in order to study divekicks and find a cure to footdive. She never stops writing notes.

Dr. Shoals design and divekick is based on Marvel Comics' Doctor Doom as seen in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. She also features an extra trajectory altering kick after pressing kick a second time while in the air.

Death From Above activates the rocket boots and Dr. Shoals will hover, allowing left and right movement with the dive and kick buttons. Death From Above can also cancel divekicks and allow Dr. Shoals to divekick again in mid-air.

Brilliant Escape activates the rocket boots as a replacement for her kickback which will fly her up-back into the air.

Jefailey

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A parody of the CEO tournament event organiser Alex Jebailey mixed with Mayor Mike Haggar.

• Air Special Move - Disqualification
• Ground Special Move - Timer Scam

Jefailey runs a community tournament all by himself, JEO (Jefailey Effort Orlando). Described as the Dan of Divekick, he thought the name of the game was dropkick (a wrestling move). The dropkick can also be charged (for up to five seconds) to get greater reach. When Jefailey activates Kick Factor, his dropkicks will automatically be charged instead of the usual Kick Factor bonuses.

When Jefailey wins a round, his ego inflates, resulting his head literally getting bigger, making him easier to score headshots against and lessening the force of gravity of him. At the peak of his jump, Jefailey does a chicken wing flap.

Disqualification is one of the tricks Jefailey learnt by running JEO, he literally spits out the words DISQUALIFIED like a fireball. If you're hit by the words, you lose all of your kick factor meter, which will also knock you out of kick factor.

With the other trick, Timer Scam, Jefailey takes time out to show off his bobble head figure to you, freezing the game in place for two seconds, but the time continues counting down.

The Baz

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A parody of both Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Zero and Taskmaster whose design is based on a rejected Street Fighter II character called Zubaz.

• Air Special Move - Mighty Swing
• Ground Special Move - The Shocker

The Baz is an unorthodox Divekick character, born on a mountain under a blood red moon, who's failure to join any fighting tournaments lead him to Divekick. He is currently under contract by the mafia who have him chasing down Mr. N for the loan money that he owes them.

His divekick has no effect on opponents. Rather the streaks of lightning (much like Zero's Raikousen - Lightning Bolt Flash) he leaves behind KO the enemies for him. The angle of the divekick itself is manually chosen by the player, pressing kick straight after dive results in a complete vertical divekick, while holding the kick button rotates The Baz to varying angles. The maximum is a 90 degrees angle, resulting in a complete Horizontal divekick.

At 3 seconds, The Baz has the shortest Kick Factor in the game. Like Jefailey he also doesn't get any traditional bonuses. Instead, for those 3 seconds The Baz emits electricity, knocking out any who touch him.

Using Mighty Swing, The Baz copies Taskmaster, who in turn is copying Spider-man. The Baz swings using his rope whip to kick enemies, making Mighty Swing the only move in which he can defeat an opponent (for a cost) by using an actual physical attack and headshot enemies. The longer dive and kick are held down for, the longer the Mighty Swing, resulting in longer loops. It can also be cancelled into more Mighty Swings and divekicks.

The Shocker is The Baz's ground special that, like his Kick Factor activation, serves as an unconventional means to KO an opponent. It is a defensive move that summons lightning from the sky. If the opponent attempts to divekick into The Baz while The Shocker is active he/she will be KOed, though The Baz is wide-open for attack during the move's start-up and at the end of it.

MarkMan

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A Parody of Mad Catz's Mark Julio mixed with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Phoenix Wright and Tekken's Kazuya Mishima.

• Air Special Move - Feignt / Up Kick
• Ground Special Move - Search / Up Kick

Entering Divekick tournaments utilising his kickbox invention, which improves divekicking precision, MarkMan hopes that by winning tournaments he will convince others to buy his product. But just incase that doesn't happen, MarkMan will try to talk you into buying it instead, much like a used car salesman. The interviewer who doesn't allow Mr. N to put his arm around her will allow MarkMan.

He has a more powerful, electric, just-frame (extreme precise timing, often 1/60th or 1 frame of a second) version of his Divekick. The just-frame in question is the exact maximum height of his jump. Much like Kazuya's EWGF (Electric Wind God Fist), Markman's EWGF (Electric Wind God Foot), features lightning effects and its user shouting "DORYA!"

In addition to diving and kicking during matches, MarkMan spends his time in search mode, in which he searches for kickbox parts to put together mid-match. He must find the box, the yellow button and the blue button as indicated by his extra kickbox UI next to his Kick Factor gauge (much like Phoenix Wright in UMvC3). Doing so, activates Upkick mode making MarkMan the only character with a shoryuken/dragon punch anti-air move.

In search mode, MarkMan's air special mode is the feignt, which allows to cancel dives and kicks into a down-back jump, very much like an opposite of each characters' kickbacks.

In Upkick mode, MarkMan's air special is the ability to cancel the downwards moving divekick, into the upwards moving upkick (which can be divekicked into upkick continuously until the precision mode's timer wears off).


In search mode MarkMan's ground special move is search. If MarkMan is unsuccessful in picking up either the kickbox, the yellow button or the blue button he will instead pick up one of five random throw-away items. Both the positive and negative effects of these items can affect MarkMan and his opponent. Items persist in rounds until it is activated, its stand-by time runs out or another item is thrown by MarkMan.

• Glue, which will stick opponents to the ground
• Oil slick, which will slide opponents along the ground
• A bottle of chemistry which will drain kick factor meter
• A spring (reminiscent of Rocket Raccoon's spring hyper combo in UMvC3) which will bounce characters half-way up the screen until they move away from it or lose
• A black hole, which has been used in many video games and TV shows over the years as teleporting devices. Characters who fall down the black hole will reappear falling from the sky

In upkick mode, the ground special move will have MarkMan will simply upkick, as Ryu and Ken would use Shoryuken / Dragon Punch as an anti-air move.

Stream

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - A parody of Street Fighter's Dhalsim and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Firebrand.

• Air Special Move - Flame Bait
• Ground Special Move - Spooby PLS

Stream is a table flipping monster in a straitjacket, who has lived its (genderless) life in a prison made entirely out of keyboards. Now he has broken out in order to troll people in person.

Based on the stream monster concept coined by tournament players, like EMP's EVO 2007 MvC2 Champion, Michael "IFC Yipes" Mendoza (of curleh mustache and mango sentinel fame). The term "stream monster" initially had more aggressive undertones towards "armchair fans." More recently "stream monster" has become more of a general pejorative, directed at purveyors of popular phrases and memes used in Twitch chats, such as "Call Spooky/Spooby pls ;_;" whenever any live-stream has unexpected downtime (based on Team Spooky's rise to popularity). Stream has an abundance of these references and isn't afraid to shout them out loud.

Stream has several unique traits. These include double jumps (he can't divekick until he has jumped twice), a constantly shifting head (making him difficult to headshot), and an adjustable divekick, based on Dhalsim's yoga spear, which can be altered by holding dive to twist him upwards and kick to twist him downwards.


MarkMan vs. Stream - Choke Detection
Stream's air special is Flame Bait, a fireball very much like Firebrand's Hell Spitfire which upon landing on the ground forms a carpet of fire. If Stream lands in the Flame Bait his legs set on fire which increases his hitbox size, allowing for easier divekicks against opponents. If the opponent lands in the Flame Bait the heat forces them to jump in the air.

Stream's ground special is Spooby PLS. When Spooby PLS is activated, Stream starts "buffering", making him invisible. Spooby PLS drains kick factor meter while active and lasts until all meter is drained.

S-Kill

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - The final boss of Divekick, a parody of former Capcom and Sony Santa Monica employee and EVO champion and commentator, Seth Killian, and the Street Fighter IV final boss who shares Killian's first name, Seth. (one hell of a sentence, dont cha' think? )

• Air Special Move - Trick
• Ground Special Move - Parry

S-Kill is the head of criminal organisation that plans on rebalancing the world and selling it off. During matches S-Kill will shout many of Seth Killian's known phrases (during EVO commentary) such as,"mental guard crush," and "what an answer!" S-Kill's hands are crossed during matches, paying homage to Killian's style of playing fighting games on fighting game arcade sticks.

Instead of dives and kickbacks, S-Kill teleports and can do so twice before kicking, both of which are based on Seth from SFIV.

With Trick, regardless of the opponent's position on the screen, S-Kill will teleport directly above them.

With Parry, S-Kill performs a Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike style parry, which will activate after a successful parry anywhere from S-Kill's waist to head (anywhere below the waist will result in S-Kill being divekicked). Parrying a divekick results in S-Kill teleporting behind the opponent at head height, leaving opponents without quick escapes (such as Redacted's Feral Stance or Uncle Sensei's Super Jump) vulnerable to almost certain divekick attempts. This is a reference to the infamous Daigo Parry moment at EVO 2004, of which Killian was the excited voice behind the camera.

Kenny

Spoiler (click to show)

Background - The top tier of pledges of the former Kickstarter campaign for Divekick was for two pledgers to create characters themselves which would become playable characters in the game. One of the two pledgers was Alex Jebailey, which lead to the creation of Jefailey. The other, was a pledger named Vincent who wished to immortalize his late brother in video game form. As with Jefailey, Iron Galaxy honored the two character creation pledges, and so Kenny was created.

• Air Special Move - Spirit Bullet (Homing)
• Ground Special Move - Spirit Bullet (Straight)

Kenny is a move copying character, based on the Random Character Selection often seen in fighting games (the real Kenny was a big fan of using random select to play all characters), who is playable in the style of random move-list characters such as Mokujin and Chameleon. Kenny died before his time but won 5 divekicking tournaments in Heaven so the god of Divekick, who's big blue foot can be seen casting judgement during red line draws, sent Kenny back for another chance at life.

During his time in Heaven, Kenny observed all the Divekick competitors and copied all their divekicks. Kenny switches between all the divekicks between rounds, but retains his own custom stance, so players will only know who Kenny is copying in any given round once the round has begun. If Kenny is copying characters with flying or rocket abilities like Stream or Dr. Shoals, Kenny can sprout angel wings to facilitate the role.

Kenny will adopt other Divekicker's jump speeds and gravity values, but not the height or width, Kenny will always be the shortest character in the game, regardless of who he is copying.

When Kenny copies a character he has access to their

• Dive
• Kick
• Kickback
• Personal Kick Factor abilities (Jefailey's auto-charge, The Baz's 3-second death touch)

When Kenny copies a character he doesn't have access to their

• Special moves (Which includes MarkMan's item throw or Dr. Shoals hover)
• Personal traits (Like Jefailey's head growing after winning a round and Uncle Sensei's handstand, meaning Kenny can only use one of the two divekicks)

Kenny's special moves are the Spirit Bullet which freezes opponents in place for one second if it connects. On the ground the Spirit Bullet fires straight forward no matter where the opponent is. In the air the Spirit Bullet homes in on the opponent.

Revealed in the March 2013 build was:

• A complete graphics and UI overhaul
• New designs for each characters, most notably Kung Pao and Dr. Shoals
• New win-poses, such as Kick "dropping the mic"
• New frames of animation, including defeated characters lying face-first on the ground after being divekicked from behind, idle stances and a dizzy animation for characters with concussions. Each character now has over 100 frames.
• Wolverine was renamed to Redacted
• The introduction of 2 special moves (1 ground, 1 air) per character
• Additions to the gem system, including the Style gem and Man-Mode gem

I, like I'm sure most of the Mugen contributors on this board, am finding myself with a strong urge to convert Dive and Kick to Mugen.

Edit:

damage = 1000000000

[anthonygamer]

This was awesome when it first appeared on the live stream. Good stuff. Ricky Ortiz would be proud.

[aokmaniac13]

Explain to me how this is a fighting game when compared to Rock Em Sock Em Robots

[Keku]

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots is a party game, it has no health bar, the competitive scene is silly, it-
Wait. Waaaiiiiiiit.

[Jmorphman]

Explain to me how this is a fighting game when compared to Rock Em Sock Em Robots

It does not yet have a movie adaptation starring Hugh Jackman.

do that and you will be my hero for the next 2-3 years 

[Person Man]

GOTY material, right here.

[walt]

Stance + Dive + Kick + get hit + floor bounce + lie dead ... 5 sprites total.

This should totally get commissioned to one of the expert spriters here.

[Titiln]

You guys are slow.

you didn't even post it when you first saw it mr. cool fucking guy. choke on a hundred ballsacs.

that was a funny video even if the powerthirst style is a bit overdone and someone definitely needs to mugenize dive and kick

[MellyInChains]

i like the little touch of dive basically looking like yang

[MooMaster]

You guys are slow.

you didn't even post it when you first saw it mr. cool fucking guy. choke on a hundred ballsacs.

Just cause I already seen the trailer for it on saturday, does NOT mean I had to make a topic about it.
So if you got a problem with it, well then that's just your problem, not mine.

[TempesT]

It also doesn't mean you get to say the equivalent of "OLD" just to let everyone know you've already seen it and people are slow for seeing it later than the date of upload . People who do that come off as gigantic tools.

[Titiln]

Just cause I already seen the trailer for it on saturday, does NOT mean I had to make a topic about it.

you didn't make a thread about it. don't complain about people posting it. wow you saw a thing before other people did i bet that makes girls unbelievably wet you god damn scumbag

[MooMaster]

It also doesn't mean you get to say the equivalent of "OLD" just to let everyone know you've already seen it and people are slow for seeing it later than the date of upload . People who do that come off as gigantic tools.

I had no clue "slow" was equal or equivalent to "old" but think whatever you want to think miss thang.

Just cause I already seen the trailer for it on saturday, does NOT mean I had to make a topic about it.

you didn't make a thread about it. don't complain about people posting it. wow you saw a thing before other people did i bet that makes girls unbelievably wet you god damn scumbag

All I said was "you guys are slow" and nowhere in my post shows that I was complaining because I was not. I was just simply saying. Never knew a little post like that could get peoples panties in a bunch. Is there any other lame insults you would like to throw my way?
