Character »
A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
A character in a game who uses unorthodox moves, and who likes to play 'practical jokes' on opponents. This makes losing to him/her all the more humiliating.
It's all in the family.
This concept involves a character of the hero archetype that at some point in the storyline, turns against the forces of good and becomes evil or is revealed to have done this in secret at some point in the past.
A combo that can be extended indefinitely. They are often unintentional inclusions in the game, though they undeniably shape the games for better or worse
Whether it be a close up shotgun blast, far away sniper rifle, explosive, or backstab, the "one hit kill" is a popular kill strategy. Usually hard to master and even harder to avoid, the instant kill is loved and hated by gamers everywhere.
A Puppet Fighter is a character type from Fighting Games who has the ability to actively control two separate persons or entities simultaneously.
The game uses a Faux puppet mechanic such as dangling limbs and floating as if held on strings.
A tragic hero is a protagonist who makes several mistakes to fall from glory, or is affected by tragedy and seeks revenge or redemption.
Characters whose ages have never been revealed in a game or officially by the creators. This may be due to an added sense of mystery, to avoid controversy, or just lazy character development.
