Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Die for Our Ship / Ship-to-Ship Combat: If there's a discussion about Ulala x Purge and Ulala x Jaguar, things aren't going to be pretty, needless to say...
Distracted by the Sexy: Whether it be Ulala, Pine, Purge or Shadow, you may get distracted by the characters' dance moves.
Draco in Leather Pants: Purge does have a sad backstory, but fangirls take this to a whole different level. Remember fans: Purge does not comprehend love.
Fashion Victim Villain: Purge, Purge... what in the world is with that sleeveless purple disco suit?!
There's actually a reason for this. The disco suit is made out of purple mirrors. Depending on what version you're playing, it'll tell you that his suit was designed to confuse or BLIND his opponents.
It's Short, So It Sucks: Some complaints...at least until you realize this is actually quite hard! Not to mention, some magazines mentioned that you could beat both games in one afternoon...but didn't complain about the length.
Part one had some of this considering you can literally play the game for an hour and beat it. However, there is an extra stage that's even harder.
First time you hear "shoot" from the enemies in report 1 of Part 1, it sounds like "tits".
Or "Kiss".
In report 4 of Part 2, when cheerleaders say "right", it sounds like "left". During the battle with Purge in the same report, you can hear a lot of "Damn!".
A lot of lines can be like this because the voices are too quiet to hear.
Needs More Love: Stop teasing us Sega, and give us a third game already!
Missed Moment of Awesome: Look on playthroughs of this on YouTube and check the comments. older comments will ask why Sega didn't make a Wii version; more recent comments will have also expanded it to include the PlayStation 3 Move and the Xbox Kinect. (Though most often the Kinect; because a Space Channel 5 Mini-game was released on the Sega-Superstar game for the Eyetoy.)
Nightmare Fuel: Blank TV. Yes, that's his BODY twisting like that in the monitor.
A very slight case. The rhythm is slightly "off" in the PS2 version of the game, especially compared to the original Dreamcast game. A skilled player can adjust to it, but it is definitely noticeable enough to cause problems and has been commented on by a number of players.
Then, there is the Game Boy Advance version.
Don't forget the PC version of Part 2, the timing would sometimes go off for no reason, the game crashes at certain parts (Such as Report 4) when the voices are set in Japanese and the Japanese cutscenes are missing.
That One Boss: Evila, Giant Evila and Purge the King have made many people toss their controllers.
The latter two because you have to quite literally do the opposite of what they tell you to do. And when you're so used to doing exactly what they say...you can see why people recommend holding the controller upside down. Purge the King also only gives you three chances to screw up!
Blank TV can also be irritating at times, seeing as he has no exact rhythm. Also, if you screw up, he makes it EVEN HARDER. And you don't have many hearts to screw up with this boss.
The first part of the second level in Part one. You have to rescue the space captain and the other staff members; which gets pretty hard when they send some fast commands at you. (Players recommend that, unless your thumb goes fast enough across the D-Pad, you use your two fingers)
For that matter, any level where you have to either get delayed commands ("Up.....up hey!") or where they send a ton of commands at you. (There is one part in stage 4 in Part 2 where you have twenty two commands to repeat!)
Woolseyism: Ulala's name is a localization of Urara (See Meaningful Name), which is a common Japanese name. However, the pronounciation turns it into a pun, since they prounce it as "Ooh-la-la".
