Allusions

• Black Dahlia names a few alcoholic drinks when using Order Up depending on the type of grenade she uses (Screwdriver, Old-Fashioned, Hot Toddy) and makes several other drink-related references ("On the rocks!")
• "Shaken, not stirred." is a reference to James Bond.
• "Shoot the moon!" and "Cat's Cradle!" are both actual yo-yo tricks.
• "Enough talk. Have at you!" is a reference to Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night right down to throwing her glass at her opponent like Dracula does to Richter Belmont.
• "Sound, fury, and nothing..." is a reference to Shakespeare's Macbeth.
• "Mind if i cut in?" while tagging out Eliza is a reference to Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
• The way Dahlia sometimes pronounces "Predictable!" could be a reference to Geese Howard's infamous "PREDICTABO!" from the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series.
• "Impressive!" is a reference to Quake 3 Arena when a player achieves two consecutive hits with the Railgun, a weapon that is very damaging, but can also be very hard to hit a moving target consistently. Also a gameplay easter egg as Dahlia only says this when she hits two Rail Shots in a row.
• "Just Kidding!" is a reference to Xianghua from the Soulcalibur series, who Wendee Lee also voices.
