Signature Style	comment	Authors have styles. It's common and acceptable that, when people write often, they start to develop a distinct way of writing, or an arbitrary favouritism for one of their characters, places, or even a specific name. Some authors internalize a single style to such extent that it's noticeable in anything they happen to write, co-write, or in extreme cases, even inspire. There are extreme cases in which, without knowing who wrote the work you're watching/reading, you can say "Hey, it has to be [insert author name here]!", because their style is too distinct and famous not to recognize. Visual artists, and movie directors, have similar styles in not only their stories but the spectacle. Related to Author Appeal, Author Catchphrase.

For instance: The Nostalgia Critic: Lots of camera-mugging, high-voiced Large Ham moments, and running gags that only appear a few times before they're retired. Atop the Fourth Wall: A much lesser use of profanity and vulgarity than other reviewers; a tendency to hold Author Filibusters on social issues being brought up in the work. Bad Movie Beatdown: Very highly detailed synopses of the film's entire plot line, with a heavier-than-usual focus on the backstory and development.

Signature Style / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Each of the Looney Tunes directors have a highly individual style that make their cartoons easily distiguishable from each other while still remaining whithin the house style. Chuck Jones is a master of the Aside Glance and Oh, Crap! face, often shown in lingering pauses with little touches of movement (a twitch of the eye, a drooping ear) to break up the tension. His early films are more slower paced and Disneyesque than the studio's regular output, but his later films are known for their split-second timing, experimental background design, character-driven stories and liberal use of Black Comedy and Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists. He also has a fondness for cats. (Conrad Cat, Claude Cat, Pussyfoot, etc.) Friz Freleng loved to include song-and-dance routines in his cartoons. He also had a tendency to have violent action occur offscreen. Bob Clampett is known for his fast-paced, highly exaggerated action. His characters have a rubbery feel to them, even when standing still. Frank Tashlin uses fast-paced montages and dramatic angles in his cartoons, foreshadowing his later career as a live-action director. He also used highly stylized character designs and quite a bit of adult humour. Tex Avery introduced the basic elements of the overall Looney Tunes style - Breaking the Fourth Wall, Lampshading, outrageous sight gags, Wild Takes and fast timing - before leaving for MGM where he took them further still. Robert McKimson portrays his characters with small heads and small eyes, plays up their Jerkass tendencies, creates a fully-realized World of Ham, and used topical parody more than his cohorts. During his days as an animator for Jones, Avery and most notably Clampett, he was skilled at some of the most solid, technically-precise animation, along with some brilliant subtle acting the studio ever saw.

Signature Style / int_2ef7cb74	comment	Masaki Tsuzuki, the main (and only) writer behind the Lyrical Nanoha franchise, is very fond of a particular kind of Mood Dissonance: after setting up a massive tragic mood with somber opening monologues, mournful music, and pessimistic foreshadowing, he then proceeds to throw it out the window in favor of epic battles that eventually end up with (almost) no fatalities, no permanent injuries, no psychological traumas, but a ton of new friendships. He is also known for successfully alloying the masculine and the feminine in his characters, which results in a very ambiguous relationship dodecahedron between them.

Jokes that are set up within the beginning only to pay off RIDICULOUSLY later. As in 1200 Strips/10 Years. He lampshades this aspect in this blog post.

Ubisoft games tend to have vast, open-worlds with slowly unfolding map and clear, distinct regions, multiple hidden collectibles, few types of side-missions recycled across the map, blend of stealth and shooting that is open for both playstyles, crafting, straigthforward skill threes and missions involving moving targets that have to be either hijacked or destroyed.

Signature Style / int_474c18c1	comment	"There is always a lighthouse, there's always a man, there's always a city." Ken Levine games in a nutshell. He is also fond of the Genre Deconstruction of gameplay (Mission Control in System Shock 2 and ''BioShock) and political (utopianism, specifically objectivism and American exceptionalism) systems. The narrative is usually set up around a naive Player Character who is dropped in the middle of a Punk Punk setting during or after a cataclysmic event or conflict. The hybridization of FPS and RPG elements is also critical, as is the use of secondary powers such as Plasmids and Vigors. {Errant Signal} went a step further and suggested you can track a signature style of people connected to Looking Glass Studios and people influenced by them that can be seen across the games like System Shock and System Shock 2,Thief series, BioShock series, Deus Ex, Dishonored or Prey (2017). Their games tend to be darker story-heavy science fiction tales, happening in an idyllic, at first glance, full of secrets setting that has either been built on twisted principles or has recently been ravaged by a disaster. The story is driven by a deconstruction of an ideology taken to its extreme, or two ideologies opposite to each other with the protagonist as a balancing force in-between. They also tend to feature a twist that changes both how we think about the main villain and protagonist's actions up to this point.

She prefers Boke and Tsukkomi Routine humor with a pinch of Toilet Humor and/or perverted humor about panties and boobs. Her series are about having fun in school with your friends, and as such she doesn't like portraying adults or situations which are entirely non-school-related.

Many of their games feature cartoon animals such as Banjo, Donkey Kong and Conker, as well as sentient inanimate objects such as a talking toilet in Banjo-Tooie, the pinatas in Viva PiÃ±ata, and least we forget The Great Mighty Poo of Conker's Bad Fur Day fame. Also expect most of the characters to have giant Sphere Eyes. Another trait of Rareware's games is that they're generally quite comedic, so the colorful cartoony style suits their games well.

Mystery Incorporated slightly deviates from this as a blend between Wyatt's artstyle and the usual Scooby-Doo artstyle.

Signature Style / int_8a0f6e8a	comment	It's pretty easy to pick out Grant Kirkhope's work on soundtracks for Rare, particularly Donkey Kong 64 and the Banjo-Kazooie franchise. The vast majority of his compositions all share a similar song structure (it's virtually guaranteed that at some point the melody and harmony will be flipped to have the main theme played in the basss clef), and can mostly be written in the key of C. This is by no means a bad thing though. One other quirk is that the boss battle music will be a more dramatic rendition of the music heard in the rest of the level.

The main plots tend to be fairly standard, but the scale and grandeur of everything else in his writing tend to be a big appeal of his style. Another common quirk of his style tend to be for the characters to engage in various philosophical musings as well as off-kilter metaphors. And ham. Lots and lots of ham.

Even after the company was absorbed by Epic Games, many players felt that the extra content the team cooked up for the PC version of Gears of War was the single best part of the entire game.

A Kid-Appeal Character who admires the aforementioned hero, like Enzo Matrix, Cheetor, and Prince Pyrus. A Big Bad with a few recurring traits that starts off as an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain but becomes more evil and competent. Wacky and incompetent minions. A Dark Action Girl that starts out a villain but becomes good, like Mouse and Hexadecimal, Blackarachnia, and a subversion in the always-evil Lamprey. Voice work mainly handled by The Ocean Group.

Signature Style / int_90b916ba	comment	The success of Batman: The Animated Series was in large part due to Bruce Timm's distinctive character designs, and soon became the de facto house style for the DC Animated Universe. The style tends towards streamlined characters, straight lines, broad-shouldered males with chiseled chins, and shorter women with emphasized curves. DCAU series that don't sport the Timm Style look tend to stand out immediately as a result.

If The Social Network were directed by Wes Anderson it tries too hard to be quirky and off-kilter, directed by Michael Bay it's a by-the-books action blockbuster with a blue-orange filter, directed by Christopher Guest it's a mockumentary about character relationships, directed by Quentin Tarantino it's an incredibly violent movie with gangsters who talk about pop culture, directed by Guillermo del Toro it's in Spanish and about a Deal with the Devil gone wrong, and directed by Frank Capra it's a sentimental piece that emphasizes the importance of friendships.

Fans often refer to storylines and gimmicks that show Russo's fingerprints as "Russo-riffic"; this is not a compliment. Also, pole matches. Insane objects on top of poles at every corner of the ring. Expect any sort of tangible object at the center of a dispute to be put on a pole. And if there is no object in dispute, he'll put a weapon of some sort on a pole. Just because.

As the true story reveals itself, the experience ultimately becomes a Gameplay Roulette as the player tries to conquer The Most Dangerous Video Game. There's also notable trends for a False Friend, Satan's direct involvement, and an antagonistic presence that's not as great at making games as they think they are.

Signature Style / int_bfb483af	comment	Splatoon has in-universe examples for each of the companies that create weapons: Splat creates colorful weapons that appear to be made out of plastic, giving them a similar look to toy weapons, such as Nerf. They tend to be the Jack of All Stats of their weapon classes, and as a result, almost always have the lowest unlock requirements and serve to introduce players to those weapon classes. This company never puts its brand on its weapons, with endorsements by the in-universe clothing companies taking the place of where the logo should be. Deco prefers a black-and-gray color scheme with accents identifying the weapons, and it makes weapons out of what appear to be carbon fiber. Their weapons resemble either automobile parts, such as exhaust pipes, or objects found in offices, such as water coolers. Deco's more advanced weapons have decorations in the form of either a set of yellow bracket shapes or rhinestones, usually on the weapon's handles. All of Deco's weapons have either a low fire rate or require the user to charge the weapon before it can attack. "D" creates weapons themed on appliances that shoot or dispense water. They all have a fairly elongated shape and, for various reasons, are all nontraditional examples of their weapon classes. All of D's weapons have a medium-long range and make extensive use of the color blue. Neo makes weapons that tend to be on the short-range side but are compensated with having very high fire rates for their weapon classes. Neo prefers to theme weapons based on commonly encountered machines, such as washing machines and pencil sharpeners. Despite their short range, all of Neo's weapons have a high capacity for combat as they're effective at ambushing and flanking. Nouveau makes weapons that resemble an artist's tools and are the only known manufacturers of Inkbrushes. Like with Neo, Nouveau's weapons are all low-range but with a high fire rate, but unlike Neo, Nouveau's weapons are more adept at seizing and defending territory due to their high inking and high speed but low damage, and players who prefer to take on support roles tend to adopt Nouveau's weapons. That being said, it is pretty common to see Nouveau weapon users take the Fragile Speedster role and fight on the front lines too. Custom weapons have a heavy, industrial look to them, making use of a lot more metal than its competitors. Fitting the heavy style, not only do many of them have fiery decals and heavy use of red, they are also high-damage and long range but will readily deplete your ink (ammo) if you don't refill often. Custom is the opposite of the unnamed company for this reason as Custom's weapons demand excellent aim and calmness under pressure to do well, and for that reason, Custom's weapons tend to have the highest unlock requirements for weapons of their classes. Foil specializes in multitaskers. They have multiple forms that the user can switch between at will without any change to its appearance, and thus they allow the user to confuse and surprise opponents. The downside is that each form is significantly weaker than other weapons in its class, requiring the user to make up for that in Confusion Fu. The multiple-forms aspect is present in Foil's logo too, which consists of a pair of arrows pointing in opposite directions, representing these weapons' ability to perform opposite roles. Foil seems to like to theme main weapons on high society, such as fountain pens and champagne bottles. Sorella is the exclusive manufacturer of the Brella weapon class, and it makes nothing else. As a result, Sorella has the most easily-noticeable traits, namely weapons themed on umbrellas and parasols whose canopies double as shields from enemy fire. Though a clothing brand in the first game, Tentatek joined the sport weapons industry in Splatoon 2. As Tentatek normally makes athletic-looking clothing, it naturally follows that Tentatek's weapons resemble athletic clothes as well, such as basketball shoes. Tentatek's weapons also contain a lot of rubber. Auto does not normally make weapons, but, like Tentatek, it also joined the industry in Splatoon 2. Both within and outside of Ink Wars, Auto specializes in technology designed to navigate terrain or locate things, and this is reflected in its Autobomb, a small walking explosive drone that can seek out opponents even when they're concealed. Grizzco does not mass-produce weapons, but it does have illegally modified weapons that are all Purposely Overpowered. These cannot be used in head-to-head battling, but only in the cooperative Salmon Run mode. Grizzco's weapons are all based on an existing weapon with every non-metallic part removed and replaced with canisters housing glowing yellow fluid inside. Sheldon, the character who sells weapons to the player characters makes weapons of his own too, and he likes making them out of metal. Unlike Custom, these have a luxurious appearance rather than industrial, and fittingly, the more advanced variants are also often coated in gold. Sheldon has a Minmaxer's Delight style, with each of them very good at one particular task but at the cost of a multitude of weaknesses in anything not related to that task.

The former especially concerns his female characters, each of whom is a one-of-a-kind mixture of genuine personality, Fetish (or Moe, depending on who you ask), and plain badass. Thematically, his plots often revolve humans' relationship with Mother Earth and feature Bittersweet Endings (at best). And he has an Eye Fetish. One thing that is present in all of his work is super-powered female leads. The main heroine is either the most powerful being in the series or one of the most powerful. However, she is often in circumstances where she can't use her full power so that others can at least fight with her on equal grounds. Also, alter-egos of some sort, be it Split Personality, or a Future Badass.

Their games tend to be darker story-heavy science fiction tales, happening in an idyllic, at first glance, full of secrets setting that has either been built on twisted principles or has recently been ravaged by a disaster. The story is driven by a deconstruction of an ideology taken to its extreme, or two ideologies opposite to each other with the protagonist as a balancing force in-between. They also tend to feature a twist that changes both how we think about the main villain and protagonist's actions up to this point.

In the case of yakuza members, expect to see their rank within a specific family of a clan. Main stories that are gritty and dramatic, juxtaposed with side quests that are often Denser and Wackier. Yakuza 0, for instance, has a side quest revolving around someone stealing pants from bullies, or one where a kid gets his new video game stolen, only for the thief to have it stolen by someone else, and so on... An emphasis on hard-hitting Finishing Moves. The Heat Moves of Yakuza are often brutal. Environmental objects being used as weapons. Expect to use anything that isn't bolted to the ground as a bludgeon (and maybe even a few things that are!). Even Lost Paradise, which doesn't have a lot of weapons for Kenshiro to use, has a counter-move for mooks with flamethrowers and the ability to weaponize his enemies' death cries. Beautiful women in luxurious clothing. Hostess clubs showcase this best. Battle Strips before major battles, where combatants will throw off their shirts and coats in one fluid motion, revealing their tattoos underneath.
