Reference in Garou: The anti-air throw of Griffon Mask/Tizoc is called Icarus Crash. This is based on the infamous flight of Icarus in Greek mythology that resulted in him falling to the ocean after flying to close to the sun. In the same way that Icarus crashed for going too high in the air, Griffon Mask punishes you for jumping at him so he can control space better.

Reference in Skullgirls: LMFAOOOOOO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FUGGEN EPIC? WHEN PEACOCK CALLS OUT HER LITTLE FRIEND GEORGE TO COME IN FROM THE AIR, HE DROPS DIO'S ROAD ROLLER DA ON YOU AND GOES ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA LIKE IN JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE HERITAGE FOR THE FUTURE FOR THE CAPCOM SYSTEM 3 ARCADE BOARD WITH THE SAME TIMING AND DESIGN AS THE MOVE IT CAME FROM XDXDXD

Yeah, I'm thinking Americans are retarded, not creative, nor are they transformative.
Nihonjin create. Gaijin imitate.
