Alex


""You can talk the talk, but you can't walk the walk yet, loser!""

"Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto

First appearance: Street Fighter III: The New Generation"

"The main character of the Street Fighter III series, he's a New York grappler who holds a grudge against Gill, after he'd beaten up Alex's trainer, Tom. After it, he decided to continue fighting and improving his skills against new opponents."

"Do you really want to spend the rest of your life chasing after some stupid Japanese street fighter?
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Badass Normal
 * Battle Strip: In his intro pose.
 * Berserk Button: It doesn't matter how much he wants to fight Ryu. Call him "stupid", and Alex will kick your ass so bad, that you won't sit in any chair for the rest of your life, as seen in his ending:

Alex: Stupid...?

(cue asskicking)"

""You must be an outer space knight. Cuz that getup would never catch on in the Bronx!""
 * Bootstrapped Theme: "Jazzy NYC". Another of the thousands of remixes of the NYC level from Street Fighter III.
 * Brooklyn Rage
 * Captain Obvious: His victory quote towards Tekkaman somehow sounded like one until you read the other sentence.

""Ret's rumble!"
 * Fingerless Gloves
 * Gratuitous English: He's voiced in this game by Yasunori Matsumoto. As an Internet dweller noted, he now sounds like a Japanese man trying and failing to sound like a dude from Brooklyn.

"Why we waiting?"

""Right away!"""

"Gold Lightan: You threw me! You really threw me! Are you really human!?"
 * Martial Arts Headband
 * Meteor Move: His "Hyper Bomb".
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Suplex Finisher: Gets one, which is also one of the few which works against giants as well as it does against foes his own size.

""Never thought I'd meet you here, Ryu. Guess I should be grateful for this opportunity!""
 * Use Your Head: His "Stun Gun Headbutt" Level 1 Super: a flurry of headbutts which damages and stuns the opponent.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene
 * Worthy Opponent: He praises Ryu as the world's strongest fighter ever. See Berserk Button above.

"HYPA BOMB!"
 * Wrestler in All of Us: His arsenal includes slams and wrestling moves. In this game, he gains a dropkick followup to his "Slash Elbow". Of course, Alex is a grappler. That said, some of his moves are more rooted in kickboxing.

Batsu


""There's only one rule to fighting: the strong will win.""

"Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama

First appearance: Rival Schools: United By Fate"

"The main character of the Rival Schools franchise, Batsu is a Hot Blooded teen who got transferred to the Taiyo High School, and got involved in many fights going on between his new school and competing education centers."

""Um... Um... I... don'toh... speaku Engrish! Sankyu! Good-bye!""
 * Ascended Extra: Prior to his ascension to playable, he appeared as part of Kyosuke's Level 3 super in Capcom vs. SNK 2.
 * Bootstrapped Theme: The "Taiyo High School Rooftop" theme.
 * Combination Attack: His Level 3 super (carried over from Rival Schools) is a special case as he teams up with his partner to perform one of three suped-up versions of his own specials, the specific attack depending on your choice of characters.
 * Gratuitous English: Mocked in his victory quote against Alex:

"Jun The Swan: You think it only takes guts to win? Someone needs a reality check.
 * Hot Blooded: His attacks are based on his "burning vigor".

Karas: ... You are full of passion... That is something a Karas lacks..."

"""I betcha don't have as much guts as me!"""
 * Manly Tears: His "Team-Up Technique" hyper move makes use of his partner. If said partner has been KO'd already, not only is it changed so that it's the partner's spirit helping him out and Batsu is crying, but the attack does more damage.
 * Shotoclone: Seems to take Ken's place, with his fiery, and weak but still useful fireball
 * Title Drop: His Level 3 Super, where he teams up with his partner, is called "United By Fate".
 * Unskilled but Strong: By his own admission.

"(after winning against Casshan) "I... I can't take it anymore! I absolutely hate dogs! Sorry, but I've got to get out of here!""
 * Why Did It Have To Be Dogs?:

Chun-Li
""Even in the air I can still dance all over your face!""

"Voiced by: Fumiko Orikasa

First appearance: Street Fighter II: The World Warriors"

"An Interpol Special Agent who holds a grudge against M. Bison for killing her father."

"(after winning a Mirror Match) "After fighting you I can't but wonder... Are my thighs really that thick?"
 * Amazonian Beauty: Her legs are massive pillars of muscle and they only add to the attraction in the eyes of many fans.
 * Badass Adorable: Would you expect a woman like her to jump for joy or strike a V Sign and proclaim "Yatta!"?
 * Bootstrapped Theme: "China Stage" from Street Fighter II.
 * Button Mashing: Her lightning kick.
 * Chinese Girl: The original, in fact.
 * Double Jump: Triple Jump, actually.
 * Energy Ball: Her Kikoken and Kikosho.
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Ki Attacks: Her Kikoken.
 * Kick Chick
 * Murderous Thighs

Tekkaman Blade: Those are some amazing leg muscles. What do you do to work them out? Oh... Sorry. I didn't know you were self-conscious about them.

Zero: Your kicks are impressive for a human. I'd probably lose a couple of parts if you were to land one on me."

"Ken The Eagle: I had no idea Interpol had such powerful agents. Science Ninja cannot be remiss in its training!"
 * Odango: Covered variant.
 * Rapid Fire Kicks: Her Lightning Kick.
 * She Fu
 * Sphere of Destruction: Her Kikoushou.
 * Storming the Castle: Her ending in Ultimate All-Stars involves.
 * Supercop: An Interpol Special Agent.

Frank West


""There's gotta be a scoop around here, and I'm gonna find it!""

"Voiced by: Peter Von Gomm

First appearance: Dead Rising"

"A freelance journalist who gets into a tip to go to the Willamette Parkmall in the small town of Willamette Co. where he discovers a Zombie Apocalypse covered by the military."

"REAL MEGA BUSTER!
 * Badass Normal: To some extent. He fights Humongous Mechas with a baseball bat and some Zombies.
 * Batter Up: He even says these exact words.
 * Calling Your Attacks:

DEAD RISING!"

""Oh, look what we have here!""
 * Chivalrous Pervert:
 * When fighting a female, while snaping pictures numerous times:

""Um, a kid like you could get hurt!""
 * When fighting under-aged girls like Roll and Saki

""Jun, give me the camera back! I told you I deleted the pictures of your underwear!""
 * And then, there's his winning quote against Jun The Swan.

"Viewtiful Joe: You... A hero...? I don't think you really belong here, do you?"
 * Cool Helmet: The Servbot helmet he uses in his Level 3 against everyone not named Gold Lightan or PTX-40A.
 * Combat Pragmatist
 * Death From Above: When facing the large robots, his Level 3 is changed. A zombie falls from the sky to where PTX-40A or Gold Lightan is standing. Should it connect, more zombies will body slam the large mecha, giving time to Frank to set up oxygen tanks around the robot and shoot them for a large explosion.
 * Enemy Mine: He's "aided" by zombies in battle. Although they will damage anyone that touches them, including Frank himself.
 * Fighting Clown: He's completely out of place in this game (that's probably the intention). He has deadly moves such as cosplaying as Mega Man, and zombies in shopping carts.

""So that's the "world's strongest lance," huh? Big deal, I'm freelance pal! Ha ha ha! ... Get it?""
 * Home Run Hitter
 * Improbable Weapon User: He uses his camera, a Servbot helmet, and a baseball bat as weapons.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: In his winquote against Tekkaman.


 * Kamehame Hadouken: His Mega Buster.
 * Megaton Punch: His zombie punch in his "THAT'S HILARIOUS!" hyper move.
 * Non Standard Character Design: He is drawn far more realistically than everyone else. The rest of the game is drawn in an anime style. Even so, the Frank West of this game is far more cartoony than his home series.
 * Rule of Funny: A zombie in a shopping cart.
 * Secret Character: In UAS.
 * Shopping Cart Antics
 * Shotguns Are Just Better: How he finishes his Level 3 super against the giants.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: His Level 3 super against Gold Lightan or PTX-40A.
 * Surprisingly Good English: He's the only character to be voiced by an American voice actor.
 * Suspiciously Similar Substitute: His fighting style (with zombies as helpers) has been compared to Jill's in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
 * Title Drop:
 * His grab hyper is called "Dead Rising". He even shouts it when doing it.
 * He does another when asked for the title of a picture he took with the Tatsunoko heroes in his ending. His answer is to name it the Ultimate All-Stars.
 * The Unexpected
 * Wave Motion Gun: His Mega Buster, again.
 * Wrestler in All of Us: Can use suplexes, the Great Swing, etc.

Kaijin No Soki


""When my mind and body are one, cutting even the strongest steel is no different than slicing tofu!""

"Voiced by: Toshiyuki Kusuda

First appearance: Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams"

"A powerful warrior clad in a blue armor who stand against the evil Hideyoshi and burn down the "Genma Trees" which are gathered from all Japan."

"Tekkaman Blade: Your soul is given over to evil. That path is one all humans fear to tread... I fear that it might be my destiny..."
 * Awesome but Impractical: He can power up one of his specials to become a big shockwave, too bad it takes way too long to work in a real match. Still, it can also fall into...
 * Awesome Yet Practical: One of his BnB combos involve Volnutt's drill assist to buy Soki enough time to charge his sword.
 * Bad Powers, Good People

""I am Soki-slayer of demons, destroyer of Darkness! I am the Oni of the Ashes!""
 * Bootstrapped Theme: Two of them: "Blue Oni" is his battle theme. When he activates his Super Mode, it changes to "Red Oni".
 * BFS: He even has two, which wields in the succesful ending of his Level 3 super. (See Super-Powered Evil Side)
 * Dark Is Not Evil: He's one of the "heroes" of the game. In his ending, he even.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Katanas Are Just Better: His main BFS is curved like a katana. Oddly enough, due to Soki's demon blood, he and Karas are portrayed as rivals in this game.
 * Late Arrival Spoiler: For those who haven't played Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, Soki is, hence his powers.
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Red Baron:


 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Invoked by his theme songs.
 * The Rival: Karas.
 * Storming the Castle: His ending in this game and Cross Generation of Heroes, where.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side/Super Mode: His Level 3 hyper combo consists of him tapping into his Oni powers and transforming into his "Black Oni" Onimusha form. This is a sign to get as far away as possible. This mode also gives him:
 * Battle Aura: His body is surrounded by a mist of darkness.
 * Power Glows
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom
 * Red Eyes Take Warning
 * Hair Colors: A long mane of white hair
 * Heal Thyself: By catching the Oni souls.
 * Implacable Man: While he is unable to summon his partner, he can shake off anything you throw at him as he slowly approaches you.
 * Mana Drain: Catching the Oni souls also steal his opponent's super bar energy to extend his transformation.
 * Mask of Power
 * Powered Armor: Hilariously in UAS test builds though, that his super armor was removed during his Level 3, but was returned in later versions.
 * Power Makes Your Voice Deep: His voice drops several octanes.
 * Power Echoes
 * The Unintelligible: His voice is also incomprehensible.
 * 24-Hour Armor: This mode consumes his Super bar.
 * No Holds Barred Beatdown: With each successful attack he lands, Oni Souls are released (which Soki can collect by using the partner button). Once he obtains 7 red orbs, he can activate his true hyper combo, where he wields both of his BFSes and sends you on a one-way trip to Pain Central.
 * Too Long; Didn't Dub: "Kaijin no Soki" in the localization of Ultimate All Stars. Probably done to prevent confusion with Saki. Still pretty strange, since many earlier promotional videos from Cross Generation of Heroes had shown english translation for the characters of the game, and there he was Souki.

Mega Man Volnutt


""I analyze every possibility, and I never give up. That's the way I live my life as a digger!""

"Voiced by: Mayumi Tanaka

First appearance: Megaman Legends"

"A digger who, alongside his friends/surrogates Roll and Barrel Caskett, explores the ruins left by the Precursors searching for energy-generating refractors that are more precious than gold in their Scavenger World."

"Batsu: I've fought a lot of punks in my time, but none of 'em have ever brought a drill to a fight!"
 * Ambidextrous Sprite: Volnutt's buster arm is switched when he switches sides.
 * American Kirby Is Hardcore: He looks hardcore in his Ultimate All-Stars art compared to their Cross Generation of Heroes art.
 * Arm Cannon
 * Beam-O-War: When done with supers, his machine gun will generally win. This is because it has one of the longest durations and will thus hit an opponent immediately after their beam ends, has a firing rate that is equal to beams despite not being an actual beam, has a fast startup even if you enter it in late, and can be done concurrently with the charging of the best non-super projectile in the game.
 * Bootstrapped Theme: "The Flutter vs. Gesellschaft".
 * Button Mashing: His Level 3 hyper does more damage the more you do this.
 * Charged Attack: Gets one in this game.
 * More Dakka: To some extent, his "Machine Gun Sweep" Level 1 super has him shooting a plenty amount of bullets from his Arm Cannon.
 * Swiss Army Appendage: His hand can become an Arm Cannon and a drill.
 * This Is a Drill: Another of his Level 1 supers transforms his Arm Cannon into another drill.

Morrigan Aensland


""I don't really care about what's "good" and what's "bad." I only care about enjoying myself.""

"Voiced by: Yayoi Jinguji

First appearance: Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors"

"The daughter of Belial Aensland, she was born with power that rivaled S class high nobles. Fearing that that Morrigan would lose control of that power, Belial split her soul in half, taking part of her power. She spent her days as a Rebellious Princess and generally being the combat-crazy version of Paris Hilton."

"(when winning against Roll) "You're a tad young to have fun with, dear. I'll check on you again once you're more developed.""
 * American Kirby Is Hardcore: Averted, she's positively beaming in her Ultimate All-Stars art.
 * Anything That Moves: Her victory quotes imply that she has no problem "making out" with characters like females, robots, and such. Except Roll... for now. She'll just have to wait until she's older.

""Such a pure and innocent child... Would you like a little taste of the dark side? Just one little scratch and you'll be in a world of pleasure.""
 * Assist Character: She's assisted by Lilith in her Darkness Illusion Level 3 Super.
 * Battle Aura: Most likely to show the results of her Fusion Dance with Lilith.
 * Bootstrapped Theme: The Scotland stage theme from the first Darkstalkers.
 * Cape Wings
 * Combat Stilettos
 * Corrupt the Cutie: Her win quote against Yatterman-2

"(when winning against Casshan) "I wouldn't move if I were you. It's so difficult trying to find the balance between pleasure and pain."
 * Dark Is Not Evil
 * Double Entendre: The All-Time champion on her home series, also brought here:

(when winning against Frank West) "Why use a lens to take me in? Come over here and I'll show you something that you could never hope to capture on film."

(when winning against Gold Lightan) "I find the discrepancy between your physical size and your ambitions to be so disappointing."

(when winning against Karas) "What? You don't want me to see what's inside that armor? That just makes me want to try harder."

(when winning against PTX-40A, referring to it's pilot) "How can you sleep in an iron cage like that? My body would do a better job of keeping you warm."

(when winning against Yatterman-1) "If you're done playing hero now, maybe I can show you how to really have a good time.""

"Ken The Eagle: Your flirtations will not work on highly trained warriors like us, temptress! You will not hinder us on our mission!
 * : As seen in both of her endings. As if she hadn't hit enough kinks already...
 * Gratuitous English: Listen to her audio for Soul Fist and Shadow Blade.
 * Horny Devils: Both her and Lilith.
 * Macross Missile Massacre: Her Missile Shower Level 1 super.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Noblewoman's Laugh
 * Not Distracted By the Sexy: Aside of, plenty of characters aren't attracted to her.

Tekkaman: Sorry, lady, but I'm on a mission for humanity. I don't have time for you or your temptations.

Tekkaman Blade: I'll admit, you are very attractive... But so what?

Viewtiful Joe: Sorry lady, but I've got too many older, bat-guano crazy women in my life as it is!

Yatterman-1: I've seen enough sexy villainesses in my time to know what to expect from you! By the way, you're way hotter than Doronjo, I gotta say.

Zero: I won't be seduced by you, demon. I have friends I need to get back to."


 * Power Floats
 * Sexy Backless Outfit: Obscured by the wings, but yes.
 * Shapeshifter Weapon: Her wings.
 * Shotoclone
 * Stripperific: She's technically not wearing clothes.
 * This Is a Drill: One of her supers transforms her legs into a flying drill.
 * Welcome to The Real World: Her ending in Ultimate All-Stars. She travels through one of the dimensional rifts in search of a good time... and ends up outside the game. This culminates in her defeat in the actual game at the hands of the young boy named Manabu who is Not Distracted By the Sexy. In her ending we can even appreciate Gan-chan and Ai-chan walking in front of the local, looking very surprised at Morrigan's reaction. (Or attire)
 * Winged Humanoid
 * Wrestler in All of Us: Her Vector Drain special.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair

PTX-40A


""This is a perfectly balanced VS. You can't even begin to compare to its weight, firepower, and mobility. That's why you lost.""

- PTX's pilot

"First appearance: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition"

"One of the Vital Suits from the source game, controlled by an unknown pilot."

"Joe The Condor: Your firepower and mobility is most impressive. ...I wonder what Dr. Nambu would make of it."
 * A Mech By Any Other Name: A Vital Suit.
 * BFS: Normal sized in relation to a Humongous Mecha, but it can use its energy blades as a Super.
 * Bootstrapped Theme: Its theme is a remix of the main theme of Lost Planet.
 * Chainsaw Good: One of its specials. Also, one of its Level 1 (Tactical Calibur) Supers.
 * Do a Barrel Roll: Its crouching fierce.
 * Flash of Pain: Because it doesn't flinch when damaged (as compensation for fighting alone), it needs confirmation that the hits are landing, which is more obvious than just its health bar.
 * Gatling Good
 * Humongous Mecha


 * Hyperspace Arsenal
 * More Dakka: His "Arsenal Barrage" super revolves around this.
 * One Man Party: He can't be paired with anyone due to it's own power.
 * Powered Armor: Though after several hits they would get dizzy.
 * Real Robot
 * Running Gag: Many of the characters mistake it for a sentient robot.
 * Toasted Buns: Many of its normal attacks involve roasting his opponents with his thruster-fire.
 * Transforming Mecha: Changes in its Level 3 Super for a devastating attack.
 * The Voiceless: It only makes robotic noises. It has, however, a nameless pilot who is seen in the ending and says the victory quotes.
 * Weaponized Exhaust: Its various normal moves involve using its thrusters to burn the enemy or to act as a quick escape. It's also one of its bread and butter moves.

Roll


""I'll just have to give it my all since my brother isn't here to give me a hand!""

"Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi

First appearance: Mega Man"

"The third humanoid robot built by Light Labs, and a "sister unit" of sorts to Mega Man and Proto Man."

"Saki: Wow, you're way more powerful than you look!"
 * Adaptational Badass: Somewhat, though she sometimes isn't even present enough to tell either way. Knocking much larger opponents off their feet and repeatedly ramming them in the groin with a mop is pretty hardcore.
 * American Kirby Is Hardcore: She does look hardcore in her Ultimate All-Stars art compared to their Cross Generation of Heroes.
 * Anime Theme Song/Bootstrapped Theme: "Kaze Yo Tsutaete". Like the main theme of the game, it has two versions.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass

"Kaijin No Soki: Ah... If only Jubei had your poise and charm."
 * Cute Bruiser

"Alex: ...This girl is like a hardware shop and an armory all rolled into one!
 * The Dev Team Thinks of Everything: Her healing move causes a "drop" of light to appear in mid-air and fall on her. If a human character touches the "drop", they take a little damage and interrupt the move, but if a robot character touches it, they get healed.
 * Development Gag: Her ending contains a far obscure one..
 * Dialogue Tree: She will mention that Volnutt reminds her of her brother before the fight and calls Viewtiful Joe a "Quickman cosplayer". In turn, Zero comments on what robotic model Roll is, as well as calling her a housekeeping reploid, and Viewtiful Joe will comment on Roll being a cute girl, after defeating her.
 * Flying Broomstick: Used in her dash, and in her appearance in the Mini Game Credits.
 * Glacier Waif
 * Glass Cannon: If you make her sweep her own puddle, she binks, giving her a permanent damage buff for ALL of her attacks. You can sweep up to five puddles, wherein she's about as strong as Tekkaman. And that's not all: you can gain the maximum buff of five puddles while sweeping only one puddle if you use her Sweep Turbo super move!
 * On top of that, one of her specials serves the purpose of granting a damage buff to her next special. So.. Yeah. Really damaging if you play her right. Can't take much punishment, though.
 * Hitbox Dissonance: Her small size makes her a hard target to hit. And with the addition of her broom, a weapon with good reach, this was furthered.
 * Image Song: "Kaze Yo Tsutaete", christened to "When The Wind Blows" in UAS.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Because Capcom wanted the character to be true to her origins, she fights as a house-keeping robot, so she attacks enemies with her broom and bucket of water. Some characters praises her because of that:

Frank West: Ah, the simple mop. Not a bad weapon. It will take out your basic zombie. Good durability. You could do worse.

Tekkaman: When one masters a weapon, a person's potential increases accordingly. That being said, that broom is deadly in your hands."

"(when winning against Frank West) "You say I need to fight more and clean less so you can take a good picture... Sorry, but cleaning is what I do best!""
 * Irony: Roll's storyline emphasizes the fact that Roll was not built for combat. Yet she's totally able to put giant robots, superheroes, monsters, street fighters or in their place. Plus, she has made the most appearances in the Capcom vs. Whatever series than any other character from the entire franchise.

"Chun-Li: One of the rules of fighting is to never underestimate your opponent. I should have remembered that..."
 * Joke Character: In tier lists, she can be found at the same low tier as Karas in UAS. This doesn't mean that she can't be a...
 * Lethal Joke Character: She has a disjointed hitbox, a Level 1 healing hyper move, and very damaging attacks.


 * Little Miss Badass
 * Mini Game Credits: The same game where Doronjo and her henchmen are featured can be played with Roll if the player finishes the game with her. The same rules apply.
 * Panty Shot: Definitely avoided. Roll seems to have learned her lesson from Marvel vs. Capcom, even quickly covering up if she superjumps too high.
 * Robot Girl
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Ryu


""Where one goes isn't important. What matters is following your own path!""

"Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi

First appearance: Street Fighter"

"The face of the Street Fighter series and the Fighting Game character, Ryu is a wandering warrior seeking to improve his own skills while facing opponents in any part of the world."

"Chun-Li: You don't change, no matter how much time has passed. I really wish I had your dedication."
 * American Kirby Is Hardcore: Inverted: in his CGOH artwork he's The Stoic, while in UAS, he sprouts a smile.
 * Badass Arm Fold: His victory pose.
 * Blood Knight: Fighting is everything for Ryu. Some characters call him on this:

"HADOKEN!
 * Bootstrapped Theme: The Japan stage theme from Street Fighter II.
 * Calling Your Attacks:

SHORYUKEN!

TATSUMAKI SENPUUKYAKU!"

"PTX-40A pilot: No, no, no. I don't care how much training you have. No one can deflect bullets and dodge missiles!"
 * Does Not Like Shoes
 * Dramatic Wind
 * Energy Ball: His Hadouken, of course!
 * Hard Work Hardly Works:

Tekkaman Blade: You're good. You're strong. But my strength is fortified by my hate, and that's why I can beat you."

"Batsu: Hmm... That's the Shimazu-style karate, isn't it? Seems like everyone's using that these days."
 * Hurricane Kick
 * Kamehame Hadoken: The second part of the trope's name comes from the version of the Shinkuu Hadouken, which is the best known of many, MANY, MANY instances.
 * Martial Arts Headband
 * Running Gag: Most of the characters will compliment him, even in a Mirror Match.
 * Shoryuken
 * Shotoclone: The original, in fact.

"Doronjo: I cannot honestly believe someone as strong as you is so poor! C'est la vie, as they say!
 * Spirited Competitor: An heroic version. Some characters praise him for this:

Jun The Swan: I can tell you don't fight for justice or out of some obligation. There's a real purity in your devotion.

Kaijin No Soki: I recognize the look in your eyes, warrior. You are one who has discarded all hesitation and possesses the refined soul of a samurai.

Karas: ... I feel a pleasant breeze... ... emanating from your punches...

Ken The Eagle: I'm the fastest member of my team, and you could still keep up with me! You've forced me to reevaluate my opinion of street fighters!"


 * The Stoic

Saki Omokane


""No need to worry! The Earth Defense Squad is on the job!""

"Voiced by: Youko Honna

First appearance: Quiz Nanairo DREAMS"

Viewtiful Joe


""Who's the most viewtiful hero around? That's right, yours truly!""

"Voiced by: Shinji Kawada

First appearance: Viewtiful Joe"

"A film fan who's brought to Movie Land when his girlfriend gets kidnapped by the Big Bad. He fights for truth and justice using the time altering powers of his V-watch, which is activated by the magical phrase "Henshin.""

"(after winning against Ken The Eagle) "Hey, if you guys have an opening, ring me up! Whether it's a horned owl, a swallow or heck, even a condor, I'd fit the bill!"
 * Ascended Fanboy: So much that his victory quotes and ending involve him swooning over Tatsunoko superheroes. It's only appropriate that he's both here and in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, since he's such a huge dork about this stuff.

(after winning against Polimar) "Whoa, the real Polimar!? H-O-T! Hey, hey, can you sign my helmet!? Make it out to "Joe, my No. 1 fan"!"

(after winning against Tekkaman) "Y-Y-You're Tekkaman!? Really!? Sweet! I see you all the time when they show reruns!""

"(when winning against Jun The Swan) "Wooow A perfect mix of shy and sexy! You're really something! (Man, Silvia could learn a thing or two from her...)"
 * Assist Character: Assisted by Sexy Silvia in his "Six Cannon" Level 1 Super.

(when winning against Roll) "A cute robot girl that's also a maid? You know, there is such a thing as overkill."

(when winning against Yatterman-2) "Now that's how a heroine's gotta be! Maybe you and Sylvia can swap places? ...No? Dang.""


 * Cool Helmet

 * Charged Attack: One of his specials turns his arm into an Arm Cannon and charges a shot.
 * Death From Above: His Rekkouha super summons several blasts from above.
 * Doppelganger Attack: His Sougenmu.
 * Fragile Speedster: He has the same amount of health as Karas, but has a easily spammeable dash attack and has many, many, many offensive options available.

"Tekkaman: Your offensive abilities are good, but you have no defense."
 * Glass Cannon: Another interpretation of him, true to form. Expert players can whip out positively mammoth strings of heavy damage, but he can't exactly take a hit either. There's a reason he's been christened as a spiritual successor to Akuma.

"Batsu: That sword's like something outta a sci-fi flick! I have no idea how it works, but it's freakin' cool!"
 * Ground Pound: His "Rekkouha" Level 1 Super.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Laser Blade: His Z-Saber, complete with Sword Beams.

"Chun-Li: You've got really great hair for a robot... What shampoo and conditioner do you use?"
 * Late Arrival Spoiler:.
 * My Hero Zero
 * Rapunzel Hair


 * Secret Character: In UAS.
 * Shoryuken: His Ryuenjin.
 * The Stoic
 * Time Stands Still: His "Dark Hold" Level 3 Super.
 * Too Long; Didn't Dub: More savvy Mega Man X players will note that his "Sougenmu" technically counts, since it was originally used in X5, the only X game to localize the names of Zero's moves (there, it was called "Twin Dream").



"First appearance: Okami"

"The Big Bad of Okami. In this game, he's behind the disruption of the reality, and everyone has to fight him in order to stop him."


 * Big Bad
 * Blow You Away: One of his third form's specials creates a tornado.
 * Collision Damage: One of his supers. The whole combo does 58 hits!!!
 * Dark Is Evil: And screws reality.
 * Drop the Hammer: In his first form.
 * Eldritch Abomination
 * Flash of Pain: Because he doesn't flinch when damaged, he needs confirmation that the hits are landing which are more obvious than just their health bar.
 * Giant Hand Of Doom: His third form. His grab is extremely damaging.
 * Giant Space Flea From Nowhere:
 * In CGoH. Sure, it's an arcade mode, but did anyone expect him to appear? And after you defeat him, as the ending shows up, a completely different event is happening, with the characters not mentioning the battle ever. You'd think defeating would be something to talk about. Some characters do point out that they defeated a monster like Viewtiful Joe and Roll. But having him in the game itself is surprising, despite being "teased" in the Cross Generations of Heroes opening (he shows up right after the logo fades from the opening movie).
 * Totally averted in UAS, since most of the endings refer him as.
 * Ground Pound: One of his third form's specials.
 * Mechanical Lifeforms
 * One-Winged Angel
 * Playing With Fire: His third form super uses a Frickin' Laser Beams engulfed in fire.
 * Powered Armor
 * Power Glows: Each time he activates a super, he glows in red and black.
 * Saw Good: In his first form.
 * Sequential Boss
 * Shock and Awe: One of his third form's specials involves him throwing a huge Energy Ball composed of electricity.
 * SNK Boss: His third form is particularly hard, primarily because it has a grab move with a damage rivaling a level 3 hyper combo! That being said, long-range specialists work wonderfully against it - it's close-up fighters like Polymar who really feel the heat.
 * Theme Music Power-Up: When you face in the final battle, "The Sun Rises" starts playing.
 * Transforming Mecha: After you defeat one of his forms, he'll change to the next one.
 * Tron Lines
 * Victory Fakeout: Like Abyss before him, he does this twice after beating his first two forms. The only difference is that there is a loading screen between forms and the fact that your health is restored.
 * The Voiceless
