[[Captain Obvious|The characters of]] ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' [[Captain Obvious|will be listed here]].
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
== Terry Bogard ==
* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[Big Badass Wolf|The wolf]]. His nickname is even "The Legendary Hungry Wolf", a play on the series' Japanese title (''Garou Densetsu'').
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* [[Celibate Hero]]: He ''knows'' Mai is crazy for him, but his overall behavior is more of a [[Big Brother Instinct]].
** Andy pretty much sees this as a [[Like Brother and Sister]] moment; having lived most of his life with Mai, he has a hard time adequately returning her affections. The status quo is kept in the second anime special (minus an [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|epic]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|asskicking]] of Laurence for harming her), but this is finally averted in [[The Movie]], where they actually share a kiss after Andy trounces [[Stalker with a Crush|Hauer]] and Mai finishes [[Love Martyr|Panni]].
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: He suffers an injury in ''Fatal Fury 3'' that continues to plague him throughout the ''Real Bout'' series, but it doesn't seem to hamper him in actual fights.
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: He is shown training much more than Terry, but can't keep up with him.
* [[Ki Attacks]]
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
* [[Blow You Away]]: Uses wind-based projectiles.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: While the Bogard brothers are typically reserved, Joe is the good-natured braggart of their group.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In the first two games, Joe was relatively [[Nice Guy|laid-back and reserved.]] It wasn't until the [[The Anime of the Game|anime specials]] (complete with [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]'s [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|trademark]] [[Hot-Blooded|fiery passion]]) that Joe evolved into the guy we know today. This characterization has stuck ever since ''Fatal Fury 3''.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Since the ''King of Fighters'' series started, he's gone further and further into the background.
* [[Hachimaki]]: [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head|With the Japanese flag on it]].
Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* [[Anime Hair]]: And it's [[Multicolored Hair]], too!
* [[But Not Too Black]]: But it didn't become apparent 'til ''Real Bout''.
* [[Cool Pet]]: P-Chan! We're talking about an adorable chick that copies Duck's every move
* [[Cool Shades]]: Duck is never seen without his trademark blue rayban sunglasses.
** [[Sunglasses at Night]]
Line 118 ⟶ 119:
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Senpu Ken and Senpu Gou Ken is him spinning himself around like a dervish.
* [[Old Master]]
* [[
* [[Shout-Out]]: Has lots of things in common with Kame Sennin/Master Roshi from ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', but his personality is different (especially in that he's not a pervert).
* [[Super Mode]]: In the first game only, right after losing 1/3 of his life and until losing another third, he would morph into a hulking giant much stronger than his regular self. [[Temporary Bulk Change|In later games, his ability to become gigantic like this is used more freely
== Hwa Jai ==
Line 171 ⟶ 172:
* [[Simple Staff]]
* [[Super Strength]]: Relatively speaking, it would take a great deal of might to properly utilize a three-section staff held together by chains with great tensile strength.
* [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head]]: Aside from his bandanna, he wore a Union Jack shirt in ''Fatal Fury 2''/''Fatal Fury Special''.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: He gets his ass kicked a ''lot'' by up-and-coming villains.
Line 177 ⟶ 178:
{{quote|The [[Big Bad]]. Formerly the Chief of Police for Southtown (as seen in ''[[Art of Fighting|Art of Fighting 2]]''), he stepped down from that role when he decided crime was more profitable. He killed Jeff Bogard when Tung Fu Rue chose Jeff to inherit his secrets, and has a vendetta against Bogard's sons as well. Waterfowl names were never so scary before.}}
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: He's the head of the Howard Connection for a reason: because he has extensive underworld connections and influence among
** [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: It's how he made it to the top of Southtown in the first place.
* [[Badass]]
Line 197 ⟶ 198:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Rock ''loathes'' the man not only for abandoning him and his wife [[Hot Mom|Marie]], but for turning down his pleas to save his mom ''[[Tear Jerker|the very night that she died]]''. Ironically, Geese hates ''his'' father for {{spoiler|leaving him and his mother Maria to fend for themselves in Southtown while he went on to become the head of the Strolheim family. Geese even tried to kill his dad, but half-bro Krauser stopped him}}.
* [[Say My Name]]: Gets this a lot from the [[You Killed My Father|Bogard Bros.]] Luckily, [[Parental Abandonment|Rock]] and {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister|Kain]]}} don't get a chance to join in.
* [[Schrödinger's

* [[Shock and Awe]]: His Raimei Gouha Nage special throw and his Thunder Break super.
Line 211 ⟶ 212:
{{quote|A beautiful kunoichi from Japan. Her grandfather trained Andy, and she herself has a bit of a crush on the man herself. Best known for her outfit (or [[Stripperific|lack thereof]]). Her main mode of attack are folding fans she carries.}}
* [[Action Girl]] <- -> [[Faux Action Girl]]: ''Really'' depends on which media we're talking about. She's more competent in the games, whereas in the anime, she suffers a ''bad'' case of [[Chickification]]

* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: "[[Ominous Latin Chanting|Dies Irae]]" in ''Fatal Fury 2'' and ''Fatal Fury Special''. "[[Ominous Latin Chanting|Lacrimosa]]" in the ''Real Bout'' series.
* [[Ret Canon]]: Originally, Krauser was simply a rival crimelord whom Geese was afraid to take on. The anime specials established Krauser and Geese's relationship as that of {{spoiler|half-brothers}}, and SNK went with this scenario for the games from ''Fatal Fury Special'' and onward.
* {{spoiler|[[Self-Made Orphan]]: Killed his father to become the Earl of Strolheim. Subverted in that he didn't hate Krauser Sr., he just did it because he had to}}.
Line 351 ⟶ 352:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: His dad is Japanese, his mom is American.

==
{{quote|In the first anime special, she first appears a young girl whom Geese forces to get involved in the circumstances that lead to Jeff Bogard's death. Flash forward to ten years, and we see her as the "Queen of South Town", a beautiful [[Femme Fatale]] who deep down still feels guilty for the part she took in the aforementioned tragedy.}}
Line 823 ⟶ 824:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Oh God, does she get broken...
** {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie]]}}

Line 892 ⟶ 893:
* [[She's Got Legs]]: She's actually introduced [[Male Gaze|legs first]] (that one's kinda justified as that particular take also included Jae Hoon, who's a very short kid back then).
* [[Shiho Niiyama]]: Her seiyuu. She [[Talking to Himself|also]] [[Cross-Dressing Voices|voices]] young Jae Hoon.
* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: When Kim is being trounced by {{spoiler|Cyber Cheng}}, Joe gets pissed off and decides to help; however, Terry asks Joe to not intervene because doing so would crush the faith of Myeng Swuk and (most importantly) Kim's sons.
