[[Captain Obvious|The characters of]] ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' [[Captain Obvious|will be listed here]].
Characters are listed by game of introduction.
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
== Terry Bogard ==
* [[Animal Motifs]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]
* [[Cartwright Curse]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]
* [[Char Clone]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Jeff.
* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: Kazukiyo Nishikiori, Terry's seiyuu for the animated features, sings "Yoake no Legend" ("Legend of Dawn"), the ending theme of [[The Movie]].
* [[Eagle Land]]: He tends to be a bit of a mix. On the one hand, he's boisterous, proud, and wears stereotypical American clothes. On the other hand, he's largely self-sufficient, at least partially self-taught, and is not only a good guy, but is considered one of the most important characters in the games.
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: The anime version of him. See [[Cartwright Curse]] above.
** [[Her Heart Will Go On|His Heart Will Go On]]: ''Twice'', in fact. [[Iron Woobie|Poor guy]]. Just be thankful that Blue Mary wasn't introduced, or she too may have been subjugated to this.
* [[The Hero]]: Terry is credited for having repeatedly saved South Town by defeating Geese, Krauser, the Jin Twins and Kain respectively.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]
* [[I Don't Know Mortal Kombat]]: [[media:TerryPlaysAOFs.jpg|There's one official art]] that portrays him having a hard time [[Shout-Out|playing]] ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' at an arcade (though, strange enough, [[Pac-Man Fever|he complains at the demonstration screen]]). [[The Movie]] has a very similar scene where he plays a fighting game in [[Shout-Out|Neo-Geo Land]], and loses, something that a little kid [[Lampshade Hanging|points out]].
** For bonus points, ''Art of Fighting'' 's John Crawley is playing ''Fatal Fury 2'' next to Terry in said artwork.
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]: The Power Dunk is a modified slam dunk.
* [[Ki Attacks]]: Nearly all of his attacks weaponize Ki, including both his signature specials: the Power Wave and his Burn Knuckle.
* [[
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: ''Extremely'' popular among [[Gamer Chick]]s and gay/bi male gamers. [[Heroic Build|One]] [[Hair of Gold|wonders]] [[Nice Guy|the]] [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|reasons]] [[Badass|why]].
* [[Nice Hat]]: That falls off when defeated. He [[Flung Clothing|flings it off]] when he wins.
** [[Tragic Keepsake]]: According to the intro of ''Wild Ambition'' as well as the first [[Anime of the Game|anime specials]], the hat [[It Was a Gift|was a gift]] from his [[Disappeared Dad|deceased adoptive father Jeff]] [[You Killed My Father|after he was killed by Geese]]. Terry later presents it to Rock, and the kid has cherished it ever since.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: What gets him outta his drunken funk in the second OVA is seeing Tony get pummeled by Axel Hawk.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: After he [[Happily Adopted|adopts]] Rock.
* [[
* [[Spirited Competitor]]
* [[Tears of Blood]]: In the movie, {{spoiler|after Sulia's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}. Even better, they appear to be mixed with bluish ki. He quickly gets over his [[Heroic BSOD]] (to the point that he's shown to be visibly angry and ''[[Oh Crap|bearing fangs]]''). [[Let's Get Dangerous|Oh, you've done it now...]]
== Andy Bogard ==
{{quote|
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Celibate Hero]]
** 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
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]
* [[Ki Attacks]]
* [[McNinja]]
* [[The Rival]]: To Terry. He's not the ''only'' one, but Terry recognizes Andy as his most legitimate and fiercest rival.
** In Hokutomaru's ending from ''Garou'', Andy praises his disciple for his growth as a fighter, but then states that their relationship is no longer that of master and student, but that of two rivals.
* [[Ship Tease]]
* [[
* [[
== Joe Higashi ==
{{quote|
* [[Anime Hair]]: Joe's hair is basically a bunch of spikes, which have steadily grown taller with each new game.
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Arrogant Muay Thai Guy]]
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: While the Bogard brothers are typically reserved, Joe is the good-natured braggart of their group.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]
* [[Demoted to Extra]]
* [[Hachimaki]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]/[[Spam Attack]]: Which perfectly describes Joe's TNT punch, though it lacks the vacuum effect of Ryo Sakazaki's "Zanretsuken".
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
== Duck King ==
{{quote|
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[But Not Too Black]]
* [[Cool Pet]]
* [[Cool Shades]]: Duck is never seen without his trademark blue rayban sunglasses.
** [[Sunglasses
* [[Dance Battler]]
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Fun Personified]]: Duck isn't in it for the money, the King of Fighters Tournament simply gives him a venue to show off his dance moves and promote his club.
* [[Head Pet]]
* [[Matt Hill]]
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: The only time you'll see a frown on his face is when he loses. Though, in later games, he simply shrugs it off.
* [[Yuji Mitsuya]]: Seiyuu for [[The Movie]].
== Richard Meyer ==
{{quote|
* [[The Cameo]]
* [[Chef of Iron]]
* [[Dance Battler]]

* [[Extremity Extremist]]
* [[Mentors]]
* [[Put
== Tung Fu Rue ==
{{quote|
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Due to hilarious [[Bowdlerization]] of his win quotes.
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Senpu Ken and Senpu Gou Ken is him spinning himself around like a dervish.
* [[Old Master]]
* [[
* [[Shout-Out]]
* [[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 ==
{{quote|
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Arrogant Muay Thai Guy]]
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After years of antagonism, he finally buried the hatchet with Joe. However, he hasn't given up on trying to defeat him. The difference being that now he's motivated by sportsmanship.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]
* [[Drunken Master]]
* [[Super Mode]]

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Land Down Under]]: His character bio says he's from Australia, but missing the accent.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Had an actual English VA.
== Billy Kane ==
{{quote|
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: To his sister Lilly. Needless to say, he ''does not'' approve of Joe and Lilly dating.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Well, not so much "[[Evil Brit]]" as morally ambiguous.
* [[Daiki Nakamura]]
* [[The Dragon]]
** [[Dragon Their Feet]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]/[[Surprisingly Good English]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Morality Pet]]
* [[Nice Hat|Nice Bandanna]]
* [[No Smoking]]: His one pet peeve. He wears the sign on the back of his jacket and [[Berserk Button|will knock the block off of anyone who blows smoke in his face]]. The only exception to this rule would seem to be Geese.
* [[Paul Dobson]]: Dub voice for the animated adaptations.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: All of his DM and HDM techs ignite his staff to deal insane amounts of damage. In certain installments, several of his standard specials also set his opponent ablaze when they connect.
** [[Ring of Fire]]: His max technique.
* [[Punny Name]]
** ...
* [[Shirtless Scene]]
* [[Shout-Out]]
* [[Simple Staff]]
* [[Super Strength]]
* [[Wearing a Flag
* [[The Worf Effect]]
== Geese Howard ==
{{quote|
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: He's the head of the Howard Connection for a reason: because he has extensive underworld connections and influence among Southtown's top politicians and law enforcement. ''And'' he's capable of channel vast amounts of Ki to supplement his mastery of both Hyakyoku Seiken and Kubojutsu.
** [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Battle Aura]]
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Disney Villain Death]]
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Executive Suite Fight]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Has a nasty scar on his back from the survival of his first fall. He also has a gaping slash mark going across his chest, believed to have been inflicted by {{spoiler|Krauser when Geese had attempted to kill their father}}.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: Maniacal grin, actually: Geese sees his death as the last slap in Terry's face, and he lets it show as he falls.
* [[Hidekatsu Shibata]]: Seiyuu in the anime special and [[The Movie]].
* [[Immortality]]: Speculation rages over whether Geese received immortality from the Jin scrolls.
* [[Ki Attacks]]
* [[Leitmotif]]/[[Bootstrapped Theme]]
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]
* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]]
* [[Occidental Otaku]]
* [[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 Cat]]: He's dead here, alive in ''The King of Fighters'', and dead ''again'' in ''The King of Fighters: [[Alternate Continuity|Maximum Impact]]''.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: From ''3'' onwards, Geese never wore the top of his dogi, arguably thrusting him into the land of [[Walking Shirtless Scene]].
* [[Shock and Awe]]: His Raimei Gouha Nage special throw and his Thunder Break super.
* [[SNK Boss]]: [[Trope Namer]] and one of the two main [[Trope Codifier]]s.
* [[The Syndicate]]: Howard Connection is this, although Geese fools the people by using his seemingly benevolent actions and the police force as a front.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Rare steak.
* [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head|Wearing A Flag On Your Back]]: For his first appearance only, the American flag was plastered onto the back of Geese's dogi.
* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: The fight against Nightmare Geese is heavily implied to be one big nightmare. That doesn't stop him from being a nightmare of the ''[[SNK Boss|other]]'' variety though.

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Averted and then sent on a one-way trip to space. [[Hot Mom|Myeng Swuk is a looker]], [[Hot Dad|but so is he!]]
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: In his debut, Kim was given a rather youthful voice. Around ''Fatal Fury Special'', Hashimoto switched to a much deeper tone.

* [[Badass Beard]]/[[Perma-Stubble]]: In ''Wild Ambition''. It is ''glorious''.

* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: His dad is Japanese, his mom is American.
* [[The Cameo]]: As said above, his inclusion in ''Special'' [[The Unexpected|came out of nowhere]].

* [[Expy]]: Shares [[Hot-Blooded|quite]] [[Badass|a]] [[Rule of Funny|few]] [[Eighties Hair|traits]] with [[Segata Sanshiro]].
* [[Hammerspace]]: One of his winposes has him pull out a wooden panel as big as he is. Fine and dandy until [[Fridge Logic|you realize the implications]] of [[Willfully Weak|him being as competent a fighter as everyone else]], [[With My Hands Tied|even though he carries several pounds of wood underneath his dogi]].
* [[Hermit Guru]]: Deliberately lives and trains in a forest, away from the city, with the aforementioned bear.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Played both for laughs and seriously.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]: Full force.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Hopefully, he's joking, but the sight of Tizoc makes Marco hungry. He mistakes him for a giant poultry.
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: His Zanretsuken move is a staple of Kyokugenryu Karate.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: [[All There in the Manual|His profile specifically mentions]] a tendency to cry while reading Disney picture books.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Although he's a good dude.
* [[Shotoclone]]: Has a projectile and jumping uppercut, with the [[Hurricane Kick]] being replaced by the standard Kyokugenryu Hien Shippuu Kyaku (plus, his own variation where he travels up instead of forward).

* [[SNK Boss]]
* [[Spirited Competitor]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Beef stew.

== Kain R. Heinlein ==
{{quote|
* [[Anti-Villain]]:
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
** Actually, Kain is more balanced than Grant. His only advantage is that his T.O.P extends to ''the size of his lifebar'' when you win the first round against him.
* [[Badass in
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Blood Brothers]]: He's sworn an oath of eternal allegiance with Grant, as seen in a special intro pose.
* [[Dark Messiah]]: Kain's motive is to build a better Southtown through trial by conflict.
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: His ''older'' sister Marie}}.
* [[Expy]]: [[Fist of the North Star|Shin]], is that you?
* [[Gratuitous German]]: His moveset is completely written (and for the most part, [[Calling Your Attacks|shouted]]) in German, and attacks like Schwarze Flamme and Schwarze Panzer lead to [[Mondegreen|humorous misunderstandings]] like "Shirt Flake!" and "Shirt Hunter!".
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: {{spoiler|His sister Marie's death}} was his [[Start of Darkness]].
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Is Marie Howard's younger brother, thus making him Rock's [[Evil Uncle|uncle]]}}.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]
* [[Misanthrope Supreme]]: Looks down upon anyone who isn't a fighter.
* [[My Rules Are Not Your Rules]]: Aside from the T.O.P. bar thing above, Kain is [[Charged Attack|charge-type]] fighter. Kain somehow doesn't seem to care while fighting you, as he can use said attacks ''while walking towards you''. Being a [[SNK Boss]], this is ''entirely'' intentional.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Wields blue flames (purple in-game) similar to those of the Orochi.
** Of course... some circles believe him to have ties to Orochi.
* [[Shout-Out]]
** [[Cain and Abel]], anyone? It's [[In Name Only]], but still...
* [[SNK Boss]]
* [[Social Darwinist]]
