Line 19:
* [[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]]: In ''Mark of the Wolves'', he changes his clothes ''and'' cut his long hair.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
Line 25:
* [[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]]: Suffers from one due to {{spoiler|the [[Heroic Sacrifice|death]] of Sulia in [[The Movie]]}}. He recovers quickly, just in time to {{spoiler|''[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|curbstomp]]'' '''''[[Physical God|Mars, the God of War]]'''''}}.
* [[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.
* [[Mascot]]: This guy is the face of [[SNK]].
* [[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]].
Line 61:
{{quote|A Japanese man who is well versed in the fighting art of Muay Thai. He is the best friend and friendly rival of both Bogard brothers and helped them fight against Geese and his henchmen in the first game. After that, [[Demoted to Extra|well]]...}}
* [[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]]: 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 ''3''.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Since the ''King of Fighters'' series started, he's gone further and further into the background.
Line 71:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]: His seiyuu since ''Fatal Fury 3''.
* [[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]]
Line 80:
* [[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. [[Ranma ½|(Not ''that'' P-Chan...)]]
* [[Cool Shades]]: Duck is never seen without his trademark blue rayban sunglasses.
** [[Sunglasses at Night]]
* [[Dance Battler]]: Uses breakdancing in battle.
* [[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]]: His [[Team Pet|pet ducklings]] ride on his hair.
* [[Matt Hill]]: Dub voice for [[The Movie]].
* [[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]].
Line 103:
{{quote|An African-American boxer who seeks to test his skills out against many opponents. He competed in the first game, but after losing from within the competition, had decided to retire from mainstream fighting, though he does help train Axel Hawk from time to time.}}
* [[Blow You Away]]: He also has the Hurricane Upper, though Max's version of it is faster and stronger than Joe's.
* [[Christianity]]: Shown when he does the Sign of the Cross after winning a round.
* [[Expy]]: Anyone else getting a Mike Tyson vibe?
Line 127:
* [[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]]: Makes cameos around Joe, but never gets to fight again {{spoiler|until his [[Ascended Extra|ascension]] to ''[[The King of Fighters]] XIII''}}.
* [[Drunken Master]]
Line 145:
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Mainly as Raiden.
* [[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.
Line 163:
* [[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]]: Subverted. His last name isn't pronounced "cane" (like the weapon he uses), but "kon" or "kaan".
Line 177:
{{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 South Town'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]]: It's how he made it to the top of Southtown in the first place.
* [[Badass]]
