Line 48:
* [[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:
* [[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:
* [[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 120:
* [[Schrodingers Cat]]: Died in the first anime special, but is still alive in the game series.
* [[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:
* [[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:
{{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 211:
{{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]]

Line 332:

* [[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:
* [[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]].
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Luckily, ''Fatal Fury Special'' and ''Art of Fighting 2'' are the final games in which Ryo still has a mullet.

* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]]: Of [[Street Fighter II|Chun-Li]]... [[Averted Trope|except not

* [[Eiji Takemoto]]: His seiyuu's first famous role.
** '''[[Ace Attorney|OBJECTION!!!]]'''
Line 682:
* [[Maniacal Laugh]]
* [[Mistaken Identity]]: He's ''extremely'' reminiscent of Iori Yagami from ''The King of Fighters''.
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Hilariously]], Iori's new moveset in ''The King of Fighters XII'' has fans now claiming Iori to be an [[Expy]] of Freeman.

* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Light-brown and black.
Line 892:

* [[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. Cue to a shot of Myeng Swuk staring at her husband's fight and holding her scared kids comfortingly, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|completely focused on staying calm and on trusting Kim no matter what
