Line 26:
* [[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.
* [[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]]'''''}}.
* [[Hey
* [[The Hero]]
* [[I Don't Know Mortal Kombat]] - [[media:[[Terry Plays AO Fs]].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
** For bonus points, ''AOF'' '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]]
* [[Mascot]] - This guy is the face of [[SNK]].
* [[Mr. Fanservice]] - ''Extremely'' popular among [[Gamer Chick|Gamer Chicks]] 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.
Line 54:
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]] - He is shown training much more than Terry, but can't keep up with him.
* [[Ki Attacks]]
* [[McNinja]] - A [[Highly
* [[The Other Darrin]] - Jun Hashimoto was replaced by [[Keiichi Nanba]] post-''Special''.
* [[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]] - With Mai in the anime. The games make it more one-sided.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]] - His ''Real Bout 2'' ending pokes fun at this.
* [[White
== Joe Higashi ==
Line 126:
* [[Badass Grandpa]] - You know damn well that age is clearly not slowing this guy down.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[
* [[Old Master]]
* [[Schrodingers Cat]] - Died in the first anime special, but is still alive in the game series.
Line 149:
* [[Ascended Extra]] - After [[The Unexpected|an unexpected appearance in]] ''[[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium (Video Game)|Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium]]'', Raiden crossed over to ''KOF'' in ''The King of Fighters XII'' ([[What Could Have Been|originally]], he was to appear in '''94'', but the original idea for the England Team was axed; in ''2003'', the dev team thought Tizoc would be a better and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|more popular]] choice).
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Breath Weapon]]/[[Fire
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Expy]] - Of [[Street Fighter|Zangief]].
Line 201:
* [[Fan Nickname]] - The Pretzel for his Raging Storm super, which was made with [[Some Dexterity Required|an absurdly difficult input command]] for the sake of nostalgia.
** His ''Real Bout Special'' form's name of "Nightmare Geese" started out as this as well. ''The King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2'' [[Sure Why Not|canonized it]].
* [[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]] - Geese Howard's theme, from game to game. So far he's had [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|a kiss, soy sauce, a stiff neck, a nightmare]], [[Played for Laughs|and now mustard]].
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]] - Is a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] with shades of [[Wicked Cultured]]. Need I go on?
* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]] - Survived ''two'' falls from his tower before the third one that stuck. Or did it?
Line 213:
* [[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.
* [[Useful Notes/
* [[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.
Line 219:
* [[The Syndicate]] - Howard Connection is this, although Geese fools the people by using his seemingly benevolent actions and the police force as a front.
* [[Talking to Himself]] - Kong Kuwata voices Geese, Duck, and Richard.
* [[Throw It In]] - Geese's [[One
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Rare steak.
* [[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.
Line 245:
** Seems to overlap with [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]].
* [[Hello Nurse]] - Gets reactions from several male characters, especially in ''Fatal Fury 3''.
* [[Highly
* [[Kotono Mitsuishi]] - Her seiyuu in the anime specials.
* [[Lady in Red]]
Line 262:
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] - Mai is suppossed to be one (or at least believes to be), and to her credit, she tries hard. [[media:[[Mai Teas]].jpg|One of the official arts]] has her wearing a kimono while apparently hosting a tea ceremony for Terry and Andy, and this is invoked again in ''[[media:000s8dcq.png|The King Of Fighters: KYO]]'' during one of Kyo and Yuki's dates.
* [[What Could Have Been]] - According to some sources, the original plan was to include a male ninja in her place. One can only ''try'' imagine how different things would have been if that route had been taken back in 1992...
** Apparently, in ''Fatal Fury 3'', Mai was to be replaced by [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/snk/images/f/fb/Alice-chrysler.gif Alice Chrysler,] a female student of Kim. This idea was scrapped, and Alice herself went on to become [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/snk/images/6/6a/Alice-special1.jpg Alice Garnet Nakata] in the ''[[Spin
== Kim Kaphwan ==
Line 285:
* [[Talking to Himself]] - Satoshi Hashimoto voices Terry and Kim.
* [[Team Dad]] - To his ''entire'' Taekwondo school.
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]] - [[Catch Phrase|"Aku wa yurusan!"]] Usually coupled with a [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] [[Death Glare]].
* [[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 ''Special'', Hashimoto switched to a much deeper tone.
* [[Wearing a Flag On Your Head|Wearing A Flag On Your Back]] - The Korean flag.
Line 310:
* [[Nerd Glasses]] - Which evolve into [[Cool Shades]].
* [[The Other Darrin]] - Hashimoto was replaced by Shigefumi Nakai come ''Real Bout Special''.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]] - Sometimes his name is given in-game as "Chin."
* [[Talking to Himself]] - Jun Hashimoto voices Andy and Chin in ''2'' and ''Special''.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]] - '''AND HOW!'''
== Axel Hawk ==
Line 332:
* [[Beard of Evil]] - Sports the exact same style as [[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|Mirror Spock]], in fact.
* [[The Dragon]]
* [[
* [[Koji Totani]] - Seiyuu for the anime.
* [[Noble Demon]]
Line 342:
{{quote| The well-known and respected Earl of Stolheim in Germany {{spoiler|who happens to be the half-brother of Geese Howard}}. A cultured gentleman outside of the ring, he shows no compunction in a fight and will always commit the full extent of his ability in any battle.}}
* [[Anti
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Blood Knight]]
Line 349:
* [[Clothing Damage]] - Self-inflicted, no less! [[Lampshade Hanging|Poked at]] with his ''Real Bout 2'' ending, where his butlers become more and more PO'ed at having to refit Krauser's armor just for him to break out of it. Eventually, they [[Megaton Punch|uppercut]] him into the stratosphere.
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]] - According to ''Memories of Stray Wolves'', Krauser committed suicide sometime after his loss at the hands of Terry.}}
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]] - His head has a "X" going across it, but Krauser is not a [[X Marks the Hero|hero]].
* [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]] - Seiyuu in the anime special.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] - {{spoiler|Apparently, Geese is his half-brother.}}
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Noble Demon]] - To a degree. He's not ''evil'' per se, just a major [[Combat Pragmatist]] who doesn't have any mercy on his opponents, yet is more or less pleasant while not fighting.
Line 366:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]] - It does help that his VA, B.J. Love, is a native speaker of English.
* [[Talking to Himself]] - B.J. Love also voices Franco Bash.
* [[Throw It In]] - The [[
* [[What Could Have Been]] - The finale of the second anime special originally would have been Krauser up against not only Terry, but Andy, Joe, and Mai as well. This concept was scrapped, but resurfaced in ''[[The Movie|The Motion Picture]]''.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]
Line 397:
* [[Canine Companion]] - Her pet dog Antonio (or Anton for short). Tends to pop up in several of Mary's poses.
* [[Expy]] - Clearly modeled after [[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Android 18]]. [[Word of God]] confirms.
* [[Face Heel Turn]] - Not canonically, but her EX version from ''Real Bout Special'' depicts what would happen if Mary ever went bad and became a sexbomb sadist. She clearly is a [[Mix and Match]] of [[Dark Action Girl]] and [[Femme Fatale]]/[[The Vamp]]/[[The Baroness]]. EX Blue Mary even wears [[Lady in Red|a red jacket]] and [[Black Bra and Panties|a black bra]]. Her ending shows her desire to make Terry into her "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|pet.]]" When Joe volunteers to also be her pet ([[Evil Is Sexy|and who could blame him?]]), she retorts that he already is one.
* [[Femme Fatale]] - Subverted. She appears to be one at first, but it turns out that she's actually a kind-hearted [[Action Girl]].
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
Line 496:
* [[Anime Hair]] - And it's [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue]] with [[Multicolored Hair|yellow streaks]]!
* [[Anti
* [[Big Brother Instinct]] - Doubles as a [[Berserk Button]] and crosses into [[Knight Templar Big Brother]] territory; the guy ''will'' snap if you defeat Chonshu, but not before calling you "[[Narm|mousse-head]]."
* [[Chinese People]]
Line 548:
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[SNK Boss]] - Can't jump, duck, dash, or block, but has high priority over ''everything''.
* [[Taking You With Me]] - [[Kaizo Trap|After being beaten]], White fires a desperation attack that kills your character instantly if it connects unless your character blocks low or jumps over it. But afterward you have a couple of seconds to [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin'|make him pay dearly for cheating against you]].
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Villain From Nowhere]] - White appeared in one game with little storyline justification and hasn't been seen since.
Line 571:
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Dark
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - Notice how much emphasis is put on him and Xiangfei for this game. Rick [[What Could Have Been|was considered for the lineup]] of ''The King of Fighters '99'', but was ultimately passed over in favor of Xiangfei. Sadly, it seems that Rick might never make it into ''KOF'', especially with Vanessa "borrowing" his moves.
* [[Extremity Extremist]]
Line 577:
* [[Magical Native American]]
** [[But Not Too Foreign]] - His dad is a Native American, but his mom is Caucasian.
* [[Multicolored Hair]] - [[White
* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
Line 595:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
Line 667:
** [[Badass Normal]]
** {{spoiler|[[Handicapped Badass]] - Is blinded by a man who appears to be his father in his ending.}}
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]] - He's got three on his back, courtesy of his father.
** [[Achey Scars]]
* [[Jerkass]] - Wouldn't think twice to shout at his poor little sister to get the hell out.
Line 677:
{{quote| Gato's little sister who is well-versed in Chinese martial arts involving soft strikes and [[Ki Attacks|ki blasts]]. She enters the tournament hoping she could convince her brother to come back to her.}}
* [[Armor
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] - Her "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|orgasmic]]" super.
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
Line 735:
* [[Ninja]]
** [[Ninja Brat]]
* [[No Indoor Voice]] - He's not a [[Highly
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
Line 783:
{{quote| Kim Kaphwan's eldest son and Jae Hoon's brother. A slacker who uses unorthodox methods of fighting as he would prefer to hit on women than practice.}}
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]/[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] - He sure looks like a goofball but don't get him started...
* [[Embarrassing First Name]] - [[Unfortunate Names|We'll let you figure it out for yourselves.]]
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]] - Slacks off constantly yet remains a legitimate rival for his brother.
Line 803:
* [[Justice Will Prevail]] - [[Like Father Like Son]].
* [[Playing With Fire]]
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]] - "Evil cannot be forgiven!"
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
Line 830:
{{quote| Geese Howard's brother-in-law and Rock Howard's uncle. He holds the Maximum Mayhem Tournament for the strong to compete against each other. He personally fights the victor in a showdown of who's the strongest. He took over Southtown after [[Evil Power Vacuum|Geese's disappearance]] and, according to Rock's ending, was only following only the will of Geese. Despite this, he holds great contempt against Geese for taking away his sister though he doesn't show it often.}}
* [[Anti
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]] - Stronger by far than his [[The Dragon|Dragon]], despite his appearance.
** 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.
Line 842:
* [[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]].}}
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]
* [[Misanthrope Supreme]] - Looks down upon anyone who isn't a fighter.
Line 873:
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* [[Friend to All Children]] - We see that she's not [[The Vamp]] when Terry catches her giving food and money to the local street children.
* [[Hey
* [[High Heel Face Turn]]
** [[Love Redeems]]
Line 881:
* [[Kikuko Inoue]] - Her seiyuu.
* {{spoiler|[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] - In one of her and Terry's spirit talks, she explicitely tells him to stop grieving for her.}}
* [[Pimped
* {{spoiler|[[Spirit Advisor]]}}
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]
Line 897:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Hero Worshipper]] - Idolizes [[Big Brother Mentor|Terry]], which leads to a subversion when Terry goes through his drunken [[Heroic BSOD]].
* [[Hey
* [[Masami Kikuchi]] - His seiyuu.
Line 906:
* [[Healing Hands]] - Her powers.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
* [[Hey
* [[Intimate Healing]] - After Terry's first fight with Jamin, his injuries are so serious that she strips down and lays with him to let her healing take full effect. Some cuddling, a [[You Must Be Cold]] moment and a bittersweet talk take place then. [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Awwwwww.]]
* [[Half
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[Plucky Girl]] - Despite being helpless in combat, the girl keeps going on and doing her best to stop Laocorn. {{spoiler|and if she has to commit suicide to save him... she will.}}
* [[Second Love]] - To Terry. {{spoiler|Too bad she bites it, though.}}
* [[Shy Blue
* [[The Smart Guy]] - Of the [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]] kind, due to her encyclopedic knowledge about Greek myths.
* [[Tomo Sakurai]] - Her seiyuu.
Line 924:
* [[Despair Event Horizon]] - Hits the line first when {{spoiler|his and Sulia's parents are killed by their [[Smug Snake]] associate}}, and then again when {{spoiler|Sulia commits suicide to release him from Mars}}.
* [[Flash Step]]
* [[Half
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
* [[Matt Hill]] - Dub voice.
Line 944:
== Jamin ==
* [[Anti
* [[Bullet Catch]]
* [[The Dragon]]
Line 958:
== Panni ==
* [[Anti
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] - Averted, when her top gets cut by Lawrence Blood, we can clearly see a bit of nipple.
* [[Dark Action Girl]]- ''Very'' competent in combat.
Line 984:
* [[Stalker With a Crush]] - For Mai.
* [[What Could Have Been]] - Like the entry under Panni, [[Art of Fighting|Eiji Kisaragi]] was originally in place of Hauer. Given Hauer's quirks, this might have possibly been a chance to poke fun at Eiji's [[Blind Idiot Translation|English]] ''AOF2'' ending, where he proclaims his love for Mai (who, thanks to chronology, would have only been a child at the time).
* [[White
* [[Yandere]] - For Mai.
