* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Terry's [[Cartwright Curse]] in the anime trilogy, borders highly on [[Never Live It Down]]; when people think of his love life they often think of his dead love interests in the anime a lot more than Blue Mary, his perfectly alive one in the games
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: All the soundtracks, really.
* [[Complete Monster]]: White from ''Real Bout Dominated Mind''. When you, a one-shot villain, make Geese and Yamazaki look like saints in comparison, you know that your evil quota is a cloth cut above the rest.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]:
** Duck King, emphasis on both "crazy" ''and'' "awesome." Between the fact that he turned breakdancing into a physics-defying martial arts and the family of ducks living in his hair, Duck King was this trope from the start. Also of note... '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1NLZu1bU24 I AM DUCK KING! QWACK! QWACK! QWACK! QWACK! QWACK! QWACK!]'''
** Marco/Butt trains with a karate bear. '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzT-floFuTM A KARATE BEAR.]'''
* [[Cult Classic]]: ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves''. The fact that it's widely considered to be not only the [[Magnum Opus]] for this series, but '''[[SNK]] itself''' should tell you something.
* [[Director Displacement]]: Masami Obari didn't direct all three ''Fatal Fury'' animated properties, he only directed the movie. The two TV specials were directed by Hiroshi Fukutomi and Kazuhiro Furuhashi. Obari was an art director/character designer on all three though, which is probably where people get confused.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Several, so let's get started, shall we?
** Duck King is ''very'' popular among the [[Fandom]]. [[What Could Have Been|He would have crossed over to]] ''[[The King of Fighters
** Billy Kane. A lesser example, but a darkhorse nonetheless.
** To call Mai Shiranui this would be the understatement of the year. When excluded from the arcade ports of ''
** Kim Kaphwan, who debuted alongside Mai in ''2''. ''Fatal Fury 3'' gives us Blue Mary and Yamazaki.
** Rick Strowd. Some haven't taken kindly to the fact that [[The King of Fighters
** At least ''half'' of the ''Garou'' cast. Rock Howard (who, as [[The Hero]] of ''Garou'', is more of a meta example for the SNK fandom), Bonne Jenet, Gato, Hotaru, Tizoc, Khushnood Butt... In fact, the ''only'' thing that's stopping Rock from crossing into the main ''
** From ''[[The Movie]]'', we have Jamin. A lot of fans want to see him in an actual SNK fighter as a [[Canon Immigrant]].
* [[Epileptic Trees]]
** Many believe Yamazaki to be the "Gym Buster" referenced in Butt's ending from ''Garou''.
** A good number of fans see some sort of connection between Rick Strowd and [[The King of Fighters
** Billy Kane's father is (allegedly) the pilot from ''[[Prehistoric Isle]]''.
***
* [[Fountain of Memes]]: Terry. In fact, you'll be hard-pressed to find a meme that ''isn't'' about him saying something.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: Aerial Canceling, where you could cancel a jump into a special move, was already known to the developers but left in the game because an SNK higher-up thought it made the fighting look more frantic. This technique would be tweaked a bit and appear as part of the mechanics in ''[[
* [[He's Just Hiding]]: Kim was defeated by Freeman before the events of ''Garou'' and apparently goes missing. He shows up to berate his son Dong Hwan under certain circumstances
* [[Love to Hate]]: Geese has done terrible things over the course of the series but is ''beloved'' by the fandom (not unlike [[The King of Fighters
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Geese Howard.
** Laocorn Gaudeamus from ''Fatal Fury: [[The Movie|The Motion Picture]]'' also qualifies, even if {{spoiler|he's possessed by Mars}}.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: This applies more to ''
** Depending on the fandom, Terry and Joe also qualify.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: [[Fountain of Memes|Expect anything Terry says to achieve this status.]]▼
* [[Memetic Molester]]: Hotaru Futaba, thanks to one of her supers, Flying Queen of Chaos, wherein she kicks you upward, rides you to the ground and.... uh... seems to press your chest, draining your health and chi. Of course the animation makes it more look like she's RAPING you. Now it's hard to look at that move as anything OTHER than full bore molestation. Not to mention Hotaru's animations after the chi burst resemble something akin to post-orgasm bliss.
▲* [[Memetic Mutation]]: [[Fountain of Memes|Expect anything Terry says to achieve this status.]]
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: The famous red hat, red jacket, white undershirt, and blue jeans. Terry changes wardrobe largely in ''Mark of the Wolves'', wherein he gives the hat to Rock and swaps out the sleeveless red coat for a brown, sleeved one.
* [[Moe]]: Hotaru. Dear God, ''Hotaru''. It doesn't hurt that she's also '''the''' [[The Woobie|Woobie]] of the series.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]:
** REPPUKEN! REPPUKEN! REPPUKEN! DOUBLE REPPUKEN!
** The "OOOOOOOUUUUUUAAAAAAAAGH" sound Andy makes when you hit him. Not so prevalent here but it cropped up quite a bit in early ''
* [[That One Boss]]: Geese in ''Fatal Fury 3''.▼
* [[Narm]]: Come on, the anime movies are full of this. From Terry's ridiculously exaggerated [[Heroic BSOD|Heroic B.S.O.D]]. and resulting alcoholism because he lost ''ONE FIGHT'' in the second film, to the indescribably cheesy ending music in the third one.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Overlaps with [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]. After you beat White, ''Dominated Mind'' shows a cutscene of him falling to the ground in defeat. He tries to get up, and when he opens his eyes, ''they're nothing but [[Hellish Pupils|blank red spheres]]''. [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Brrr...]] ▼
* [[Older Than They Think]]: ''Mark of the Wolves'' is commonly called a ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' ripoff for its smooth animation and replacing the entire cast with the exception of the main character, but few know that ''[[Art of Fighting]] 3'' had done the same before either of them.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: Part of Rock Howard's theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flPBoVYkyx4 "Spread the Wings,"] is taken from Robert Miles's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCbO-3hjPok "Children."] It's purely intentional, as the composer is a fan of Miles.
▲* [[That One Boss]]: Geese in in general, but especially in ''Fatal Fury 3''.
▲* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Overlaps with [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]. After you beat White, ''Dominated Mind'' shows a cutscene of him falling to the ground in defeat. He tries to get up, and when he opens his eyes, ''they're nothing but [[Hellish Pupils|blank red spheres]]''. [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|
* [[The Unexpected]]: Nobody expected Richard Meyer to return in ''Maximum Impact 2'' as a playable fighter.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Jin Chonshu. He looks like a little girl, but is actually male. To make it worse, in some of the games, he seems to be wearing lipstick and [[Guyliner]]...
* [[Woolseyism]]: Krauser's line "Blood is thick, but syrup is thicker. Think about it."
