{{quote|''Are you ok?!''}}
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Big Eater]]: Li Xiangfei is basically always eating.
* [[Bishonen]]: Andy Bogard, especially his anime incarnation.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Subverted; Geese is blond, but so are Andy and Terry. Of course, Kain is blond
* [[Blood Brothers]]: Grant and Kain R. Heinlein, who swore an oath of eternal allegiance to each other as children.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Wolfgang Krauser, who hosted the world edition of the tournament. Grant
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Ryo Sakazaki from ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' in ''Fatal Fury Special''. Geese returned as a bonus boss in ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special'', and ''Real Bout Fatal Fury 2'' had Alfred. Interestingly enough, it was Ryo's guest appearance in ''Fatal Fury Special'' that inspired SNK to create ''The King of Fighters'' series.
* [[Bruce Lee Clone]]: Averted with Hon Fu, whose actually a [[Jackie Chan]] clone. He ''does'' have the standard high-pitched [[Kiai|Kiais]] though...
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Most characters do it. Avoided by Terry in ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'', where most of the time, instead of shouting the names of his attacks, he yells things like "Rock you!" and [[Mondegreen|"Kick Bath!"]], all of which were ported to his ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' appearances from ''2002'' on.
** One exception: Terry has one special attack where he punches you, saying "Are you okay?" and then punches you with his other fist yelling "Buster Wolf!" (the name of the attack).
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Lily McGwire, Tony, Elsa, Sulia, Laocorn, Panni, Hauer and Jamin all from the anime version.
** Just to clarify, there's a Lily in the video games, but she's an unrelated character named Lil'''l'''y '''Kane''', Billy's sister who, like her bro, is a playable character in ''King of Fighters 2006''/''Maximum Impact 2''. Lily McGwire did make a cameo in the Mexican Pao Pao Cafe stage in ''King of Fighters '94''.
** The girl who appears to be going out with Terry in his ending ''Fatal Fury 2'' is named Medea, and she was originally his love interest in Gamest's manga adaptation of the first ''Garou Densetsu''. However, she is replaced a generic character in ''Fatal Fury Special''.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Many details about Krauser's backstory (such as him killing his father or being related to Geese) became game canon after the movie. There was an attempt to have him commit suicide as well, but that was abandoned. Likewise, in later games, Krauser gained the Gigatech Cyclone move, which was identical to the tornado spin attack he and Terry used in the anime, but neither had used in the game.
* [[Cartwright Curse]]: Anyone who is {{spoiler|Terry's}} [[Love Interests|girlfriend]] in the [[Anime of the Game|anime specials]] and ''[[The Movie|The Motion Picture]]''.
Line 63 ⟶ 61:
** The second ({{spoiler|[[Mysterious Waif|Sulia]] [[Plucky Girl|Gaudeamus]]}}) asks him and his friends for help with [[Cain and Abel|her maddened twin older brother]], has [[Intimate Healing]] with him, and [[Heroic Sacrifice|commits suicide]] {{spoiler|to save Terry from her brother Laocorn, who she shares a [[Psychic Link]] with}}. This leads to his short [[Heroic BSOD]], but her words {{spoiler|allow Terry to [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|utterly decimate]] '''''[[Physical God|Mars, the God of War]]'''''}}.
** Presumably, if the movies had continued, the inclusion of {{spoiler|Blue Mary}} probably would have averted this, considering that she's too much of an [[Action Girl]] to get into a dilemma. Plus, all of the [[Ship Tease]] ([[Shipping Bed Death|probably]]) wouldn't allow for it.
* [[City of Adventure]]: Southtown is where the action of all the games takes place, with the exception of ''Fatal Fury 2'' and ''Fatal Fury Special'', which were about a worldwide tournament. ''Garou'' isn't in quite the same place as the previous games, but a
* [[Combos]]: From the third game onward.
* [[Compilation Rerelease]]: ''Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 1'' (''Fatal Fury'', ''Fatal Fury 2'', ''Fatal Fury Special'' and ''Fatal Fury 3'') and ''Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 2'' (''Real Bout
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Mai is this towards Sulia in [[The Movie]]. Hokutomaru seems to view her similarly in ''Mark of the Wolves''.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Li Xiangfei, Hotaru Futaba.
Line 72 ⟶ 70:
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Panni.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Many of Terry's rivals (such as Duck King and Kim) became his friends after he beat them.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Everyone from the first game (except for the three heroes, Billy Kane, and Raiden, who undergoes a literal [[Heel Face Turn]] to become Big Bear) in ''Fatal Fury 2'', although Tung Fu Rue and Duck King would return as playable characters in ''Fatal Fury Special'' (along with Geese, who was presumed dead in ''Fatal Fury 2''). This also happened to Jubei Yamada, Big Bear and Axel Hawk after ''Fatal Fury Special''.
* [[Detect Evil]]: Kim Kaphwan and, apparently, his son Jae Hoon.
* [[Difficulty Levels]]: Up to eight, less for the earliest home versions.
Line 87 ⟶ 85:
* [[Expy]]: Geese Howard has a striking resemblance to King, the final boss of ''The Super Spy'' (see comparison [http://img88.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=superspy.jpg here]). The intro to ''Fatal Fury 3'' may be a reference to it.
** He also draws comparisons with Aussie from the Jean Claude Van Damme movie ''Bloodsport''.
** Also, Sokaku seems to be based on a [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3X7poql8fXs/SIc4ASTHrrI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/2tnkfg6AO5M/s400/1993+sengoku+2.png generic enemy]{{Dead link}} of ''[[Sengoku]] 2''.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]/[[Heel Face Turn]]: Raiden is a monster [[Heel]], but when he takes his mask off (and grows a beard), he wrestles as "Big Bear", an [[All-American Face|all-Australian face]], pulling a ''literal'' [[Heel Face Turn]].
** Later games imply that his [[Heel Face Revolving Door]] is actually a gimmick and that he's a [[Face]] in real life.
** Rock Howard pulls a [[Face Heel Turn]]... in a matter of speaking... it's revealed that {{spoiler|not only did he win the tournament in ''Mark of the Wolves'', but tournament host Kain tells him he has information about his mother supposedly being alive. Terry later finds Rock, who tells him he's going with Kain and nothing's gonna change his mind. Instead of being upset, Terry is pleased that Rock is about to forge his own destiny}}.
* [[Fake Difficulty]]: In ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'', CPU controlled characters tend to do more damage than the player with the same attacks.
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Mai
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** Terry Bogard, [[The Hero]].
** Andy Bogard, [[The Lancer]].
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
** Mai Shiranui, [[The Chick]]. [[Faux Action Girl]], [[Ms. Fanservice]] and [[Cool Big Sis]].
* [[Fixed-Floor Fighting]]: Combat is possible in either the foreground or the background, but the stage itself is consistent.
* [[Foot Focus]]: Notably, Joe Higashi and Kim, but MOST notably, Mai Shiranui in the ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'' series.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Mai, Hokutomaru.
* [[Gainaxing]]: Mai Shiranui.
** Or [[Jiggle Physics]] if you like
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]]: Terry Bogard injures his ankle right before being asked to fight Kim Kaphwan and was unable to use any sort of kicking attacks. He managed to come out on top. However, {{spoiler|his fight against Krauser did not go as well and his injured legs played a major factor in this loss}}.
** Andy also.
Line 109 ⟶ 107:
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Gato and Sokaku both have some very bad scars. Neither gets any explanation, and neither is definitively good or evil.
** Gato got 'em from his [[Disappeared Dad]]. Geese also have some: a particularly nasty one on his back from [[Disney Villain Death|surviving his fall off of Geese Tower]] and another across his upper chest (presumably from his failed attempt on his dad thanks to half-bro Krauser).
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: Maniacal grin and [[Evil Laugh|laugh]], actually
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Terry Bogard. He's TV Trope's God of it.
* [[Guest Fighter]]: Ryo Sakazaki (of ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' fame) as a hidden final boss in ''Fatal Fury Special''. Alfred the Pilot was technically created to be the main character of ''Dominated Mind'' (a remixed [[PlayStation]] port of ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special''), but most people outside Japan know him for his appearance as a secret final boss in ''[[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|Real Bout Fatal Fury 2]]''.
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Kim Dong Hwan never practices, and basically made up all his moves himself, but is on par with his dedicated, disciplined brother Jae Hoon in skill and power.
** The same applies to the Bogard Bros.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Mai Shiranui is some sort of this in the games, as evidenced by the comments of some male characters, but it's more evident in the anime series. In contrast, the also very attractive Blue Mary attracts more attention because of her job.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Sulia and later Laocorn, in the movie}}.
Line 121 ⟶ 119:
* [[Hot Dad]]: Kim, again. Specially in the movie. Also, his ''Fatal Fury Special'' intros/win poses AND ending have young Jae Hoon and Dong Hwan hanging out with their dad. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Aaaawwwww]].
* [[Hot Mom]]: Kim's wife Myeng Swuk; lampshaded in the movie, when Joe tries to flirt with her until Mai reminds him that she's married.
* [[I Don't Know Mortal Kombat]]: Demonstrated in the movie
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]: Terry's Power Dunk is said to be modified after a basketball move.
* [[Image Song]]: While not quite to the extent of ''The King of Fighters'', quite a few characters get their own songs, such as Kong Kuwata (the seiyuu of Geese) [[Killed Off for Real|fittingly singing]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqUfa6B9cY0 "Devotion: The Sunset Sky"], the song that plays during the credits of ''Real Bout Fatal Fury''. Perhaps the zaniest and best example would be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-LyKFGp4P4 "Dance de Peace!"], which involves Duck King leading Terry, Blue Mary, Mai and Xiangfei in rap while Yamazaki randomly intrudes and screams at them for not including him in the festivities. Each respective character part even incorporates parts of their past themes.
Line 141 ⟶ 139:
** The latter is a tragic example, as Hotaru fights to find her brother (heavily implied to be Gato) and reunite her family, but she either falls short or he acts like a major [[Jerkass]] to her.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Raiden/Big Bear, Franco Bash and Tizoc aka Griffon Mask.
* [[Mirror Match]]: For all the sequels. In some games, the characters even have special phrases for their alter egos, and in Geese's case, {{spoiler|his double appears in Billy's ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'' ending as an impostor}}.
* [[Mondegreen]]:
** Mai Shiranui's win quote is "Nippon ichi!" (roughly translated as "Japan is number one!"), but many fans thought she was saying "Me bouncy!" which, given her attributes, is certainly an understandable mistake.
Line 149 ⟶ 147:
* [[Mysterious Waif]]: Sulia from the movie.
* [[Ninja]]: Mai Shiranui, and later Hokutomaru, also part of the Shiranui clan. Oh, and [[McNinja|Andy]].
* [[No Koreans in Japan]]: Averted ''hard''
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Lose to Geese in the first game, and out the window you go!
* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]]: Geese, again.
* [[Numbered Sequels]]: Sort of: ''Fatal Fury 2'', ''Fatal Fury 3'' and ''Real Bout 2'', are the second, ''fourth'' and ''seventh'' games in the series, respectively...
* [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: Except for ''Fatal Fury 2'' and ''Fatal Fury 3'', all of them
* [[
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Wolfgang Krauser's [[Public Domain Soundtrack|"Dies Irae"]].
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Mai Shiranui.
Line 172 ⟶ 170:
* [[Ryu and Ken]]: Kim Dong Hwan and Kim Jae Hoon, as well as the Jin Brothers.
** Joe and Hwa count, for all of ''[[Demoted to Extra|one game]]''. In a sense, Rock could also be considered as the Ken to his father Geese.
* [[Save the Villain]]: Terry tries and fails in ''Real Bout Fatal Fury''.
* [[Secret Character]]: ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special'' had the EX characters: alternate versions of some characters that had different special moves and personality, almost as an [[Evil Twin]] (inverted with Billy, who instead has a ''Good'' Twin). [[Bonus Boss]] characters were playable in the home versions. Additionally, bosses Grant and Kain are playable with a code in ''Garou''.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: ''The Motion Picture'' pulls one. Geese, the [[Big Bad]] of the first special, and a [[He's Just Hiding|villain in hiding]] in the second, is seen training diligently in a secluded forest in order to enact his revenge on Terry. Billy Kane interrupts his training session just as Geese pulls off a [[Limit Break|Raging Storm]].
* [[Ship Tease]]: While Mai and Andy's situation is pretty much perpetual [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited love]] ever since ''Fatal Fury 3'', Terry Bogard and Blue Mary has actually had a fairly good amount of it. Not so much in ''The King of Fighters'', but still.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Kim Dong Hwan, who can shoot lightning out of his ''feet''.
* [[Shotoclone]]: Jin Chonrei, Jin Chonsu, Khushnood Butt, Hotaru Futaba.
** [[Art of Fighting|Ryo]] [[The Cameo|too]].
* [[SNK Boss]]: Geese, who started it all, Krauser (Geese's half-brother) and Kain, Geese's bitter brother-in-law. It seems to run in the family... including Geese's in-laws.
** Actually averted with Kain, who lacks any moves with absurd power or priority, has actually pretty long cooldown periods for some of his moves and is quite balanced as a player character; however, he has the ability to overpower the player as a boss easily,
* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: Sound Beach in the third game is silent until Terry's pet monkey turns on a boombox.
* [[Spam Attack]]: Several, the earliest example being Geese's Reppuken from the first game.
Line 187 ⟶ 185:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Wolfgang Krauser and Franco Bash have an American VA in the games.
** Franco's "OH MY GAWWWD!" as he loses a match has to be heard to be believed.
* [[Take My Hand]]: Terry to Geese at the end of ''Real Bout Fatal Fury''; very cynically and cruelly averted when Geese rejects the offer and allows himself to die.
* [[This Is Sparta]]: Kim Kaphwan's [[Memetic Mutation|semi-famous]] ''"EVIL IS UNFORGIVABLE!"''.
* [[Traintop Battle]]: Terry's level in the second game and ''Mark of the Wolves''.
Line 193 ⟶ 191:
* [[Twin Telepathy]]: The Jin brothers.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Cheng is a very short, very fat, very immoral... with an incredibly beautiful and affectionate wife. Averted with Kim and Myeng Swuk, since she's a [[Hot Mom]], and he's a [[Hot Dad]] with dashes of [[Hot-Blooded]] and [[Love Freak]].
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Played straight with ''Fatal Fury Special'', which was a heavily revised version of ''Fatal Fury 2'' with more characters, but mostly averted afterward. ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special'' was a very different game from the original ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'' despite its title.
* [[Victory Pose]]: A few of them rather famous like Terry's and Mai's. In most games, characters also had specific animations when losing, but Krauser, Geese, Jin Chonrei, White from the [[PS One]] ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special'' and Kain R. Heinlein, also had special ''defeat poses'', of which White's is actually ''[[Kaizo Trap|LETHAL to the player if ignored]]''.
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]: Hwa Jai in the original ''Fatal Fury''. Technically, all the fighters were "bosses" since you couldn't play as them, but the first four were easy, and then Hwa was almost unstoppable.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Kain to his nephew Rock in ''Garou''. {{spoiler|Rock accepts, begrudgingly}}.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: ''Garou: Memories of Stray Wolves'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssrgc-IqGjE part 1] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USyvyPZWltk part 2]), a bonus featurette for the [[Milestone Celebration|15th Anniversary]] of ''Fatal Fury'', features appearances from characters missing from ''Mark of the Wolves'', notably Richard Meyer, Duck King and Blue Mary. The movie reveals that {{spoiler|Krauser killed himself [[Driven to Suicide|after losing to Terry]] in ''Fatal Fury 2''}}. It also deals with the events leading up to and after ''Mark of the Wolves'', including Terry's feelings on his life's journey, {{spoiler|and Rock's decision to join Kain after the tourney}}.
