* ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'' (1999, [[Neo Geo]], [[Sega Dreamcast]], [[Play Station 2]])
While the last installment of the series appeared in late 1999, many of its [[Fatal Fury (Video Game)/Characters|characters]] are still widely popular today and continue to appear in a number of [[Spin
[[The Anime of the Game|Two animated TV specials]] (often mislabeled as OVAs, even though they aired on Japanese TV before getting home video releases) and [[The Movie|one animated film]] were based on the games, all including character designs by Masami Oobari. The TV specials were based on the plots of the first two games. The feature film had an original plot and villains.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Acrofatic]]: Cheng.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Despite being clearly blond in all games, Andy inexplicably appears with sky-blue hair in the first anime special.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: While the series initially shared a continuity with the ''[[The King of Fighters]]'', Geese's death in ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'' and his continued survival in the ''KoF'' series pretty much confirmed that they are separate.
* [[Anti
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Gato is ''the'' best example out there. The look, the moves, the win quotes... all of it. Laurence Blood and Rick Strowd, too.
* [[Attract Mode]]
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[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]]''.
** The first ({{spoiler|[[Femme Fatale|Lily]] [[Broken Bird|McGwire]]}}) undergoes a [[Heel Face Turn]] [[Love Redeems|after bonding and falling in love with him]], [[Redemption Equals Death|only to be killed by Geese while helping the heroes make their getaway]]. She returns as a [[Spirit Advisor]] in [[The Movie]] and [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die|remains his source of agony]] [[My Greatest Failure|throughout the trilogy]], even when she tells him that it's not his fault [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|he shouldn't mourn for her anymore]].
** 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 ''2'' and ''Special'', which were about a worldwide tournament. ''Garou'' isn't in quite the same place as the previous games, but a neighbouring city close enough to be considered an extension of it (it's even called '''Second''' Southtown).
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Kevin is basically a male version of Blue Mary. They're actually distant relatives.
* [[Distant Finale]]: All of ''Mark of the Wolves''.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In one of her supers, Hotaru Futaba straddles her rival and releases a ball of energy as she arches her back and screams. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Uhm]]...
* [[The Dragon]]: Billy Kane, Lawrence Blood, Ryuji Yamakazi, Grant and, in the anime movie, Jamin.
* [[Dramatic Deadpan]]: The announcer in ''Mark of the Wolves'' from beginning to end.
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
** 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] 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
** 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.}}
Line 95 ⟶ 94:
* [[Fixed Floor Fighting]]: Combat is possible in either the foreground or the background, but the stage itself is consistent.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Mai, Hokutomaru.
* [[Five
** Terry Bogard, [[The Hero]].
** Andy Bogard, [[The Lancer]].
Line 107 ⟶ 106:
** Andy also
* [[Genki Girl]]: Li Xianfei.
* [[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 -- Geese sees his death as the last slap in Terry's face, and he lets it show as he falls.
Line 116 ⟶ 115:
* [[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.}}
* [[Hey
* [[Highly
* [[Hot Blooded]]: Kim Kaphwan is a prime example. His son Kim Jae Hoon has tried to follow his example as much as possible... oh, and he's also got the literal fire powers, as well.
** [[Detect Evil|Evil]] [[Badass Creed|may be]] [[This Is Unforgivable!|unforgivable]], but not considering [[Nobuyuki Hiyama|Joe Higashi]]'s blood [[Large Ham|the hottest in the universe]] is [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|downright]] [[What Do You Mean
* [[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.
Line 133 ⟶ 132:
* [[Knife Nut]]: Ryuji Yamazaki, and Freeman, sort of.
* [[Kotono Mitsuishi]]: Seiyuu of Mai in the ''Fatal Fury'' anime.
* [[Leitmotif]]: 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]].
* [[Love Freak]]: Kim Kaphwan, because [[Justice Will Prevail]] and [[This Is Unforgivable!|Evil Is Unforgivable]]!
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Two examples from the movie: Panni follows Laocorn because she is in love with him; Hauer is obsessed with stealing Mai from Andy. In ''Garou'', Kain's love for his sister Marie and his despair over her apparent death is basically what turned him... {{spoiler|and Rock, apparently}}.
* [[Love Redeems]]: Lily, who worked as Geese's sort-of lady in waiting until she met Terry. {{spoiler|And ultimately, [[Redemption Equals Death]].}}
Line 145 ⟶ 144:
* [[Mis Blamed]]: ''Mark of the Wolves'' is commonly called a ''[[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|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.
* [[Moe]]: Hotaru Futaba.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Mai Shiranui has always been like this, but never as much in the ''Fatal Fury'' games as in the anime or the [[Spin
** B. Jenet probably ''does'' count, however, given Mai's absence in ''Mark of the Wolves''.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]: Sulia from the movie.
Line 169 ⟶ 168:
* [[Rank Inflation]]: The system introduced by ''Fatal Fury 3'' and kept until the end of the series.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Subversion: the red-eyed Rock Howard may be Geese Howard's son, but he rolls with Terry and his crew, and is one of the main characters in ''Mark of the Wolves''.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Terry and Andy are the main Red and Blue (respectively). The Kim brothers from ''Garou'' also fit (Jae Hoon is the collected and disciplined Blue while Dong Hwan is the over-confident and arrogant Red).
* [[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.
Line 192 ⟶ 191:
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves''.
* [[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 Special'' was a very different game from the original ''Real Bout'' 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 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, begrudingly.}}
* [[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 ''2''}}. It also deals with the events leading up to and after ''MotW'', including Terry's feelings on his life's journey {{spoiler|and Rock's decision to join Kain after the tourney}}.
