Fighting Clown: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

* Most of the original ''[[Street Fighter]]'' characters have deeper motivation for fighting. Zangief, on the other hand, is a bear wrestler in a speedo who dances with Gorbachev in his ending.

** Regarding ''[[Street Fighter]]'', by the time of Alpha, Blanka seems to have solidly taken over that role. Among other things, he has become [[The Unintelligible]] in the storyline, he befriended Dan, and one of his super moves is shaking fruit from a tree.

** Dan started out as a [[Joke Character]] with occasional hints of [[Lethal Joke Character]], but since he was made more balanced in ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'' he's been leaning more towards a [[Fighting Clown]].

* In ''[[Tatsunokovs Capcom (Video Game)|Tatsunokovs Capcom]]'' there are ''four'' of these characters. One in the [[Tatsunoko Production|Tatsunoko]] side, and three in the [[Capcom]] side. In the Tatsu side we have [[Hakushon Daimao]], a fat, comical [[Genie in A Bottle|genie]] that comes from a comedy anime instead of an action/mecha one, [[Non Standard Character Design|looks much more cartoonier]] than his other fellow Tatsunoko characters, fights with [[Improbable Weapon User|a hand on a stick]], and one of his supers involves [[Fartillery|farting on the enemy]]. In the [[Capcom]] side we have [[Viewtiful Joe]], [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Roll]], a robot modeled after a little girl who fights with a [[Improbable Weapon User|broom]], and [[Dead Rising|Frank West]], a photographer whose attacks involve baseball bats, supermarket carts, zombies, among many other things.

** ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' brings [[Deadpool]] into the mix. While his moves are only slightly unorthodox, the voice clips that accompany them are hilarious. As of ''[[Updated Rerelease|Ultimate]]'', we also have Frank West returning, and lastly [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]], who doesn't do anything you would expect from a fighting game character. All of his attack animations are of lawyery stuff, like reading documents. Even his level 3 hyper is merely accusing the opponent of a crime. They still do damage, though, and in the case of the latter it's the single most damaging move ''in the game''.

* In ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' we have Bo'Rai Cho (a [[Punny Name|pun]] on the Spanish word "borracho", [[Meaningful Name|which means "drunkard"]]), a pudgy [[Old Master]] who [[Drunken Master|gets drunk in order to fight well]] and is [[Toilet Humour]] personified. He has an attack where he [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|vomits on the enemy]], and a fatality where he, yup, you guessed it, ''[[Overly Long Gag|farts]]'', only this time he [[Farts On Fire|lights his fart]], which is so massive it engulfs the opponent in fire.

** There's also Mokap, a guy in a motion capture suit who attacks by throwing little white balls at people.
