Line 88:
* [[Beam Spam]]: Hanmen no Asura, and to far bigger degree... Yuga.
* [[The Beast Master]]: Nakoruru (with Mamahaha), Purple Nakoruru/Rera (with Shikuru), Galford (with Poppy), Cham Cham (with Paku Paku), Genjuro and Kyoshiro (with unnamed frogs), Mizuki (with Maju/Haon in ''Samurai Shodown RPG''), Bizuki (with Haon in ''Samurai Shodown RPG''), Rimururu (with Konru), Rinka (with Tetsunosuke), Mina (with Champuru).
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]:
** Brutally averted in ''Samurai Shodown V Special'' onward, where all female characters, even the
* [[Become a Real Boy]]: Rasetsumaru plans to do this by killing Haohmaru and taking his place.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Enja.Kazuki's Insanity Awakening (if you thought he couldnt get any more insane). Rasetsumaru's Death Curse move (he cuts himself to increase own rage).
Line 151:
* [[Classic Villain]]: Amakusa, being the first boss in series, and afterwards a recurring character.
* [[Clifftop Caterwauling]]: Galford's and Sieger's ''Samurai Shodown II'' endings.
*Clothing Damage: Female characters are subject to this from Samurai Shodown V onward, when they are killed by fatalities; their clothes will be cut off by the fatal attack, exposing their underwear and / or breasts before they collapse dead.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Jushiro. His main hobbies are dreaming and watching the clouds.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Hanzo, Jushiro and Sankuro.
Line 269 ⟶ 270:
* [[Fallen Angel]]: Asura.
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Amakusa, after his historical death. Because he made [[Deal with the Devil]].
* [[Fan Service]]: Almost entirely avoided in the first, third and fourth games (the second game had Cham Cham). Then came [[Stripperiffic|Mina]], who fights dressed in a bikini and wraparound skirt, and let's not even talk about [[Ninja Maid|Iroha]], whose special attack involves her getting her opponent behind two shoji doors, stripping naked and then beating up the enemy
* [[Fartillery]]: One of Earthquake's grapples. ''Literally''. Slashing wrong image in his dublication technique also leaves a gas bomb, as opposed to Hanzo's fire bomb or Galford's electric bomb.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Earthquake, the 1,380-pound ninja. From Texas. One hundred years before Texas existed. In his profile, it's stated that he likes people fatter than he is, and dislikes "skinny people".
Line 524 ⟶ 525:
* [[Out of Focus]]: Cham Cham, although popular, has only appeared in a few games. Also. Earthquake and Gen-an, followed by other "lost after ''Samurai Shodown II''" characters such as Wan-fu, Sieger and Nicotine.
** Asura appeared in only one game of series, and got a cult following... the demand for him was so high thar developers were forced to include him to ''Neo Geo Battle Coliseum''. Also true for Shiki, but she managed to appear in several more games before that.
* Panty Shot: In Samurai Shodown V, Mina Majikina became the first to grace the series with these; her skirt flaps up to expose her white panties when she does almost anything. Especially notable when she is killed, as her body would fall through the air with her crotch facing the screen, her white panty-clad buttocks visible.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Used in 2D games of series as a way to gradually change skin color as characters Rage more.▼
**Edge of Destiny featured this with several character redesigns (Nakoruru now wears a knee-length skirt, and Rimururu's shorts have rather large leg-holes) as well as new female character Suzu, who wears a short pink kimono dress. The girls exposed their panties fairly often in combat, and almost always when they were killed, as their dead bodies tended to sprawl on the ground with their legs spread apart.

** Another famous example of the skin-color aspect of this trope is Nakoruru. Her 2nd player palette made her look like her own [[Evil Twin]]. The idea was developed on with subsequent games, and evolved into body-sharing character Purple Nakoruru/Evil Nakoruru, and later in separate character, Rera
** In same fashion Kim Ung Che was created as "separate" character from Gaira in ''Samurai Shodown VI''.
