Street Fighter III/Characters: Difference between revisions

== Alex - ''USA'' ==

[[File:alex_1557.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Badass Long Hair]]

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: [[Lightning Bruiser|Although some of his attacks do come out surprisingly fast]].

* [[New York City]]: He's a native and even has the accent. In his officical bio, his "special skill" is being a NY pizza connosieur.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: If he loses due to [[Cherry Tapping]] in ''3S'', Alex exclaims "Jesus!" before fainting.

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: The fur coat that he wears in some artwork. In the cancelled ''Capcom Fighting All-Stars'', he would have worn it ''[[Rule of Cool|all the time]]''.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Though his arsenal also includes other slams and wrestling moves. Of course, Alex ''is'' a wrestler. That said, some of his moves are more rooted in kickboxing.

 

 

== Dudley - ''England'' ==

[[File:dudley_9908.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Badass Back]]: The end of his Rolling Thunder Ultra ([[Subverted Trope|although we see it from his perspective]]). If only he threw the rose afterwards...

* [[Cool Car]]: Attempting to retrieve his father's prized Jaguar from Gill in ''New Generation'' is his motivation for entering the tournament.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: His win quote to Cammy -

* [[Cross Counter]]: One of his special moves, and a nowadays rare instance in which it's played straight ''and'' works.

** [[Awesome but Impractical]]: It's also the only move that can result in a K.O. for Dudley if used when at very low health since Dudley has to take damage in order for the move to trigger.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Dudley is the Blue Oni to Balrog's Red Oni. [[Department of Redundancy Department|Right down to the (default) color of their boxing gloves]].

* [[Rich Bitch|Rich Bastard]]: In ''New Generation'' and ''2nd Impact'', Dudley was kind of a dick. In ''3rd Strike'', he got better. While he still called his opponents gutter trash, he admits that he likes their style in one of his win quotes, and offers them a cup of tea to boot. Averted in ''Super Street Fighter IV'', where his win quotes are constructive criticism at worst, and outright praise at best. His [[Boss Banter|rival match quotes]] against Balrog, on the other hand, plays this straight, as these are general taunts and/or negative comments:

* [[Scary Black Man]]: Subverted.

* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]

== Yun and Yang - ''Hong Kong'' ==

[[File:yunyang_9922.jpg|frame]]

 

Yang: Kouji Tobe (SFIII: New Generation and Second Impact, Japanese); Masakazu Suzuki (SFIII: Third Impact, Chun Li's [[Street Fighter IV]] prologue and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Version, Japanese); Ted Sroka (Chun Li's [[Street Fighter IV]] prologue), [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] (Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Version, English) }}

 

 

* [[Always Someone Better]]/[[Can't Catch Up]]: Yang believes that he'll always be in his brother's shadow. Yun is well aware of this, seeing through Yang's excuses in ''3rd Strike'' and telling his brother to simply man up and fight if there's something troubling him.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: They look the same in every game they appear in, even though they are likely no older than 20.

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: Yun is consistently [[Character Tiers|top-tier]]. One of his win quotes (usually in regards to an opponent referring to him as some variant of "cheap") while [[Comically Missing the Point]] of the accusation:

* [[Tagalong Kid|Tag Along Kids]]: Sorta, in SSFIV. They heard from their [[Cool Big Sis]] Chun-Li about the tournament, and few after she leaves their place the twins follow her to see what kind of fighters they can find in their way.

* [[The Quiet One]]: Yang.

== Ibuki - ''Japan'' ==

[[File:ibuki_796.jpg|frame]]

 

 

 

* [[Anime Hair]]

* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Mostly does the ninja thing out of a commitment to her family and not because she likes the work. She'd much rather live the life of a normal teenage girl.

* [[Instant Costume Change]]: She only takes an instant--and [[Smoke Out|a puff of smoke]]--to switch between her ninja attire and her casual clothes.

* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Her ''2nd Impact'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YUJJqUU3GQ stage theme], interestingly enough, sounds ''a lot'' like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKsVhyiISY8 "Copacabana"] by Barry Manilow.

* [[Joshikousei]]: Her alternate outfit in ''SSFIV''.

* [[Ninja]]: [[Shown Their Work|And in a rare display of getting facts right]], Ibuki is actually wearing an outfit typical of ''real'' ninja and [[Distaff Counterpart|kunoichi]].

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: She [[Lampshade Hanging|actually comments on it]] in ''SSFIV''.

* {{spoiler|[[Parental Abandonment]]:}} In the ''Street Fighter Legends'' manga by UDON. {{spoiler|She was an abandoned infant found by the Geki Clan of ninjas and nearly was inducted into the clan, had her (future) sensei not had a change of heart and ran off with Ibuki and raised her as his daughter.}}

* [[The Rival]]: Makoto.

== Necro - ''Russia'' ==

[[File:necro_3045.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Bald of Awesome]]

* [[Gratuitous English]]: For a Russian guy, he seems to only speak [[Surprisingly Good English]].

* [[Heroic Albino]]: Despite his bizarre looks, he's very much a good fellow, although perhaps some of his win quotes would lead you to think [[Evil Albino|otherwise]]...

* [[Hidden Depths]]: His real goal in life? ''Opera singer''.

* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]

== Sean - ''Brazil'' ==

[[File:sean_9267.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[All Just a Dream]]: His ending in ''3rd Strike''; in this case, a severe beating-induced dream.

== Oro - ''Brazil'' ==

[[File:oro_4939.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Bald of Awesome|(Almost) Bald Of Awesome]]: He has a few remaining hairs on his head, but they can likely be counted on a single hand.

== Elena - ''Kenya'' ==

[[File:elena_2986.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Against the Setting Sun]]: Her stage in ''Third Strike'', set on the Kenyan savanna, features an enormous hazy sunset.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Gratuitous English]]: Kenyan by birth and educated in France, Elena still calls out most of her attack names in English. She's even [[Lampshade Hanging|polite enough to point it out]] in one of her ''3rd Strike'' win quotes:

** Justified, as English is one of the two official Kenyan languages, along with Swahili, which she also uses in her intro - a cheery "jambo!" (hello!).

* [[Healing Factor]]: Elena is the only ''Street Fighter'' character who has the ability to use Healing, a Super Art which allows her to regain up to 1/3 of her life energy bar if given the opportunity.

== Gill - ''Unknown'' ==

[[File:gill_9627.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: He's egomaniac with Messiah complex, and all round not a very nice guy, but despite that still manages to be a least condescending villain in the series. Also has an odd tendency to throw fights he doesn't care about, such with Alex.

* [[A God Am I]]: His win quote in Japan, even in time out?

* [[An Ice Person]]: Gill [[Combo-Platter Powers|combines this with]]...

** [[Playing with Fire]]

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Gill is presented as an idealistic leader who wish to become a benevolent World Monarch over his chosen people. However, his cult uses kidnapping, coercion, DNA manipulation, [[Brainwashing]], and extreme force in order to select the worthy subjects that would eventually repopulate Earth... [[The End of the World as We Know It|What is left of it]]. [[Utopia Justifies the Means|All for the Greater Good of Mankind]], of course. Gill himself [[Lampshade Hanging|comments]] on this:

 

----

== Urien - ''Egypt'' ==

[[File:urien_5467.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: See his quote above.

== Remy - ''France'' ==

[[File:remy_8402.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]]: He was designed to resemble SNK characters like Iori Yagami.

** [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: Which is a little strange, seeing as how Dudley, Alex and Hugo speak in the appropriate language (and corresponding accent) to their nationalities....

* [[Hypocrite]]: Due to the fact that his father abandoned him and his sister in order to pursue the art of a true warrior, Remy has a deep seated hatred for all street fighters. Yet he's on his personal mission of searching the Globe for World Warriors to defeat. ''[[You Are What You Hate|By street fighting the Hell out of them]]'', of course. This winquote says it all.

* [[Ki Attacks]]: Being his moveset mostly ripped off from Charlie/Guile, he comes complete with projectile-throwing abilities. What's interesting about it is that, much like Sagat, he can choose to throw those Sonic Boom lookalike both high or low from the ground.

* [[Light Is Good|Light]] [[Light Is Not Good|Is]] [[True Neutral|Neutral]]: [[Above Good and Evil|He has no care in the world for the notions of good and evil]], [[It's All About Me|only looking out for number one]]. He also uses [[Light'Em Up|light]], [[Ki Attacks|not ki]], as a projectile.

== Q - ''Unknown'' ==

[[File:q_408.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: A trenchcoat and fedora.

== Makoto - ''Japan'' ==

[[File:makoto_1553.jpg|frame]]

 

 

 

* [[Angry Eyebrows]]: Most noticeable during her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=r2a4cxvp5KY#t=135s win pose] in Super Street Fighter IV, where she looks like an [[Angry Birds|Angry Bird]] coming straight for you.

== Twelve - ''Russia'' ==

[[File:twelve_6270.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: His win quotes are in binary, translating into such things as "EZ JOB", "PAIN", etc.

== Hugo - ''Germany'' ==

[[File:hugo1_4801.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: A regular ([[Giant Mook|giant]]) [[Mooks|mook]] in the ''[[Final Fight]]'' games, he becomes part of the main roster in the ''III'' games, and is the first character introduced in ''III'' featured in ''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos]]''.
