Line 44:
* [[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.
{{quote| "At ease, loo-suh!"}}
* [[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]]''.
* [[Revenge]]: His purpose for fighting at first was to avenge the defeat of his friend Tom over Gill.
Line 62:
{{quote| ''"[[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen|Let's fight... like gentlemen]]."''}}
 
{{quote| A black British boxer... with class. Dudley is an affluent British gentleman who wants to meet Gill so he can reclaim his father's prized Jaguar, which Gill had received in a possibly illegal trade. [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|He also owns an absolutely FABULOUS and massive rose garden.]] He makes a triumphant return in ''Super Street Fighter 4'', entering the tournament to get his mind off of his father's Jaguar and to find new flowers for his garden. }}
 
* [[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...
Line 93:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[London Town]]: His ''NG/2nd Impact'' and ''Third Strike'' stages both incorporate similar English cultural iconography, including red telephone boxes, Big Ben, horse-drawn carriages and old style Mini's. His ''Third Strike'' stage also references the famous Harrod's department store in Knightsbridge.
** [[Bland -Name Product]]: ''Harrod's'' is amusingly re-branded as "Heartful", however.
* [[Useful Notes/Old British Money|Old British Money]]: Perhaps in keeping with his period look, Dudley anachronistically references "the crowds demanding their ''shillings'' back" in one of his win-quotes - a currency that hasn't been used in England for at least 40 years.
* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: His win-quotes--"The British spirit is an indomitable spirit!"
Line 100:
* [[Rated M for Manly|Rated M For (Gentle)Manly]]: It does not matter where you are, everyone seems to praise Dudley for his (gentle)manliness.
* [[Razor Wind]]: During his Corkscrew Blow super art from ''III'' and its upgraded version, the Corkscrew Cross, in ''IV''.
* [[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:
{{quote| ''"Perhaps you should hang up your gloves for good."''}}
Line 110:
* [[Stiff Upper Lip]]: He's consistently portrayed as the classic imperturbable Englishman, even when engaged in combat.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English VA.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: [[Humans Are White|And, that too]].
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Retroactively--he's ''much'' more friendly in ''Street Fighter IV,'' which is a prequel to ''III''.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: In one of his win quotes in 3S, he refers to his opponent as such: "Despite your rudeness, I like your style. Let me buy you a drink..."
Line 139:
* [[Berserk Button]]: '''Never ever''' be a threat to the security of either Hong Kong or Shanghai.
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: In-story, Yang is in love with Yun's would-be girlfriend Houmei but has pretty much accepted that [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|his feelings are unrequited.]] On the other hand, Houmei's little sister Shaomei is in love with him [[Cannot Spit It Out|but is too shy to let it show]], leading to a [[Love Dodecahedron]].
* [[Different As Night and Day]]/[[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: Yun (the Yang in this situation) is outgoing and cheery and loves to skateboard. Yang (Yin) is more introverted and prefers inline skating.
** To a degree, Yun's sort-of girlfriend and her sister too. The [[Tsundere]] Houmei is a [[Hot Blooded]] [[Lethal Chef]] who could be [[Ranma One Half|Akane Tendo]]'s [[Long Lost Sibling]], while the [[Nice Girl]] Shaomei is a softspoken [[Shrinking Violet]].
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: They started as clones of each other, to the point that they even shared the same slot in the Player Select screen. In ''2nd Impact'', they were made into separate characters with their unique movesets and Super Arts.
Line 158:
* [[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.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Yun is dressed in white, but he's the Red Oni. Yang is dressed in red, but he's the Blue Oni.
* [[The Rival]]: Both of them can be considered rivals to each other, but some of Yun's later appearances suggest rivalries with Chun-Li and Fei Long.
* [[Underestimating Badassery]]: Gill does this to them. This leads to a 2-on-1 battle where Yun and Yang battle Gill to a standstill.
Line 187:
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Hidden Elf Village|Hidden Ninja Village]]: Her stage in ''New Generation'' and ''2nd Impact''.
* [[Highly -Visible Ninja]]: Somewhat subverted, Ibuki's outfit is a more traditional type of ninja dogi. And the dull colors allows her to blend in the surroundings better. Played straight with some of Ibuki's alternate colors. One even looks like [[Naruto|Naruto Uzumaki's outfit]].
* [[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.
Line 227:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English VA.
* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Has mysterious red markings all over his body and is on the run from the authorities.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|Ugly Guy Hot Girlfriend]]: His girlfriend is Effie, a [[Perky Goth]] in [[Lady in Red|red]] [[Spandex, Latex, or Leather|latex]] with [[Girlish Pigtails]] and a [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]. It's hard to judge her age by her looks, but assuming the game takes place in the year it was released in, [[Older Than She Looks|she's 19]].
* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]: Necro has been enhanced with a built-in power generator. Also, implanted into his brain is a cybernetic computer, that helped give him his fighting abilities.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
* [[X -Ray Sparks]]
 
 
== Sean - ''Brazil'' ==
[[File:sean_9267.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| ''"Wow! [[BeginnersBeginner's Luck|That actually worked]]! [[Idiot Hero|Next time I'll do it with skill]]!"''}}
 
{{quote| Full name Sean Matsuda, he is Ken's self-appointed disciple. Although Ken is somewhat annoyed by him.}}
Line 297:
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Her skin tone is a lot lighter in game than concept art.
* [[The Cameo]]: Perhaps, one of the really few SFIII characters appearing in ''Super Gem Fighter: Mini Mix'', alongside with fully-playable Ibuki.
* [[The ChiefsChief's Daughter]]: Her father is head of the tribe.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Dance Battler]]
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]
* [[Dojikko]]: Tends to fall over during her victory handstands.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]
** [[Badass Princess]]: A somewhat tame example, but she still fits the bit.
* [[Extremity Extremist]]: As the Capoeira master that she is, she's limited to kicking with her ''loooong'' legs. Her ''throw'' is a done with a leg.
Line 324:
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[Walking Swimsuit Scene]]
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]
 
 
Line 338:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Gill [[Combo Platter Powers|combines this with]]...
** [[Playing With Fire]]
* [[Anti -Villain]]: He really ''does'' have humanities best goals in mind. It's just too bad that his altruistic ideals are overshadowed by his very draconian methods.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
** [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: He's made the leader of his secret society simply because he's ''that'' powerful (and is prophesized to save all of creation).
Line 348:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Boss Dissonance]]: In ''3rd Strike'', Gill has the Mario-type flavor; who does he fight in his last stage? Alex.
* [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience]]/[[Color -Coded Wizardry]]: Gill's double-color design was meant to show off the capabilities of Capcom's new CPS3 hardware, which could use non-mirrored sprites. Thus, Gill can actually have a different colored side visible depending on his facing. He will also use fire-based attacks when his red half is facing the screen, and the chilling ones if his blue half is prominent.
* [[Dark Messiah]]
* [[Defeat Means Playable]]: He can be unlocked in the home versions of ''3rd Strike'' by defeating him with the rest of the cast once.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In his ending, Gill can be seen parting an ocean by sheer force of will, in order to lead his choosen people to his promised land... ''Moses'', anyone?
** [[Faux Symbolism]]
* [[The Emperor]]: Of his [[Cult]] which may be a [[Path of Inspiration]].
* [[Expy]]: His two-tone skin was based on [[Kikaider]].
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: His asymmetrical sprite was actually designed in order to take advantage of the CPS3's ability to display asymmetrical sprites.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Him and his [[Sexy Secretary]] girlfriend Kolin.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Seraphic Wing.
* [[The Messiah]]: Believes himself to be one.
Line 364:
* [[Physical God]]: His Resurrection and Sepharic Wing supers seem to qualify him for the role.
* [[Power Glows]]: Gill's ''whole body'' will glow non-stop as you fight him.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] and [[Cain and Abel]]: With Urien.
* [[SNK Boss]]: Gill's Seraphic Wing attack alone qualifies him for this status, as it's close to a [[One -Hit Kill]] against a player who's unprepared to block. His AI and his Resurrection also contribute to this trope. Hell, even his ''normal'' attacks do chip damage! {{spoiler|Well, at least he's defeatable on the easiest difficulty, compared to the other examples of this trope...}}
* [[Sprite Mirroring]]: Subverted by him and his assistant Kolin. They were deliberately designed to be asymmetrical (look at Kolin's hair), mostly to show off the power of the CPS3 system they used for the ''III'' games.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: At first it looks like he's gonna fight you in Jesus robes, but then he either burns (''New Generation'' and 2nd Impact'') or disintegrates (''3rd Strike'') it and fights you in a thong.
Line 371:
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[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:
{{quote| ''"My methods may seem harsh in contrast to my true intentions."''}}
 
Line 389:
* [[Chrome Champion]]
* [[Crush Kill Destroy]]: Yells parts of this phrase for three different special moves in place of calling his attacks.
* [[Dark -Skinned Blond]]
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: "Lie there as long as you want. I've had my fun with you."
* [[The Dragon]]: To Gill in ''SFIII''.
** [[Dragon With an Agenda]]
Line 396:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: He's named after a monarch that opposed the legendary King Arthur.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: Whereas Gill is the Blue Oni.
* [[Scary Black Man]]
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Read the above quote.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Allegedly his name was meant to be "Julian", but translation errors resulted in the current name. [[Embarrassing First Name|And everyone snickered]]. [[Lucky Translation|Coincidently]] though, "Urien" is real name. A 6th century British king appearing in Arthurian legends is named Urien, as mentioned above.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Tears off his business suit in his intro and fights you in a thong like his brother.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English VA.
Line 406:
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: [[Rule of Three|See the quote above?]]
 
Line 433:
{{quote| ''Why am I even here, anyway?''}}
* [[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]], [[ItsIt's All About Me|only looking out for number one]]. He also uses [[Light 'Em Up|light]], [[Ki Attacks|not ki]], as a projectile.
* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Out of Focus]]: He hasn't appeared at all since his first appearance.
* [[Peek -a -Bangs]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
 
Line 447:
 
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: A trenchcoat and fedora.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: While the question of whether or not he's human, robotic, or something else is still prevalent, [[X -Ray Sparks|being shocked]] causes his muscular system and an indistinct head to be shown.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Averted as Q [[Voice Grunting|simply grunts]] and [[The Unintelligible|makes incomprehensible noises]]. Also averted in that the names of his moves (i.e. Capture & Blow, etc.) are descriptions of his movements by onlookers.
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]: Is he human or a robot? You decide.
* [[Computer Voice]]: During his Total Destruction Super Art, a digitized female voice can be heard saying "Danger!".
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: In ''3rd Strike'', the conditions to fight him in a one-player game aren't exactly easy to invoke ([[Guide Dang It|before the 9th stage, you must have used no continues, have no rounds lost against the computer, get all stages graded D or better, earn at least two SP points [i.e. points awarded for getting a grade higher than the grade from the previous stage], and score a certain number of super finishes equal to the number of rounds per match plus two]]), and if and when he does show up, you find that Q isn't really that hard to beat... what?
Line 458:
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[One -Letter Name]]
* [[Out of Focus]]: He hasn't appeared at all since his first appearance.
* [[Parts Unknown]]: The series' most enigmatic fighter, hardly ''anything'' is known about him, let alone his birthplace.
Line 489:
* [[Flash Step]]: Hayate, which is a quick, straightfoward punch. It can also be [[Charged Attack|charged up]] for more damage.
* [[Foot Focus]]: She's barefoot.
* [[Glacier Waif]]: She's the shortest member of the cast at just under 5 feet tall and moves slow, but when she connects, she ''[[Pint -Sized Powerhouse|connects]]''.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXraeWNhZRU Seichuusen Godanzuki] super art opens this way.
* [[Heir to The Dojo]]
Line 516:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: His win quotes are in binary, translating into such things as "EZ JOB", "PAIN", etc.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: He has a Super Art, X.C.O.P.Y., in ''3rd Strike'', which allows him to transform into his opponent for 15-20 seconds. It almost turns into a [[Game Breaker]]--after activating X.C.O.P.Y., if you <s>taunt</s> use "personal actions", you get stat buffs until the round is over, even after the transformation wears off. Twelve copying Q can become [[Why Won't You Die?|a real pain in the ass to take down]].
** [[Genius Bonus]]: XCOPY is also an MSDOS application.
* [[Evil Albino]]: Twelve has the apperarance of a milky-white humanoid; still his [[Palette Swap|palettes]] range from [[Amazing Technicolor Population|red to yellow to blue to brown to...]]
Line 524:
* [[Out of Focus]]: He hasn't appeared at all since his first appearance.
* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: A Bio-organic variation, yet not quite an example of [[Lovecraftian Superpower|Lovecraftian Superpowers]]. He can morph his appendages into axes, to blades, to scissors, to tentacles, to drills, the list goes on.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: His name is misspelled as "Tweleve" in Japanese version of ''3rd Strike''.
* [[Spikes of Doom]]: His N.D.L. special attack--and the super art equivalent, X.N.D.L.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Speaks in binary code ([[Zeroes and Ones|0s and 1s]]). If one can read that, it will turn into [[Bilingual Bonus]].
