=== Hokuto - ''Japan'' ===▼
* [[The Archer]]: She has the look, and can even fire arrows of [[Light'Em Up|light]]-esque ki. The best example of this would be her [[Combination Attack|Meteor Tag Combo]] [[Lovely Angels|with Nanase]].
▲== Hokuto - ''Japan'' ==
* [[Badass Family]]: With Kairi and Nanase. To date, this is the ''only'' example of this trope in the series
▲[[File:hokuto_8474.jpg|frame]]
* [[BFS]]: Her Shirasegatana Meteor Combo, where she pulls out a gigantic naginata from [[Hammerspace]] and brings it down upon her opponent like the wrath of God. If they're hit by the blade's tip, [[Kill It with Fire|the opponent is blanketed in flames]].
▲{{quote| The closest thing to a main character in the ''EX'' series, Hokuto is a practioner of the Mizukami style of Kobujutsu and the daughter of a branch family's leader. After turning 17, she learned from her adoptive father that she has a brother named Kairi, who disappeared when Hokuto was still an infant and was now walking the path of the "Asura". Hokuto was given the duty to eliminate her now renegade brother and as a failsafe in case she hesitated, she was implanted with the "Seal of Blood" to ensure she would accomplish her duty.}}
▲* [[The Archer]]: She has the look, and can even fire arrows of [[Light'Em Up|light]]-esque ki. The best example of this would be her [[Combination Attack|Meteor Tag Combo]] [[Lovely Angels|with Nanase]].
▲* [[Badass Family]]: With Kairi and Nanase. To date, this is the ''only'' example of this trope in the series <ref>if you want to be technical: Gouken and Akuma are [[Cain and Abel|brothers with much hostility]], while Ryu is [[Happily Adopted|Gouken's adopted son]]; [[Final Fight|Guy is Maki's brother-in-law]]; [[Street Fighter III|Yun and Yang]] are ''literal'' [[Bash Brothers]]</ref>.
▲* [[BFS]]: Her Shirasegatana Meteor Combo, where she pulls out a gigantic naginata from [[Hammerspace]] and brings it down upon her opponent like the wrath of God. If they're hit by the blade's tip, [[Kill It with Fire|the opponent is blanketed in flames]].
* [[Big Brother Instinct|Big Sister Instinct]]/[[Onee-Sama]]: To Nanase.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Counter Attack]]
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: In ''EX2'', she ties her hair in a ponytail and dons a new kimono (as seen in the image to the right). She switches back to her [
* [[I Have Many Names]]: She also went by the name of Shirase as a child.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]]
* [[Lady of War]]: There's a graceful air to her movements. She's also skilled with [[Paper Fan of Doom|paper fans]], [[The Archer|bows & arrows]], and [[Blade on a Stick|a naginata]].
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Hokuto has no clue that the Seal of Blood was implanted in her or that [[Laser Guided Tykebomb|she was sent on a mission to kill Kairi, her own brother]].
* [[
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Although officially spelled in hiragana, Hokuto is the Japanese name for the Big Dipper.
* [[Power Glows]]: As part of her Meteor Tag Combo with Kairi.
* [[Retcon]]: Hokuto's original bio stated that she was a student of the Bushin school of Ninjutsu like Guy.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Bloody Hokuto.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: One of her throws is an armbar.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]
=== C. Jack - ''USA'' ===
[[File:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Though from the United States, his appearance and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcSaFw2D09g theme music] seems to imply Spanish or Latino descent.
* [[Badass Baritone]]: And ''how''!
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Batter Up]]
** [[Attack Reflector]]: The dude can redirect projectiles with a swing of his bat.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: When his little sister is held hostage by an underground boxing champion, he risks regaining the attention of his pursuers to save her.
* [[Bouncer]]
* [[Blinding Bangs|Blinding Hat]]: His eyes are never seen at all, whether it's his hat or sunglasses.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Not so much the character himself undergoing a change, but a shift in alignment thanks to the drastic changes in his backstory caused by the retcon. In the first game, he was a thug who served Shadaloo, in the later games he is more or less a good guy.
* [[Home Run Hitter]]: '''TO THE MOON!''' No, really. He hits you so hard, ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|you rebound off of the moon and come back]]''.
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]: Kind of, uses a soccer kick as one of his attacks, and there is the bat thing.
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: He's named "Cracker Jack" because he wields a baseball bat. If you don't get it, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080212032057/http://www.crackerjack.com/ Cracker Jack] is a snack food commonly sold at baseball games.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Used to derail a Shadowloo train in his ''EX Plus Alpha'' ending.
* [[Nice Hat]]
Line 76 ⟶ 60:
=== D. Dark - ''Germany'' ===
[[File:
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: German-''American''.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Creepy Monotone]] and [[Tranquil Fury]]: ALL of his lines. Arguably done to the best effect in the first ''SFEX''.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Gas Mask Mooks]]: His mask is actually a medical ventilator (a necessity since his breathing organs were apparently damaged in the battle with Rolento), but it resembles a gas mask closely enough.
* [[Irony]]: On at least a subconscious level, he has been influenced by Rolento, the man responsible for his current mental state and whose motto is "Use [[Combat Pragmatist|any means available]] to win."
* [[Knife Nut]]: Funny enough, the devs for ''EX'' said that D. Dark (who they nicknamed "Mr. Foulplay") was influenced by Rolento's mantra of using whatever is available to win. Ironically, Rolento is the man responsible for D. Dark's [[Ax Crazy|current mental state]].
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] and [[See You in Hell]]: His [[Limit Break|DEATH Trap]] quote: "Ano yo he iki na." ("Go to Hell.")
* [[Razor Floss]]: Used either to reel his opponent or to hold them in place as he somehow transports an explosive through the wire.
* [[Time Bomb]] and [[Why Am I Ticking?]]: "EX-plosive.", DEATH Trap.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: DARK Shackle (one of his super combos) can be described as "''[[Edward Scissorhands]]'' gone mad".
=== Skullomania - ''Japan'' ===
[[File:
* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: No, really. There's an S on his forehead.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Face it; you probably wouldn't take this guy seriously at a first glance, but it turns out that he's actually quite competent, making him a very goofy [[Badass]].
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: His ''EX3'' ending gives him one in the form of Skullo Lady.
* [[Large Ham]]: "SKULLO DREAM!"
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Saburo translates to "third son". Skullomania is a third-rate businessman.
* [[Mid-Battle Tea Break]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPehQJIrapo One of the many Skullo Dream variations.]
* [[Salaryman]]
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: From ''EX2'' onwards, to make his similarities to ''[[Skull Man]]'' all the more noticeable.
Line 115 ⟶ 99:
* [[Superhero]]
* [[Super Soldier]]
* [[Use Your Head]]: "SKULLO HEAD!"
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]
=== Pullum - ''Saudi Arabia'' ===
[[File:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: And it's quite tantalizing.
* [[Belly Dancer]]
* [[Dance Battler]]: To the point that her Meteo Combo literally forces her opponent to dance alongside her.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Who is implied to be working for Shadaloo. Pullum is currently searching for him.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: In ''EX2 Plus'', she inherits a kingdom after the death of a relative. This would make her a mild example of a [[Badass Princess]] (if you view her as a [[Badass Adorable]]).
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: She's Saudi Arabian.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
Line 137 ⟶ 121:
=== Allen - ''USA'' ===
[[File:
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: As evidenced by his taunts, although he seems to have gotten better according to the above blurb.
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: After a few of his attacks, most notably Justice Fist and Galaxy.
* [[Attack Reflector]]: His Justice Fist can deflect projectiles.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Although justified.
Line 150 ⟶ 134:
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]
* [[Jack of All Stats]]
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Fire Force, which is closest you'll get to a Shinkuu Shakunetsu Hadouken.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: After the first game. He then appears in ''[[Fighting Layer]]'', searching for strong opponents on South Island, [[Let's You and Him Fight|getting into fights with anyone and anything]], including [[Animated Armor|a knight]] and a '''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|FLYING SHARK]]'''.
* [[Shotoclone]]: Although he incorporates kickboxing and a few command throws into his moveset to give himself some variety.
=== Blair - ''Europe'' ===
[[File:
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Combat Stilettos]]
* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Subverted. While her voice is almost girlishly high-pitched, it's never unbearable. It's just that fans were expecting a hottie like her to have a more alluring voice.
** Averted in ''Fighting Layer''; same seiyuu, but a much, ''much'' sultrier voice.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: She's European.
* [[Gratuitous English]]
* [[Hollywood Atlas]]: Her nationality is only ever given as "European", which is ridiculous considering the ''huge'' number of countries that make up the ''continent'' of Europe. It's bizarre that her actual country of origin is not referenced in a series that plays on national identities, with a plethora of characters from various countries within Europe - England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
* [[Jiggle Physics]]
* [[Kick Chick]]
* [[Leotard of Power]]
* [[Ojou]]
* [[Put on a Bus]]: [[Fighting Layer|Same deal as Allen]], although she does make a in-text cameo in C. Jack's ''EX3'' ending, where he takes refugee in her [[Big Fancy House|mansion]].
* [[She Fu]]: One of her supers in ''Fighting Layer'' is a series of flips.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
=== Kairi - ''Japan'' ===
[[File:
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: But only because of his amnesia.
* [[Badass Family]]: With his younger sisters, Hokuto and Nanase.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Bishonen]]: Definitely at first. You can argue that he's still got it, even with all of those scars.
* [[Black Screen of Death]]: The Kyouja Renbu. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg0_052J3mA A Shun Goku Satsu by any other name...]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: At first, he only had [[Eye Scream|a scar over his eye]]. He's later shown to have multiple cuts and lacerations on his body.
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Starting in ''EX2'', Kairi gained a [[Limit Break|Meteor Combo]] called Shouki Hatsudo, a positively ''mammoth'' beam of energy. Unfortunately, using it [[HP to One|reduced Kairi's HP to critical levels]] and tired him out for a few seconds afterwards, [[Death or Glory Attack|so it'd be best to actually K.O. the opponent with it]].
* [[Power Glows]]: In the second and third games, his hands emit an eerie blue glow once his super meter starts to fill up.
** First two levels with the glow are just for show. When his super meter is at max, all of Kairi's regular and special moves inflict greater damage and are capable of burning the opponent. Plus when timed right, you can even negate hits from projectile attacks using said attacks.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Starting in ''EX2''.
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: In ''EX2''.
* [[Shotoclone]]: When Akuma left after the first game, ''he became Akuma''. And then, he became even stronger.
* [[Skyward Scream]]: One of his victory poses, as well as the end of his Kyouja Renbu.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: From ''2'' onwards.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Because of his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. He was originally had black hair in the first game before the stress from all of his fighting [[Locked Into Strangeness|permanently bleached his hair white]].
=== Darun - ''India'' ===
[[File:
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: His Meteor Combo, the G.O.D. (Gamble Of Darun), requires multiple 360+P/K spin commands and a tight-frame charge u, d, u+P/K command, and is also escapable at several points. If the move connects in its entirety, though, it is a [[One-Hit Kill]].
* [[Meteor Move]]
Line 220 ⟶ 204:
=== Garuda - ''Japan'' ===
[[File:
* [[Animated Armor]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Big Bad]]: Arguably.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Cool Sword]]: Produces a [[Katanas Are Just Better]] from [[Hammerspace]] for his Meteor Combo.
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Damn straight!
* [[Screaming Warrior]]: There is ''[[No Indoor Voice|no such thing]]'' as an "off switch" when it comes to [[Kiai|his yelling]]. The ''only'' exceptions are two of his victory poses (one of which is a creepy [[Evil Laugh]]) where his voice drops to a nearly inaudible murmur.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: With a possible side dish of [[Hive Mind]].
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Garuda is ''all'' about this.
* [[Teleport Spam]]: He will teleport when you hit him, counterattack, and then ''teleport again''.
▲=== Debuting in ''Street Fighter EX Plus'' ===
=== Cycloid-β and Cycloid-γ ===
[[File:
* [[The Blank]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Cyborg]]
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: The Cycloids used techniques from other characters' movesets.

===
▲[[File:hayatex_6009.jpg|frame]]
▲{{quote| The son of a legendary swordsman from the mountain village of Kukunochimura, Hayate decides to follow up on his father's footsteps by becoming a swordsman himself. His father is a legendary hero who sealed the beast of Orochi. When Orochi escapes from his imprisonment and kidnaps the local shrine maiden, Hayate slays the demon like his father did before him. Hayate and the maiden then become the new guardian deities of the village. Oddly enough, Hayate appears in the original ''EX2'', but was omitted from the arcade version of ''EX2 Plus'' (being re-added in the Playstation port) and is completely gone from the series afterwards.}}
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Cool Sword]]
* [[Generation Xerox]]: He follows the footsteps of his father, a legendary hero who once saved his home village from the demon [[Orochi]]. In Hayate's ending, he too defeats Orochi, saves the local shrine maiden, and becomes the guardian of his village.
* [[
* [[Put on a Bus]]: He does not appear in the arcade version of ''EX2 Plus'' (he only shows up in the PS1 version as a bonus character), and doesn't reappear for ''EX3''.
* [[Samurai]]: And naturally, he uses a [[Katanas Are Just Better]].
=== Nanase - ''Japan'' ===
[[File:
* [[Badass Family]]: With Hokuto and Kairi.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Counter Attack]]
* [[Death From Above]]: Her Machiyoi Meteor Combo, where her pole grows in size to the point that Nanase zooms up into outer space. She then jumps down, catching fire as she achieves atmospheric re-entry. [Insert name here], meet Nanase's fist.
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Hammerspace]]
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Her older sister Hokuto is 17 when the ''EX'' series begins and there is no word on how much time passes between each game. Nanase is clearly a few years younger.
* [[Panty Shot]]
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Tagalong Kid]]
* [[Tomboy]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Shares the same armbar throw with Hokuto.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
=== Sharon - ''Unknown'' ===
[[File:
* [[Action Girl]]: More ruthless that most, but not enough to be a [[Dark Action Girl]].
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Combat Stilettos]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Averted. [[Cold Sniper|She's as cool as ice.]]
* [[The Gunslinger]]: Uses an automatic [[Handguns]] and a [[Cold Sniper|sniper rifle]].
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Her ''EX3'' theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLvs3NLJOlM Temptation Gun], sounds a bit like Vermillion's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS57gN1QwCQ theme] from ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden]] 4''. Oddly enough, both characters are similar to a degree: red hair, dual guns action, [[
* [[Living a Double Life]]
** [[Double Consciousness]]: Implied, given that she must juggle her work as a kindly nun and an ice-cold agent.
* [[Mysterious Past]], [[Parental Abandonment]]: [[Quest for Identity|Hence her desire to find the man who has the same rose tattoo as her.]]
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: One of her victory poses.
* [[Repeat Cut]]: When successfully using her Meteor Combo at close range, you'll be treated to a sequence of Sharon firing her sniper rifle [[Rule of Three|three times]].
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Seriously, her outfit looks like it's been eaten by moths.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: She's Blair with the [[Department of Redundancy Department|added addition]] of firearms.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, Redheaded and Bishoujo]]
=== Shadowgeist - ''Unknown'' ===
[[File:
* [[Anti-Hero]]
* [[Badass Cape]]: As seen in the picture to the right. Noticeably absent in gameplay.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]

▲[[File:area_9059.jpg|frame]]
▲{{quote| First appearing in ''EX2 Plus'', Area is the daughter of a scientific inventor who works as a clerk in her father's store, where she sells his inventions. One day, her father invents a large mechanical arm codenamed "Cancer", developed for the purpose of digging. Area modifies it as a weapon and decides to test it against other martial artists from around the world. }}

=== V. Rosso - ''Italy'' ===
[[File:
* [[Badass Baritone]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Counter Attack]]: And it sounds like [[Precision F-Strike|he's dropping a F Bomb on you]] while doing so.
* [[Flash Step]]
* [[Gratuitous Italian]]: Quattro Panorama!
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: His Quattro Panorama Meteor Combo, which is a series of [[Memetic Mutation|boots to the head]], followed by a punch to the stomach that creates a fiery geyser, and then a final kick to the back of their skull that sends his opponent rolling.
* [[Latin Lover]]: Just listen to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_itijgg3lg his theme,] look at him, and ''try'' to tell us that Rosso doesn't strike you as a grade-A [[The Charmer|charmer]].
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Vulcan, as in the Roman god of ''fire'' who worked as a blacksmith. Which is the etymological source of the terms vulcano (Italian) and volcano (English). Rosso is Italian for red, a color usually associated with fire. His name is Italian for "Red Volcano".
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: His hair is more like a reversed Zebra than a full-out [[Skunk Stripe]].
* [[Playing with Fire]]
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Seen during his "Accelerando" Super Combo.
* [[Revenge]]: <s>What drives him</s> '''[[Final Fantasy/Memes|WOT DRIVES HIM]]''' until the beginning of ''EX3''.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[Theme Naming]]: Move names include Canossa no Kutsujoku [[wikipedia:Canossa|(Canossa's]] Disgrace), Etna/Vesuvio no Ikari ([[wikipedia:Mount Etna|Etna's]]/[[wikipedia:Mount Vesuvius|Vesuvius']] Rage), Tameiki no Hashi/Ponte dei Sospiri [[wikipedia:Bridge of Sighs|(Bridge of Sighs)]] and Pisa no Shatou/Torre Pendente [[wikipedia:Leaning Tower of Pisa|(Leaning Tower of Pisa).]]

===
▲[[File:acex_4273.jpg|frame]]
▲{{quote| The sole "new" character in ''Street Fighter EX3'', Ace is a secret government agent from an undiclosed nation who has the special ability to learn the techniques of his opponent after gathering battle data. He is asked by the Prime Minister of his country to gather information of a secret weapon being developed in an underground base.}}
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Slightly.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Cyborg]]
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: Ace could use techniques from other characters' movesets if they were bought in ''EX3''.
** [[Continuity Cameo]]: He can even learn moves from fighters not represented in ''EX'' (like [[Street Fighter II|Cammy]]), or even outside the mainline ''Street Fighter'' series (like [[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes|Shadow Lady]]): he can also use Blair's and Allen's new [[Fighting Layer]] supers.
* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: His theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwcsVmT7DUQ Harem Beat], sounds like something you'd hear in a ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' game. More specifically, it sounds like a rockified version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7v0B-mP81k Gravity Man's theme] from ''5''. It also resembles Shang Fenghuang's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HJJ0Y4cUmI theme] from ''[[Fighting Layer]]'' (an arcade-only game also developed by Arika in 1998, three years before ''EX3''), albeit sped up.
* [[Neural Implanting]]: Martial arts were downloaded into his system.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
