Line 110 ⟶ 101:
* [[Best Served Cold]]: Against Bison for Charlie's death. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that Guile thought Bison was dead between ''Alpha 3'' and ''Street Fighter II''.
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Guile the same two special moves in IV that he did in II and some [[The Same but More|super/ultra version]] of each. Most characters have at least three and many are flashier then Guile. He's still a badass.
* [[Cameo]]: Many, not all of them video games:
** He appears in the background during the boss battle with Freddie in ''[[Final Fight|Final Fight 2]]''
** One of the skins the player can unlock in ''[[Crimson Tears]]'' makes the character look like Guile.
** He appears in first episode of ''[[Lucky Star]]'' (called "Foreigner"); He was asking Tsukasa for directions, but Konata thought he was threatening to kidnap her, so they fought and she won, using similar moves to Ryu, with Ryu's stage as the backdrop.
** He appears in episode 010 of ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt]]'' as a trucker eating a hamburger during a musical number.
** In ''[[Wreck-It Ralph]]'', he's one of the portraits at [[Tapper]]'s bar.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]:
{{quote|"Sonic Boom!"}}
Line 135 ⟶ 132:
* [[Ki Attacks]]: "Sonic Boom!"
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]
* [[Martial Arts Do Not Work That Way]]: We are looking at you and that ridiculous upside-down kick of yours, buddy. Not his special move, mind, but ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131204193931/http://www.sirlin.net/storage/street_fighter/guile_upsidedown_kick.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1226538255075 his regular fierce kick]''. It defies gravity in such a way that it ends up looking completely absurd even for this game, ''which is saying something''.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: A [[Guile Hero|"guile"]] person is a person with a certain cunning, capable of knowing what their opponent will do in advance. In short, exactly the kind of play Guile's two-second charge moves entice. [[Metagame|In theory]]. "Guile" is a (relatively uncommon) French surname, originating from "Guillaume", which is the French for "William". In [[Street Fighter (film)|the first movie]] this is perhaps referenced, with JCVD playing Colonel ''William'' F. Guile.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: His motivation for looking for Charlie in ''IV''.
Line 148 ⟶ 145:
* [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head]]: Has the American flag tattooed on ''both'' of his arms.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Nothing too [[Egregious]], but he does have a suplex in his arsenal.
== Chun-Li - ''China'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"I'm the strongest woman in the world!"''}}
Line 166 ⟶ 162:
* [[Male Gaze|Baby Got Back]]: Goes along with her legendary thighs.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Would ''you'' expect a woman like her to jump for joy or strike a [["V" Sign]] and proclaim "Yatta!"?
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In ''Street Fighter II V''
* [[Badass in Distress]]:
** She's had to be rescued fairly often in the history of the franchise, usually by Guile.
** The first issue of the ''Street Fighter Unlimited'' comic book ends with a shot of her BoundAndGagged after having been captured by Vega.
* [[Button Mashing]]: Her lightning kick.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: "Spinning Bird Kick!"
* [[Cameo]]: LOTS of them:
** Appears in the background of the Hong Kong stage of ''[[Final Fight|Final Fight 2]]''
** She's in the crowd in Saturday Night Slam Masters, near the entrance on the left.
** If the player in ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' asks the guy in the thief's house in Bleak to do a magic trick, and then answers his question correctly, she appears there practicing her Lightning Kicks.
** A tennis player named "Li-Li" who looks like her appears in Capcom Sports Club.
** Appears on a poster in ''[[Resident Evil Survivor]]''.
** One of the skins the player can unlock in ''[[Crimson Tears]]'' makes the character look like Chun-Li.
** She's the reporter in the prologue of ''[[Mega Man 9]]''.
** She appears to be the policewoman who appears in the epilogue of ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'', giving Kalrow a ticket for using his Segway among pedestrians. ([[How the Mighty Have Fallen]]...)
** She is part of the army of video game heroes in the finale of ''[[Ready Player One (film)|Ready Player One]]''.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Gomen ne!"
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: ''Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition'' [http://youtu.be/Md2RjeuMFzg portrays her in this light] towards Yun and Yang. If one factors in the implications that a martial arts instructor/master in considered to be a father figure and the ties shared by Gen, Lee, Chun-Li's father, Chun-Li, and the Lee Bros., she technically qualifies as their elder sister in a martial arts sense as well.
* [[Energy Ball]]: Her Kikoken and Kikosho.
* [[Ethical Slut]]: Downplayed. She obviously doesn't sleep around, but she is something of a playful flirt at times towards male opponents, often making suggestive win quotes towards Ryu, Charlie, Honda, and in the case of ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'', Thor.
* [[Fan Service]]: The famous [[Shower Scene]] in ''Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie''. The uncensored version showed her breasts.
** There's also her alternate costume in ''IV'', and those ''legs''.
** While she is sometimes used as fanservice, Capcom usually prefers to keep her classy as well, and she is surprisingly not ''as'' heavily used in that role as the other female characters.
** The animation for her Kikouken in ''Super Street Fighter II'' was redesigned so that more of her rear would be sticking out, something that was retained for ''IV''.
* [[Fair Cop]]: Interpol, of course.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Her moves have a tendency to be heavily risky, often having some sort of long delay after they hit. If her moves are blocked, she leaves herself wide open for combos.
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: How she ''did'' start. The original ''Street Fighter II'' is a good example of this.
* [[Goomba Stomp]]: Her Yousou Kyaku.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: She's Chinese but speaks English when she [[Calling Your Attacks|does her spinning bird kick]] and her celebration pose, in SF2 at least, has her shouting [[Gratuitous Japanese|"Yatta!"]].
** [[Fridge Logic]] occurs when you [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD8F7VDsesA compare all her appearances in chronological order] - her English gets better with each game, presumably through experience.
* [[Homage]]: Her design was at least partially inspired by Charlotte Chang, a character (played by [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Jan_Gan_Boyd Jan Gan Boyd]) in the 1987 [[Charles Bronson]] film ''[[Assassination]]''.
* [[Hurricane Kick]]:
{{quote|''"[[Gratuitous English|Spinning Bird Kick!]]"''}}
Line 185 ⟶ 199:
* [[Ki Attacks]]: The Kikoken projectile.
* [[Kick Chick]]: [[Trope Maker]]/[[Trope Codifier]] as the first female fighting game character ''ever'' she's done more for this trope then any other user.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: As shown in her Arcade Ladder ending in ''V'', her attempt to cook for Li-Fen - even while carefully following a recipe in a cookbook - results in her burning the food, though thankfully not so bad that Li-Fen cannot salvage it.
* [[Lovely Angels]]: With Cammy in the opening cinematic of ''SSFIV''. The two are shown to be friends, and artwork from around the time of ''II'' and ''Alpha'' had a habit of pairing them up. This is pretty much canon, since source material shows that Interpol has had collaboration with Delta Red and the U.S. Armed Forces when investigating Shadaloo. Guile is frequently paired with the two to form a [[Power Trio]].
* [[Mama Bear]]: Someone should have told Urien that you ''do not'' kidnap her adopted children.
Line 202 ⟶ 217:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Naturally, she's gonna be shipped with plenty of characters. In this regard, Ryu is the most prominent. The two have really good chemistry and it's been proven that she admires Ryu greatly and loves fighting him every chance she gets.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Prior to ''Super Street Fighter II'', she was the only female fighter on the roster.
** One of her victory quotes in ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' (where the genders of playable characters is roughly equal) is a [[Call Back]] lampshading this: "I remember when I was the only girl on the roster."
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: The Kikosho.
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Believe or not, despite her ''legendary'' stems, she only ''barely'' qualifies at 5'8".
Line 209 ⟶ 225:
{{quote|"I love sweets. Feeling up to goint to get a bite to eat after this?"}}
* [[Leotard of Power|Unitard of Power]]: Her outfit in the ''Alpha'' series, worn underneath an embroidered vest. ''Alpha 2'' and ''Alpha 3'' gave players the option to wear her trademark [[Qipao]] instead.
* [[Wall Jump
* [[Weight Woe]]: Possibly, seeing as hers is the only profile that leaves that part blank.
* [[World's Most Beautiful Woman]]: Many male characters claim she is this.
* [[World's Strongest Man|World's Strongest Woman]]: ''She'' claims to be such, although she's met a lot of female fighters who want to prove otherwise.
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: She and Ryu are the only two characters from the series who have shown up in ''every'' [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] title out there.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: She holds a personal grudge against Bison, because he killed ''her'' father, leading Bison, to [[Self-Made Orphan|taunt]] [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|her]].
Line 216 ⟶ 235:
** In the first movie:
{{quote|'''Bison''': ''For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|but for me... it was Tuesday]]!''}}
== Zangief - ''USSR / Russia'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"I am the Red Cyclone!"''}}
Line 236 ⟶ 254:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In ''[[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie|Street Fighter II the Animated Movie]]''.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Like Akuma, people go wild when Zangief players start winning in ''[[Street Fighter IV|SF4]] tournaments. He's the slowest character in the game next to T. Hawk, his only options against fireballs are jumping, Lariat, or a well-placed Green Hand, and his only true damage output lies in his command grabs (his combos are all extremely hard links). In short, he's a thinking man's character who has to go through '''A LOT''' of hurdles to get up close, but once he gets into that special range their hard work pays off, as players can exploit their opponent's fear of getting grabbed and win with effort.
* [[Dirty Communists]]: Despite ostensibly being a
* [[The Ditz]]: This is how he's portrayed in the first live action movie.
{{quote|''"Quick! Change the channel!"''}}
Line 263 ⟶ 281:
* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: In his ''Street Fighter II'' ending, he ''dances with President Gorbachev''. In the UDON comics, ''his speech balloons are red with yellow text''.
* [[Pec Flex]]
* [[The Red Baron|The Red
* [[The Rival]]: With [[Final Fight|Mike Haggar]].
* [[Spin Attack]]: The Lariat.
Line 280 ⟶ 298:
== Dhalsim - ''India'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"I will meditate and then destroy you."''}}
Line 303 ⟶ 321:
* [[Lotus Position]]: He is often seen using this posture; [[Levitating Lotus Position|during levitation]], while teleporting, or simply in meditation outside combat.
* [[Martial Pacifist]]
* [[
* [[Mistaken for Aliens]]: See "[[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]" below.
{{quote|(When winning against Rufus) ''"I'm not an alien!"''}}
Line 321 ⟶ 339:
== Balrog - ''USA'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"My fists have your blood on them!"''}}
Line 328 ⟶ 346:
{{quote|Balrog is a disgraced heavyweight boxer and one of Shadaloo's Four Devas; he joined the organization after his excessive violence got him kicked out of the pro boxing world. After M. Bison's disappearance, Balrog spends all of the riches gained from his employment, ending up right back where he started. He enters the ''Street Fighter IV'' tournament hearing that S.I.N. has some kind of "treasure" -- and that Shadaloo would pay him well enough. In ''Super Street Fighter IV'', he encounters Dudley and challenges the British boxing champion to a match between regions. }}
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: Ironically, when Mike Tyson finally ''did'' find out - in 2019 - that Balrog was based on him, he said he was flattered.
* [[American Dream]]: One of the more negative depictions of this trope. He joined Shadaloo to make it big after being forced out of the ring.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: The Bison in Japan
Line 333 ⟶ 352:
* [[The Dragon]]: To Bison in ''Alpha''.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Known as M. Bison in Japan and Balrog everywhere else.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]
* [[Eagle Land]]: Type 2.
Line 343 ⟶ 361:
''"'''DON'T STOP ME!'''"'' }}
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Very fast jabs and his Dash Punches.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Or should I say [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBHxXufqOEY Gigaton Punch] [[
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: He's a [[Captain Ersatz]] of [[Mike Tyson]], there's little point in denying it. In fact, in the original version, he was named "M. Bison" while the final boss was named "Vega", the guy with the mask named "Balrog". The names of the bosses were swapped for American release to prevent a lawsuit.
* [[Only in It For the Money]]: Pretty much his driving force.
* {{spoiler|[[Pet the Dog]]: His ending in ''IV''}}.
Line 358 ⟶ 376:
** [[Ascended Meme]]: In ''Super IV'' he gets a new Ultra called Dirty Bull which, before ''AE'', was a 720 motion and involves illegal boxing maneuvers such as sucker punching, stepping on someone's foot, and clinching.
* [[Use Your Head]]: In one of his grabs, in the Buffalo Head, and more recently in his second Ultra in ''SSFIV''.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: According to notes on official art, Balrog is only 21 at the time of ''Street Fighter II''
== Vega - ''Spain'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"Handsome fighters never lose battles."'' }}
Line 371 ⟶ 388:
{{quote|Vega is [[The Fighting Narcissist|extremely narcissistic]]; he believes that he is the most beautiful person in the world, and all others are inferior to him. To keep that delusion intact, Vega wears a mask while in battle to protect his face. ([[Made of Plasticine|Too bad the mask is easily broken.]])}}
* [[Abusive Parent]]: His father was a thug who physically abused him and his mother.
* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: His yodeling winpose. Yodeling did not originate in Spain, it originated in [[Yodel Land|the Alps]]. But given he came from an essentially Eurotrash background, it's not improbable for him to have picked it up traveling through the Swiss (or Italian or French) Alps.
* [[Attempted Rape]]: On Chun-Li in ''II: The Animated Movie'' before killing her. It doesn't quite work, seeing the fight ends with Chun-Li Lightning Kicking him to Hell and back before driving his body through a wall, but the battle does keep Chun out of commission for the remainder of the film.
Line 376 ⟶ 394:
** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Badass Spaniard]]
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Given his upbringing, he wholeheartedly believes this.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Except in the case of the below trope.
* [[Berserk Button]]: He goes insane if you so much as touch his face. In the ''Animated Movie'', Vega threatens to kill Chun-Li after she rearranges his face with her foot. In the comics, he goes straight into kill mode when Eliza (then Ken's fiancé) so much as slaps him in the face (keep in mind that she's not a fighter like Chun-Li). If it wasn't for Ken arriving just in time, she'd be torn to shreds.
Line 390 ⟶ 409:
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Balrog in Japan, Vega everywhere else.
** And quite a funny one, since Vega is, indeed, a very common Spanish family name. But you will see a green dog before you see a Spaniard named Balrog.
* [[Effeminate Misogynistic Guy]]: Vega is a narcissistic effeminine matodor who seemingly regards women with contempt and disdain. He wears purple eyeliner, nail polish, and what appears to be lip gloss. In the subs, he tends to speak in a soft somewhat feminine tone. For years, gamers thought Vega was gay, until Capcom stepped forward and stated Vega was not gay, but a narcissist. They even had him take an interest in Cammy (so to speak) as a way of showing this.
** In the ''Animated Movie'', he became jealous when Bison appeared to [[Buxom Is Better|take an interest in Chun Li's "talents."]] And, when tasked with eliminating her, Vega's method was saddistic; delighting in Chun Li's suffering until she [[Berserk Button|stepped on his face]].
Line 409 ⟶ 427:
* [[Laughing Mad]]
* [[Made of Plasticine]]: His mask. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in his ''Alpha 3'' Time Over pose, when he takes it off and crushes it to dust in frustration.
* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]
* [[McNinja]]: Maki [[Lampshade Hanging|calls him out on this]]:
{{quote|'''Maki''': ''"What? A Spanish Ninja? Now I've seen it all!"''}}
Line 423 ⟶ 442:
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: His parents, according his backstory in ''[[Street Fighter]] II'', are a rather tragic example. A young Vega saw {{spoiler|his very ugly father murder his beautiful mother under the belief that she was cheating on him (whether she ''was'' or not is something else)}}; Vega went crazy and {{spoiler|became a [[Self-Made Orphan]] by killing his dad to avenge his mom}}, this being his [[Start of Darkness]], Narcissism ''and'' Madness.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
* [[Wall Jump
* [[White Mask of Doom]]
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: The reason he uses it? So he won't necessarily have to actually sully his hands to bust somebody up.
== M. Bison - ''Shadaloo'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"Embrace your fear as you are enveloped by an eternal nightmare!"'' }}
Line 444 ⟶ 462:
* [[A God Am I]]: 1st movie only.
* [[Affably Evil]]: According to some official publications, Shadaloo has a dating centre, a shopping mall (!!), a swimming pool, and video games. In ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'', he actually makes a few sarcastic jokes to his enemies. This could be justified by saying that he wants his future soldiers to trust him or be in good shape, but... ''damn''.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Chun-Li, Charlie, Guile, and sometimes Akuma. Oddly, he never has any special animosity towards Ryu, despite Ryu being the one who - canonically - defeats him every time.
* [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: Is quite [[Just for Pun|fold]] of this too.
* [[Badass Cape]]: He actually wears it in ''Alpha''. [[Flung Clothing|Otherwise]]...
* [[Bad Powers, Bad People]]: The Psycho Power is pure negative energy that only truly works once you have purged yourself of all goodness. And Bison has done just that.
* [[Battle Strip]]: In the original ''[[Street Fighter II]]'', he starts a fight by throwing off his cape. He leaves it on in later games, however.
* [[Benevolent Boss]]: As stated above, there are worse organizations than Shadaloo where a mook could find work.
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[Big No]]: With English voices on, this is the result when he loses in ''IV''.
Line 452 ⟶ 473:
* [[Brainwashed]] ([[Brainwashed and Crazy|And Crazy]]): His squad of "Dolls". {{spoiler|And Ryu, in Alpha 3.}}
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: Raul Julia's Bison is the legendary [[Trope Namer]].
** Ironically, however, this is Subverted in the games, where he does indeed remember Chun-Li's father and recognizes her as a dangerous enemy.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Shadaloo is bad. Bison has no compunction about sharing that with anyone.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
Line 461 ⟶ 483:
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: He wears a [[Putting on the Reich|friggin' Nazi uniform]], for God's sake!
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Vega in Japan, M. Bison elsewhere.
* [[Equal Opportunity Evil]]: Bison is a considerate boss who hires men and women from all over the world in the pursuit of evil. Okay, he ''brainwashes'' women from all over the world, but still. Referenced and mocked in the live action movie, where Anti-Shadoloo videos depicted the diverse members of Bison's army as insulting national stereotypes.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: In ''IV'', he and Seth are enemies.
* [[Expy]]: It is believed his design was inspired by that of [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Yasunori_Kat%C5%8D Yasunori Katō], the [[Villain Protagonist]] of the the Japanese historical fantasy franchise ''[[Teito Monogatari]]''. Yf anything, his clothes look very similar to Katō's.
* [[Flung Clothing]]: He tosses his cape away during his entrance in ''II''.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Pulls this on Rose to ensure his survival post-''Alpha'' until a suitable replacement body was made. He also planned on using Ryu as his host in ''Alpha'', had Cammy manufactured as a backup body, and sees some value in Juri (according to their Rival Battle).
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7xsOu2NACg Irreconcilably,] his theme from ''EX'' and ''EX3'' sounds a bit like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fMHqEGL-q8 Flash Man's theme] from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'', especially in the beginning.
* [[Joker Immunity]]: Until we find out Bison's ultimate fate by the time of ''III'' (Urien at least makes a cryptic comment about Chun-Li being able to shut down Shadaloo), it seems that this guy ''will never die''. Justified in-plot by his ability to exit his own body when it dies, and affix his soul to a new one. He's got a handy stable of [[Actually a Doombot|clones]] which he keeps around for this purpose, pretty much ensuring he'll always come back.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: His subordinates, despite aiding a megalomaniacal world-class criminal, get away scott-free. (Though at least Sagat
* [[Kneel Before Zod]]: His [[Your Soul Is Mine|Psycho Punisher]] Ultra.
{{quote|'''Bison''': "Kneel before my Psycho Power!" }}
Line 473 ⟶ 496:
* [[Made of Evil]]: Considering that he purged himself of all of his good qualities (which went on to become Rose) to master his Psycho Power (which can be described as the literal interpretation of the trope; nothing but concentrated negative energy), he'd technically qualify for this.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: He pulls out a psycho-imbued one as his second Ultra in ''SSFIV'', the Psycho Punisher. Or, as someone nicknamed it upon seeing it used on the ladies, ''[[Dead Baby Comedy|Psycho Abortion]]''. For the men, there's ''Psycho Castration'' or ''Psycho Vasectomy''.
* [[Mind Control Device]]: Although other devices are the primary cause of the victims brainwashing in the ''Street Fighter II V'' series and the animated
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]: From ''Super Street Fighter II'' onward.
* [[Nice Hat]]: That never falls off, no matter what attack you hit him with. It only comes off when he takes it off to briefly comb his hair with his hand. He doesn't even have his hat in his damaged alternate costume in ''IV''. The movie shows he has several similar hats in beige, green, and blue colors.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Came back to life ''three times'':
** Ryu destroyed his body after being freed from his mind control (''Alpha 3''), but his Psycho Drive regenerated him.
Line 502 ⟶ 525:
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Any ending in ''Alpha 3'' where he dies, which is virtually ''all'' of them.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: In Japanese only. He has a tendency to use English words that are not commonly used in Japanese, even as loan words. "Body," "fifteen," etc.
* [[Villains Never Lie]]: One of Bison's character traits is that he does not lie,
* [[You Fool!]]: Very fond of this phrase. It appears in half of his win quotes in Street Fighter IV.
== Characters debuting in ''Super Street Fighter II'' ==
== T. Hawk - ''Mexico'' ==
[[File:
{{quote|''"[[Accidental Innuendo|My totem is too great for your desperate fighting techniques]]."''}}
Line 521 ⟶ 543:
* [[Braids, Beads, and Buckskins]]: Played straight ''and'' averted! He's got warpaint and feathers in his hair, but he's really just wearing a denim vest and jeans.
* [[Captain Ethnic]]: Averted; While he's from Mexico, you probably wouldn't know that from playing as him. Played straight regarding his Native American heritage.
* [[David Versus Goliath]]: Hint: {{spoiler|T. Hawk is ''always'' Goliath}}, being as he is the single largest World Warrior to date, at least in height. Well, of the ones with an official

[[File:

Line 658 ⟶ 680:
* [[Healing Factor]]: Can apparently heal from broken bones in 3 days.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Jail Bait]]: She's a teenager in the ''Alpha'' games
* [[Kick Chick]]: She has more kick-based attacks than punches.
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: According to her Bio. Also, a picture in her ''[[SSF 2]] Turbo'' ending shows her kindly holding her hand out for a kitty.
Line 673 ⟶ 695:
** In her second DLC costume, she wear's Bison's [[Commissar Cap]].
* [[No Name Given]]: In the comics, Cammy was the name Rose gave her after she was cleansed from Shadaloo's brainwashing. Before, she was only known by her code name Killer Bee (and Bison keeps referring to her as such even afterwards).
* [[Opposite
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]] [[Braids of Action]]: They reach down to her butt. Yes, we have heard all the crude jokes by now.
Line 682 ⟶ 704:
* [[Spot of Tea]]: As seen in her ''IV'' win quote to Guile--"Is it true that in the U.S military, they don't allow breaks for tea-time?"
* [[Stripperiffic]]: She wears a [[Leotard of Power]], constantly shows her butt, and never wears pants.
* [[Take It to the Bridge]]: As seen in her ''SSFII''
* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: In her alternate outfit, which counts as a [[Gendered Outfit]] that copies M. Bison's uniform.
* [[Thong of Shielding]]

[[File:
{{quote|''"I am power made flesh! Feel how weak you truly are!"''}}
Line 712 ⟶ 733:
* [[A God Am I]]: "I am superior to all men!"
* [[Anime Hair]]: To this day, speculation rages as to what the hell his infamous hairstyle is supposed to be.
* '''[[Badass]]''': To wit: [[Person of Mass Destruction|He sunk an entire island by PUNCHING IT]], walked around on the ocean floor [[Batman Can Breathe
** [[Badass Back]]: Upon either using the Shun Goku Satsu or winning.
** [[Badass Boast]]: Several, as both regular Akuma and Shin Akuma:
Line 734 ⟶ 755:
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: The Shun Goku Satsu. {{spoiler|The user teleports both him/herself and the opponent into [[Hell]], where both are viciously mauled by demons, each hit dealing a blow for past sins. The technique can kill not only the opponent, but also the user as well. Only true masters of the Satsui no Hadou can survive the technique without dying. As it turns out, he's one of them.}} It's the reason of why Akuma is such a [[Badass]].
** {{spoiler|A similar but alternate description says that the user and his target are not ''literally'' pulled into hell, but rather the user channels the 16 Hells of Buddhism through his or her own soul into his opponent.}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Despite what many believe from taking notes from other medium by way of [[Character Exaggeration]], Akuma ''is not evil'' in the dry sense of the word - he does not randomly seek people to kill, but rather only kills stong opponents in their best condition. In [[Canon]] he only killed two: Goutetsu and Gouken; the former being his master (who was actually ''proud'' of being beaten in a duel to the death against his disciple - Goutetsu firmly believed in the Dark Hadou and Akuma showed him its purest form), and the latter in fair match which was [[
* [[Death From Above]]: Misogi.
* [[Defeat Means Playable]]: In ''Street Fighter IV''.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In ''[[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie|Street Fighter II the Animated Movie]]'', his appearance is a brief, last-minute "blink and you'll miss it" cameo.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Akuma is a real crowd-pleaser in tournament and online play, but he requires A LOT of practice to be good with him (about
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: He beats the crap outta Bison in his first appearance (although [[Retcon|this never happened]] according to ''IV''), and repeats in ''III: 2nd Impact'' to your rival and/or''Gill''. No worries though, Gill revived himself, ''as always''.

** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Needle in a Stack of Needles]]: In ''Street Fighter II V'', Akuma makes cameos on a regular basis, [[Hidden in Plain Sight]]. In one instance, he's a part of a gang of [[Mooks]]! [https://web.archive.org/web/20140501202443/http://blog.sfrpg.com.br/post/Akuma-em-Street-Fighter-2-Victory.aspx Here's a link for your convenience.]
* [[I Need You Stronger]]: Shows signs of this towards Ryu. The two have battled in the past and Ryu is not a challenge for Akuma in actual practice but Akuma chooses to walk away rather than strike the killing blow. It is through this that he believes that he can nurture Ryu's killing potential and basically shape him into a second Akuma. Subverted by the end as Ryu entirely rejects Akuma's fighting philosophy to follow Gouken's path.
* [[Noble Demon]]
Line 794 ⟶ 815:
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]: In the ''Street Fighter'' cartoon, complete with the rather shameless line "Your ''chi'' is mine!" (''[[Evil Laugh|starts laughing]]'')
