Line 177:
** 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.
Line 191 ⟶ 192:
* [[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 197 ⟶ 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 343 ⟶ 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
* [[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 358 ⟶ 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] [[Gigaton Punch]] Gigaton Punch ~ 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.
Line 463 ⟶ 466:
* [[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]]
Line 481 ⟶ 485:
* [[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).
Line 493 ⟶ 498:
* [[Mind Control Device]]: Although other devices are the primary cause of the victims brainwashing in the ''Street Fighter II V'' series and the animated movie—Ryu, Chun-Li, and Ken respectively) in each case Bison also seems to help brainwash them with his Psycho Power which most likely is the cause of the victims getting the rarer [[Mind Control Eyes]] trope where the sclera (the white part of the eye) changes color—in this case pink to possibly emphasize the Psycho Power.
* [[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 675 ⟶ 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 708 ⟶ 713:
** [[Defusing the Tykebomb]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Frankensteiners, suplexes...
== Characters debuting in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' ==
Line 811 ⟶ 815:
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]: In the ''Street Fighter'' cartoon, complete with the rather shameless line "Your ''chi'' is mine!" (''[[Evil Laugh|starts laughing]]'')
