* [[Facial Markings]]: His face is painted in the kumadori style of makeup used by kabuki artists.

* [[Food End]]: His ''SF II'' ending.

* [[Hot Blooded]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Despite his size, he's relatively quick. Not anywhere near Cammy or Vega's levels, but still quick.

* [[Nerf]]: The weak version of his headbutt attack has gone through many balance changes. At first it could go through fireballs on the first frame, but in ''Alpha 3'' they changed it so it couldn't. Then in ''HD Remix'' it completely negated fireballs, inverting the nerf, but in ''IV'' it couldn't.

* [[Panty Shot]]: Especially in ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]''. OK, he's already wearing more than most Sumo wrestlers, but still...

* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: Like with Zangief, this is illustrated in the UDON comics by having his speech balloons white with red text, in grand Hinomaru<ref>The name of the Japanese flag</ref> style.

* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]/[[Spam Attack]]: Hundred Hand Slap!

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]/[[Spam Attack]]: Hundred Hand Slap!

* [[Combo-Platter Powers]]: He has a superstrong monstrous form and can set an electric current through his whole body. What's more, he picked up those abilities through prolongued exposure to electric eels.

* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Witness him bust out [[Charged Attack|rolling attacks]] as he walks toward you!

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In ''[[Street Fighter II the Animated Movie (Anime)|Street Fighter II the Animated Movie]]''.

Line 139:

* [[Never Found the Body]]: His motivation for looking for Charlie in ''IV''.

* [[Rated M for Manly]]

* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]

* [[The Rival]]: M. Bison.

* [[Series Continuity Error]]: In ''[[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]]'', Guile wants revenge on Bison for killing Charlie. In the intro of his story in ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'', he's insistent that Charlie is still alive because they [[Never Found the Body]].

* [[Sharp Dressed Man]]: An alternate costume in ''SSFIV'' is his dress air force attire.

* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]: An alternate costume in ''SSFIV'' is his dress air force attire.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: He has shirtless alternate outfits in ''IV'' and ''Super''.

* [[The Stoic]]: So much so, that in his cameo in Harvey Birdman, Guile just stands there while ''his hair is on fire''.

Line 165:

* [[Author Appeal]]: Chun-Li seesaws between thick and muscular and thin and petite, [[Depending On the Writer|depending on the game]]. Yoshinori Ono, the director of the series, has stated that he prefers her slimmer, Alpha-era look, while Daigo Ikeno, the main artist for the series, loves meaty thighs. Ikeno has admitted that he makes sure that ''his'' designs are the final drafts sent to the programmers.

* [[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!"?

* [[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''.

* [[Button Mashing]]: Her lightning kick.

Line 181:

* [[Hurricane Kick]]:

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: [[Word of God]] has Chun-Li as [[~~Worlds~~ Most Beautiful Woman|the most beautiful female of the cast]]. It has to be expected, from a character designer who admitted that his own thunder thighs fetish influenced her character design for a good majority of the series.

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: [[Word of God]] has Chun-Li as [[World's Most Beautiful Woman|the most beautiful female of the cast]]. It has to be expected, from a character designer who admitted that his own thunder thighs fetish influenced her character design for a good majority of the series.

* [[Interpol Special Agent]]

* [[Ki Attacks]]: The Kikoken projectile.

Line 196:

* [[Panty Shot]]: She avoids this, since she has tights, but in ''Pocket Fighter'', one of Chun-Li's attacks has her dress up as a cheerleader and do a high kick. There's also her alternate outfit in IV and the fight with Vega in the animated movie.

* [[Plucky Girl]]: So much, that when she faced Bison in ''Alpha 2'', he was impressed by her spirit and promised that he'd use ''both'' hands the next time they met.

* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs|Rapid Fire Kicks]]: Her Lightning Kick/Hyakuretsu Kyaku attack.

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs|Rapid Fire Kicks]]: Her Lightning Kick/Hyakuretsu Kyaku attack.

* [[The Rival]]: Vega.

* [[She Fu]]: In general, her arsenal of moves is extremely acrobatic if nothing else.

Line 211:

* [[Wall Jump|Wall Jumper]]

* [[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]].

* [[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]].

** In the [[Animated Adaptation]]:

{{quote| '''Bison''': ''Yes, yes, I killed your father, what's with you women anyway? I killed ''my'' father, and you don't hear me whining about it!''}}

Line 232:

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: His Mecha Zangief costume originated in ''[[Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (Video Game)|Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter]]'' and shows up as an alternate skin in ''Super Street Fighter IV''.

* [[Carpet of Virility]]: So much so, that ''even his Mecha costume'' has the equivalent in the form of a metal plate. Can't nobody top that.

* [[Comic Relief]]: In the live-action movie. Helped by the fact that casting [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Andrew_Bryniarski~~ Andrew Bryniarski] as him is PERFECT CASTING.

* [[Comic Relief]]: In the live-action movie. Helped by the fact that casting [[wikipedia:Andrew Bryniarski|Andrew Bryniarski]] as him is PERFECT CASTING.

* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: He can pull off a [[Meteor Move|Final Atomic Buster]] with ease.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In ''[[Street Fighter II the Animated Movie (Anime)|Street Fighter II the Animated Movie]]''.

Line 248:

* [[Gratuitous Russian]]: Okay, his ''SFII'' appearance didn't suffer from this, seeing that the Russian texts were written somehow well in here {{spoiler|(although the "Children aged less than 18 are not allowed to watch" banner in the background seems to be a bit out of context)}}, but when he went ''Alpha'', he also went [[The Backwards R|Я]]ussian. Not even talking about the moments when this trope has been directly inherited into the ''Vs.'' crossovers. For instance, his "Bolshoi tavieda!" sound sample when he wins. Sounds hilarious, right? Well, yeah... Even more hilarious to native Russian speakers. Because actually, the phrase "The Big Victory" '''must be''' translated as "Bol'shaya pobeda" (Большая победа). His stages in ''Alpha'' aren't safe, either. ("... to work... ... to work... ... to work..." screen in ''Alpha 2'' and "Machine heat" (both words to be treated like nouns in this case) in ''Alpha 3'') In a similar vein, ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes (Video Game)|Marvel vs Capcom 1]]'' had the Neo St. Petersburg stage in... [[You Fail Geography Forever|Kazakhstan]].

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: In the movie.

* [[Hot Blooded]]: Oh so much.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Oh so much.

* [[Husky Russkie]]: Zangief is the largest character in the games after Hugo and T. Hawk, except they aren't Russian. He's pretty much the uber-russkie.

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: He's show happily eating a sub on a train in the cartoon until Guile and Cammy show up. Then he proceeds to [[Edible Ammunition|throw his sub]] threateningly enough that Guile and Cammy actually dodge it like it's lethal!

Line 291:

* [[Bollywood Nerd]]: His role in the live-action movie, in stark contrast to the rest of this description.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: YOGA!

* [[Combo Platter Powers]]: He can spit fire, stretch his limbs like rubber, and teleport.

* [[Combo-Platter Powers]]: He can spit fire, stretch his limbs like rubber, and teleport.

* [[Teleport Spam]]

* [[Facial Markings]]

Line 374:

* [[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.

* [[Badass Long Hair]]

** [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]

** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[Badass Spaniard]]

* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Except in the case of the below trope.

Line 382:

* [[Catch Phrase]]:

* [[Child Hater]]:

* [[Child-Hater]]:

{{quote| ''"How dreadfully dull. Nothing offends my refined senses more than children."''}}

* [[Ax Crazy|Claw Crazy]]

Line 421:

* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Vega's snake tattoo is modeled after a typical Yakuza tattoo.

** His victory pose in ''Capcom vs. SNK 2'' has his tattooed snake coming to life and hissing at the opponent.

* [[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|Wall Jumper]]

Line 444:

* [[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''.

* [[Badass Arm Fold]]: Is quite [[Just for Pun|fold]] of this too.

* [[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.

Line 488:

* [[Putting On the Reich]]

* [[Seen It All]]: In [[Street Fighter (Film)|the movie]].

* [[Self Made Orphan]]: To quote the American cartoon:

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: To quote the American cartoon:

{{quote| ''"Yes, yes, I killed your father. What is it with you women anyway? I killed my father too, and you don't hear me whining about it."'' }}

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: He has a [[Clothing Damage|battle-damaged]] costume in ''IV'' which gives him slightly torn pants and ''shredded'' shirts.

Line 519:

* [[Ascended Extra]]: He gets an expanded role in the [[Street Fighter (Comic Book)|UDON comic]] series.

* [[Badass Native]]

* [[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.

* [[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 height--Hugo is probably taller, but since they've never been in the same game it's hard to tell.

Line 533:

* [[I Will Protect Her]]: To Juli/Julia, in ''IV''.

* [[Magical Native American]]: One of his moves summons an eagle to attack his opponent. Only in certain versions of ''Alpha 3''.

* [[Metronomic Man Mashing]]: As his second Ultra in ''IV''.

* [[Metronomic Man-Mashing]]: As his second Ultra in ''IV''.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: While he's [[Lightning Bruiser|much more agile and technical]] than this would usually allow, he still shows many elements of this.

* [[Revenge]]: Most notably, [[You Killed My Father|Bison killed his father, Arroyo Hawk]], and stole the Thunderfoot Tribe's ancestral lands. In his ending in ''II'', he regains his land. It's in rough shape, though he doesn't lose his hope to make it blossom again.

Line 555:

* [[Clear My Name]]: Toyed with in ''Alpha 3''. He's accused of being involved in Shadaloo-based drug trades and it's one of the reasons why he joins the SF tournament, but it's not his story mode's main focus. {{spoiler|Unless you play Yun's path since Yun and Yang take the accusations at face value and try to capture Fei-Long, who ends up playing the trope straight in the last mid-boss fight. Luckily, [[Defeat Means Friendship]] and Fei Long manages to explain what happened.}}

* [[Counter Attack]]: His Gekirinken Ultra in ''Super Street Fighter IV''. To properly utilize it, you need impecable timing. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZRb1KRm2g Pull it off correctly...] Kick to the knee, [[Badass Boast|"Soredemo kakatte koi!" ("I'm still coming in!")]], '''[[Kiai|ATATATATATATATATA]]''', [[For Massive Damage|One Inch Punch]].

* [[Depending On the Writer]]: In [[Street Fighter IIV (Anime)|Street Fighter IIV]], Fei Long's story and background are ''very'' different. In this media he is the protegè of Chun-li's father as well as Chunners's childhood friend, a [[Teen Genius]] who's already in the way to HK movie stardom, and [[Mood Swinger|quite more emotional]] and [[Hot Blooded]] than in the games.

* [[Finger Wag]]: One of his taunts in ''IV'', likely lifted from [[Way of the Dragon|one of Lee's movies]].

* [[Iconic Item]]: His nunchaku.

Line 563:

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: Seeing him smile is very, ''very'' rare.

* [[Playing With Fire]]

* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]: Parts of both of his Ultras in ''IV''.

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Parts of both of his Ultras in ''IV''.

** Fun fact: R.F.F. has real life counterpart known as "Straight blast", which is a Jeet Kune Do technique. Jeet Kune Do is a martial art developed by... [[Bruce Lee|Guess who?]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Even when he's not ''as'' tall as other charas here.

Line 601:

* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: See "[[Cheshire Cat Grin]]" above.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: In [[The Movie]].

* [[Rapid Fire Fisticuffs]]: His Machine Gun Upper, as well as the Climax Beat Ultra in ''SSFIV''.

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: His Machine Gun Upper, as well as the Climax Beat Ultra in ''SSFIV''.

* [[Red Baron]]: The Southern Comet.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Dee Jay, DeeJay, Deejay, DJ...

Line 638:

{{quote| ''"How does it feel to be beaten by a little girl like me?"''}}

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In ''[[Street Fighter II the Animated Movie (Anime)|Street Fighter II the Animated Movie]]''.

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: Hated to be pitied in ''Alpha''.

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Hated to be pitied in ''Alpha''.

* [[Emotionless Girl]]: In ''Alpha''. She slowly breaks out of it after Dhalsim makes her aware of her soul in ''Alpha 3''.

* [[English Rose]]: She's got the looks, RP accent... and ''definitely'' the [[Fan Service]].

* [[Fan Service]]: Her [[Thong of Shielding|thong leotard]] combined with gratuitous opportunities to show off her ass, which is ''incredibly well-toned''.

** The PC version of ''Street Fighter IV'' has opened up possibilities for modding new character costumes. One of them? ''[[Full Frontal Assault|Nude Cammy]]''.

** The PC version of ''Street Fighter IV'' has opened up possibilities for modding new character costumes. One of them? ''[[Full-Frontal Assault|Nude Cammy]]''.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Five-Man Band]]: The Delta Red.

Line 683:

* [[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'' stage--an ancient castle in England, with the fight taking place across a narrow stone cat-walk spanning a deep chasm. Small villages, a lake, and another castle are seen in the valley below.

* [[Thigh High Boots]]: In her alternate outfit, which counts as a [[Gendered Outfit]] that copies M. Bison's uniform.

* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: In her alternate outfit, which counts as a [[Gendered Outfit]] that copies M. Bison's uniform.

* [[Thong of Shielding]]

* [[True Companions]]: With Delta Red. Even more so with The Dolls, who Cammy refers to as [[Cool Big Sis|her sisters]] by the time of ''IV''.

Line 724:

* [[Blood Knight]]: The exemplification in the series.

* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: He does have a strong, but alien and not easily understood, code of honor.

* [[Brought to You By The Letter S]]: His pose after the Shun Goku Satsu usually has the "ten" kanji appearing on the back of gi. In ''Capcom vs. SNK 2'', Shin Akuma has a different symbol (this time, the "shin" character means "[[Physical God|god]]" instead of "true").

* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: His pose after the Shun Goku Satsu usually has the "ten" kanji appearing on the back of gi. In ''Capcom vs. SNK 2'', Shin Akuma has a different symbol (this time, the "shin" character means "[[Physical God|god]]" instead of "true").

* [[Call Back]]: Many of Akuma's greatest feats only happens during his endings sequences in the various games he has been in; apparently Shin Akuma has the ability to fly (and breath in space...) as in ''[[Capcom Fighting Evolution (Video Game)|Capcom Fighting Evolution]]'' he sets off earth to ''shoryuken'' an asteroid; in ''SSFIV Arcade Edition'', Oni can actually fly in game during his winning animations and taunts as well as perform an air dash and ''aerial version of the Shun Goku Satsu''.

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Shin Akuma's design - originally this form was just Akuma merely going all out against a [[Worthy Opponent]] with no visible changes in his body. When Akuma absorbed [[The King of Fighters|Rugal's]] Orochi powers in [[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium (Video Game)|Capcom VS SNK 2]] his hair turned white, his skin [[Turns Red|turned red]], and his [[Battle Aura|aura]] changed too, but this new form was also named Shin Akuma. Subsequently all future portrayals of Shin Akuma, except in [[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|SFIV]], would be that of the white haired demon, with no mention of the Orochi influence on him as if implying that Akuma can naturaly achieve this Shin form, or rather, always could.

* [[Cain and Abel|Cain]]: To Gouken.

* [[Character Exaggeration]]: Back in the days when the translated script for the series was sketchy at best, some cases of this were thrown in for western releases of the series, Akuma got a bit of it. First with his name being brough over as ''Akuma'' (Demon) instead of ''Gouki'' (Strong Fist), which helped sculpt the impression of his character as a [[Blood Knight|raging demon]] instead of a [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|rough fighter]] in the west. Another change was Akuma losing his humanity by succumbing to the Dark Hadou - in canon, he controls it just fine like his master Goutetsu did, and only in ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'' the possibility of him losing control over it was brought up as ''Oni''.

* [[Crush Kill Destroy]]: ''"Metsu."'' ("Destruction.")

* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]]: ''"Metsu."'' ("Destruction.")

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Cutscene Power to The Max]]: He can Shoryuken submarines and split Ayers Rock with a single punch. But in cutscenes only.

Line 751:

** In ''X-Men: Children of the Atom''. His inclusion was a joke by Capcom because his first appearance was in ''Super Street Fighter II X'', therefore making him an X-Man by himself. Coupled with his cameo in ''Marvel Super Heroes'', this [[Hilarious in Hindsight|anticipated]] [[Capcom vs. Whatever|what would happen]] [[X-Men vs. Street Fighter (Video Game)|two years later]].

** He has also made appearances in ''[[Cyberbots (Video Game)|Cyberbots]]'' (as Zero-Gouki, a [[Humongous Mecha]] in Akuma's likeness)

* [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: Akuma will only fight at full power if you're of an admirable [[Power Levels|fighting aptitude]]. See "[[I Am Not Left Handed]]" for more info.

* [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: Akuma will only fight at full power if you're of an admirable [[Power Levels|fighting aptitude]]. See "[[I Am Not Left-Handed]]" for more info.

* [[Hurricane Kick]]: Takes it [[Up to Eleven]] with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XF0lrF7kRo his "Demon Armageddon" Ultra].

* [[I Am Not Left Handed]]: Shin Akuma. This is what happens when Akuma fights you with all of his power. The only way you get to face this version of Akuma is usually accomplished by beating your opponents with a certain amount of Perfects and super finishes, and without continuing. Have fun.

* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: Shin Akuma. This is what happens when Akuma fights you with all of his power. The only way you get to face this version of Akuma is usually accomplished by beating your opponents with a certain amount of Perfects and super finishes, and without continuing. Have fun.

* [[Iconic Item]]: Akuma's prayer beads, which he pilfered from the corpse of his dead master Goutetsu.

* [[Informed Ability]]: The Shun Goku Satsu actually being able to ''kill'' someone. With the potential exception of those who are pure, or "pure enough", it's description says that both the user and its victim are dragged into the netherealms to be assaulted by demons, the wicked being plagued by their sins ([[Faux Symbolism|each hit represents the 16 hells of Mahayana Buddhism, 8 cold and 8 hot; the last hit is the killing blow, the final hot "traditionally seemingly eternal" hell]]). [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]] aside, its success rate is jarring. Gen [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|blocked it by emptying his heart of all emotions and thoughts]]. Akuma's jump on Bison, thought to be for a long time the reason behind his disappearance after ''II'', turned out to be only temporary (and [[Jossed]] by Bison himself) as of ''IV''. Gill revived himself in ''2nd Impact''. Gouken has been recently revealed to have simply been in a comatose state. Alternatively, he may hold the Shun Goku Satsu back in the same way he reserves his Shin form for only the strongest of foes.

Line 765:

** [[Curtains Match the Window]]

** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]

** [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

** [[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]]! [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.
