Line 15:
{{quote|A grappler who seeks to avenge his friend and mentor Tom by defeating Gill. After the tournament, he travels the world in search of strong opponents. A rare departure for Capcom as Alex is the ''true'' main character of ''SFIII'', not Ryu.}}
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Battle Strip]]: He does this before every fight.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Towards Patricia, Tom's teenage daughter.
* [[Big Applesauce]]: His stage designs offer 3 different perspectives of New York City, including a run-down, graffitti covered back alley in ''New Generation'', a roof-top view of Manhattan in ''2ND Impact''(complete with a ''huge'' stars and stripes mural on one whole side of an apartment block) and finally the iconic 42nd Street subway station in ''Third Strike''.
* [[Brooklyn Rage]]
** UDON's mini-comic dedicated to Alex has him confront a brute in his friend Tom's restaurant and he blares "YO, DOUCHEBAG!" to get the guy's attention. Text on the page as it may be, you can almost smell the [[Brooklyn Rage]].
Line 25:
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Jazzy NYC". The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S2xgwcNGBE original version] from ''New Generation'' (known as the "-Underground Edit-": to date there's ''seven'' versions of the song as you can see [[Street Fighter/Awesome Music|here]]) [[Sampling|included the "Yeah"s and "Woo"s]] from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL52Oz3LznM "It Takes Two"] by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, by the way. In turn, the very name of the song has led to a current trend of giving other tunes the moniker of "Jazzy" plus their city of origin or affiliation. As of ''Super Street Fighter IV'', there's "Jazzy Russia" ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvwwfX_mKnU Zangief]'s theme), "Jazzy Metro" ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE4B6RfA5oU Guy]'s theme), and "Jazzy Kyoto". ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzOckSK5f8U Ibuki]'s theme)
* [[
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: [[Lightning Bruiser|Although some of his attacks do come out surprisingly fast]].
* [[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 48:
{{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...
* [[Badass Mustache]]: An uncommon example of non-villainous ''Curly'' mustache.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: As seen in his ''3rd Strike'' ending and his anime prologue for ''Super Street Fighter IV''. Comes complete with a rose garden, a gigantic maze and a pavilion for taking tea.
* [[Blow You Away]]: The final blow of his Rocket Uppercut Super Art has him spinning with enough velocity to create winds. Also, see "[[Razor Wind]]" below.
* [[Red Boxing Gloves|Blue Boxing Gloves]]: He seems to wear them just about ''everywhere''. In ''SSFIV'', his intro involves him ''grooming himself with the gloves on''.
* [[British Accents]]: Always of an appropriate London RP type in all of his appearances, but with changes in tone/pitch depending on the voice actor.
* [[British Stuffiness]]: To a certain extent, in that he views traditional good manners and social graces as absolutely ''essential'', and favours [[Sharp-Dressed Man|very formal clothing]], normally reserved for evening-wear by most people. He also seems surprised and put out when met with uncouth, ungentlemanly behavior. It should be noted that he is far more stuffy and [[Gentleman Snarker|derisive]] in the ''SF 3'' series, but is retroactively less intolerant in ''SSF 4''.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Not just the attacks themselves, but Dudley also calls out ''where'' his attacks are going to hit the opponent sometimes ("Body Blow!").
* [[Cool Car]]: Attempting to retrieve his father's prized Jaguar from Gill in ''New Generation'' is his motivation for entering the tournament.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: His win quote to Cammy -
{{quote|"How lovely to see another Brit in this tournament! Thank you for the match!"}}
* [[Cross Counter]]: One of his special moves, and a nowadays rare instance in which it's played straight ''and'' works.
Line 68:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]: Qualifies for one in ''III'' definitely, but averted in ''SSF 4''.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: In ''SSFIV'', thanks to seiyuu Naomi Kusumi.
* [[Ground Pound]]: His Thunderbolt attack.
* [[Iconic Item]]: The Victory Rose. In ''III'', it counts as [[Cherry Tapping]], as it takes off a small sliver of damage when it hits the opponent, meaning you can potentially KO a character with nothing more than a well-timed rose. In ''IV'', while it no longer damages the opponent, it still qualifies as an attack (and if it scores a hit on a midair opponent, it stops their jump and/or attack and drops them straight down), meaning Dudley can steal the extra points for a First Attack in a match with the Victory Rose.
* [[Knight Fever]]: In ''3rd Strike'', Dudley has received the honorary title of "Sir" after making a comeback and winning the boxing championship title.
* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: His [[Catch Phrase]] is the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Since his Super Street Fighter IV appearance, Dudley's condescending attitude has been dropped by Capcom entirely. During the ''Street Fighter 3'' series, his win quotes are surprisingly confrontational, using language such as "pissed me off". He also openly mocks his opponents about throwing their bodies into the Thames River, calls Sean a "greenhorn", Ken a "sissy-man" and delights in beating them up—a far cry from his appreciation for his opponents and voluntarily restraining because of his respect for them, fairness, order, and chivalry. Essentially, he goes from [[Gentleman Snarker]] to the very essence of the [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]. A jarring aspect of this personality alteration is it has rendered his classic "gutter-trash!" insult as incongruent and now [[Not Himself|totally out of character]] with his new persona as a constructive, amiable sort of chap.
** [[The Other Darrin]]: The above personality shift is reflected in his changing [[Voice Actors|voice-acting]] too. In ''SF 3: NG and 2nd Impact'', Bruce Robertson lends him a brisk, deep, [[British Stuffiness|stuffy]] voice. Then in ''Third Strike'', Francis Diakowsky gives him a less brisk, slower-paced, more mannered tone. Finally, by ''SSF 4'', Stuart Mc Lean voices him with a ''considerably'' softer, gentler, higher-pitched tone in a manner completely opposite to how he was originally voiced.
* [[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.
* [[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!"
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: The clothes, the hair, the tea, the butler etc.
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Most notably seen in his Machinegun Blow and Rolling Thunder.
* [[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."''}}
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Subverted.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]
* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]
* [[Something About a Rose]]: ''"Gutter trash."''
* [[Spot of Tea]]: Dudley is frequently pictured holding a cup of tea. [[Red Boxing Gloves|With boxing gloves on]]. ''That is how refined and gentle he is''.
Line 110:
{{quote|Twin brothers from Hong Kong who learned kung-fu from an early age. They were separated from their birth-parents at an early age and were raised by thier adoptive grandfather, who runs a restaurant in Shanghai. By the time of ''3rd Strike'', Yun and Yang are seen as heroes by their town, which they defend from Gill's organization during ''3rd Strike''. Both Yun and Yang also appear in the arcade release of ''Super Street Fighter IV''.}}
* [[Always Someone Better]]/[[Can't Catch Up]]: Yang believes that he'll always be in his brother's shadow. Yun is well aware of this, seeing through Yang's excuses in ''3rd Strike'' and telling his brother to simply man up and fight if there's something troubling him.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Yang's flirts with it. You might be able to spike your hair forward like that but it wouldn't be easy. He's even able to run his fingers through it while taunting and it still keeps its lift.
** Lampshaded by Sakura in her Super SFIV quote against him, where she offers Yang some hairspray.
Line 116:
** [[Demoted to Extra]]: ... Too bad most of the time, it's just Yun as the player character, with Yang appearing as an [[Assist Character]] at best.
* [[Assist Character]]: As mentioned above, Yang to Yun in ''Alpha 3'' and ''Capcom vs. SNK 2''.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Yun.
** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Again, Yun.
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Both literally and figuratively. They even teamed up to ward off Gill.
* [[Battle in the Rain]]: Yang's ''3rd Strike'' stage.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Yun and his [[Tsundere]] non-girlfriend Houmei, so much.
* [[Berserk Button]]: '''Never ever''' be a threat to the security of either Hong Kong or Shanghai.
Line 126:
** 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 ½|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.
* [[Flash Step]]: Yang has two.
* [[Hair Flip]]: Yang.
* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Yun's cap.
* [[Home Run Hitter]]:
** Yun's You-Hou. It's more evident in his ''Alpha 3'' incarnation.
** One-upped by its Ultra variation in ''Super IV AE''.
** He does it with his foot but Yang's ''Super IV AE'' rendition of the Tenshin Senkyutai also ends like this.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Yun is surprised at how young Ryu, Ken, Akuma and Chun-Li (who are part of the ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' roster) are in the GBA version of ''Alpha 3''.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Crowded Street" accompanied them [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWX2KTT_i1A throughout] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh9ekeyQVt0 every] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_vTrd4KV9c iteration] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zId56QBlCvs of] ''III'', unlike everyone outside of Alex.
* [[Nice Hat]]: On Yun's side. It hits (!) when he spins it during his taunt, even.
* [[Non Dubbed Grunts]]: A bit jarring; they've been using the same voice clips from ''Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike'' (1999) to ''Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max'' (2005).
* [[Older Than They Look]]: They look the same in every game they appear in, even though they are likely no older than 20.
Line 158:
* [[Anime Hair]]
** [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her alt costume in Super [[Street Fighter IV]].
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Ibuki is shown to be a very competent kunoichi, but she constantly skips out on her training because she prefers to be a normal girl.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: In the concept art for [http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2010/sep/13/concept-artwork-ibukis-new-alternative-costume-super-street-fighter-4/ her newest costume] for ''Super Street Fighter IV''. The final in-game model has Ibuki wearing a normal pair of sneakers.
* [[Cool Pet]]: Ibuki has a pet tanuki named Don who also knows ninjutsu.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: UDON Comics gave her a four-issue arc as their third ''Legends'' entry (following Sakura and Chun-Li). Also gives her an origin story.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]
* [[Flash Step]]
* [[Flechette Storm]]: The Kasumi-Suzaku super art consists of her throwing at least a dozen of kunais at an opponent ''while in midair''. The ''Street Fighter IV'' version of her Hashin Sho ends with this.
* [[Foot Focus]]: She's barefoot.
Line 172:
* [[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.
{{quote|'''Ibuki''': "Please don't look! I need to change outfits and I'm outta bombs!"}}
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Her ''2nd Impact'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YUJJqUU3GQ stage theme], interestingly enough, sounds ''a lot'' like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKsVhyiISY8 "Copacabana"] by Barry Manilow.
* [[Joshikousei]]: Her alternate outfit in ''SSFIV''.
* [[Ninja]]: [[Shown Their Work|And in a rare display of getting facts right]], Ibuki is actually wearing an outfit typical of ''real'' ninja and [[Distaff Counterpart|kunoichi]].
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: She [[Lampshade Hanging|actually comments on it]] in ''SSFIV''.
{{quote|'''Ibuki''': "Ninjas used to be cool, but now everyone is into pirates and robots and stuff."}}
Line 211:
* [[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]]
Line 277:
{{quote|An African warrior princess seeking to meet new friends.}}
* [[Against the Setting Sun]]: Her stage in ''Third Strike'', set on the Kenyan savanna, features an enormous hazy sunset.
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Her skin tone is a lot lighter in game than concept art.
Line 290:
* [[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.
* [[Foot Focus]]: Her original profile picture as well as numerous promotional art features Elena shoving her big bare foot right into the camera's view.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: She is frequently pictured with iconic African animals in artworks (lions, lemurs, etc.).
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Kenyan by birth and educated in France, Elena still calls out most of her attack names in English. She's even [[Lampshade Hanging|polite enough to point it out]] in one of her ''3rd Strike'' win quotes:
{{quote|''"My accent? I must have picked it up in my travels!"''}}
** Justified, as English is one of the two official Kenyan languages, along with Swahili, which she also uses in her intro - a cheery "jambo!" (hello!).
* [[Healing Factor]]: Elena is the only ''Street Fighter'' character who has the ability to use Healing, a Super Art which allows her to regain up to 1/3 of her life energy bar if given the opportunity.
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: As seen when she's a foreign exchange student in Japan.
Line 304:
* [[Out of Focus]]: Outside the ''III'' series and ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'', she hasn't appeared at all.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Elena towers above all of the other ''Street Fighter'' ladies (and some of the men) at an impressive height of over 6 feet.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: She fights in a bikini. Did we mention that she fights [[Fan Service|in a]] ''[[Fan Service|bikini]]''?
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[Walking Swimsuit Scene]]
Line 325:
* [[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).
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: He's seen reading a book in his intro from ''New Generation'' and ''2nd Impact'', but it merely could be his cult's version of [[The Bible]].
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]
** [[Rapunzel Hair]]
Line 332:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Boss Dissonance]]: In ''3rd Strike'', Gill has the Mario-type flavor; who does he fight in his last stage? Alex.
* [[
* [[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.
Line 340:
* [[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 351:
* [[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.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English VA.
* [[Underwear of Power]]
Line 368:
* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: See his quote above.
* [[Attack Reflector]]: The Aegis Reflector, which also works on super projectiles.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Despite being outranked by his brother, he still holds a high position in the same organization.
* [[Cain and Abel|Cain]]: To Gill's Abel.
* [[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."
Line 382:
* [[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.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Different elements and new Super Arts aside, Urien is essentially a playable, balanced down, tournament legal Gill.
* [[Theme Naming]]: His moveset seems to have a Roman/Greek motif going for it with names such as Spartan Bomb, Aegis Reflector, and Chariot Rush.
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
Line 405:
* [[Bishonen]]: Something that the series had been noticeably lacking before he was added. Unlike Vega, he's textbook bishonen.
* [[Bizarrchitecture]]: Remy's France stage is completely bizarre. The [http://www.gamerevolution.com/images/games/dreamcast/street_fighter_iii_third_strike/street_fighter_iii_third_strike_002.jpg left hand side] looks ''pretty much'' like it could be some back-street in Paris, but the [http://www.ntsc-uk.com/features/tqn/StreetFighterIIIGuide/03.jpg right hand side (Disco Metro entrance)] is pure fantasy and indeed, looks more like something out of ''Final Fantasy 7'', rather than a real-world location. The incongruence is compounded by the fact that ''Third Strike's'' other stages are all generally based on real locations from the countries that the fighters represent - 42nd street subway (US), Santos Harbor (Brazil), St Basil's Cathedral (Russia), the Harrod's building, London (UK) etc.
* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: Has a Ω emblazoned on the front of his shirt.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: No, seriously. He's a guy, and his shoes have noticeable heels.
* [[Counter Attack]]: His Blue Nocturne Super Art.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: His entire motivation for fighting.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Also his motivation.
Line 413:
* [[French Jerk]]: Though probably because he's a nihilist.
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Despite being French, all of his quotes are in Japanese.
** [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: Which is a little strange, seeing as how Dudley, Alex and Hugo speak in the appropriate language (and corresponding accent) to their nationalities....
* [[Hypocrite]]: Due to the fact that his father abandoned him and his sister in order to pursue the art of a true warrior, Remy has a deep seated hatred for all street fighters. Yet he's on his personal mission of searching the Globe for World Warriors to defeat. ''[[You Are What You Hate|By street fighting the Hell out of them]]'', of course. This winquote says it all.
{{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]], [[It'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 431:
* [[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?
* [[Malevolent Masked Men|Malevolent Masked Man]]: What we're led to believe via CIA reports.
** [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Used in ''two'' of his supers.
* [[The Mole]]: It's heavily implied that Q is [[Mole in Charge|the leader]] of the CIA investigation team that's [[Department of Redundancy Department|investigating]] Q.
* [[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.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Taunt with him and he gains an extra third of his defense added on. You can do this three times. His defense is already high. Three taunts and he takes forever to go down.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: His Total Destruction Super Art, where he literally [[Turns Red]], grabs the opponent, and ''explodes''.
* [[The Unintelligible]]
* [[Vader Breath]]
* [[Visible Silence]]: Has no winquotes in the American arcade versions and early console ports. In the Japanese version and Online Edition, his winquotes are nothing but question marks.
* [[Voice Grunting]]
Line 465:
* [[Bandage Babe]]: On her schoolgirl outfit.
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Character Exaggeration]] / [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: The ''[[Street Fighter (comics)|Ibuki Legends]]'' comic really plays up her aggressiveness tas she challenges Ibuki no sooner then meeting her ''in class no less'' as she believes all fighters should do this. She also tries to pick a fight with Elena who was just trying to be friendly. Her story also ties in with Oro as her father was defeated by him and she itching to fight Oro to avenge her father. Oro tries to depart some wisdom on her but she takes it as "I gotta beat Ibuki first" as Ibuki had managed to pass a test of Oro's. She does chill out considerably near the end of the comic however.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Her Karate is pretty brutal, even for a fighting game standards. For example, she employs ''strangling techniques'' in her fighting style, is prone to punch really hard on ''[[Kick Them While They Are Down|grounded opponents]]'', and one of her super arts even opens with a punch aimed... [[Groin Attack|right at the nether regions]]. Also note that she is the only karate gi-wearing character who does not wear padded sparring gloves. And as of ''Super Street Fighter IV'' she is now the first martial artist character to not wear padded gloves (with Gouken being the second).
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
Line 471:
** Averted with a couple of her alternate outfits in ''Super IV''. On the other hand, if you look at her school outfit more carefully, you'll she that not only she doesn't wear socks but that also the kind of shoes she wears just may let her pull 'em off easily.
* [[Dramatic Wind]]
* [[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]]
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Not to the level [[Dogged Nice Guy|Sakura]] has, but Makoto is FLABBERGASTED at facing Ryu, since he is an absolute legend in the world of karate. Her starting pose when facing him is to take a VERY deep breath to calm her nerves. Subverted with Fei Long; she knows who he is and challenges him to a fight, but it doesn't go beyond mutual respect as fighters.
* [[Home Run Hitter]]: [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Two words]]: Seichuzen Godanzuki.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: And ''how''!
* [[Joshikousei]]: In [http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2010/sep/14/concept-artwork-makotos-new-alternative-costume-super-street-fighter-4/ her newest costume] for ''Super Street Fighter IV''.
Line 486:
* [[Tomboy]]: [[Captain Obvious|You already know.]]
* [[The Rival]]: Ibuki.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Although some sources say that it's an oversized [[
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Sushi and sashimi, according to SFIV. Hilariously, she tells that to [[Lethal Chef|El Fuerte]].
* [[Turns Red]]: Plays ''literally'' straight during her Tanden Renki.
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: A rumor was circulating about she was originally going to be Ryu's sister, which may explain their resemblance.
Line 502:
* [[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...]]
* [[Invisibility]]: He can turn invisible for a few seconds performing his taunt.
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]
Line 509:
* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: A Bio-organic variation, yet not quite an example of [[Lovecraftian Superpower]]s. 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]].
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
Line 536:
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Often played with in regards to him. In general, the case seems to be that though he's certainly not stupid he prefers to let Poison do all the thinking, while he takes care of the fighting, which gives him this role even though, again, he may not actually be dumb.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: To an extent. In game conversations, especially in Second Impact, show that he's an extremely nice guy.
* [[The Giant]]: Seriously.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: "Ein, zwei, drei ENDE!"
** He also quips "Dummer Kerl" (lit. "stupid guy", "fool") in one of his 2nd Impact intros, as well as "Besiegen!" (lit. "Defeat [you]") in 3rd Strike.
Line 543:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: He can be [[Lightning Bruiser|incredibly fast for someone his size]], but in general he lumbers along.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Just like his Andore family from Final Fight, Hugo is heavily inspired visually by [[wikipedia:André the Giant|Andre The Giant.]]
* [[Oktoberfest]]: His ''SFIII: 2nd Impact'' stage, set in Munich, perfectly sums this up. It's hard to tell initially, but a complete, pulled-back view of the stage reveals the whole area is inside a [http://dsarena.free.fr/mugenlight/stages/sf3si-hugo_beta.png huge beer-tent!]
* [[Out of Focus]]: Aside from ''[[Street Fighter III]]'', ''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos]]'', and ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' he hasn't appeared at all.
* [[Pec Flex]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]
* [[Spinning Piledriver]]: Both the Moonsault Press and the Super Art variation Gigas Breaker.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English-speaking voice actor.
* [[Wrestling Family]]: The Andore family is pretty much a family of [[Giant Mook|giant mooks]], and Hugo is no exception.
