== Alex - ''USA'' ==
[[File:alex_1557alex 1557.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"You can't escape! Real fighters know their true calling!"''}}
 
Line 35:
* [[Suplex Finisher]]: Alex has a Super Art, the Hyper Bomb, that ranges from two (if used normally) up to five back-to-back suplexes ([[Back Stab|if he grabs his opponent's back first]]).
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English VA.
* [[Use Your Head]]: His Stun Gun Headbutt Super Art does [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]--a—a flurry of headbutts that damages and stuns the opponent.
** [[Awesome but Impractical]]: It only really works best against CPU-controlled opponents (especially [[That One Boss|Gill]]), as human-controlled opponents can react much quicker to the attack, leaving Alex wide open to counterattacks.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]

== Dudley - ''England'' ==
[[File:dudley_9908dudley 9908.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"[[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen|Let's fight... like gentlemen]]."''}}
 
Line 73:
* [[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-- aup—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]]
Line 95:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Voiced by an English VA.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: [[Humans Are White|And, that too]].
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Retroactively--heRetroactively—he's ''much'' more friendly in ''Street Fighter IV,'' which is a prequel to ''III''.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: In one of his win quotes in 3S, he refers to his opponent as such: "Despite your rudeness, I like your style. Let me buy you a drink..."
* [[Yes-Man]]: His butler, Mr. Orlando K. Gotch, perpetually found by his master's side.
Line 101:
 
== Yun and Yang - ''Hong Kong'' ==
[[File:yunyang_9922yunyang 9922.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Our Kung-Fu is the world's strongest!"''}}
 
Line 113:
* [[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.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Both brothers started as just [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]]s of the same sprite. After [[Divergent Character Evolution]] took place, they went on to appear in ''[[Capcom Fighting Evolution]]'', ''[[SNK vs. Capcom|Capcom vs. SNK 2]]'', and the handheld ports of ''[[Street Fighter Alpha|Street Fighter Alpha 3]]''. In vanilla ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'', they get some cameos, and are ascended (again) to playable in the Arcade version of ''Super Street Fighter IV''...
** [[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''.
Line 150:
 
== Ibuki - ''Japan'' ==
[[File:ibuki_796ibuki 796.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Ninjas used to be cool, but now everybody's into pirates and robots and stuff like that."''}}
 
Line 173:
* [[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--andinstant—and [[Smoke Out|a puff of smoke]]--to—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.

== Necro - ''Russia'' ==
[[File:necro_3045necro 3045.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"You think I'm a freak? [[Painting the Fourth Wall|You should see some of these other characters]]!"''}}
 
Line 218:
 
== Sean - ''Brazil'' ==
[[File:sean_9267sean 9267.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Wow! [[Beginner's Luck|That actually worked]]! [[Idiot Hero|Next time I'll do it with skill]]!"''}}
 
Line 240:
 
== Oro - ''Brazil'' ==
[[File:oro_4939oro 4939.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Your moves are deadly... They could kill me by [[Victory Is Boring|boring me to death]]!"''}}
 
Line 272:
 
== Elena - ''Kenya'' ==
[[File:elena_2986elena 2986.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Get addicted to the beat! Rhythm can be your friend too!"''}}
 
Line 312:
 
== Gill - ''Unknown'' ==

== Urien - ''Egypt'' ==
[[File:urien_5467urien 5467.png|frame]]
{{quote|''"How dost thou suck? Let me count thy wounds. 1, 2, 3..."''}}
 
Line 397:

== Remy - ''France'' ==
[[File:remy_8402remy 8402.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Victory, glory, and honor... [[Being Good Sucks|Those ideals don't excite me a bit]]."''}}
 
Line 425:
 
== Q - ''Unknown'' ==
[[File:q_408q 408.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"''}}
 
Line 454:
 
== Makoto - ''Japan'' ==
[[File:makoto_1553makoto 1553.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Daddy, you believed in me! That win was for our Dojo!"''}}
 
Line 468:
* [[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]]
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: She is the female equivalent of Ryu--andRyu—and that's saying something considering the series' cast.
** 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]]
Line 493:
 
== Twelve - ''Russia'' ==
[[File:twelve_6270twelve 6270.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"01011.01111". (KO)''}}
 
Line 500:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: His win quotes are in binary, translating into such things as "EZ JOB", "PAIN", etc.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: He has a Super Art, X.C.O.P.Y., in ''3rd Strike'', which allows him to transform into his opponent for 15-2015–20 seconds. It almost turns into a [[Game Breaker]]--after—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...]]
Line 507:
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: He has the unique ability to dash ''in midair'', gliding short distances.
* [[Out of Focus]]: He hasn't appeared at all since his first appearance.
* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: A Bio-organic variation, yet not quite an example of [[Lovecraftian Superpower|Lovecraftian Superpowers]]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--andattack—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]]
* [[Wall Jump|Wall Jumper]]er: More of a Wall''glider'', actually.
* [[You Are Number Six|You Are Number Twelve]]: He's not the only of his kind, and it's implied that Twelve gains some kind of sentience in his ending, where his normally [[Monochromatic Eyes|blank eyes]] become like that of a human's.
 
Line 519:

== Hugo - ''Germany'' ==
[[File:hugo1_4801hugo1 4801.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"I'm number one!"''}}
 
Line 542:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Hugo is huge! {{spoiler|Really '''HUGE'''.}}
* [[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:Andr%C3%A9André 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.
