Line 39:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Despite the fact that Alex is the true lead character for the ''Street Fighter III'' series, both the [http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2011/jun/07/street-fighter-3-third-strike-online-edition-artwork-5/ cover art] and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uPuRm9G-zA E3 Trailer] for the upcoming online edition of ''3rd Strike'' show very little of him. By contrast, Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li (3 characters who were initially never supposed to appear in the series at all) have more presence in both.
* [[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
* [[Martial Arts Headband]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: [[Lightning Bruiser|Although some of his attacks do come out surprisingly fast]].
Line 51:
* [[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
** [[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]]
Line 129:
* [[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]] of the same sprite. After [[Divergent Character Evolution]] took place, they went on to appear in ''[[
** [[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 135:
** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Again, Yun.
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Both literally and figuratively. They even teamed up to ward off Gill.
* [[Battle in
* [[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 149:
** 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 ''[[
* [[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.
Line 176:
** [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her alt costume in Super [[
* [[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
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]
* [[Flash Step]]
Line 200:
* [[Speed Echoes]]
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: If not used in grab-range, her Yoroi-Doushi super art will turn into this.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her ninja outfit in ''Super Street Fighter IV'', particularly in her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATUQk-Puyv0 arcade ending], sure shows quite a bit of her hips, and then some, and gives viewers the impression that she's [[Going Commando]]. The [[Street Fighter (
Line 248:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Sean, Ryu and Ken are the only [[Shotoclone|shotos]] of the ''III'' series. [[Shoryuken|Now say it really fast]].
* [[Nerf]]: Of all of the cast of ''III'', Sean got it the worst. The guy was actually '''top tier''' in ''2nd Impact''. Then came the [[Sarcasm Mode|grand balancing act]] that was ''3rd Strike'', where he drops considerably ([[Lethal Joke Character|he's still effective, though; you just have to know how to use him]]).
* [[Out of Focus]]: Aside from a cameo in Ken's ending in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes
* [[Overshadowed
* [[Ryu and Ken]] somewhat of a subversion with him and Sakura as neither have the original normals or specials of their respective master/idol.
* [[Shotoclone]]: Could be seen as a subversion; despite being Ken's disciple, he actually has a unique moveset, being the only shoto character with Command grab(Sean tackle). As well as, his only projectile is a super attack, which is otherwise a staple special attack for this character type.
Line 264:
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Oro has a bright yellow-toned skin, for some reason.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He beat Ryu with only using one arm and withdrew from the tournament because he didn't see Alex and good competition.
* [[Chained
* [[Double Jump]]
* [[Energy Ball]]: Nichirin Shou; has a Super Art version called Yagyou Dama.
Line 302:
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]
* [[Dojikko]]: Tends to fall over during her victory handstands.
* [[Everything's Better
** [[Badass Princess]]: A somewhat tame example, but she still fits the bit.
* [[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.
Line 314:
* [[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.
* [[In Harmony
* [[Kick Chick]]: To the [[Extremity Extremist]]... [[Department of Redundancy Department|extreme]].
* [[Useful Notes/Kenya|Kenya]]: Her tribe hails from the Highlands outside the capital of Nairobi. Her beaded accessories (particularly her beaded collar) and extreme height suggest her design is based on Kenya's native [[wikipedia:Maasai people|Maasai people.]]
* [[Nice Girl]]: Isn't fighting because she likes the challenge, wants to be the best, or anything like that. She's only looking to meet new people.
* [[Out of Focus]]: Outside the ''III'' series and ''[[
* [[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.
Line 337:
{{quote| "I am your god!"}}
* [[An Ice Person]]: Gill [[Combo-Platter Powers|combines this with]]...
** [[Playing
* [[Anti-Villain]]: He really ''does'' have humanities best goals in mind. It's just too bad that his altruistic ideals are overshadowed by his very draconian methods.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
Line 371:
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Gill is presented as an idealistic leader who wish to become a benevolent World Monarch over his chosen people. However, his cult uses kidnapping, coercion, DNA manipulation, [[Brainwashing]], and extreme force in order to select the worthy subjects that would eventually repopulate Earth... [[The End of the World
{{quote| ''"My methods may seem harsh in contrast to my true intentions."''}}
Line 392:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: "Lie there as long as you want. I've had my fun with you."
* [[The Dragon]]: To Gill in ''SFIII''.
** [[Dragon
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Swap the last two letters of his name and you get '''Urine'''.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: He's named after a monarch that opposed the legendary King Arthur.
Line 399:
* [[Scary Black Man]]
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Read the above quote.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[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.
Line 421:
* [[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
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: No, seriously. He's a guy, and his shoes have noticeable heels.
* [[Counter Attack]]: His Blue Nocturne Super Art.
Line 429:
* [[French Jerk]]: Though probably because he's a nihilist.
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Despite being French, all of his quotes are in Japanese.
** [[Not Even Bothering
* [[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?''}}
Line 462:
* [[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
* [[The Unintelligible]]
* [[Vader Breath]]
Line 481:
* [[Bandage Babe]]: On her schoolgirl outfit.
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Character Exaggeration]] / [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: The ''[[Street Fighter (
* [[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 491:
* [[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
* [[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 524:
* [[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]]. He can morph his appendages into axes, to blades, to scissors, to tentacles, to drills, the list goes on.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[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]].
Line 540:
{{quote| Also known as Andore. A German wrestler and former criminal who went legit, making a name for himself in the American Pro Wrestling Circuit after the Mad Gear gang, who had employed him and his family at the time, was destroyed by Cody, Guy, and Haggar. His [[Just for Pun|MANager]] is the infamous Poison, a good friend of his from his Mad Gear days. In ''2nd Impact'', he seeks a worthy opponent to join him as a tag partner in the wrestling ring, and then he forms the "Huge Wrestling Army" with the rest of the cast in ''3rd Strike''.}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: A regular ([[Giant Mook|giant]]) [[Mooks|mook]] in the ''[[Final Fight]]'' games, he becomes part of the main roster in the ''III'' games, and is the first character introduced in ''III'' featured in ''[[
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: His low hard kick has Hugo throwing himself ass-first into his opponent.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Some English, some German. Hugo is also a ''spanish'' male name.
Line 560:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Just like his Andore family from Final Fight, Hugo is heavily inspired visually by [[wikipedia:Andr%C3%A9 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!]
