Tekken/Characters/4: Difference between revisions

* [[British Accents]]: He has had at least two so far.

** To clarify, he was given a North London accent in ''4''. In ''5'', however, Steve spoke with a more stereotypical Southern British accent ([[National Stereotypes|much to the chagrin of British fans]]), which was retained in ''6''.

* [[Every Scar Has a Story]]: The one on his left arm, probably from his unusual birth.

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Kicking is for wimps!

** However, one of his few kicking moves is [[Combat Pragmatist|a stomp on his opponent's foot]].

** In ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', he does have an actual kick as an item move. Needless to say, it hurts for him to kick.

* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]: Good old fashioned boxing.

** [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Has one such attack (a series of super-fast body blows).

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Quick as a whip, has some very sneaky attacks and deceptive movement patterns, and is the best dang character in ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion'' (and even before that, always a [[Character Tiers|high-tier character]] in any of his appearances).

* [[Megaton Punch]]: Spitfire.

* [[Luke, You Are My Father|Nina, You Are My Mother]]

* [[Power Fist]]

* [[Quest for Identity]]: And what he discovers isn't exactly a good thing.

* [[Shoryuken]]: His [[Stance System|Peekaboo-Stance]]-specific Dreadnought Uppercut is basically this.

** You can also, through the use of customization, make him look like [[Eminem]] in ''Tekken 5''.

* [[Stance System]]: Flicker stance and Peekaboo introduced in 6.

 

 

== Christie Monteiro ==

 

The grand-daughter of a Capoeira master. She became acquainted with her grandfather's prison mate Eddy Gordo who was released before him and from Eddy, she learnt Capoeira. They became friends, but Eddy suddenly vanished trying to allocate his parents murderer. Worried about him, Christie entered the fourth tournament to find out what happened to him. They succeeded in reuniting, and shortly thereafter her grandfather was released from prison, though he's terminally ill and an operation would not be possible without advanced technology from the Mishima Zaibatsu. Christie entered the 5th tournament, but loses. When she returned home, not only was her grandfather missing, but Eddy as well. Her only clue was in the 6th tournament.

** She does wear sandals in her alternate outfits, though.

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Capoeira and all.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: And ''how''.

** [[Foreign Fanservice|She's Brazilian]].

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Xanthe Smith was replaced by Lisle Wilkerson after ''4''.

* [[Ryu and Ken]]: She becomes one for Eddy, seemingly taking the Ken route (speed-focusing).

* [[She's Got Legs]]

** The [[Live Action Adaptation]] pairs her with Jin for some reason...

* [[Shorttank]]: Right down to her outfit.

*** Probably something to do with Carnivale.

* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: Lisle Wilkerson voices Christie and Nina in ''5''. Wilkerson voices Christie and Zafina in ''6''.

* [[Underboobs]]: One of her outfits feature this

* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In form of one [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]. To Eddy. Read above.}}

== Craig Marduk ==

 

 

A huge, ''brutal'' Vale Tudo fighter, at the top of the world. Then he gets in a drunken brawl with Armor King, and killed him. He pled guilty to second-degree manslaughter and was put in prison. Then someone managed to buy him out of prison, and gave him tickets to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Curious, he visits.

When he recovers, Craig calls out to King, in the worst way: by wearing Armor King's mask and taunting him. This pisses off King, and they meet. Before their match, Craig announces that they'll fight 'fair and square'. Craig... loses again, but this time he's helped up by King, and they become friends.

 

 

Tropes associated with Craig:

* [[Carpet of Virility]]: A far cry from the waxed chest look any other shirtless male has. Hell, Marduk is the only male character with any visible body hair.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: In his (non-canon) ending from ''4'', he returns to the Vale Tudo circuit where he was one champion for private reflection in the arena. He's approached by the current champion who mocks and taunts him, and challenges him to a fight. Marduk lays him out with a single headbutt.

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: With King. Armor King, on the other hand, is ''not'' going this route.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[I Have a Family]]: Subversion. Marduk doesn't get a chance to say this ([[Curb Stomp Battle|seeing as King had just finished using Marduk's body to paint the town red]]), but when King sees a picture of Marduk's family, he decides to relent and spare him.

* [[John Dimaggio]]: His voice actor since ''5''.

* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: He's Australian, yet sounds ''American''.

** [[Retcon]]: He was originally American; he was retconned to Australian after Nathan Jones (an Australian actor/wrestler who he was originally modeled after) was cast as him in the live action movie. Granted, they didn't bother getting an Aussie voice actor after the switch.

** One of his customization options in ''6'' is based on Mike Tyson's face tattoo

* [[Take That]]: An in-universe example. While challenging King before the fifth tournament, he's seen wearing a black jaguar mask like that of Armor King. King is ''not'' amused.

* [[You Killed My Father]]: He instigates this with King II {{spoiler|and Armor King II}}, though King II easily forgave him.

 

 

Tropes associated with Combot:

* [[The Bus Came Back]]: Combot hasn't been seen since ''Tekken 4'' but the console version of ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' brings him back as a teaching tool in the game's Fight Lab mode. You can also use Combot in other modes, programming him with different moves from other fighters.

* [[Ditto Fighter]]
