Line 220:
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Gratuitous English]] - He's the ''[[Trope Pantheons/Theater|God]]'' of it.
* [[Ground Pound]] - His signature Power Wave special and High Angle Geyser and Power Geyser [[D Ms]]DMs, as well as its Neo MAX version, Trinity Geyser.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]] - His Power Dunk is a modified basketball dunk.
Line 249:
* [[Chained by Fashion]]
* [[Counter Attack]] - One of his specials is him standing upright and picking his nose. When attacked, he sneezes and hits the enemy with his head.
* [[Death From Above]] - One of his [[D Ms]]DMs is him jumping high to deliver a powerful belly flop from above.
* [[Dumb Muscle]] - Chang's not all that bright. Some of it might be due to his tendency to bash his head against his giant iron ball. ''2000'' has an alternate form for him called "Smart Chang" (appearing only as a Striker), who's svelte and not quite as dumb looking.
* [[Exotic Weapon Supremacy]] - An [[Epic Flail]], to be exact.
Line 258:
* [[Metronomic Man-Mashing]] - His command throw.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] - one of his [[D Ms]]DMs.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
* [[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel]] - His strongest attack doesn't involve his iron ball (at least not directly), but his belly. He also bangs his head against his iron ball before a fight and in his current time out losing animation, breaks the chains that wrap his body.
* [[Time Stands Still]] - In ''2002UM'' this is his MAX 2. This happened in the original as well, but it was only for one powerful belly flop.
 
Line 314:
** [[Sunglasses At Night]]
** [[Hidden Eyes]]
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]] - '''Many''' of his moves involve it. He can even summon a big tornado while spinning very fast in one of his [[D Ms]]DMs.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] - With Chang. He ''does'' have a wife and family, he's just never been able to get back to them after he was press-ganged by Kim.
Line 472:
* [[Colonel Badass]]
** [[Commanding Coolness]]
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]] - In ''2000'', where "Ling"/Clone Zero holds him at gunpoint, but Heidern manages to turn the tides (depending on the ending) and [[Badass in Distress|kick some serious ass]]. He even pulls a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment!
* [[Energy Absorption]] - His Stormbringer and [[Counter Attack|Killing Bringer]] specials, as well as his Final Bringer DM.

* [[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel]] - His Galactica Phantom SDM is one of the most damaging attacks in the same game where Chang wields a huge iron ball as a weapon.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[Turns Red]] - ''Literally'' during his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxNAlSeaolk Jet Vulcan Punch Neo MAX] in ''XIII'', which is quickly followed up by ''the'' [[Spam Attack]] to end ''all'' Spam Attacks. Imagine the [[One Piece|Gum-Gum Jet Gattling]], [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA]], and [[Fist of the North Star|ATATATATATATATA]] doing a [[Fusion Dance]]. Then set it ''[[Incendiary Exponent|on fire]]'' and give it a range covering half the screen in front of him.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]] - Less than Clark, but still counts.
* [[You Don't Look Like You]] - Ralf and Clark switched to a completely different, [[Street Fighter II|Zangief-esque]] silhouette [[Art Shift|literally from one game to another]]. To the fandom's credit, [[Hand Wave|"intense training"]] ''[[Artistic License Biology|does not alter bone structure]]''...
Line 649:
* [[Luminescent Blush]] - The ''Art of Fighting'''s team ending for ''XIII''. {{spoiler|When Yuri none too subtly drops hints that she wants her as a sister-in-law (with Ryo standing right next to her and everything), King's face eventually becomes beet red.}}
** Also happens to both her and Ryo in their team's ending from ''XI'' when the two realize they're alone together in a restaurant. Cue [[Date Peepers|Yuri, Robert, and Takuma]] ([[Paper-Thin Disguise|poorly-disguised as a waitress, waiter, and the restaurant manager]]) [[Moment Killer|ruining the romantic mood.]]
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] - one of her [[D Ms]]DMs before ''XIII''.
* [[Promotion to Parent]] - Towards [[Ill Boy]] Jean.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]] - May we direct you [http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/File:Kof98.jpg here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V8Ta2KILHs here.]
Line 864:
** This feature appears to be making a triumphant return in ''XIII''.
* [[Cute but Cacophonic]] - It somehow got ''worse'' as the series progressed.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] [[Took a Level In Badass|-->]] [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Everything Makes a Mushroom]] - Simply put, her [[Death From Above|Haoh Raiouken Neo MAX]] in ''XIII'' is a portable [[Nuke'Em]].
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
Line 988:
* [[Comic Relief]] - Ever since his debut in ''Psycho Soldier'', Kensou has fallen into this role. In ''KOF'' it usually pops up in the form of wardrobe malfunctions and hijinks involving baozi (the meat dumplings he's seen chowing down on before a match).
** [[Let's Get Dangerous]] - His design starting with ''XII'' ventures over here, though he still has some silliness in him (use his [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]] attack for too long and Kensou becomes exhausted).
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] - Athena's independent and strong character is what makes Kensou look foolish in comparison, but when Athena does need help is where Kensou shows he is someone she can rely on. Kensou droped the [[Idiot Ball]] when he had to awaken his Dragon Spirit powers to save Athena in ''KOF '99''. Other situations can be found in Athena's exclusive game for [[Play StationPlayStation]], ''Awakening from the Ordinary Life'', where Athena is being constantly haunted due being quite a dark RPG. Kensou proves to be a great ally and support for Athena as he cheers her up in crucial events during the adventure.
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - Happens to Kensou in some of Athena's games, specially the [[Dating Sim]] ones where the player character assumes the role of her manager or just an average guy seeking for love; Kensou is mercilessly thrown in the background, serving only as a cameo, in a continuity where apparently his love for Athena isn't that strong to try and compete with the given player character, or actually such affections didn't exist at all. Exception goes ''Awakening from the Ordinary Life'', as mentioned in this page before, Kensou is a great support to Athena.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]] - To Athena, though it happens more in the ''KOF: Kyo'' related media. It's taken to [[Flanderization]] [[Stalker with a Crush|heights]] in fanfiction.
