Viewtiful Joe/Characters: Difference between revisions

** As a [[Shout-Out]], he whistles the [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|theme]] [[Ear Worm|song]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros]].'' in the original. This was cut from the PS2 port and in the sequels.

* [[Expy]]: Possibly of [[Mega Man 2 (Video Game)|Quick Man]]. Roll's win quote against him in ''[[Tatsunokovs Capcom (Video Game)|Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' asks if Joe is [[Cosplay|cosplaying]] him.

* [[Playing With Fire]]: Red Hot Kick, when Zoomed in.

** In ''Double Trouble'', this is replaced by the V.F.O. ([[Fun With Acronyms|Viewtiful Flying Object]]), which instead [[Ray Gun|fires lasers]].

** [[Shout-Out]]: Cool Blue Kick? Silvia must have been a fan of [[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Remy]].

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Frequently misspelled as Sylvia. Even ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' makes this mistake.

* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Instead the mellow, sagely old man take present in the first two games, [[Gregg Berger]] voices Captain Blue with a much gruffer tone in ''Red Hot Rumble''. Unsurprisingly, he sounds almost exactly like [[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Jecht]].

* {{spoiler|[[Drunk With Power]]: After obtaining the Black Film.}}

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Charles the 3rd, Charles the Third, and Charles III.

* [[Shout-Out]]: "So what's with the [[Transformation Trinket|V-Watch]] on your arm, man? What? You think you some kind of [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]] or somethin'?"

* [[Everything's Even Worse With Sharks]]

* [[Playing With Fire]]

* [[Breath Weapon]]: [[Playing With Fire|Fire]].

* [[Everything's Better With Dinosaurs]]: Averted.

* [[Try to Fit That On A Business Card]]: "This is Sergeant John of the Fifth Panzer Division, First Reconnaissance Regiment, Second Platoon!"

* [[Everything's Squishier With Cephalopods]]

* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|Of [[Star Wars (Franchise)|Darth Vader]].}}

* [[Playing With Fire]]: The Dark Kaiser can launch ''flaming dragons'' as projectiles.

* [[Everything's Better With Spinning]]: His torso attack.

* [[Expy]]: Of [[RoboCop (Film)|Robocop]].

* [[Playing With Fire]]

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|[[Zig Zagging Trope|Zig-zagged.]]}}

* [[Playing With Fire]]

** {{spoiler|[[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Underworld Emperor Alastor can--understandably so--assume the form of himself (as in, Alastor the Devil Arm), although he only demonstrates this in the cutscene prior to your battle with him, in which he attempts to skewer Joe in the same way he [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]] Dante in his debut.}}

* [[Badass Creed]]: And it doubles as a nice [[Mythology Gag]] to [[Devil May Cry (Video Game)|his actual first words]].

* [[Badass in A Nice Suit]]: Un-henshined. That particular form of his even goes by the title of "Stylish Alastor."

* [[Expy]]: Probably one to [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Proto Man]] considering his character and the fact that they were both with Capcom.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: To the point of ''[[Leaning On the Fourth Wall|taking out a copy of the first game's script and reading from it]]'' before his battle with Joe.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Is one big walking bundle of ''[[Devil May Cry (Video Game)|Devil May Cry]]'' references.

* [[Mecha Mooks]]

'''[[Devil May Cry (Video Game)|Dante]]'''

'''[[Devil May Cry (Video Game)|Trish]]'''

* [[Distracted By the Sexy]]: Garners this reaction from Blue's wandering eyes in the intro to ''Red Hot Rumble''.
