Line 10:
* [[Game Breaker]]: Siba.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Sarah/Vanessa has some popularity among fans who can easily see a [[Bodyguard Crush]] forming.
* [[Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales]]: ''Virtua Fighter'' has long been popular in arcades in the Middle East, and many Youtubers from those countries have commented that they really like Siba and wish he had been in the game, noting both his badass mercenary appearance and the general rarity of Arab characters in fighting games. In particular, Siba is noted as one of the few Arab characters in games who is not explicitly identified as a villain.
* [[Moe]]: Eileen, ''hands down''.
* [[Narm]]: Anything spoken in English.
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
** Wolf's Burning Hammer in ''Final Showdown'', the single most damaging move in the game.
* [[Toy Ship]]: Lion/Elieen for some. Granted, both of them are teenagers, but they're still the youngest in the cast.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Most of the character models and faces in ''3'' look rather off by today's standards. Dural in general also invokes this.
* [[The Woobie]]: ''Everyone'' who has been a victim of J6.
** Kage-Maru and his mother Tsukikage. Kage's mother was abducted and turned into Dural, not to mention his father being killed and his entire clan being wiped out. Even after he saved her, Kage's mother ended up turning back into Dural, and he resolved to finally mercy kill her. The poor ninja has lost almost everything. The only bright side is the Dural he destroyed was just a mass production model.
** Jacky suffered a massive injury that took two years to recover from because of J6 sabotaging his race car, and then they kidnapped Sarah and brainwashed her into trying to kill him when she investigated what happened. Jacky failed to save her in the first tournament, and even after he did in the second she suffered amnesia and felt no connection to him. Thankfully Sarah got her memories back, but now she's left wondering if she subconsciously really did want to kill her brother. She sees Jacky as a rival now, and they have become much more distant. Jacky is trying to reach out to Sarah, but the ordeal has changed her. And J6 ''still'' continues to harass them.
** Vanessa's parents were killed, she was kidnapped, and she had her body experimented on when she was just a child, all to turn her into another of J6's assassins. She was rescued by Lewis, but he was killed by J6 years later. When Vanessa entered the fourth tournament, she was captured and experimented on yet again for who knows how long before being rescued. She has no memory of what happened, and is struggling to remember. Vanessa became friends with Jacky and Sarah, and her missing is implied to be a big deal to them.
** Pai lost her mother because of her father Lau's obsession with martial arts, and has spent years trying to defeat him. She has only recently started to patch things up with him, right when he's dying of an illness. Now Pai just wants her dad to be proud of her before he dies.
** Goh and Jean could each be considered [[Jerkass Woobie|Jerkass Woobies]], as neither of them were rescued from J6 and ended up becoming the brutal assassins that Sarah and Vanessa managed to avoid.
** Lion has some major father issues, and is implied to be a [[Lonely Rich Kid]] since he lost his friend Jean when they were young. It doesn't help that his father's company is being manipulated by J6 and Jean, who has little memory of their past friendship, has been sent out to kill several of the tournament competitors, Lion included.
* [[Woolseyism]]: The English dub of the anime has a lot of these, making some jokes work better in English, adding in some extra funny lines, and making characters like Jacky and Pai more snarky.
