* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: There's not a lot to be said about Joe, as can be seen from the minimal tropes under his name.

* StaticStunGun: In concept art for ''V'', he's shown to have traded in his batons for [[http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/eagle.jpg taser sticks ]]

* DrunkenMaster: [[http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/lee.jpg Has seemingly become this]] by ''V'' where he carries a gourd with him and has a DrunkenGlow about him.

* DrunkenMaster: [[http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/lee.jpg Has seemingly become this]] by ''V'' where he carries a gourd with him.

* SatelliteCharacter: Partially due to him not being in any other game but the forgotten original. All we know about him is that he's friends with Gen and is the uncle of Yun and Yang.

'''Appears in:''' ''SF'' (NPC), ''[=SFA3=]'' (GBA port and ''MAX'')

* LargeAndInCharge: He’s 7'5" ('''226''' cm) and 240 pounds (120 kgs), making him the fourth tallest character in the series, even standing over Zangief, though Zangief is heavier. The only other characters purely larger than Sagat are Abigail, who stands at 8' and 584 pounds; Hugo, 7'10 and 440 pounds; and Q, 7'6 and 340 pounds.

* LargeAndInCharge: He remains one of the tallest and most muscular characters in the series, even with other big-bodies like Zangief and T. Hawk appearing since, and is the renowned King of Muay Thai. He stands out in the first game as the tallest sprite and the [[EvilIsBigger closest thing]] to a BigBad.

'''Appears in:''' ''SF, [=SFA3=] MAX''

* OutOfFocus: He hasn't appeared at all since his first appearance, as Balrog pretty much made him redundant. It was thought for many years that he and Joe were the two fighting in the ''II'' intro, but that was apparently two completely unrelated characters named Max and Scott.

* OutOfFocus: He hasn't appeared at all since his first appearance. He and Mike are the only characters who haven't appeared in ''anything'' ''Street Fighter''-related since the original game. It was thought for a long time that the two guys fighting in the intro to ''II'' were Joe and Mike, but Capcom have stated that those were to completely different characters named Scott and Max.

'''Appears in:''' ''SF, [=SFA3=]''

* CharacterDevelopment: Some of the most pronounced in the early series. He goes from a confident street fighting champion in the first game, to a vengeful and enraged man filled with spite for Ryu in ''Alpha'', to trying to simply fulfill his duty to Shadaloo in ''II'' with ''Alpha'' retconning him to be more contemplative over whether vengeance would mean anything. By ''IV'', he [[HeelRealization realized]] just how twisted Bison and Shadaloo as a whole were, revoked his membership as one of the kings of the organization, and has become a FriendlyRival to Ryu, fully committing to a HeelFaceTurn, albeit still as a highly-spirited competitor.

* TurnsRed: His V-Trigger I literally turns him red, as it's induced by him eating a super hot chili pepper. When powered up, his specials do more damage, and he gains armor on his headbutt attacks.

-->'''Birdie:''' I'm never going back. ''Piss off, Shadaloo!''

-->'''Birdie:''' "Systema"? What's that? Can I eat it?

-->'''Birdie:''' I ain't with those Shadaloo wanks no more!

-->'''Eagle:''' ''(Vs. Dhalsim)'' I don't think that the saying "the longer, the better" holds true.\\
'''Eagle:''' ''(Vs. Zangief)'' Hmm... I'm so very sorry, but your body doesn't cause any particular feeling to bud in me.\\
'''Eagle:''' ''(Vs. Cammy)'' My apologies. I am not interested in young ladies.\\
'''Eagle:''' ''(Vs. [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]])'' Trying to seduce me with charm is useless. The reason? Don't ask dumb questions.

-->'''Adon''': Not bad, but not good enough to dethrone the king!

-->'''Adon''': Death awaits tigers and jaguars who have lost their fangs. When the mere act of living is humiliating, you're finished.

--> "Jaguar Kick!"\\
"Jaguar Tooth!"\\
"Rising Jaguar!"\\
"Jaguar Revolver!"

-->"Tiger Shot!"\\
"Tiger Uppercut!"\\
"Tiger KNEE!"

--> ''Tiger Uppercut!''

--> ''This disregard for the innocent has incurred the wrath of The King. [[ThisIsUnforgivable There will be no forgiveness!]]''

---> ''Believe in your own power and do not rely on mimicry of others.''

--> "A true warrior is not one who always wins, but one who stands after defeat."
* WarriorTherapist:
** Starting in ''IV'', where he actively tries to understand his opponents, and especially his greatest rival, Ryu. Although helpful, [[GoodIsNotNice he does not hold back]]. It even becomes a crucial plot point in his ''V'' Story Mode.
--->(''against Abel'' [''SSFIV'']): You are not yet ready to face me. Find your path and see where it leads.
--->(''against Rose'' [''SSFIV'']): You lost not because it was preordained but because you allowed yourself to.
--->(''against Makoto'' [''SSFIV'']: You have mastered the basics, but you still have a long way to go, child!

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the ''Street Fighter Alpha'' manga, Adon was presented as a far more villainous character. Not only did the manga introduce the character´s desire to have the Satsui No Hado for himself, but Adon is presented as working for Shadaloo in order to take revenge on Ryu (since in this continuity Sagat refused the call from the very beginning) and kills several fighters (including Eagle) for absolutely no reason. He also manages to force Ryu into giving in to the Satsui No Hado by making him believe that his friends were crushed to death.

* TheBusCameBack: Adon was the benefactor of this twice. After serving as the PreFinalBoss in the original ''Street Fighter'', he was mysterious absent throughout the entirety of the ''II'' series. Adon then got to make a comeback in the ''Alpha'' series, which was an Intequel between the original game and ''II.'' He once again went absent through the entirety of '''III''' before finally returning once more in ''IV.''
* CheshireCatGrin: The only way to wipe that smug grin off his face is to beat it off. No easy task, that...

* DivingKick: His Jaguar Tooth move has Adon leaping backwards onto the edge of the screen before launching himself in a high-speed flying kick.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Adon views being a loser as this, as seen by his attitude towards Sagat after the latter lost to Ryu. As far as he is concerned, Sagat is nothing if he isn't the undefeated God of Muay Thai.

* FieryRedhead: He sports orange-red hair and is hot-blooded with a hot temper.

* AGodAmI: "I will see them worship me as a god!" said to Sagat in ''Super Street Fighter IV'' before their rival match.
* GratuitousEnglish:

* {{Hypocrite}}: Absolutely chides and detests Sagat for losing to Ryu, as he believes that Sagat has disgraced Muay Thai, all while conveniently forgetting about the fact that Ryu defeated him without much effort before fighting Sagat.
* HypocriticalHumor: His win quote if you beat Abel in ''Super Street Fighter IV'' ("Obsession with the past is a sign of weakness, worm!") sounds a bit odd once you consider what his characterization is after the first game.

* {{Jerkass}}: To everyone, and he's not even an actual villain.

* MartialArtsHeadband: Technically, it's called a “Mong kon”.

* PerpetualSmiler: He ''always'' has that extremely arrogant and grotesque grin on his face.

* TheStarscream: Hell, his American dub voice even ''sounds'' like Starscream. Although unlike Starscream, he is not at all a DirtyCoward.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: His default costume.
