History Characters / TheRumbleFish

%%* BadassBeard

* MightyGlacier: The main grappler of the cast, and thus can inflict heavy damage to boot if used properly. However, he's one of the more agile grapplers in fighting game history so far.

* ConfusionFu: His Dasyatis Rush and its followups, being a staple of a mixup-type character.

* PlayingWithFire[=/=]StuffBlowingUp: Salamander Flame, Pitohui Blazing Bomb, Atrax Fang and Ophiophagus Dance.

** UnblockableAttack: His Dendrobates Shock Boost Dive in the second game turns all of his punch attacks into unblockable taser moves with little comboability.
* ThemeNaming: His moves are named after species of venomous creatures and/or genuses.

* LadyOfWar

* JackOfAllStats: Alongside Zen, though not as beginner-friendly since he's got a ton of followups on his moves.

* DeathFromAbove: His Fancy Kick move, which works a lot like Zen's Gasaikyaku.

** Her overhead command normal, Pinhead Split, her sliding kick special Biting Jest and her signature 3-way delayable special Piercing Heart all take the cake.

* DifficultButAwesome: She's got the confusing kit to help disorient her opponent with, but many of her moves are a bit difficult to use. Every move she makes needs to be a dedicated decision or else she can get dearly punished. She also lacks projectiles and any means of actual zoning.

* DifficultButAwesome: She's got the confusing kit to help disorient her opponent with, but many of them are a bit difficult to use. Every move she makes needs to be a proper decision or else she can get dearly punished.

* SpamAttack: Her Sweet Shuffle is an auto-combo ranbu version of her Piercing Heart, ending in cool leaping kick. Replaces her old Critical Art Trick and Tease in the second game.

* JackOfAllStats: Your typical {{shotoclone}}. What makes him stand out is his grounded anti-air special and his unique Boost Dive in the second game being a lasting version of his special move booster.

* CounterAttack: Much like [[VideoGame/Fatal Fury Geese Howard]] himself, where she possesses a set of nasty counter throws.

A short, elderly man who can emit shots of energy from his fingertips.

%%* BadassGrandpa
* FlungClothing: His hat, which he throws to the background before a match. His victory pose has the hat return to him.
* NerdGlasses

* BigBallOfViolence DiscretionShot: Her World's End move has her drag the opponent past one side of the screen to just pummel away at them before returning to the battlefield.
** FunnyBackgroundEvent: A random dude with a sign (which is someone she used as a footstool in the first game's console opening only in the said first game) also pops up on the opposite side. It changes in the second game.

* AttackItsWeakpoint[=/=]DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her Boost Dive, Detecting Eyes. Upon hitting a weakpoint that appears on her opponent for the duration, double damage is inflicted.
* BigBallOfViolence DiscretionShot: Her World's End move has her drag the opponent past one side of the screen to just pummel away at them.

* DifficultButAwesome: She's got very confusing moves, but many of them are a bit difficult to use. Every move she makes needs to be a proper decision or else she can get dearly punished.

* GirlsLikePink: Most of her attacks have pink-colored ki.
* {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Elena]]

* NiceShoes: Wears a pair of nice buckled knee-high boots.

** Has one in the form of a martial NoHoldsBarredBeatdown version in the form of his Critcal Art called the Gouraisenbu (Booming Thunder Whirling Martial) in the second game, where he basically performs his own version of the [[VideoGame/FatalFury Deadly]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Rave]] that it's a nine-input move instead of a ten-input move (but the final PowerPalms blow does two hits which add up to 10 in total regardless). The most updated version has him finishing with an uppercut instead.

* MovesetClone: She is Ken (speed and agility) to her sister's Ryu (raw damage and projectiles).

A playful woman who mainly attacks with her legs.

%%* MightyGlacier: The main grappler of the cast, and thus can inflict heavy damage to boot if used properly.

%%* TheBigGuy

* ChainPain: His Crotalus Fling and Rapicauda Capture (which is a grab version of it). A Offensive Art version of it in the second game known as Crotalus Barrage has him performing a SpamAttack with it.

* ThemeNaming: A ton of his moves are named after several species of venomous creatures and/or genuses.

* KamehameHadoken: His Zanshinken (Slaying Quake Fist), which doesn't go as far as other projectiles unless powered by his Kakonhou or Kakonshou.
** His first Critical Art, Ragou (Silk Throat/Voice) is a more straight example, where he punches a massive horizontal tornado beam across the screen (basically a more overture version of his Zanshinken). If it connects with the initial uppercut up close, then the move animated differently with more damage.

* SpamAttack: His Koujin Resshingeki (Aeon Swift Violent Quake Attack) Offensive Art, where once he lands his Kaijingeki (Demolishing Swift Strike) for the initial blow, he then goes to town with his opponent banging up against the wall for each time he smacks them.
