History DarthWiki / SEIKEN

* BlockingStopsAllDamage

* EvilCounterpart: Alluded to, as each character has a specific rival. However, the characters are different, the pairs closest to this being Kornelia and Kai on one hand and Waleed and Wilhelm on the other hand, and the rivals in this case are not evil, only DarkerAndEdgier.

* MegaCorp: There's a few huge familial enterprises. The Kahn Company is the most prominent due to being the center of attention with the Justice Fist, but Kinu and Wilhelm all are either heirs to a huge enterprise or owners of such.

* NotJustATournament: The fact that Waldemar has Wilhelm's father organize the Justice Fist for him and hired the Monaghan sisters to track down dark powers hint at this, and almost everyone has an agenda beyond just the tournament itself.

* AwesomeYetImpractical: Unblockable attacks are all very slow.

* MegaCorp: There's a few huge familial enterprises. The Kahn Company is the most prominent due to being the center of attention with the Justice Fist, but the Stuarts, Jesse, Kinu, and Wilhelm all are either heirs to a huge enterprise or owners of such.

%* MrFanservice / MsFanservice: Many characters fit "conventionally attractive" criteria, with men ranging from PrettyBoy to ManlyMan, and the females going from cute to drop-dead sexy.

* PracticalTaunt: Many stances, such as Martin and Kinu provoking their opponent as stances or Kai willingly letting down his guard. All of them have potent counter-hit tools out of their stances.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Some characters use pro-wrestling moves, namely Declan, Jesse, Kinu, Alvin, and Xarath.

[[folder:Zack Stuart]]
--> An American businessman's heir, Zack is also a martial arts champion. After winning a US-only championship, he was assaulted and challenged to settle the grudge.
!!!Tropes associated with Zack:
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He frequently taunts his opponents, and has the skills to back it up.
* FightingClown: He's a bit of a flashy show-off.
* PlayingWithFire: His ki not only takes a fiery shape, but sometimes ignites on its own.
* {{Shotoclone}}: Alluded to. He even has a move called ''Hado Kick'' that serves as his equivalent to a fireball (though it is only a [[ElementalPunch kick]] [[KungFuSonicBoom that produces explosive ki]]), has a {{Shoryuken}}, though the invulnerability is limited to his technical jump status and low hurtbox of the move. His hopkick can even be thought of as a HurricaneKick, as it moves forward a lot.
* SpoiledBrat: He was this in his youth, but his parents set him straight after they adopted Martin as a rival to him.

[[folder:Martin Stuart]]
--> Zack's adopted brother, he has kept an eye on Kahn. Upon hearing a businessman from Las vegas plans to start a partnership with Kahn, he sets out to prevent that.
!!!Tropes associated with Martin:
* TheAce: He has an acute business sense, is a world-class fighter, and none of that has any impact on his physical grace.
* CampStraight
* DeadpanSnarker: He reacts with mildly amused quips to even serious threats by other characters.
* TheFightingNarcissist
* GeniusBruiser: He took to business like a fish to water to the point he's basically the CEO of the Stuart family enterprise in all but name, and also a world-class fighter.

[[folder:Waleed El Dar]]
--> An Arab heir to a fortune, and a shareholder of a Swedish tournament organizer that's organizing the Justice Fist for Kahn. He enters to check it out.
!!!Tropes associated with Waleed:
* FightingClown: He looks like he's geared for a nightclub, and for the most part doesn't take fighting all that seriously.
* LethalJokeCharacter: While his generic moves are weaker than other characters', his lows are good enough that you must keep ducking him, unlike any other character in the game.
* PerpetualSmiler
* SunglassesAtNight: He wears sunglasses with bright blue lenses.

[[folder:Declan Drew]]
--> A former pro wrestler turned one-man paramilitary, he has sights on the Justice Fist Tournament, and assaults Zack Stuart to goad him into entering as well.
!!!Tropes associated with Declan:
* AmbiguousDisorder: No paramilitary firm would accept him for his near-psychotic behavior.
* AxCrazy: He's regarded as a clear danger to anyone nearby.
* BloodKnight: He's only in anything for the fighting itself.
* CloudCuckooLander
* CombatPragmatist: He has a plethora of dirty fighting moves.
* DeadpanSnarker: For all out-there he supposedly is, he has the occasional deadpan jabby reaction to a MotiveRant.
* {{Determinator}}: Alluded to by the FinalBoss, who notices how he's raring to go even though he just went through the Justice Fist tournament.
* ForTheLulz: Declan assaulted Zack after a tournament victory and challenged him to a grudge match at the Justice Fist because...
---> "Can't hurt to make it more interestin'."
* InTheHood: His default attire has a hoodie.
* PermaStubble
* WildCard: Nobody can truly pin him down.

[[folder:Jesse Gould]]
--> The heir to a floundering business, he was put in charge out of the blue, and seeks monetary help from Kahn to not have to declare bankruptcy.
!!!Tropes associated with Jesse:
* ConfusionFu: His fighting style needs this to be effective, with mixing up his two powerful moves.
* HairTriggerTemper: And it's not just due to his stressful situation — Jesse was getting into scraps as early as grade school and never stopped until he was put behind the desk.
* HotBlooded
* StreetSmart: He is a poor businessman, but looks much more like a "normal" person.
* UnknownRival: In terms of business, to the Stuarts. Due to being almost broke, Jesse can't be a business rival to them, but utterly loathes them.

[[folder:Wilhelm Larsson]]
--> The son of the Swedish tournament organizer that's organizing the Justice Fist, he enters to free his father from Kahn's corporate pressure.
!!!Tropes associated with Wilhelm:
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He takes pride in his fighting talent, sometimes a little much.
* BadassArmFold
* RedBaron: Some know him as "The Swede Devil", stemming from his absolute focus and [[PerpetualFrowner frozen scowl]] in combat.
* ShockAndAwe: Like the Mishimas from VideoGame/{{Tekken}}, Wilhelm has electric effects on some attacks... but that's just the form his ki takes.
* TheStoic: Wilhelm is extremely serious and focused.

* CoolLoser: Zack's opinion of him in his alternate rival fight, though Zack doesn't recognize Jesse's difficult financial situation.

* {{Bishonen}}: He's noticeably less toned than any other males.

* {{Bishonen}}: Yin and Martin are very camp.
