| 7 | [[folder:Ray [=McDougal=]]] |
| 8 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ray_40.jpg]] |
| 9 | -> '''Origin:''' USA |
| 10 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/usa_1961.png]] |
| 11 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Self-taught |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AnimeHair: Very similar to a [[Franchise/DragonBall Super Saiyan's]], in fact. |
| 14 | * BloodKnight: A mild example. Ray hates standing still and is almost always on the go, seeking out the next big case or worthy challenger. |
| 15 | * BlowYouAway: Big Tornado, judging by its name and appearance at least. |
| 16 | %%* BoisterousBruiser |
| 17 | * CowboyCop: By the time of ''Dynamite'', he's working as a detective stationed in Los Angeles. |
| 18 | * FairCop: Though not much is made of his looks throughout the series. |
| 19 | * TheHero: He's presented as the protagonist of the series and is an unambiguously heroic character, always looking to better himself in combat. Despite being American, he's essentially this series' equivalent to [[Characters/StreetFighterI Ryu]]. |
| 20 | * ShockAndAwe: His Thunder Dynamite Tackle is an enhanced version of the attack that sees Ray envelop himself in an aura of lightning, and is one of the most damaging attacks in the entire game. |
| 21 | * SpiritedCompetitor: In both of his endings, he refuses to accept Karnov's fortune and helps the man back to his feet, only concerned with having a good fight which would determine the stronger of the two. |
| 22 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: His throws are [=DDTs=]. |

| 25 | [[folder:Makoto Mizoguchi]] |
| 26 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mizoguchi.jpg]] |
| 27 | -> '''Origin:''' Japan |
| 28 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/japan_4602.png]] |
| 29 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Jissen Karate |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ---- |
| 32 | %%* AlliterativeName |
| 33 | * AnimalMotifs: Considering that [[ThemeNaming three of his specials have the word "Tiger" in them]] and his Tiger Bazooka [[ShapingYourAttacks is even in the shape of a tiger]], the tiger. |
| 34 | * BatterUp: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URzSEYTg1bQ Exclusive to his appearance in]] ''Suiko Enbu'', Mizoguchi [[ShapingYourAttacks can create a baseball bat out of his spiritual energy]] and use it to whack opponents, knocking them out of the park (and into walls). |
| 35 | %%* BigOlEyebrows |
| 36 | * BreakoutCharacter: Compared to Ray, TheHero. Out of the entire cast, Mizoguchi is by far the most memorable character of ''Fighter's History'' and one of only ''two'' combatants from the series to show up anywhere else in fighting game history. |
| 37 | %%* TheChewToy |
| 38 | * {{Expy}}: Seems to be one of [[Manga/SakigakeOtokojuku Momotaro Tsurugi]], due to his general appearance, as well as his Tiger Bazooka and Gottsui Tiger Bazooka being his Rising Ki Tiger Spirit (or Shinki Fukon, depending on what translation you prefer) technique. |
| 39 | * GuestFighter: In ''VideoGame/SuikoEnbu'' (alongside Yungmie) and ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Maximum Impact: Regulation A''. |
| 40 | * HotBlooded: Mizoguchi signals every single one of his special moves with a boisterously loud battle cry, whether he's [[CallingYourAttacks screaming out the name of the move itself]] or in the case of Renzoku Keri, yelling out [[{{Kiai}} CHESTO]] with each successive kick. |
| 41 | %%* TheIdiotFromOsaka |
| 42 | %%* KiManipulation |
| 43 | %%* MartialArtsHeadband |
| 44 | * RunningGag: After being scouted by the Chinese mafia due to his abilities, Mizoguchi eventually grows homesick and attempts to leave the gang during each tournament he competes in, all of which (with the exception of ''KOF MI:RA'') inevitably end in failure. |
| 45 | %%* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: His combat attire, [[WalkingShirtlessScene although he discards the coat jacket]]. |
| 46 | * {{Shotoclone}}: Ayup. Compare his Tiger Bazooka to the [[EnergyBall Hadouken]] (with the Gotsui Tiger Bazooka functioning as the Shinkuu Hadouken), his Koryusai and Tsutensai to the {{Shoryuken}}, and his Renzoku Keri to the [[HurricaneKick Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku]] (although it's closer functionally to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Dan]]'s Dankuukyaku or [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Sean]]'s Tornado). |
| 47 | %%* SpiritedCompetitor |

| 51 | [[folder:Ryoko Kano ]] |

| 53 | -> '''Origin:''' Japan |
| 54 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/japan_4602.png]] |
| 55 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Judo |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | |
| 58 | %%* Action Girl |
| 59 | * ChildProdigy: Started with judo at age ''three''. |
| 60 | * CuteBruiser: She's very sweet-looking, and fights using a no-nonsense style of judo, completely averting SheFu. |
| 61 | * DisappearedDad: Her father left her at an early age, which is why she carried on the family judo practice. Her father returns in the ending to ''Fighter's History Dynamite''. |
| 62 | * {{Expy}}[=/=]NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: |
| 63 | ** Of RealLife judoka [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryoko_Tani Ryoko Tani.]] |
| 64 | ** Her story also takes a few pages from ''Manga/YawaraAFashionableJudoGirl''. |
| 65 | * GlacierWaif: To an extent. [[LightningBruiser She's surprisingly agile for a grappler.]] |
| 66 | * LittleMissBadass: At 17, she skirts the line, and is at least a head shorter than all the other fighters. |
| 67 | %%* PlayingWithFire: Her Mountain Storm throw. |
| 68 | %%* PluckyGirl |
| 69 | %%* RaisedByGrandparents |
| 70 | * {{Tomboy}}: Ostensibly; she sports short, unadorned hair and a big baggy judo gi. Her fighting style is also practical, no-nonsense and more of a type normally associated with male fighting game characters, featuring some brutal takedowns. |
| 71 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She looks 14, ''tops''. |
| 72 | * UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Averted; her Zenten Ukemi doubles as both an evasive maneuver ''and'' an attack. |
| 73 | %%* WaifFu |
| 74 | [[/folder]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder:Liu Feilin]] |
| 77 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/feilin.jpg]] |
| 78 | -> '''Origin:''' China |
| 79 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2f94b01e_bb11_45df_915d_78592d958ae2.png]] |
| 80 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Mantis-style Kung-Fu |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | |
| 83 | %%* Action Girl |
| 84 | * AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Master of the Mantis style. |
| 85 | * ArmorIsUseless: Wears a chestplate in battle... which doubles as her [[AttackItsWeakPoint weak spot]]. |
| 86 | * ArrogantKungFuGirl: Her main character traits are that she's highly skilled in Mantis-style kung-fu, and is very vain to boot. |
| 87 | * BeautyIsBad: Not so much "bad" as "{{vanity|IsFeminine}}." Feilin is ''very'' proud of her looks, nearly to the point of narcissism, but she isn't too bad otherwise. |
| 88 | * CleavageWindow: [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/snk/images/3/3b/Feilin.GIF On her top underneath the armor.]] |
| 89 | * CulturedBadass: She's a Beijing Opera star when not competing in fighting tournaments. |
| 90 | * TheFightingNarcissist: Might toe the line. And if she is, she'd count as one of the few non-malevolent examples. (She's full of herself, yeah, but she's not evil.) |
| 91 | * InsultToRocks: In the original ''Fighter's History'', she tells Marstorius "My hairdresser has better moves than you!" |
| 92 | %%* KiManipulation |
| 93 | %%* LadyOfWar |
| 94 | * MsFanservice: A rather tame one, and mostly on the basis of her mannerisms and personality as opposed to her design itself; Feilin is conservatively dressed, even wearing ornamental ([[ClothingDamage but not all too sturdy]]) armor into battle. |
| 95 | * ProudBeauty: She's very vain and is well aware of how beautiful she is, with her vanity being her most prominent characteristic. |
| 96 | %%* TheRival: As of ''Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!'', Yungmie. |
| 97 | %%* SheFu: Dabbles in it a bit, but not as bad as some. |
| 98 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: The Liu is sometimes spelled as Ryu (which is how her name is rendered in Japanese), while Feilin is occasionally hyphenated (i.e. "Fei-lin"). |
| 99 | * StereotypesOfChinesePeople: Top Beijing Opera actress. Curiously, she's not your stereotypical AnimeChineseGirl, although she falls far closer to it than a DragonLady. |
| 100 | * WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Views herself as such and is equally determined to prove herself as the strongest fighter as well. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | [[/folder]] |
| 103 | |
| 104 | [[folder:Matlok Jade]] |
| 105 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/matlok.jpg]] |
| 106 | -> '''Origin:''' England |
| 107 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/UK_9231.png]] |
| 108 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Acrobatics / brawling |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | |
| 111 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To Guile, alongside Jean. Matlok's Spinning Wave projectile is a dead ringer for Guile's Sonic Boom. There's also some [[VideoGame/FatalFury Duck King]] in there with his general design and DanceBattler fighting style. |
| 112 | %%* AnimeHair: A quite epic blond (or red) mohawk. |
| 113 | * BritishRockstar: He fronts a punk rock band that can be seen in the background of his ''Dynamite'' stage, which is set at one of his gigs, and in a [[ShownTheirWork curious turn of events]] (given the age of the series), he's even voiced with an approximate Cockney/SE London accent -- "Spinnin' Wive!". |
| 114 | * CoolShades: Sports a pair of wraparound sunglasses, which get smashed up on his defeated screen. |
| 115 | %%** SunglassesAtNight |
| 116 | * DanceBattler: To a degree -- he's a very agile fighter, flipping all over the screen. |
| 117 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based off of Music/SexPistols' bass guitarist Glen Matlock. |
| 118 | * PunkRock: He's a classic English punk rock musician, and joins the tournament in search of a famous electric guitar. |
| 119 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Matlok, not Matlo'''c'''k, which is likely a deliberate, legally-safe misspelling as he's named after a real person ([[Music/{{SexPistols}} Glen Matlock]]), even though it would never be spelled that way in England. |
| 120 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Sports combat pants and his torso is bare save for a studded leather harness in keeping with his punk theme. |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:Samchay Tomyamgun]] |
| 124 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/samchay.jpg]] |
| 125 | -> '''Origin:''' Thailand |
| 126 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thailandflag.jpg]] |
| 127 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Muay Thai |
| 128 | |
| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | * {{Expy}}: Being a nak muay and given his moveset, it's a bit hard to ''not'' compare him to [[Franchise/StreetFighter Sagat]]. |
| 131 | * {{Gonk}}: Most of the series' characters are conventionally handsome, bar the evil duo of Clown and Karnov -- apart from Samchay that is, who's conventionally very plain, sporting a long, sallow face and big rubbery lips. |
| 132 | * MartialArtsHeadband: A Mongkhon in his case, traditionally worn by Thai boxers. |
| 133 | * PromotionToParent: Takes care of his two younger brothers and a little sister. |
| 134 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Looks like he's almost in his 30's, but considering that he has pre-teen siblings to take care of, he's most likely in his early 20's ''tops''. |
| 135 | [[/folder]] |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder:Lee Diendou]] |
| 138 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lee_1.jpg]] |
| 139 | -> '''Origin:''' China |
| 140 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2f94b01e_bb11_45df_915d_78592d958ae2.png]] |
| 141 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Bājíquán |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | |
| 144 | %%* ArrogantKungFuGuy |
| 145 | %%* BareFistedMonk |
| 146 | %%* KiManipulation: Particularly used to empower his various punches. |
| 147 | * ShoutOut: Named after famed Bājíquán teacher Li Shuwen. His fighting style is also evocative of the one seen in ''Manga/{{Kenji}}''. |
| 148 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Lee can be rendered as Li, and Diendo(u) is sometimes spelled as Tien-hou or Tendok. |
| 149 | * YouKilledMyFather: Is searching for the murderer of his dad. [[spoiler:His OldMaster barely manages to stop him from killing the culprit, Karnov, reminding him of the elder Lee's teachings.]] |
| 150 | [[/folder]] |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[folder:Jean Pierre]] |
| 153 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean_7.jpg]] |
| 154 | ->'''Origin:''' France |
| 155 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frenchflag.png]] |
| 156 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Gymnastics |
| 157 | |
| 158 | ---- |
| 159 | |
| 160 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To Guile, alongside Matlok, but only in terms of his moveset. |
| 161 | * AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Jean Pierre's stage is set in what appears to be Versaille Palace, and despite the series' modern-day setting, his supporters are all sporting late 1700s court fashions. |
| 162 | * TheCasanova[=/=]TheCharmer: In spite of the less... attractive facets of his personality, Jean seems to have [[PetTheDog a bit of a soft spot for women]]. He shows more than a passing interest in Feilin while commending her skills and also appears to do a bit of flirting with Yungmie (or at least trying to pass on a bit of advice) given his win quote against her. In ''Dynamite'', he also decides to pull his punches with Ryoko. |
| 163 | * TheFightingNarcissist: Well, he ''is'' a gym practitioner as well as a fighter. |
| 164 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: His Needle Shower and Quick Needle Shower. Doubles as an homage to ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' as the attack resembles Shin's signature finger strike techniques and the battle cry he performs is identical to the one used by Kenshiro during his Hundred Crack Fist. |
| 165 | * SecondPlaceIsForLosers: In gymnastics, he always had a perfect score... then he received a 9.98, as he's ThePerfectionist, this sent him into a rage. |
| 166 | * SheFu: [[GenderInvertedTrope Male equivalent]], although such is to be expected of a gymnast. |
| 167 | * SomethingAboutARose: He uses a rose ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser as a projectile]]''. Yes, even [[UrExample before]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Dudley]] became famous for it. |
| 168 | * WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Wears the ''Tricolore'' of France on his left pant leg, AmbidextrousSprite notwithstanding. |
| 169 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Uses a [[MurderousThighs Frankensteiner]] for his throw. |
| 170 | [[/folder]] |
| 171 | |
| 172 | [[folder:Marstorius]] |
| 173 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marstorius.jpg]] |
| 174 | ->'''Origin:''' Italy |
| 175 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/italyflag_3.png]] |
| 176 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Wrestling |
| 177 | ---- |
| 178 | |
| 179 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To Zangief, being big bearded professional wrestlers with a nasty German suplex and a booming voice. |
| 180 | * AncientRome: His design takes inspiration from the Roman gladiators of antiquity. |
| 181 | * BoisterousBruiser: By far the loudest character in the game, and definitely the biggest and strongest. |
| 182 | * {{Expy}}: Of pro wrestler [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruiser_Brody Bruiser Brody.]] He also slightly resembles the late tenor [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciano_Pavarotti Lucciano Pavaroti.]] |
| 183 | * HenpeckedHusband: The only person capable of "keeping him in line" is his wife. [[BrawnHilda Who's just as big and strong as he is.]] |
| 184 | * JumpPhysics: As a counterbalance to his damaging throws (most infamously, the dreaded [[SuplexFinisher Double German]]), Marstorius has a very low jump (the lowest in the game), making it hard for him to effectively deal with and counter the numerous projectiles most of the remaining fighters have access to. |
| 185 | * ManInAKilt: He dons a gladiator style kilt as part of his professional wrestling attire. |
| 186 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Very clearly modelled after the late Bruiser Brody, right down to the furry leg warmer boots. |
| 187 | * NoIndoorVoice: Easily the loudest character in the game, Marstorius screams all of his voice lines at the top of his lungs. |
| 188 | * MightyGlacier: Marstorius is by far the slowest character in the game, and his jump arc is pitiful. But when he's in, he can close out the round in just a few seconds. |
| 189 | %%* ProWrestlingIsReal |
| 190 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Marstorius, Marstorious and Marstrius have all been used in official material. The former seems to be the most consistent. |
| 191 | %%* WildHair |
| 192 | [[/folder]] |
| 193 | |
| 194 | [[folder:Clown]] |
| 195 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clown_7.jpg]] |
| 196 | ->'''Origin:''' Unknown |
| 197 | ->[[quoteleft:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10c06342_71a7_425a_a1f4_b6d32940b6f7.png]] |
| 198 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Circus acrobatics |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | |
| 201 | %%* AxCrazy |
| 202 | * CampGay: Clown's endings in the Japanese versions actually involves him trying to pick up younger men. The endings were altered in the English versions to downplay Clown's homosexuality, yet the manual for Karnov's Revenge still makes references to his sexual preference by stating that he likes "young boys" and is seeking an "attractive male fighter." |
| 203 | * CoolMask: He sports a very creepy ''pierrot'' style mask as part of his clown schtick. |
| 204 | * CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Clown definitely has the most shrill voice among all the male fighters. Paired with his MonsterClown aesthetic and predatory antics, it makes him a rather unsettling individual. |
| 205 | * DeathDealer: He hurls tarot cards in combat -- [[CallingYourAttacks "Pick a card!"]] |
| 206 | * DepravedHomosexual: As an evil character, he's presented as such, leering at Jean Pierre, and in his official bio under "likes", he lists "pretty young boys". |
| 207 | * EvilLaugh: Both his victory pose and his throw have Clown belting out a shrill giggle. |
| 208 | * TheFightingNarcissist: His stage in ''Dynamite'' even has a gigantic self portrait of himself in the background, to really hammer the point home. |
| 209 | * HatedByAll: His ending in ''Dynamite'' states that he is "thoroughly hated by all fighters" and a "menace to society" that nobody can stop. |
| 210 | * InsultToRocks: His win quote against Marstorius in ''Dynamite''. |
| 211 | -->"My poodle is stronger than you!" |
| 212 | * InTheHood: He sports a jester-style purple hood. |
| 213 | * LaughablyEvil: Arguably qualifies on his better days. |
| 214 | * MonsterClown: A very odd, creepy character based on a circus clown, who acts as a sub-boss to Karnov. |
| 215 | * PracticallyJoker: A LaughablyEvil clown with various circus-themed weapons, he's similar to the Joker albeit ugly, which is why he wears his mask. According to cut content from the first game, his name was originally meant to be "Joker" but was renamed. |
| 216 | * RollingAttack: His Spin Attack and Spinning Drop. Both are performed in a distinctly [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Blanka]] fashion. |
| 217 | * SissyVillain: He's arrogant, effeminate and not a very good person. He has a fascination with feminine looking men and his character bio mentions that he hates staying up late because it interferes with his beauty sleep. |

| 219 | |
| 220 | [[folder:Karnov]] |
| 221 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karnov.jpg]] |
| 222 | ->'''Origin:''' Russia |

| 224 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Unknown |
| 225 | ---- |
| 226 | * AdaptationalBadass: In most of his appearances, Karnov is a rather silly character, and when he's an enemy it's usually a generic one or an early game boss. In this series however, he's the main antagonist and final boss. |
| 227 | %%* TheAtoner: In his backstory. |
| 228 | * BalloonBelly: He can unleash the "Balloon Attack", where he inflates himself to crush his opponents. |
| 229 | * BigBad: He's the final boss of the original game and its sequel, which even bears his name in the title. |
| 230 | * BlingOfWar: Downplayed; Karnov wears [[GoldMakesEverythingShiny a rather elaborate golden necklace]], but that's it. |
| 231 | * BloodKnight: Karnov lives to fight strong opponents, and only respects his fellow warriors. |
| 232 | * CanonImmigrant: Had his own game, ''VideoGame/{{Karnov}}''. |
| 233 | * EyesAlwaysShut: Unlike his depiction in his own game, here Karnov is usually drawn with beady black, heavily lidded eyes. |
| 234 | * FatBastard: Downplayed. Karnov is the final boss and main antagonist, but he's not really malicious or evil, just extremely battle hungry. |
| 235 | * FatFlex: Sucks in his gut in one of his victory animations. |
| 236 | * FatSuit: As seen in this [[https://mobile.twitter.com/turfmasta/status/1270829426725380096 concept art]] provided with the official CD soundtrack. |
| 237 | * FormerlyFit: Happens to him after the first game. |
| 238 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: On his stomach, giving him more than a passing resemblance to [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Heart]]. |
| 239 | * {{Irony}}: Was forced to work for God for fighting people all the time, yet when he leaves the heavens after his sentence is over, he establishes a tournament to, you guessed it, fight. |
| 240 | * {{Leitmotif}}: His theme in ''Dynamite'' is a rearrangement of his theme from ''Karnov''. |
| 241 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He bears more than a passing resemblance to Abdullah the Butcher, a professional wrestler infamous for participating in bloody deathmatches. |
| 242 | * PlayingWithFire: BreathWeapon variant -- he can blast a gout of flame for one of his specials. |
| 243 | * RedBaron: "The God of Battle." Additionally, Zazie refers to him as the "King of the Desert." |
| 244 | * StoutStrength: Though he's certainly [[FormerlyFit let himself go]] since the ''Karnov'' days. |
| 245 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: [[FanDisservice While he should cover up more]], it's probably necessary considering Karnov can inflate himself. |
| 246 | * YellowPeril: Despite being from Russia, he shares some characteristics with the classic ''Literature/FuManChu'' villain archetype. |

| 250 | |
| 251 | [[folder:Liu Yungmie]] |
| 252 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yungmie.png]] |

| 255 | ->'''Fighting style:''' Taekwondo |
| 256 | |
| 257 | ---- |
| 258 | %%* Action Girl |
| 259 | * AmazonianBeauty: She has the whole "Chun-Li thunder thighs" thing going on. Her arms aren't anything to scoff at either. |
| 260 | * BadassAdorable: Has her moments, more so in ''Suiko Enbu: Fuunsaiki'' than in the series proper, but of note is the fact that her [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished defeat portrait]] is downright pitiable: Feilin looks disappointed by her loss, Ryoko scowls, ''Yungmie is on the verge of tears''. |
| 261 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 262 | ** She's the Korean equivalent of [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun-Li]], albeit to varying extents. Her design has a few traits in common with Chun-Li (particularly her ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha]]'' incarnation), such as the tights and eyeshadow. She's also a KickChick like Chun-Li, possessing a similarly muscular physique and a Hyakuretsukyaku-esque special. She decides to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her parents (similar to Chun-Li's DisappearedDad) and has a vendetta against the BigBad because of it (i.e. Chun-Li vs. Bison); however, [[spoiler:she drops it upon learning that Karnov wasn't responsible]]. Yungmie even replicates Chun-Li's "Yatta!", although she doesn't do the corresponding win pose until her stint as a GuestFighter in ''Suiko Enbu: Fuunsaiki''. This would come full circle with ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'': Not only does Chun-Li pick up an aerial splits kick ([[http://iplaywinner.com/chun-li-ssf4#normals her neutral j.HK]]) like [[http://www.fightabase.com/moveMain.aspx?id=2491 the one Yungmie uses]] that would follow her into ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterV V]]'', but ''[[CapcomSequelStagnation Super]]'' newcomer Juri Han is a Korean practitioner of TKD who does everything listed below in KickChick and ''also'' has an aerial splits kick as her neutral j.HK [[http://iplaywinner.com/juri-ssf4#normals that even more closely resembles the move in question.]] |
| 263 | ** Her hairband also looks a lot like the one worn by [[VideoGame/FatalFury Mai Shiranui]]. |
| 264 | %%* GenerationXerox[=/=]LamarckWasRight: The child of two world-class Taekwondokas, Yungmie is of a similar caliber (she is a master, after all), if not better. |
| 265 | * GuestFighter: Joins Mizoguchi in the line-up for ''Suiko Enbu: Fuunsaiki''. |
| 266 | * KiManipulation: Her Aura Smash, an air-only fireball that travels straight ahead. |
| 267 | * KickChick: To point of throwing her projectiles with her legs, throwing people with her legs, and even blocking with them while standing. |
| 268 | * TheRival: As of ''Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!'', Feilin. |
| 269 | * {{Shoryuken}}: Nerichagi is a variant. Yungmie leaps straight up with a kick and comes back down with a second. The LK version will completely whiff on crouching opponents on the way down, while the HK version ''does'' hit crouchers but has enough of a delay between hits that an opponent can block the first and counter with a higher priority move, as Nerichagi lacks invincibility while descending. |
| 270 | * SpamAttack: Her [[PlayingWithFire Fire Kick]], performed in the vein of Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku. Unlike Jean and Zazie, Fire Kick can only be performed with two attacks of the same strength (LP + LK or HP + HK), meaning Yungmie can't instantly throw one out by mashing all four buttons, which makes the attack limited in use and somewhat unreliable outside of a combo ender at optimal ranges. |
| 271 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Same deal as Feilin: her first name is sometimes spelled as Ryu/Riu. Her surname is also given as Yung Mie or Yung-Mie at times. |
| 272 | %%* TomboyishPonytail |
| 273 | * WalkingTheEarth: In a sense. Yungmie's ending in ''Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!'' has her travel the world, working as a tour guide. |
| 274 | * WallJump: Has access to a triangle jump just like, you guessed it, Chun-Li. Yungmie's wall acrobatics allows her to use a splits kick during her angled jump by pressing down + HK in additional to her regular aerials. |
| 275 | * [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Parents]]: To Karnov. [[spoiler:He claims that he didn't do it (her father actually [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]] after his loss), and adds that Yungmie's mother may be alive.]] |
