[[folder:Kazuya - ''Japan'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_kazuya.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KazukiYao
----
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He is quite arrogant about his skill in his win quotes.
* CasanovaWannabe: In his special win quote against Lihua and Liza, he tries hitting on them and in his scene in the credits, he used his [[{{Shoryuken}} Shoryuken-like attack]] to [[MarilynManeuver lift a girl's skirt.]]. Said girl was NOT pleased and Kazuya ends up getting slapped in the face for his trouble.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Downplayed example, he's Ryu if you took out everything honest and good natured about his competitive drive and just made him kind of a jerk. And also if he was a shameless philanderer.
* {{Shoryuken}}: Two variations; one starting with a crouch dash when done on the ground and one in mid-air.
* {{Shotoclone}}: As the main character of the game, Kazuya being one is a given.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Other than his {{Sarashi}} wrappings and his gi top which he uses more than a CoatCape, he fights bare-chested.

[[folder:Barts - ''USA'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_barts.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RyotaroOkiayu

----
* BadassBiker: In his scene in the credits, he is seen riding one with his girlfriend, Sarah.
* {{Expy}}: [[VideoGame/FatalFury Terry Bogard]] and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Guile]] combined.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lihua - ''Taiwan'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_lihua.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SaekoShimazu
----
* AnimeChineseGirl: Well, more like Anime Taiwanese Girl in her case. Though if her name is anything to go by, she is ethnically Chinese at the very least. Regardless of squabbles regarding nationality and ethnic identity, she definitely has the upbeat but serious demeanor of this archetype.
* BlowYouAway: Her DesperationAttack have her create a tornado around her and sucking in the poor sap that is too close.
* CoolSword: She uses it mostly in her special moves. It should be noted that she is the only one besides Gekkou to have a weapon.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Returns her sword to its sheath after every attack.
* IWillFindYou: Lihua is quite determined to find her missing parents.
* LadyOfWar: She is quite the graceful fighter.
* MundaneUtility: In her scene in the credits, she used her sword to cut some food up when cooking.

[[folder:Boggy - ''USA'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_boggy.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Andrew Holms
----
* CaptainErsatz: Looks like Music/BobbyBrown with the talent of Music/MCHammer.
* ChickMagnet: Unlike Kazuya, he seems to be quite popular with the ladies with two women literally run up to his side in his second win pose.
* DanceBattler: He joins the tournament to use the money to boost his dancing career and his DesperationAttack includes him dancing under a spotlight while his opponent is literally stunned by this and when he is done, the opponent is somehow [[ShockAndAwe electrified]].
* KissOfDeath: Sort of. It's actually a projectile attack.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He wears an open jacket but no shirt.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Maybe it is his nickname when dancing but still...

[[folder:Liza - ''Brazil'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_liza.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AyaHisakawa
----
* AssistCharacter: Her animal friends, a bird and a monkey fight alongside her and attacks when she commands them to. Not unlike [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Nakoruru and Cham-Cham]].
* BoyishShortHair: As opposed to Lihua's ponytail.
* DanceBattler: Her DesperationAttack is literally putting on a Carnival dress out of nowhere and dancing with it.
* FurBikini: She wears a leopard-printed one.
* HurricaneKick: Hers performed with ButtonMashing. She has a DesperationAttack variant where she's wearing a dress.
* JunglePrincess: Not much is known about her past but considering her outfit, her animal friends, her savage fighting style AND the fact that her stage is in the jungle, it's safe to believe this is a safe bet.

[[folder:J. [=McCoy=] - ''USA'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_jim.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KazunariTanaka
----
* ActionDad: Has an unnamed son that shows up in his win poses and ending.
* BoxingBattler: He is the token boxer of this game. Though unlike most examples, he is not restricted to using only his fists in battle.
* {{Eagleland}} - Flavor 1. I mean like at what he is wearing for crying out loud!
* ExtremityExtremist: Averted, even though he's still a boxer.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Not surprising, considering his fighting style.
* {{Shoryuken}}: Starts with a forward dash.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Wulong - ''China'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_wulong.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Yasushi Horibata
----
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Even in his one quotes where he complimented his opponent's spirit, he also said that they will never be his equal.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scratch scar on his cheek.
* PerpetualFrowner: Never smiles unless he wins the match or in his ending when he defeats his boss.
* {{Supercop}}: He is a detective that manages to take down armed men in his ending.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gekkou - ''Japan'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_gekkou.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HideoIshikawa
----
* FuumaShuriken: Throws one as a projectile.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: A ninja clad in PURPLE?
* TheStoic
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Marco - ''Germany'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_marco.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Hisayoshi Ogura
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has purple skin. Justified because of the mutation he had went through.
* BandagedFace: His entire face save for one eye is covered in bandages.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite his frightening appearance, the fact he fights in a haunted house with a torture dungeon behind one of the walls, and his victory quote where he threatens his opponent, he is otherwise a nice guy.
* DumbMuscle: Maybe it is the effects of the mutation because he doesn't appear to be too bright. In fact, he seems to act like a ManChild. One of his attacks even includes flailing his arms around while crying.
* EekAMouse: In his scene in the credits, he freaked out over a mouse. Let me repeat that. ''The big, hulking monster got scared of a little mouse.''
* IAmAMonster: His goal in the tournament is to win the money so he could fund a science research to make him human again.
* MightyGlacier: He not only slowly and hits hard, his jumps are slow.
* RubberMan: To make up for his slow speed, he could stretch his arms out just like [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Dhalsim]].
* SelfDestructMechanism: His ultimate attack though instead of it being mechanical, he is a biological lifeform.
* StoutStrength: He has a gut on him but it doesn't stop him from laying the beatdown.
* TakingYouWithMe: His DesperationAttack where he grabs the opponent and [[WhyAmITicking a number count]] appears over his head. When it reaches zero, Marco explodes, damaging his opponent in the progress. This is subverted when Marco somehow regenerates his body while his opponent is on the ground after taking a lot of damage.
* UseYourHead: One of his special moves have him take off his head and throw it across the screen.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Sort of. He IS the token grappler of the game, after all. At least the playable grappler in Gonzales' case.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gonzales - ''Russia'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_gonzales.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HisaoEgawa
----
* {{Expy}}: He's a Russian version of [[Franchise/TheKingOfFighters Goro Daimon]], given the fact that the two of them are judokas, having their EyesAlwaysShut, and that their own judo moves go way beyond that of the standard judo techniques. However, it is worth noting that ''Kaiser Knuckle/Global Champion'' (came out in July 1994) preceded ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters94'' (released on August 25) in arcades by about more than a month.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Gonzales rarely has his eyes open unless he's about to perform a judo move.
** MonochromaticEyes
* HuskyRusskie: He is the second biggest character in the game and his size isn't just so show as proven in his DesperationAttack.
* IWillFindYou: Gonzales is very determined to find his missing fiance Tanya.
* ManlyTears: He sheds these in his win pose.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: On the nationality variety. He is a Russian man that fights with judo which is a Japanese martial art, wears a coonskin cap which is associated with American frontiersmen AND has a Spanish name.
* SpaceZone: Played with when using his DesperationAttack, where he grabs and tosses his opponent into space for a moment, [[PlayingWithFire burning them]] in the process.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: On the subject of judo.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Azteca - ''Mexico'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_azteca.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Ryu Kuzu
----
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: One of his victory quotes: "What a weakling! A wimp like you couldn't even lay a finger on my mask!"
* CoolMask: He wears a green mask that looked like it is about to shatter with a single flick.
* DishingOutDirt: He has a special throw where he encases his opponent in a stone pillar.
* {{Expy}}: A clear expy of the Pillar Men from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
* FieryRedhead: He is quite loud when attacking.
* IdentityAmnesia: He lost his memories so his goal in the tournament is to try to regain them.
* {{Mayincatec}}: Not only does his design screams this but his stage is also in front of an Aztec temple.
* PrehensileHair: Uses his long hair to whip people. In fact, he can make his opponents spill blood from it.
* RollingAttack: Attacks by rolling into his enemy, not unlike [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Blanka]]
* TakenForGranite:
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Fights with a top showing off his tattooed body.
* WaveMotionGun: His desperation attack which he fires from his mask.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:General - ''Unknown'']]
[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kk_general.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Steve Yamashita
----
* CatchPhrase: "I am a perfect soldier!" Trust me when I say this, you WILL see this quote a lot.
* DopplegangerAttack: One of his infamous moves is sending out ghostly figures of him around him, making it nigh-impossible for the player to even get near him.
* EvilLaugh: "HUHUHUHUH! HUHUHUHUH!". He'll belt it out every time you challenge him, so get used to this one.
* {{Expy}}: Let's see. A SNKBoss that is dressed like a dictator. [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII M. Bison]] much? His design is clearly based on the Golan Colonel from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''. Although, his face resembles the Mad Sarge, also from Fist of the North Star.
* PetTheDog: In Marco's ending, he not only gives Marco the money to fund the science research project but he also helps out with it by giving up Marco a human body for him to have.
* SkeletonMotif: He has a symbol with a variation on it. Rather than set of crossed femur bones or swords, his has a set of [[SinisterScythe scythes]]. It is located on his beret (including with the image featured for his entry here, granted not very clearly) and on the shoulders of his shirt. Though it is most visible on the floor of his stage.
* SNKBoss: '''Goodness'''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcn7LuXSrD0 Observe.]] This guy is basically '''the''' hardest boss throughout all fighting games since its release. For further proof? Even the writers from game magazines ''gave up'' to write strategies against him. It took until ''2014'' until he was finally beaten fairly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCicpdHQLe0&t=24m57s here]], and even then it was a very narrow win.
* SpaceZone: His space station stage. How his opponent managed to get all of the way up there is up to debate.
* TeleportSpam: One of the big factors in his difficulty is that he can spam a DBZ-esque teleport like there's no tomorrow. And he knows it, closing every distance by a chokeslam-followed teleport and casually teleporting behind you every time he feels like it.
* VirtuousCharacterCopy: A downplayed example in relation to the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series' M. Bison. Yeah, General has ambitions for global conquest and is extremely ruthless in battle. Though in contrast to the tyrannical Dictator M. Bison, General does have at least some good qualities as demonstrated in Marco's ending. General [[PetTheDog donates to him a new body and funds for a surgical operation for the disfigured fighter to have his brain placed in it so that he can finally have a normal life]]. Even if one wants to accuse that [[PragmaticVillainy this act of charity is merely a ploy]] to give [[VillainWithGoodPublicity himself some good publicity and deflect himself from public scrutiny]], or even serve an ulterior purpose of using Marco as a guinea pig to test if this can be done for his own soldiers and supporters or even [[BodyBackUpDrive himself if necessary]], it is still a good deed at the end of the day. M. Bison on the other hand has never once done anything remotely humanitarian and for that matter the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series of games released the year after ''Kaiser Knuckle/Global Champion'' would reveal that Bison intentionally expelled all good from himself in order to [[MadeOfEvil become purely evil]].
