For the main article, go here. For the Marvel characters, try here. For the characters introduced in Ultimate, go here. open/close all folders Akuma You will feel the power of my fists! Voiced by: Dave Mallow (English), Taketora (Japanese)
Home Series: Street FighterThis warrior values strength above all else, going so far as to abandon his own humanity as a means to obtain more. It is said that the Buddhist beads around his neck represent warriors who have fallen before him. He wants Ryu to give in to the Satsui no Hadou so that he may have a Worthy Opponent. Akuma's fighting style is different from Ryu's. He uses more simplistic combos, and he is meant to be played in a more offensive manner, akin to his Street Fighter IV incarnation. He is a Glass Cannon who can deal huge amounts of damage with and without meter. - A God Am I
(in his victory image) I am no longer mortal! - Anime Hair
- Badass
- Battle Aura: In his intro. Also in his hypers.
- Blood Knight: He lives for battle. The only time Akuma may let you live is if he knows that you aren't at your full potential to fight him. He'll kill you if you refuse his challenge to fight him though. He seems to be pissed off anytime he ends up fighting Sentinel though, believing that it's not a Worthy Opponent due to its robotic nature.
(vs. Sentinel) What is this... mockery? - Brought to You by the Letter "S": During his victory pose and after his Shun Goku Satsu, the kanji for heaven, "ten" (as seen on his back in the picture to the right), appears on the back of his dogi.
- Calling Your Attacks:
TENMA GOU ZANKUU! - Otherwise, he's one of the few characters who avert this trope.
- Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Shun Goku Satsu. This technique is the most damaging Level 3 hyper in the game (was as of Ultimate, as now The Ace Attorney is the most damaging), not to mention it comes even faster than in the old games.
Issun (in Ammy's victory image): That attack that demon did... It was just like when Mrs. Orange makes cherry cakes! That's crazy! (Intro vs. Ghost Rider) The Shun Goku Satsu will show you true penance! - The Dark Side: He's hinted to have these powers (from the Satsui no Hadou).
- Dark-Skinned Redhead: With matching red eyes to boot!
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?
- Dissonant Laughter: Just as it does in Street Fighter IV, the playful yet haunting laughter of children can be heard when he performs the Shun Goku Satsu.
- Diving Kick: One of the followups of his Hyakki-shu (aka Demon Flip) is this.
- Evil Counterpart: To Ryu.
- Flash Step: His Ashura Senkuu.
- Glass Cannon: As usual. He has a big damage output and the only fighter that has infinite set-ups.
His health is the same as Zero (at 800,000). - Ground Pound: In his victory pose, he does the Kongou Kokuretsu Zan.
 - Hurricane Kick: Tatsumaki Zankuukyaku.
- Kamehame Hadoken: His Gou Hadoken and Zankuu Hadoken. For his hypers, he has Messatsu Gou Hadou, with 2 versions: Agyo, which works like Tenma Gou Zankuu, and Ungyo (done with holding the Fierce attack button after the hyper's command) which works like regular Messatsu Gou Hadou. Both can either be done on the ground or in midair.
- Meaningful Names To Run Away From Really Fast: His name in Japan, Gouki, means strong demon. Akuma, his name overseas, is derived from the word for "devil".
- Mini-Boss: One of the characters who can become Galactus' Herald.
- Nerf: Received a health nerf (from 800,000 to 750K) in "Ultimate".
- The Nicknamer: Akuma doesn't bother with names. When tagging out, he refers to most of the males and females as "Boy"/"Girl". Sentinel and Nemesis are "Junk", Zero and Jill are "Puppet", Rocket Raccoon is "Vermin", while Amaterasu, Trish, all three of the Darkstalkers ladies, Super-Skrull, Dormammu, M.O.D.O.K, and Shuma-Gorath are "Devil". The only exception is Ryu, and that's only in his win quotes.
- Running Gag: Most characters refer to him as a demon. Not surprising, actually, given his name above.
- Secret Character: Requires 2000 Players Points to be unlocked.
- Shoryuken: Gou Shoryuken, along with the hyper variant Messatsu Gou Shoryu.
- Shotoclone
- Supernatural Martial Arts: Akuma is master of the Satsui no Hadou, something he wishes Ryu to succumb to in order to give him a decent match.
- Trash Talk:
(to Wolverine) Apocalypse once deemed you worthy of being his Horseman of Death? I really must beg to differ. (to Ghost Rider) Your hellfire is laughable! - Victory Is Boring: His ending.
- Wolverine Publicity: Him appearing as a secret Guest Fighter in X Men Children Of The Atom (as well as Anita's appearance in Marvel Super Heroes) is technically what gave Capcom the idea for X-Men Vs Street Fighter. Ever since then, he's appeared as a Secret Character throughout the series (barring Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter and MvC2, where he was a member of the default roster, and MvC1, where he was absent).
- You Are Not Ready: His quote against a certain number of fighters.
Albert Wesker A new world order is at hand.
Home Series: Resident EvilWesker was the leader of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team, but was secretly working for the Umbrella Corporation, whom the unit was sent to investigate. He has since betrayed Umbrella and, after a series of encounters with many acquaintances (most of which hate him), works for Tricell. With his constant experimentation of the T, G, Las Plagas, and Uroboros viruses, he has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and regeneration, making him a force to be reckoned with. His ultimate goal is to release Uroboros into the Earth's atmosphere, and leaving only the chosen few alive for him to rule over as their god. His fighting style incorporates teleport mixup and show-offy, yet intricate combos involving the gamut of fighting game tech - wallbounces, OTG, you name it. Because of his simplicity, Wesker is considered broken by many, and users will certainly be hated for their efforts. - A God Am I: In his dialogue.
(to Amaterasu, Thor, or Shuma-Gorath) I will be the only god. (victory image after beating Chris) Don't worry, Chris. You can die in peace knowing the world has a new god to watch over it.'' (to Rocket Racoon) Now you know... I am a god over man and beast. Chris: You're finished, Wesker! You're not a god — you're a joke. - He does come the closest to being an actual Physical God in one scenario of the Galactus final battle, however, where he's revealed to be one of Galactus' heralds.
- Animal Motifs: The basis for his attack names: Cobra Strike, Ghost Butterfly, Rhino Charge, Tiger Uppercut (no relation to Sagat's move) Jaguar Kick (again, no relation to Adon's move).
- Badass
- Badass Abnormal
Magneto: Your attempts at artificial power both impress and disgust me, Albert Wesker. M.O.D.O.K.: I must admit, I like some of the work you've done with bioengineering. It has... potential. Sentinel: Target is not a natural mutant. All enhancements were the result of cellular manipulation. - Badass Bookworm
- Badass Longcoat
- Battle Aura: A subtle black, fume-like substance permeates from his body while he's standing still.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With Dr. Doom. At first.
- Blond Guys Are Evil
- Calling Your Attacks: Is one of maybe three characters in the game to totally avert this, saying various one-liners or insults during his moves instead.
- Camera Abuse: When he wins, he grabs the (implied) cameraman (representing his defeated opponent?) by the throat and lifts him off the ground.
- Clothing Damage: The lenses of his sunglasses can break and the shades themselves will be destroyed if he takes too much damage. For his taunt, he takes out a new pair.
- They also come off whenever he uses his Maximum Wesker super. This becomes hilarious in that if you play Wesker, it's likely you'll use this move frequently and you can replace the glasses every time.
- Cool Shades
- The Glasses Come Off: During his Phantom Dance super. In Ultimate, he gets a damage and speed boost without them.
- Counter Attack: One of his specials (Tiger Uppercut) and one of his hypers (Rhino Charge).
- Creepy Monotone
- Evil Brit
- Evil Laugh: On occasion, when he shoots the opponent with his Samurai Edge.
- Evil Sounds Deep
- Evilutionary Biologist: The Tricell Laboratory stage is full of various experiments, including a Tyrant and several Lickers.
- Flash Step: And he takes it up to Teleport Spam levels in his Level 3.
- Foil: To Spider-Man.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom
- Hammerspace: The only explanation for where he got the missile (for his Level 3) from.
- Hell-Bent for Leather
- Hellish Pupils
- Insufferable Genius
- I Shall Taunt You: Rather than announce what he's going to do, he prefers to constantly remind his opponent how weak they are.
- Lack of Empathy: In one potential ending of the game, Wesker will end up restrained in a straitjacket and on trial, with Matt Murdock prosecuting against him regarding the 1998 Racoon City disaster. Wesker not only displays no remorse, he openly gloats that he "caused a big mess" there before attempting to break out of his restraints, resulting in Chris Redfield threatening to floor him.
- Last Name Basis: Almost everyone, except for Spidey, who mockingly calls him "Albert". Then again, he does it to many of the other villains as well.
Spider-Man: Aaaal-bert! - Lightning Bruiser
- Mini-Boss: One of the characters who can become Galactus' Herald.
- Nerf: Received a health nerf (from 1,100K to 1,000K) in Ultimate.
- Not Big Enough for the Two of Us
(to Doom) This world can only have one true mastermind! - Red Eyes, Take Warning
- The Rival: Obviously to Chris and Jill in-universe, but regarding the Marvel characters, he's rivals with Spider-Man.
- Social Darwinist
- Take Over the World: His entire motivation.
Trish: What's so fun about taking over the universe? Magneto: Not all those with power are fit to rule. - "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gets this as a new win quote in Ultimate, and it has the honor of being the longest in the game.
How does it feel to be inferior? To know that you are destined for a life of mediocrity? Hmph. You probably can't even conceive how much better I am than you. - Villain Team Up: With Dr. Doom.
- Villainous Breakdown: When his X-Factor is unleashed, he shouts "Damn it!", presumably because his virus is going out of control.
- Weapon of Choice: His Samurai Edge handgun, which he's had ever since his S.T.A.R.S days.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Invoked by Spiderman should the latter beat him:
Spider-Man: You have great power, Albert. But you don't use it responsibly. - You Have Failed Me: When both of his partners are K.O.ed, this is his reaction.
You've disappointed me. Useless chaff!
Amaterasu Aaawoooooooooooo! Voiced by: N/A
Home Series: OkamiThe Shinto sun goddess in the form of a white wolf. She uses her power to restore peace and beauty to the lands. Amaterasu is an excellent all-around character who has three weapon styles at her disposal: the reflector, the glaive, and the rosary. While it is possible to win by using just one style, true mastery of Ammy requires utilizing and switching between all three styles, and learning how to use her for both rushdown and keepaway tactics. Arthur I will not forsake my duties!
Home Series: Ghosts 'n GoblinsSir Arthur is a brave and valiant knight who goes into hell to save his beloved Princess ( Princess Prin-Prin, Princess Guinevere or whichever name your game manual says this time around). He also has a tendency to lose his armor with one attack. (Fortunately, this doesn't happen in this game.) Arthur is a pure zoning character. His walking speed is slow, he does not possess a dash, and his damage output is not that great. But what he lacks in all of that he makes up for by filling the screen with projectiles, as well as various other ways that he can put distance between him and his enemies. - Ascended Extra: He was an Assist Character in the first MvC.
- Badass Beard
- Badass Grandpa: One of his new palette swaps in Ultimate gives him grey hair, dubbed Old Arthur by the designers.
- Blade on a Stick: His main Weapon of Choice is an oversized Lance.
- Blasting Time: When he summons his Fire Dragon.
- Bottomless Magazines: Arthur never runs out of Lances, Shields, Molotov cocktails, and Axes to throw.
- Calling Your Attacks:
GODDESS' BRACELET! Great magic! FIRE DRAGON! - Chronic Hero Syndrome: He wants to save his princess, but he will stop any villains who comes in his way.
(To all villains minus Akuma & Doctor Doom) I will not forsake my duties! - Clothing Damage: A signature element from his own series, and, as in the games, a bad thing. After his Super Mode wears off, his armor breaks off and lowers Arthur's defense. You have to spend a super bar to summon his normal armor back.
- Comedic Underwear Exposure: If he leaves his Golden Armor on for too long, it will burst out of his body and leave him only in his trademark underwear (it can even be said that it wouldn't be Arthur without it). Each of his palettes has a different print:
- Standard: white with strawberries
- Second: Striped blue and white
- Third: Yellow with black stars
- Fourth: Pale green with white polka dots
- Fifth: Blue with white polka dots (as of Ultimate )
- Sixth: Pink with white love hearts (as of Ultimate )
- Cool Sword
- Counter Attack: One of his specials, with his shield.
- Double Jump
- Flechette Storm: Happens to most of his projectiles. Notably, his goddess Bracelet hyper.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: Don't ask where he stores all of his weapons or armor when not in use.
- Knight in Shining Armor: In his ending, he solos Fin Fang Foom to rescue Princess Guinevere. When you consider the hell he went through, such a feat is probably a walk in the park for him.
Phoenix: Instead of fighting me, you should go and rescue your princess. It's not polite to keep a lady waiting. ( To Chris) You too are looking for something? Let's be quick about this then! * Hint: Chris is finding Jill. - Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Well, he is a knight.
I will fight you, fair and square! - Little People: He's rendered as shorter than anybody else (except for Joe, Ammy, and Rocket Raccoon). This is also lampshaded.
- Long Range Fighter: His weapons are his main way of fighting. He doesn't have a dash and he moves relatively slow across the screen. Spamming lances, knives, and axes is the best way to fight.
- Magic Knight
- Mighty Glacier: Much like Dormammu, he's the ranged version of this trope. He fits even more; he doesn't have a dash at all.
- Stone Wall: Only in the sense that he's lacking in mobility (floaty jumps, no dash) and his projectiles (from a defensive standpoint) work well for zoning and lockdown purposes.
- No Name Given/Dub Name Change/Take a Third Option: It seems Capcom couldn't decide on Arthur's beloved definite name, Prin-Prin for the sake of tradition in older arcade and NES games or Guinevere in true King Arthur fashion and how it appeared in the SNES game manual. They decided to keep as just Princess on the PSP remake, it also sticks for this game.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Arthur is really short and toonier, referencing the art style of his series.
- Real Men Wear Pink: One of his new palette swaps in Ultimate gives him pink-tinted armor, in addition to pink underwear with heart patterns.
- Red-Headed Hero: In his normal palette.
- Shield Bash: In some of his moves.
- Smart Bomb: His Fire Dragon ("For The Princess"), since it covers almost full-screen range.
- Summon Magic: His Level 3 conjures up a fiery dragon.
- Super Mode: His Golden Armor. It not only powers up his attacks, but also gives some of them certain properties like going through other projectiles or homing in to the opponent. It is also accompanied by a yellow Battle Aura.
- Throwing Your Armory Always Works
- Younger Than They Look: According to his character bio, he's only 28 years old.
Chris Redfield No one's dying on my watch!
Home Series: Resident EvilPart of the S.T.A.R.S Alpha team, Chris was one of the first to see the horrors of the Umbrella Corporation. He's one of the original 11 founders of the B.S.A.A., designed to deal with Umbrella-like threats. - Arbitrary Gun Power: He can do more damage with a seven-hit punch combo than with a full barrage from his handgun, shotgun, magnum, and flamethrower.
- Badass Boast
(One of his winquotes) Compared to fighting zombies and B.O.W.s, this was like a vacation. - Badass Normal: He, Frank West, Phoenix Wright, Mike Haggar, Hawkeye are the only normal humans in the game, lacking the Powered Armor, Super Strength, and/or special powers that the rest of the cast exhibit. In Chris' case, he makes up for it with a well-rounded skill set. And weapons. Lots and lots of weapons.
- Calling Your Attacks: Also averted as he usually gives out yells commonly used by soldiers in war such as "Fire in the hole!" for throwing grenades, etc.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: He's able to hold his own against world-eating abominations due to superior training and conditioning, apparently.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome
(One of his winquotes) I may specialize in bioterrorism, but I won't hesitate to put an end to any wrongdoings that come my way! - Death from Above/Crosshair Aware: Uses the Satellite Beam to rain down destruction from the heavens in his Level 3.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: In the full cinematic trailer for Ultimate, he and Felicia are fighting... Shuma-Gorath.
- Fingerless Gloves
- Fire, Ice, Lightning: Chris technically has this in the form of grenade rounds where he freezes, burns, shocks, and blows up the opponent in that order.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: His Combination Punches special. Wesker is quite aware of the kind of damage it can do.
A properly executed light punch combination will hit seven times and do more damage than any of his other attacks. - It's Personal: If he's on point against Jill, his opening quote indicates that she's more important than whatever mission he's supposed to be on.
...Something's come up. Gotta go... - Then of course, there's Wesker.
- Long Range Fighter: Chris has a couple of handguns, a sub-machine gun, a shotgun, a magnum, a flamethrower, and a grenade launcher in his arsenal. Using some of them don't even qualify as special attacks, but he's just as effective in melee combat as well.
- Machete Mayhem
- More Dakka: One of his hypers has him use a machete (or, alternatively, a taser), a shotgun, a submachine gun, a revolver, and an RPG.
- Multi-Ranged Master: If there's a firearm you're thinking of, he's most likely got it in his arsenal. With the exception of sniper rifles, he uses every weapon type available to him in Resident Evil 5.
- True Companions/The Power of Friendship: Lampshaded.
(One of his winquotes) You know why you guys lost? It's because you lack the teamwork that we have. (One of his winquotes) I'm not going to lose any more teammates. I will protect them. - Even apparent in the first trailer for vanilla: Hulk is tearing up the roof of the building he and Chris are on, and yet Chris makes it his priority to make a grab for Morrigan when he sees her falling from the sky (having taken an attack from Iron Man).
- Nice Guy: He features in several character endings as an apparent personal friend to Captain America, Haggar, and the Hulk. In his own ending, he's resisted the temptation to simply kill Wesker and has brought him to trial.
- Only Sane Man: As shown in one of his win quotes.
Chris: What's the point of all this fighting? - Pillars of Moral Character
Storm: Rarely have I met a man with such a strong moral compass. I regret that we had to meet in combat. - "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Chris's win quote against Wesker.
Chris: "You're finished, Wesker! You're not a god, you're a joke." - The Rival: To Hulk in vanilla and Rocket Raccoon in Ultimate.
- Take My Hand: For Morrigan in Episode 1.
Chun-Li You ready for me?
Home Series: Street FighterAn undercover Interpol detective with lightning fast kicks, Chun-Li seeks to avenge her father's death at the hands of the criminal organization Shadaloo. - Amazonian Beauty: As always, her large thighs and muscular legs are on showcase.
- Anime Chinese Girl
- Back-to-Back Badasses: With Zero in the fourth episode trailer
- Catch Phrase: Her "Gomen-ne!" is still there, as a taunt.
- Calling Your Attacks:
KIKOKEN! TENSHOUKYAKU! HYAKURETSUKYAKU! KIKOSHO! Here I go! HOYOKUSEN! - Clothes Make the Legend: Her iconic blue qipao, white boots, spiked bracelets, and tights. How many tournaments have they seen?
- Double Jump
- Fragile Speedster: She's fast, but she can't hit as hard as some nor take much damage.
- Hurricane Kick: Her Spinning Bird Kick.
- Interpol Special Agent
- Ki Attack
- Kick Chick
- Odango Hair
- Pillars of Moral Character
- Principles Zealot: Even now, Chun Li continues to pester Crimson Viper, completely unaware of her real motives as a secret agent. She actually tries to arrest Rocket Raccoon for "being in possession of firearms" in her win quote against him. She even does this to Nemesis solely for carrying around a rocket launcher rather than the glaring fact he's a hulking biological weapon terror.
- She's Got Legs
- Spam Attack: Her Hyakuretsukyaku special.
- This Is Unforgivable: A variant:
(to all villains) I won't let evil go unchecked! - Weak, but Skilled: Lampshaded.
(To She-Hulk) Remember the old saying, 'mind over muscle'. - Wolverine Publicity: Like Ryu, she's been included in all games starting from X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
Crimson Viper Sorry, Mommy's at work. I'll call you back.
Home Series: Street FighterReal name: Maya. This worldly 30 year old fighter is an expert CIA agent, going undercover to expose the S.I.N. organization's crimes. She is also a single mother and her daughter, Lauren, is on her mind at all times. - Animal Motifs: Snakes. If you look closely, her hairstyle resembles the body of a snake, with her forelock of hair representing the snake's tongue.
- Bare Your Midriff
- Charged Attack: Her Focus Attack.
- Clothes Make the Superman
- Combat Stilettos
- Cool Shades
- Dark-Skinned Redhead: Not as dark as most, but still noticeable.
- Double Jump
- Elemental Powers
- Evolving Attack: Like in SFIV, she is able to perform EX versions of her special moves, though it costs a level on the Hyper bar. She can also perform a Focus Attack, and is in fact the only character able to do so. It absorbs an indefinite amount of attacks, but you don't get any health back when it hits, and prior to Ultimate you couldn't dash-cancel out of it either.
- Eye Beams: Her new move in Ultimate, as a Charged Attack. It's called the Optic Laser as a nod to Cyclops in the previous games.
- Fangirl: If her intro with Strider Hiryu has any implications.
You're... Strider Hiryu...! - Possibly an Oh Crap reaction given that she's facing a fabled, world-class spy and assassin who doesn't seem to have a particular fondness for her.
- Fiery Redhead: Can be taken literally due to her flame boots.
- Glass Cannon: Not quite as speedy as Chun-Li and slightly better health than her (both still have somewhat low stamina), but a very high damage output.
- Ground Pound: Her Seismic Punch special and Burst Time hyper.
- Hot Chick in a Badass Suit
(to Iron Man, in her victory image) That was just a taste of what our suit can do. If you want to know more, you know where to find me. - Hot Action Mom: Mentioned in some quotes.
- Interpol Special Agent
- Mysterious Woman
- Of Corsets Sexy: Not to Trish's level, but still.
- Ominous English Chanting: Her theme.
 - Playing with Fire: Her flame boots when doing her Burning Kick, Emergency Combination, and Burst Time.
- Punch Clock Hero/Punch Clock Villain: By virtue of Only in It for the Money: Viper's more interested in finishing her assigned mission than the whole "good vs. evil" conflict. Naturally, her ending offers her both an interesting job and the chance to be Neutral No Longer.
- Rapunzel Hair: That's a long braid.
- The Rival: Mirroring their rivalry in SFIV, Chun-Li:
It's an Interpol agent. Don't worry, I'll take care of her. - Rocket Boots
- Shock and Awe: Her thunder glove when doing her Thunder Knuckle, Emergency Combination, and Viper Full Throttle.
- This Is Gonna Suck
(to Cap) This one could be a problem. - Weaponized Exhaust: In her Burning Kick special.
Dante Let's rock, baby!
Home Series: Devil May CryDante is a hunter dedicated to vanquishing demons, which were responsible for killing his mother and corrupting his brother Vergil. He is also half demon himself, the son of the demon knight Sparda. Dante has the most versatile and complicated movesets of any character in the game, and is able to perform pretty much any strategy you would need, such as mixups, crossups, rushdowns and zoning, making him a threat to any and all characters. He has average stamina and damage output, but high combo potential. - Ambidextrous Sprite: Despite using the 3D models for this game, his only one arm sleeve.
- And the Adventure Continues: His ending. Beaten a major player? No problem—he'll just go look for the next Worthy Opponent: Ghost Rider.
- Ascended Extra: Before being confirmed for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dante appeared in Jedah's ending in Capcom Fighting Evolution.
- Badass
- Bare Your Midriff: A male example.
- Battle Aura: During Devil Trigger.
- Blade Spam: His Million Stab attack.
- Button Mashing: Dante's Just Frames, taken straight from DMC3 and DMC4. Some of his specials have different effects if you input the command again as the attack is executing (i.e. Crystal —> Million Carats), and others have followup attacks (such as Jet Stream —> Fireworks). This is where the bulk of Dante's specials come from.
- Cain and Abel: The Abel to Vergil's Cain.
- Calling Your Attacks: Also averted.
- Charged Attack: His Multilock and Air Play specials can be charged.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He's possibly the only one who stands a chance to beat Iron Man on this trope.
- Composite Character: Dante has the look and weapons of his DMC3 self (approximately 18-19 years of age), yet his interactions with Trish and a reference to Mundus when defeating Dormammu means that he has the mentality of his DMC1 self (at the very least), who is about a full decade older. Lastly, like in DMC4, he's able to use abilities from all four of his possible styles at once.
- Cool Guns: Ebony and Ivory.
- Deadly Lunge: Stinger. The move has variants in Million Stabs and his Level 3.
- Death from Above: His Acid Rain special with his Artemis.
- Demon Slaying: His reputation must precede him.
Dormammu: I will strike you down, demon hunter. - Diving Kick: His Killer Bee special.
- Double Jump: Air Hike. Additionally, Ultimate allows him to triple jump while DT'ed a la DMC4.
- Elemental Powers: Thanks to his arsenal of Devil Arms.
- Fighting Your Friend/Friendly Rivalry:
- Fingerless Gloves
- Fire, Ice, Lightning: With his Agni & Rudra (with extra wind), Cerberus, and Nevan.
- Flash Step: His teleporting move always make him appear behind his opponent.
- Flight: During his Devil Trigger.
- Fourth Wall Psych: Part of his ending. He appears to be lecturing the viewers on good game design, but he's actually talking to Ghost Rider.
- Functional Genre Savvy: Not to Deadpool's extent, but he's realized his life is like a video game.
- Gradual Grinder: His damage output isn't so high, but his combos keep going, and going, and going...
- Ground Pound: His Volcano special, which can be continued into...
- Spam Attack: His Beehive, a series of rapid kicks, much like Chun-Li's own.
- Guns Akimbo
- Half-Human Hybrid
- Hell-Bent for Leather
- The Hunter: Demon extermination.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: Aside from Rebellion and Ebony & Ivory, all of Dante's other Devil Arms and weapons are summoned and dispersed as needed.
- Instant Runes: Appear in some of Dante's moves.
- Jack of All Stats: Technically, he has a decent damage output, average speed, and average stamina. What makes him dangerous is his lots of combo potentials thanks to his many specials.
- Lag Cancel: Dante's Bold Move is the only special move that his Stinger can cancel into, but it's possible to cancel out of Bold Move and into other special moves. This trick is the key to many of Dante's longer, more damaging combos, as well as making block strings much longer and safer.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In his ending, where he talks about having just beaten the final boss and a new challenger has appeared — in this case, Ghost Rider. While the challenger is quick to dismiss the idea, Dante insists that "Life is the ultimate game! You just don't get unlimited continues."
- Macross Missile Massacre: With Kalina Ann.
- More Dakka
- Multi-Melee Master/Multi-Ranged Master: Rebellion, Ebony & Ivory, Coyote-A, Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Artemis, Nevan, Beowulf, and Kalina Ann. Oddly enough, Spiral (his anti-tank rifle capable of ricocheting trick shots) is notably missing.
- Named Weapons: All of them!
- Not So Different: He acknowledges this with regards to Deadpool.
Sometimes you just gotta out-crazy the crazies if you wanna beat 'em. - Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Vergil's blue.
- The Rival: Vergil, and possibly Trish and Viewtiful Joe:
(against Trish) Don't think I'm gonna go easy on ya! (against Viewtiful Joe) It's okay, Joe. We cool! - Shoot The Bullet: As shown here,
if two Dante players use the Million Dollars hyper at the same time, they'll take no damage at all. This is also a Call Back to the first intro movie of the game, where he and Deadpool do the same thing. - Spin Attack: His specials, namely his Twister (and Tempest), Crazy Dance, Prop Shredder, Revolver & Sky Dance.
- Spirited Competitor: Bordering on Blood Knight.
- Sticks to the Back: His Rebellion.
- Super Mode: Devil Trigger, complete with demonic voice distortion. It also gives Dante access to new specials.
- Superpower Lottery: Long-range combos, easy juggles, easier OTG's, numerous projectiles, flight, teleportation, health regeneration — Dante's got it all, if you can manage his gigantic library of techniques.
- Sword and Gun: Dante's fighting style with the Rebellion sword and Ebony and Ivory guns.
- Sword Beam: His Drive attack.
- Sword Pointing: In the special Episode 4 Trailer wallpaper.
◊ - Trademark Favorite Food:
Man, I'm starving. Where's my pizza? - Trash Talk: Par the course for him.
(to Dormammu) Tch. Get the hell out of my face. (to Trish) Really, Trish? Is that the best you can do? (to Vergil) You're the reason why we can't have nice things. Also, the ladies dig my sword skills more. - White-Haired Pretty Boy
- Sibling Yin-Yang: With Vergil.
- You Will Not Evade Me: His Grapple move, done with Kalina Ann.
Felicia Wanna dance? Voiced by: G.K. Bowes (English), Kana Asumi (Japanese)
Home Series: DarkstalkersA cat woman raised by nuns, Felicia left the convent and is on a quest to become a superstar. Felicia's rushdown fighting style takes full advantage of her cat-like agility. She works best by pressuring her enemies with a devastating series of super-quick attacks (which have the added benefit of still being fairly strong hit-for-hit in the process). - Amusing Injuries: In the intro cinematic, the tip of her tail briefly catches fire.
- Animal Jingoism: Sometimes when she beats Amaterasu, she apologizes for beating her up because of the whole "Cats and Dogs" thing.
- Animal Motif
- Anime Hair
- Assist Character: Two of her hypers involve help from her fellow catgirls.
- Kitty Helper summons Alto, who playfully jumps around at the enemy, interrupting their attacks while doing some damage in the process.
- "Please Help Me!" summons an entire catgirl clowder of her friends. Grace, Lucy, Nana and Mimi curbstomp her opponent while Alto jumps in for the finish.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Her win pose, where she's distracted by a butterfly fluttering in the distance.
- Badass Adorable
- Bare Your Midriff: Felicia bares this and a LOT more.

(One of her winquotes) I'm Felicia, the most dancingest, singingest woman you'll ever meet! - Button Mashing: Felicia's U Mv C 3 incarnation has her Dancing Flash and Please Help Me hyper combos mashable for added damage, making the latter hyper one of the most damaging level 3s.
- Captain Obvious:
(to Dormammu) Hey, your head's on fire! - Calling Your Attacks:
NEKO PUNCH! SLIDE KICK! SAND KICK! - Cat Folk: Belongs to one. Several of them come to her aid in her Level 3.
- Cat Girl: Exactly what Hulk calls her when he tags out with her. And...
Arthur (when he tags out with her): Little kitty! - Cheerful Child: She really likes to smile and have fun. Spencer doesn't like it for some reason.
Spencer: I'll wipe that smile off your face. Spencer: Sorry, sweetie. Playtime's over. - Cherry Tapping: One of Felicia's hypers summons Alto to jump around on the screen. Alto herself does very minimal damage, but it's possible for her to get the last hit on an enemy. This counts as a normal KO despite being a hyper.
- Cloud Cuckoolander
- The Cutie
- Cuteness Proximity: Despite being a cat, she has a soft spot for none other than the Furball herself.

- Diving Kick: Her Delta Kick ends with one.
- Eagleland: Flavor 1, just like Cap.
- Everything's Better with Spinning: Much of what Felicia does is spinning: her Rolling Buckler, Cat Spike, Hellcat throw, even her jumping.
- Exposed to the Elements: Fights in the arctic Temple of The Hand, the depths of Demon Village, and in the far reaches of space, all in her Stripperific Fur Bikini.
- Fur Bikini: Her signature design.
- Genki Girl
- Gratuitous Japanese: Felicia was born and raised in America, yet she says "Omatase" for one of her English voice fight intros. Omatase is a shortened version of Omatase shimashita, or "Thanks for waiting." There is no particular reason why she would say this other than the fact that it's Japanese.
- Also, her Neko Punch move. "Neko" is "cat" in Japanese, natch.
- Hey, That's My Line!: One fight intro that was Dummied Out before the release of vanilla.
Felicia: Showtime! - Hair Antennae
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Compared to the likes of Morrigan, Felicia isn't intentionally trying to be Fanservicey. She just is.
- Lag Cancel: She can cancel her dash with crouching and then dashing again, making it quicker to approach opponents.
- Martial Pacifist
- Natural Weapon: Those cat claws of hers are sharp.
- Nice Girl
- Prehensile Tail: Felicia can tail-whip her opponents, or stand her entire body on it while doing her Kitty Slash kick.
- Rolling Attack: Her Rolling Buckler special, which can be followed up with a clawed Shoryuken.
- She's Got Legs
- Shout Out: Felicia's Rolling Buckler and Dancing Flash are similar to the spindashes of Sonic the Hedgehog.

- Stripperific: My, what thin fur stripes you have...
- Supernatural Martial Arts
- Thou Shall Not Kill: She'd never kill anyway, but she admits to protecting herself in self defense.
I didn't want to fight, but you're the one who made me get all scratchy. - Wall Jump: She can cling to the wall, then slide down if on too long.
- Wolverine Claws: Apparently, Felicia likes them.
(to X-23) Wow! I love your claws. - You Gotta Have Blue Hair
Hsien-Ko Lets do this, sis! Voiced by: Hunter MacKenzie Austin (English), Saori Hayami (Japanese)
Home Series: DarkstalkersIn a Darkstalker attack on their village, Hsien-Kos mother gave her life to save her family. After these events, Hsien-Ko and her sister Mei-Ling have turned themselves into jiang-shi in order to fight for the return of their mothers soul. - Anime Hair
- Amazing Technicolor Population: She's blue.
- Anime Chinese Girl
- Attack Reflector: Her Henkyouki (the move where she pulls out a gong) uses a sound wave to attack. Said sound wave redirects other projectiles on top of acting as a damaging projectile itself.
- Badass Adorable
- Blush Sticker
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Her winpose has her wink at the camera and say "Xiexie" ("Thank you") or "Zàijiàn" ("Good bye").
- Calling Your Attacks:
HENKYOUKI! HOUTEN GEKI! You're gonna get hurt! TENRAIHA! CHIREITOU! - Cartoon Bomb: She can randomly throw these, with the bomb having a timer like in her own games.
- Chinese Vampire
(win screen against Chris) Stop shooting! I'm not a zombie! I'm a jiang shi! I don't even eat people or their brains! (win screen against Jill) Hey! What do you have against the living dead anyway? We're not all bad! - Cleavage Window
- Covered in Gunge: How she reacts after beating Shuma-Gorath:
Eww, now my clothes are all sticky with slime. - Cute Monster Girl: Especially when she smiles at the camera after a win. D'aaawwwwwwwwww!
(winquote against Nemesis) Don't laugh, Mei. Not all jiang shi can be as beautiful as us! - Edible Ammunition: Among the many, many random objects that she holds up her sleeves in Ultimate, one of them is roasted meat.
- Expressive Shirt: Her warding seal. This actually has a canon explanation, as the seal is the form her sister Mei-Ling takes in order to keep Hsien-Ko in control of her body.
- Fangirl: She seems to be a huge fan of Arthur, as Otaku below shows.
- Flash Step: Like in her games, her dash involves disappearing and reappearing.
- Gratuitous Foreign Language: Chinese, to be exact.
- Giant Waist Ribbon
- Gratuitous Japanese: There's a little bit of a snarky Otaku in her.
Kono toko da ne. Right? (That's how it's done, right?) Gomen ne! Just kidding! (Sorry! Just kidding!) - Also, in the second picture of her vanilla ending, which is a comic she wrote of her and her sis' going to Doctor Strange so he can help give their mother's soul eternal rest, the word "owari" ("The End") is written at the bottom right corner. This was kept in the American version.
- Her Code Name Was Mary Sue: See Yank the Dog's Chain below.
- The Hunter: Technically a Darkhunter.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: She has a lot up her sleeves.
- Marionette Motion
- Mirror Match: Lampshaded.
(to herself) Huh, didn't know we were quadruplets. (to herself) I've got to watch out for these fakes! - Not Quite Flight: She literally walks on air for her air dash.
- Otaku: From the look of it, she's a weapons otaku, just like Tasky.
(to Taskmaster, pre-fight quote) I can tell this one likes weapons, too. - Secret Character: Requires 6000 Player Points to unlock in vanilla. Available right from the start in Ultimate.
- Spike Balls of Doom: Some of her attacks use this, particularly her Tenraiha hyper.
- Super Mode: Her Rimoukon, when her seal gets removed. She gains a yellow Battle Aura and she can't be hitstunned.
- Supernatural Martial Arts: Her fighting style in a nutshell. She's a Jiang-Shi (a Chinese Vampire) who can throw various weapons (she stores in her sleeves), and her sister Mei-Ling acts as a mystical Power Limiter. Her air dash also has her literally running on air. Lampshaded in a win quote.
This isn't magic, it's Senjutsu... What's the difference? Man, there is no way I could hope to explain that here and now. - Talking to Themself: Subverted.
(To Deadpool) I am not talking to myself. I'm talking to my sister. What's your excuse? - Wolverine Claws
- Yank the Dog's Chain: In her Vanilla ending, Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling go to meet Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, so that he can put their mother's soul to rest and return them back to normal humans. He does so without any reluctance... And then the dialogue reveals that the ending isn't real, but is a comic book the sisters drew together to deal with their troubles.
- In Ultimate, they actually meet the character in question, who seems genuinely concerned about their condition and wonders if he could help.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair
Jill Valentine My orders are to capture you.
Home Series: Resident EvilJill was a member of the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, along with Chris Redfield. Surviving the Raccoon City Incident and an attempt on her life by the Nemesis monster, she joined the B.S.A.A. and worked with Chris once more on a mission to find Ozwell E. Spencer, the founder of Umbrella. Encountering Wesker, who had already killed Spencer, she tackled him out of a window to their supposed deaths. Both survived, but Wesker used her as a test subject for Uroboros, and she was brainwashed into becoming his puppet bodyguard. - Ax Crazy: Possibly.
(To Chris) All enemies will be destroyed. - Back-to-Back Badasses: With Blade in her ending, unwillingly.
- Badass Abnormal
- Battle Aura: Like Wesker, she has little dark wisps rising from her body. And even more elaborate in her Mad Beast mode, in which she's surrounded by a purple aura.
- Be My Valentine
- Brainwashed and Crazy
- Calling Your Attacks:
SOMERSAULT! - Camera Abuse: When she wins, she walks slowly in an appealing fashion toward the camera, but pulls out a needle and attempts to stab the cameraman with it, with her face brimming with rage.
- Her winning quotes imply that the person Jill is about to stab is one of the defeated opponents.
Jill: Now you can become one of us... - Combat Stilettos
- Ditto Fighter: She has some of Wesker's moves, including a Flash Step.
- The Dog Bites Back:
This has been a long time coming, Wesker. - Downloadable Content
- Fighting Your Friend: Against Chris.
(to Chris) You're expendable, Chris Redfield. - Fragile Speedster: Extremely fast, can go into a stance that makes her faster, and has a super mode that turns her into a hedgehog on speed, but has low health.
- Guns Akimbo: Uses two Skorpions during her Machine Gun Spray Hyper.
- The Hunter: Apparently acting as Wesker's Dragon.
(to the X-Men, Magneto, & Deadpool) Ready to seize mutant target. (to the X-Men, Magneto, & Deadpool) Mutant taken into custody. (to various others, including Galactus) My orders are to capture you. (win screen text against Chris) You are beaten, Chris Redfield. Now you too will serve Wesker. - Kick Chick: Combined with Combat Stilettos.
- Late Arrival Spoiler: This is the Jill from Resident Evil 5: i.e. powered up, somewhat psychotic, and almost entirely under Wesker's control.
- Mind-Control Device: The red thing on her chest.
- More Dakka: One of her hypers involves cartwheeling while wildly firing uzis everywhere. Does very low damage unless you know how to set it up, though.
- Murderous Thighs: Her legs are strong enough to snap Iron Man's neck with ease. Or M.O.D.O.K.'s. Or Shuma-Gorath's. Or Sentinel's. Oddly, they only snap Viewtiful Joe's helmet.
- Rogue Protagonist
- Slave Mook: Just to hammer the point home, she cringes in pain and clutches her chest as her taunt.
- Spy Catsuit
- Super Mode: The Mad Beast hyper, which allows her to spam quick dashes across the ground and the air, as well as allowing her to cancel her special attacks into another.
- Training from Hell: Implied in her dialogue with Wesker.
Jill: Ready for training. Wesker: Let's see how good you really are. Jill (when she wins): My training's complete. *pulls out a syringe and stabs at the POV* This has been a long time coming, Wesker.
Mike Haggar You're gonna regret this in the morning.
Home Series: Final FightMike Haggar is a former wrestler and the mayor of Metro City. He often takes to the streets to deal with Metro City's gang problems, especially if it involves his daughter.Haggar is a slow, grappling character who will floor you if he can manage to get in close, making his approach predictable if his opponent is aware of it. He is the only character in the game with an invincible assist, with the trade off being that it costs him a bit of health to use. - Ambadassador
- Authority Equals Asskicking: He's the mayor of Metro City. In the intro cinematic he's running for New York City Mayor, according the burning billboard he and Felicia are trying to put out. And in his ending, he's elected President of the United States. With Tony Stark as his VP.
- Badass
- Badass Mustache
- Badass Normal: With Hawkeye, Chris Redfield, Frank West and Phoenix Wright, one of only four normal humans in the game. Even more than Chris, who still uses multiple weapons; Haggar's perfectly normal.
- Berserk Button: Don't mess with his campaign signs. He will mess you up.
- Call Back: Retains attacks from Final Fight and his guest appearances in the Saturday Night Slam Masters games.
- Calling Your Attacks:
VIOLENT AXE! PILEDRIVER! BACKDROP! Body... PRESS!!! - Charles Atlas Superpower: Can take on mutants, superheroes, and gods with nothing but his natural physique and the occasional piece of pipe.
- Crazy Awesome: Not nearly at Deadpools levels, but still. To wit, when a clash between two gods sends a stray fireball to ruin his election poster, what does he do. Run away before he gets killed? Nope. Go after them with a lead pipe and beat there asses down.
- Everything's Better with Spinning: His Wild Spin aerial command grab, in which he spins the opponent multiple times and then throwing him/her to the ground.
- Divergent Character Evolution: Originally Zangief was a clear expy of him, with mostly the same moves. In later Final Fight games, Haggar modified some of his own moves to resemble Zangief's more. As of MvC3, both of them are completely different. Even their shared moves (lariat and piledriver) behave differently, with the rest of Haggar's moveset is more focused on rushing, juggling, and striking than any form of grappling.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: In his Level 3 hyper.
- Hammerspace: An iron pipe that appears out of nowhere.
- Heroic Build
- Improvised Weapon
- Mighty Glacier: Normally, but like Sentinel, his Lag Cancel makes him really fast.
- Our Mayors Are Different: Mayor Action. In his ending, he's elected President Action.
- Papa Wolf:
(win screen text): Just be lucky you didn't touch my daughter, or else you would have seen me when I'm really angry! - Rapid Fire Fisticuffs: His Rapid Fire Fist hyper. Mashing the attack button will make it longer.
- Repeat Cut: His Level 3 hyper has the scene of him piledriving his opponent repeated 3 times.
- The Rival: Hulk acknowledges him as a Worthy Opponent, and then Haggar confirms this.
(before the fight) Don't worry. I'm more than a challenge for you. (if Haggar wins) You'd make a great wrestler yourself. - Shockwave Stomp: His Giant Haggar Press (Body Splash) hyper, which creates a fiery explosion upon impact.
- Spirited Competitor
(to Ryu) I haven't had a fight like that ever since I became mayor. Thanks, kid, that hit the spot. - Stealth Pun: He's a city mayor who solves criminal problems by violent acts. *
One of his specials is Violent Axe. - Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Zangief, for this game, because their attacks are identical. In actuality, Haggar predates Zangief by a few years.
- Taught By Experience
(to She-Hulk) You have the speed, power, and smarts to take down anyone but me. Why? It's all about experience. - Unexpected Character: Apart from what appeared to be a brief leakage of his appearence beforehand, nobody expected the return of Haggar.
- Use Your Head: He has a command headbutt that dizzies the opponent.
- Walking Shirtless Scene
- Wrestler in All of Us: He's a former pro wrestler.
Morrigan Aensland I want you... body and soul. Voiced by: Siobhan Flynn (English), Rie Tanaka (Japanese)
Home Series: DarkstalkersA hedonistic succubus, Morrigan is very powerful and prefers to neglect her duties and instead spend time in the human world. - Absolute Cleavage
- Anime Hair
- Anti-Hero: She just loves to have fun finding "pleasure" (or, if you factor what she really is, Type V).
- Authority Equals Asskicking: Comes from one of the several houses of nobility in Makai, and she's technically its future ruler, which makes her something of a Badass Princess. She's rebellious, though.
Storm: If you truly are the queen of your realm, then you should behave in the manner befitting one. - Battle Aura: Her body is surrounded by faint greenish-white wisps of fire. When she floats across the ground, it forms a circular ring of fire around her feet. She also releases a full-body pinkish aura during her Astral Vision hyper, while her clone doesn't have an aura.
- Bullet Hell: A natural result of using her un-fly combos to fire off an inordinate number of Soul Fists in a relatively short period of time. Adding Astral Vision and/or X-Factor to the mix only serves to exacerbate this.
- Calling Your Attacks:
SOUL FIST! SHADOW BLADE! SHELL KICK! - Combat Stilettos
- Combat Tentacles: Of which Deadpool found himself on the wrong end of.
- Corrupt the Cutie: Her win text for X-23.
Such a pure and chaste spirit. Oh, the ways in which I could corrupt you... - Also, Phoenix, given her intro quote.
You need to strip off those prosaic morals. - Curtains Match the Window
- Doppelgänger Attack: Astral Vision and Darkness Illusion.
- Femme Fatale
- Flight: She's capable of this, for a short time. As if a jet dash isn't enough...
- Horny Devil: Well, she is a succubus, albeit a friendly one.
Arthur: You truly are a temptress of the dark! Begone, for I have a princess to save! - Licked by the Dog: Literally by Amaterasu. Considering Amaterasu is a Physical God (Licked By The God, then?), that's got to count for something.
- Macross Missile Massacre: Finishing Shower.
- Mana Burn: Ultimate gives her a new projectile special that drains the meter of her opponent named "Soul Drain."
- Morph Weapon: Her wings.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: During Vector Drain. Also during her Level 3.
- Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Averted for once with her English voice, though erratically.
- One To Million To One: Not unlike Nevan (yet another Horny Devil heavily associated with bats, go figure), Morrigan disperses into a cloud of bats during her battle with Iron Man in the Episode 1 trailer to avoid his repulsor beam, only to reform, seduce him, and then Vector Drain Tony down into a billboard.
- Painted On Pants
- Power Creep, Power Seep: Present in her own series and even moreso here. Darkstalkers have a ranking system that puts Morrigan above guys who can casually destroy the Earth (keep in that said guy is an expy of Galactus, the game's final boss) and she is responsible for governing an area at least 100 times its size.
- Power Floats: She's above walking.
- Really Gets Around
- Sexy Backless Outfit
- Shotoclone
- Spinning Piledriver: Vector Drain.
- Spirited Competitor
- Stripperific
- Vapor Wear: Everything that she's wearing is nothing more than bats that reshape themselves according to her will.
- Supernatural Martial Arts
- This Is a Drill: Shell Kick.
- Warrior Therapist: Apparently for Magneto.
(before the match) Allow me to release your hate. (win pose) You need to learn to think happy thoughts. - Winged Humanoid: Along with an additional pair on her head.
Nathan "Radd" Spencer Alright, who wants some of this?
Home Series: Bionic CommandoSpencer was a spec-ops soldier working for the government. He became notorious for stopping the resurrection of Adolf Hitler and ending the Bionic Wars. However, the government betrayed him by enacting the Bionic Purge, and he was sentenced to imprisonment. When a new threat arrived, Spencer was released, being the only man for the job. - Ambidextrous Sprite: Despite using 3D models for the game, his bionic arm. As with Ryu and other characters, the character animations are meant to be viewed from one angle, and model flipping preserves that appearance.
- Anti-Hero
- Artificial Limb
- Boisterous Bruiser: Ironic, isn't it? With lines like, "So long, sucker!" and "Party time!", it's hard to believe that this is the same Spencer from the Darker and Edgier 2009 sequel (although to be fair, he did exhibit shades of this trope even there).
- Calling Your Attacks:
Bionic... AAAAAARM!!! - Cool Shades: With his DLC alternate look (his Rearmed appearance).
- Death from Above: A new move added in Ultimate, named "Bionic Bomber", specifically a descending powerful punch. Carried over from his home series (there, it's exactly named "Death From Above").
- Ground-Shattering Landing: His intro pose.
- Megaton Punch: His Bionic Lancer hyper, the "Bionic AAAAARRRRRM!!"
- Mighty Glacier: Skirts the line. His bionic arm does give him good mobility in the air, though.
- Nothing Personal:
(when he beats Cap) I'm on a mission. Nothing personal. - Not Quite Flight: He uses his bionic arm to move along the stages. He also can aim his arm upwards and then swing forward.
- Perma Stubble
- Powered by a Forsaken Child: His bionic arm is powered by his dead wife's soul.
- Red-Headed Hero: With his DLC alternate look (his Rearmed appearance).
- Trash Talk:
( to Iron Man) How much of that suit is bionic? (to Spider-Man) You don't know nothing about swinging! (to Chris) Is that it? You're seriously outgunned. (to Felicia) I'll wipe that smile off your face - Unnecessary Combat Roll: Instead of dashing like everyone else.
- When All You Have Is a Hammer: He doesn't have much moves and he only got 2 hypers, but they can be used in various ways.
- Worthy Opponent: He appears to view Rocket Raccoon as this. To put this in perspective, he openly shows respect for Rocket Raccoon as a soldier while trash talking Chris Redfield and Captain America.
- You Will Not Evade Me: His standard use of his grappling hook arm is to pull enemies closer to him.
Ryu Show me your strength!
Home Series: Street FighterRyu lives only for the fight and seeks opponents stronger than himself. He fights using the art of Ansatsuken as taught to him by his master, Gouken. Ryu has a solid, balanced style that is good for beginners, with his potential brought out by players with a firm grip on the core mechanics of the game. - Blood Knight: Read it again: "Ryu lives only for the fight..." Not to Akuma's extremes, but still.
- Calling Your Attacks:
HADOUKEN! SHORYUKEN! SHAKUNETSU! TATSUMAKI SENPUUKYAKU! HADOU SHORYUKEN! Shinkuu... HADOOOOKEN!!! Shinkuu... TATSUMAKI SENPUUKYAKU!!! - Combat Compliment: See Spirited Competitor, below.
- Heroic Build
- Hurricane Kick
- I Know You Are In There Somewhere Fight/Enemy Within
(To Phoenix) I see you are battling your inner demon. You must prove that you are stronger than they are.'' - In Harm's Way: His ending.
- Ki Attacks
- Kamehame Hadoken
- Martial Arts Headband
- Patrick Stewart Speech
(One of his winquotes) Dedicate yourself and anything is possible! Human potential is truly limitless... - Pillars of Moral Character
- Playing with Fire: His Shakunetsu Hadoken.
- Shoryuken
- Shotoclone: Technically averted as he's the original (if not vanilla) version.
- Spirited Competitor: He's also a Blood Knight, but is a much more benign version, unlike Akuma. Many of his winquotes lampshade this.
(to Wolverine) And I thought facing someone with one claw was bad enough. You really put me to the test. Thank you. - Some characters call him out on this:
Chun-Li: You never stop fighting, do you? Iron Man: There´s more to life than just fighting. Fast cars and women, for example. Wolverine: You're a good kid. Lotsa spirit. But you gotta find somethin' to fight for. Trust me on this one. Wolverine: I thought you'd have more fight in you, kid.
- The Stoic
- Super Mode: In Ultimate, he gains a buff hyper (Hado Kakusei) that enhances his special moves:
- Charged Attack: His S Hadoken (aka Baku Hadoken) and Shoryuken (aka Hado Shoryuken) can be charged for higher damage. If charged long enough, his Hadoukens can become invisible.
- Reflecting Laser: His Shin Hadoken (evolved from Shinkuu Hadoken) can reflect off walls in Ultimate.
- Supernatural Martial Arts: His Ansatsuken (or, as some sources put it, "Shotokan") fighting technique.
- Walking the Earth
- Why Did It Have To Be Spiders?: His original character profile from Street Fighter II says that his only dislike is "spiders" (because one of them once crawled into his mouth while he was asleep; this was a prank by Ken). This is referenced in his pre-match speech against Spider-Man.
Spiders. I hate spiders. - Wolverine Publicity: He's considered Capcom's face for the series and his home series.
- Worthy Opponent: Mutually with Iron Fist in Ultimate. In Ryu's Ultimate ending, he has become the next Iron Fist.
Trish Be a lamb... go gentle on me.
Home Series: Devil May CryA woman created by the demon Mundus to seduce and destroy Dante. However, she ends up aiding Dante on his quest to vanquish demons.- Absolute Cleavage
- Action Girl
- Artificial Demon
- Badass
- Bare Your Midriff: Is it the fashion trend this season?
- Beam Spam: Her Maximum Voltage hyper.
- BFS: The Sparda, which normally Sticks to the Back.
- Combat Stilettos
- Composite Character: She wears her costume from the first Devil May Cry and has her hair styled as she did in her original appearance but her interactions with Dante and a reference to Gloria in her win quotes means she is at least the DMC4 version of Trish.
- Cool Guns: Luce and Ombra, though they appear only in her Level 3 and in her throw moves. (That's Ombra in her character portrait.)
- Cool Shades: She discards them before a match and produces a new pair from her Victoria's Secret Compartment after she wins.
- Diving Kick: Available as a normal move.
- Double Jump: Like Dante, Air Hike.
- Femme Fatale: A milder version compared to Morrigan.
- Flight: She's capable of this, for a short time.
- The Gunslinger
- Hell-Bent for Leather
- Hidden Depths
Yes, I'm actually a demon spawn from Hell, but I'm really a sweet girl once you get to know me. - Instant Runes: In some of her attacks.
- Kick Chick: An honorable mention. When she's not using her sword and blasting you with lightning, that is.
- Named Weapons: The Sparda, Luce & Ombra.
- Of Corsets Sexy
- One-Woman Wail: Her theme.
 - Screw Destiny: See her bio above.
X-23: You too were created for a purpose you did not wish to fulfill. You have my sympathy. - She also tells this to Akuma:
As a former demon myself, I gotta ask you. Is this really the life you want for yourself? - Shock and Awe: She challenges the Thunder God Himself to see who's better with their lightning powers.
So you're the God of Thunder. Really? We may have similar powers, but you don't know me. - Sexy Backless Outfit: Her victory portrait via Ultimate.
- Sexy Walk: Does this for her normal movement.
- Sticks to the Back: The sword Sparda.
- Sword and Gun: Technically this as she uses the Sparda, but only uses Luce and Ombra in certain points.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial:
(random win quote): Gloria? Never heard of her. - Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Round Trip, where her Sparda turns into a scythe and she then throws it at the opponent. She also possesses a multi-hitting hyper variant, Round Harvest. Both are Homing Projectiles.
- Trap Master: With her Trick (Hopscotch and Peek-A-Boo) specials.
- Unexpected Character
- Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Her ending has Trish beating up a flustered Nightcrawler, who tries to assert that he's not a demon.
- Vapor Wear: Impossibly Low Neckline? Check. Painted On Pants? Check. There's not really room for anything else under there.
- Woman in Black: Mostly subverted.
- You Will Not Evade Me: Borderline example with her Round Trip move.
- Even moreso with Round Harvest, the hyper combo version.
Tron Bonne I would give up now if I were you.
Home Series: Mega Man LegendsA pirate and mechanical genius, Tron Bonne uses her Servbots to do her bidding. She has a love-hate relationship with MegaMan Volnutt. She seeks all the world's riches, but usually ends up getting in debt because of her mishaps. - Alertness Blink: In her Level 3 hyper, as her mecha goes down before her when she, with her mecha, jumps into the air.
- Ambidextrous Sprite: Despite using 3D models for the game, Gustaff's cannon arm.
- Anime Hair
- Anti-Villain (Type I): In the opening movies. Remember, Tron Bonne was a main antagonist in the Mega Man Legends series, but in the cutscenes, she's shown fighting against the Marvel villains with the rest of the heroes.
- Aside Glance: If you've selected Tron as your 3rd character, watch her eyes during your point character's banter. She'll look at the camera, and once more before "FIGHT!" is announced.
- Assist Character: Gustaff does all of her attacks, and she's also assisted by Servbots.
- Awesomeness Is Volatile: In her Level 3 hyper, she grabs her opponent and grind him/her against the earth until it creates fire. Also, when she slammed the opponent down afterward, it creates an explosion.
- Back-to-Back Badasses: With Trish in the opening movie.
- Bandit Mook: Her Beacon Bomb attacks. Those Servbots aren't merely stunning the enemy, they're also stealing a refractor shard (a small portion of their hyper meter) and returning it to Tron so she can line her pockets with more zenny.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: After her assist, Tron waves to the screen and says, "Thanks for playing!"
- Calling Your Attacks:
BONNE STRIKE! KING SERVBOT! - Card-Carrying Villain: She acknowledges what she is and considers it fun. That doesn't stop her from teaming up with the good guys on occasion.
"Yeah, that's right, I'm bad! - Confetti Drop: A variant; her victory animation involves her firing some confetti into the air using Gustaff to accompany her V-sign winpose.
- Cute Bruiser: Downplayed. Her playstyle involves heavy bruising and she got good speed to back it up, which makes it played straight except that she uses a Mini Mecha to do so.
- Distracted by the Sexy: She gets rather distracted while admiring how Nova looks in his Latex Space Suit.
- Drop the Hammer: The King Servbot uses it.
- Easter Egg: Tron also appears in the background of the Kattelox Island stage with Teisel Bonne, unless she's in the fight, in which case you see Teisel alone cheering her on. If two Trons appear in the fight at the same time, Teisel becomes visibly shocked and confused.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Yes, she's a villain, but the cinematics show her fighting against the world-conquering baddies.
- Everything's Better with Spinning: Her Bonne Mixer command grab and her Level 3 hyper, Shakedown Mixer.
- Fire Breathing Weapon: Her Gustaff has a built-in flamethrower.
- Gadgeteer Genius
- Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: In her intro pose and character art, as you can see.
- Insufferable Genius: According to the character bio sheet in vanilla, she's tied with Albert Wesker as the most intelligent character (higher than Dr. Doom) in this game. The stats have been adjusted in Ultimate, placing her intelligence down back into the more believable realm of what a human can accomplish, but this still makes her smarter than the majority of the cast. Unfortunately, along with her wealth, this gives her a superiority complex.
- Kleptomaniac Villain
If it's not nailed down, it's mine! (to Doom) Let's see... I got this, and this, and... Ooh! I'll take this throne, too! I look better on it anyway! (to Doom, Iron Man, Sentinel, or Zero) I found me some new robot parts! (To Iron Man, Sentinel, or Zero) I can't wait to start building new robots with your parts. Felicia: You should know that stealing is wrong! If my mother were here, she'd really punish you and good! - Mini Mecha: Her Gustaff.
- Name Tron
- Noblewoman's Laugh: Her taunt.
- Panty Shot: After her Level 3 Hyper, she falls into Gustaff upside down, giving a clear look at her underoos.
- The Paralyzer: Her small gun (the Beacon Bomb special) only stuns the opponent in place.
- Pirate Girl
- Rich Bitch
- Swiss Army Weapon: Technically, her Gustaff, as it can transform its parts into multiple things.
- This Is a Drill: Her Gustaff comes equipped with a drill (the Bonne Strike). Mash the command button to score more hits.
- Trash Talk: To Phoenix Wright when she beats him.
Tron: You don't have any mecha and you don't know how to fight. What are you even doing here? - V Sign: Her Victory Pose.
- Wingding Eyes: If K.O.ed via chipping damage or weak blows or if using her Spin Attack aerial, she gains the classic "swirly eyes" look.
- Yandere: Judging at her ending, she wants Rock Volnutt to dine together with her. If he says no, her Servbot #42 is going to have "a word" with him. Too bad for him, #42 is a Sentinel.
- Zerg Rush: Courtesy of the Servbots.
Viewtiful Joe You will stop your evil ways! Did I say that right?
Home Series: Viewtiful JoeSucked into Movieland, Viewtiful Joe fights for truth and justice using the time altering powers of his V-watch, which is activated by the magical phrase "Henshin." - Ascended Fanboy: Much like in TvC, he starts gushing around the Marvel superheroes.
( against any Marvel hero and Deadpool) Whoa! You're a real hero? For real? (winning against any Marvel hero) Well now, guess we know who's the real hero. (against Nova) Whoa! Nova! Can I have your autograph? ( against any Marvel villain) You will stop your evil ways! ...did I say that right?'' (winning against any Marvel villain) Good always triumphs... as they say! ( to Wolverine) Duuuude! You're the real Wolverine! Can I get a picture? An autograph? Also, let's hear that SNIKT! - Assist Character: Assisted by Sexy Silvia in his Six Cannon super.
- Bash Brothers: With Amaterasu in Episode 2 Trailer.
- Badass Beard: Goatee, actually, but it's the thought that counts.
- Battle Boomerang: His Voomerang. It can be charged for homing and fiery effect.
- BFG: His Six Cannon.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Occasionally, when Joe wins, he'll mention that he "beat Marvel vs. Capcom 3!"
- Also his very presence is a fourth-wall breaker as, outside of Movieland, Joe is incapable of transforming unless there's a VFX camera pointed at him.
- Bullet Time: Joe's VFX Slow ability works a bit differently here with his Viewtiful God Hand hyper: instead of slowing down everything (including himself), he instead grabs his opponent and actually transfers the Slow power into them directly.
- Calling Your Attacks:
VOOMERANG! RED HOT KICK! MACH SPEED! Come on, Six Machine! SIX CANNON! - Cartoon Bomb: The Shocking Pink.
- Cool Helmet
Hulk (when tagging in Joe): Funny Helmet Man! - Diving Kick: The Red Hot Kick.
- Double Jump
- Fragile Speedster
- Fun Personified: He's so ridiculously energetic and so obviously thrilled to be mixing it up with "real" heroes and villains.
- Heroic Build: Arguably parodied.
- Just for Pun
(to Spider-Man) I can see the headline for the next Bugle: "Mystery Hero Saves The Day! Not Your Average Joe"! - Keet
- Large Ham
- Ordinary High School Student: According to his bio, Joe's just a 17-year-old high school student.
- Pintsized Powerhouse
- Playing with Fire
- Rapidfire Fisticuffs: In his Mach Speed hyper.
- Red-Headed Hero
- Fiery Red Head: The "fire" comes more from his pessimistic snark than it does from his dreadlocks.
- The Rival:
- Amusingly, in the first Viewtiful Joe game, "Stylish" was the epithet given to Joe's rival Alastor as a playable character. And Alastor is a walking Devil May Cry reference, so...
- Scarf of Asskicking: A pink scarf.
(to Strider): Whoooo-wee! I just rocked your world, ninja-boy! And I got the cooler scarf to boot! - Shoryuken: His Groovy Uppercut. Interestingly, he can link it up with another attack, even another Groovy Uppercut.
- Shotoclone: Technically.
- Slide Attack
- Spam Attack: His Air Joe. As the name suggests, this could only be done in midair; given the nature of the game (mostly launcher + air combo), this is actually easy to pull off.
- Stuff Blowing Up: His Shocking Pink bombs.
- Wreathed in Flames: During his Mach Speed hyper.
Zero This'll be over in a nanosecond.
Home Series: Mega Man XThe last creation of Dr. Wily, Zero was awakened by Sigma to fight as a Maverick Hunter. Sigma, however, ended up infected with the Maverick virus, and betrayed his comrades. Zero has on more than one occasion teamed up with Mega Man X to stop Sigma's schemes. He always gets the job done in a cool and confident manner. - Anti-Hero: Being the Anti Antichrist, accidentally killing your own girlfriend/love interest, the Big Bad pursuing you and trying to use your viral coding to both infect the earth and bring your "true" personality back to the surface (not to mention orchestrating the events leading to the whole "dead girlfriend" scenario)... Even as The Atoner, it's a bit hard for Zero to be a cheerful soul (or even his pre-X5 self) in his fight against evil and injustice.
- Arm Cannon: His Z-Buster. Its strength depends on how long you charged it.
- Badass
- Battle Aura: During his Sougenmu. Also briefly during his Level 3. In the latter, you may notice that it's the same as Awakening Zero's aura from X5.
- Bilingual Bonus: Genmurei (rendered here as Genmu Zero) translates to "Illusion Zero."
- Brought to You by the Letter "S": He has a "Z" on his left shoulder.
- Calling Your Attacks:
HADANGEKI! RYUENJIN! HIENKYAKU! SENTSUIZAN! REKKOHA! It's over... SOUGENMU! Ittouryuudan! GENMU ZERO! - Char Clone
- Critical Existence Failure: Explodes into orbs of light when KO'd.
- Death from Above: Rekkoha.
- Doppelgänger Attack: Sougenmu.
- Flash Step: Hienkyaku, his command dashing special.
- Glass Cannon
- Gradual Grinder
- Gratuitous Japanese: A staple of his character since X8 (in English, at least). His specials don't need to be shouted in Japanese, but it probably wouldn't be as cool. (He's actually been naming his techniques in Japanese since X4.)
- Ground Pound: Again, Rekkoha.
- The Hunter: A Maverick Hunter. Somewhat logical, given that Maverick is a term for a robot that aims to harm humans. Sentinel is made to combat (mutant) humans. And that's if you don't factor Sentinels' occasional Zeroth Law Rebellion.
(to Sentinel) Found a Maverick. I'll take care of it! (to Sentinel) I'll hunt down all Mavericks, no matter where you hide. That is my duty as a Maverick Hunter! - Jerkass Façade: He may seem a bit abrasive and bluntly outspoken, but anyone with deeper understanding of his backstory knows that this is a mask used to cover up a chasm of emotional tragedies he's suffered through. He's still a noble and heroic soul deep down, he's just really bad at properly emoting.
- Laser Blade: The Z-Saber.
- Mirror Match: Lampshaded in his quote against himself, which refers to him easily destroying the black copy of him in Mega Man X2, as well as Omega Zero in Zero 3.
Another soulless copy. - Morality Chain: X, apparently. True to form, Zero is not only X's Lancer, but the Knave to his Knight.
(one of his win texts) If X were here, he would have tried to talk things out first. Unfortunately, X isn't here. - My Hero Zero: The one and only.
- Perpetual Frowner: Has his reasons, though.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He beams out of the battlefield when he wins a fight. Thus, his win picture is a shot of the beginning of the cinematic, unlike the other characters whose winpics usually pick the last shot of the character's face.
- Shoryuken: His Ryuenjin is essentially this trope, done with a Flaming Sword.
- Shock and Awe: His new special, Raikousen, a quick airborne stab attack which is aimable at 3 ways depending on the button used.
- Shotoclone: Technically.
- Spin Attack: Kuuenzan, his aerial Heavy (which also has a reversed variant as a command special, likely as a reference to Zero being able to turn during his rolling slash in the X series), a staple ability of his in some way or another throughout MMX and MMZ. Oddly enough, Kuuenbu, the ability from which the Kuuenzan is derived (which would be internalized into Zero's movement techniques by X6), is not present here, despite it being an almost universal feature in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
- The Stoic
- Trash Talk: His win quote to Arthur in particular.
Zero: "You call that a sword?" - Victory Is Boring: One of his phrases during his winning animation goes as follows:
How boring... - Worthy Opponent: He sees Super-Skrull as one.
- You Remind Me of X: In this case, literally.
(Victory screen vs. Hawkeye) You're very cunning. You have that in common with X. You also lost to me, so you share that too.
