History Characters / VirtuaFighter

* DreadlockRasta[=/=]ForeignCultureFetish: Jeffry is ''supposedly'' an Australian Aboriginal, but a lot of his character traits would seem to point to him being Jamaican; he has dreadlocks, likes reggae music, wears a Jamaican style hat sometimes, and he even has a Jamaican accent in the English dub of the anime. One has to wonder if the developers got Aborigine and Jamaican confused. Or as a sailor, maybe he just spent a lot of time in the Caribbean.

* CanadaEh: Of the Great North Woods variety. Wolf cuts down giant redwoods with an axe, lives in a log cabin, and trains outside in the snow. He's also notable as the first Canadian playable character in ''any'' fighting game.

These are the characters from ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter''. Sorted by their chronological appearances.

* BruceLeeClone: {{Subverted|Trope}}. JKD practitioner he may be, but he doesn't fit any of the Creator/BruceLee elements beyond his fighting style.

* EvilMask: [[spoiler:Wears a half mask of gold in the second season to hide the burn scars she received in the finale of the first season.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Her refusal to brainwash Pai at the of Season 1 is what ultimately stalls the marraige long enough for Akira and the others to arrive to Pai's aid, ultimately derailing Liu's plans in the process. Subverted as it's implied she did this intentionally to screw with Liu in the end, having conditioned the brainwashing to break with the TriggerPhrase "you may kiss the bride".

->A rising martial arts practitioner in the [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Koenkan]], as well as an apparent member of a UsefulNotes/HongKong Triad. He had plotted to use his upcoming marriage to Pai in order to become the next successor to Lau Chan as the next head of the Koenkan, but Pai refuses to play along...

%%* StatuesqueStunner

* StatuesqueStunner: She is 175cm tall (5'9''), which is apart of her AmazonianBeauty appeal.

* AmazonianBeauty: Mostly in ''4''. ''Evo'' covered her up [[{{Bowdlerise}} in the American version]], while ''5'' slimmed her down considerably (''Final Showdown'' does offer customization options that allow the player to mostly "restore" Vanessa's muscularity, though).

* {{Bowdlerise}}: In the American version of ''Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution'', she's given a tanned-colored recolor of her 2P outfit instead of her 1P outfit from the vanilla version. In the Japanese version, she retains her VF 4 1P outfit.

%%* StatuesqueStunner

* SkillGateCharacter: Jeffry is a particularly beginner friendly character, as he has high damage for relatively low execution, his attacks have high range thanks to his size, he's in the heavyweight class which reduces potential combo damage against him, and he has a single stance which can safely be ignored early on compared to other characters who have them. He struggles mainly due to a lack of speed on his attacks or any unique tool to abuse on top of the universal system mechanics.
