* BreakoutCharacter: She was conceived as the mascot for a series of ''pachinko machines''. But she proved so popular that she's become a playable fighter in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXIV''

* DistaffCounterpart: She's pretty much a female version of Terry; Rock notes as such in his win quote against her ad happens to be the Women Fighters team's equivalent of him (With Mai being the equivalent of Andy due to using Ninjutsu like him and King being the equivalent of Joe due to using Muay Thai like him) In fact, one could say that she is to the Fatal Fury Team what Shingo was to the Japan team. Given her penchant for copying moves from different Fatal Fury characters, she could also be considered one of Rock.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Speaks in fluent English (though not 100% perfect) and Japanese, Alice doesn’t share Terry’s charming broken English.

* MulticoloredHair: White and black[[HairColorDissonance /]][[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]].

%%* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Poor, ''poor'' Lily.]]

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: He's like a Native American cross between Balrog and Dudley, having Balrog's U.S.A. nationality and casino association but Dudley's sense of honor and chivalry. Notably he is a lightweight boxer unlike those two who are heavyweights, but he still packs quite a punch. He's also rather reminiscent of T. Hawk in his Native American motifs.
* BitCharacter: For being such a cool character design with a surprisingly developed move repertoire, it's depressing how completely irrelevant to the plot Rick is. He might as well be a BonusBoss: he shows up once, fights with Terry, and never shows up again.
* BloodKnight: Like many fighting game protags, Rick gets fired up at the thought of a good challenge and loves facing strong opponents.
* BadassNative: If only in a general sense, as SNK left his actual tribe of ancestry unknown so he could stand in for all Native Americans.

* {{Hunk}}: He's a very fit and good looking young man. Sadly, this isn't enough to overcome the {{Fanservice}} appeal of Li Xiangfei above, who he is passed over in favor of for inclusion in ''KOF ''99'', or Vanessa who more or less completely replaces him.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Inverted. He was probably meant to ''be'' this, or at least to be a supporting protagonist to Terry, but for whatever reason he never caught on and a later KOF character, Vanessa, swiped his fighting style more or less wholesale. This, along with the usual SNK helping {{Fanservice}}, led her to become this to Rick.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alice_kofxiv.png]]

->''"I plan on getting even stronger, so be ready!"''

-->'''Voiced by:''' Akino Hayashi

He is the father of Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard, and once a disciple of Tung Fu Rue. His age is not known, but he was older than his former companion Geese Howard before his death... at the hands of said former companion, who was DrivenByEnvy since he got passed up as the successor of the secret Hakkyokuseiken techniques to favor Jeff. This happened in front of Jeff's sons, who swear to get even with Geese, and this pretty much gets the ball of ''the whole Fatal Fury plot'' rolling...

In the first anime special, she first appears a little girl whom Geese forces to get involved in the circumstances that lead to Jeff Bogard's death. Flash forward to ten years, and we see her as the "Queen of South Town," a beautiful FemmeFatale who is a part of Geese's entourage. Deep down, though, still feels guilty for the part she took in the aforementioned tragedy.

In the second special, this pre-teen boy from South Town is introduced as a huge Terry fanboy. However, he catches his idol in a particularly low moment...

Tony's mother, who has been rasing him on her own.

A girl who appears in TheMovie. A young girl from a rich family with a '''huge''' secret, she escapes from her older brother Laocorn's grip and seeks for Terry and his friends's help, becoming the key to unlock a massive conspiration...

Sulia's older brother and the leader of the Gaudeamus clan. [[spoiler: Has been the SoulJar of the god Mars for some years already, after he tried to use a piece of the Armor to avenge his and Sulia's parents's murders.]] Ever since then he has been a CorruptCorporateExecutive, hell bent on world domination.

Kim's beautiful, serious and kind wife.

One of Laocorn's three retainers. An honorable and powerful man who happens to be on the wrong side and unable to leave.

The second of Laocorn's three retainers. A beautiful and powerful woman who sincerely loves her boss.

The third of Laocorn's three retainers, as well as the most amoral. Has a VillainousCrush on Mai.

[[folder:Alice Nakata]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alice_kofxiv.png]]

Alice debuted as the mascot of a ''Fatal Fury'' pachinko machine. She is a big fan of Terry Bogard and the other Southtown fighters, and has studied their moves to create a functional if amateur fighting style of her own.

----
* BreakoutCharacter: She was conceived as the mascot for a series of ''pachinko machines''. But she proved so popular that she's become a playable fighter in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXIV''
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Terry Bogard; so much that she's themed her own fighting style and fashion sense after his.

A Southtown freelance agent who takes up any case that comes her way. Had a boyfriend named Butch who was killed on duty when working as a Secret Service agent. Practices Combat Sambo in her spare time and has a dog named Anton.

* ActionGirl: She works as a private investigator in one of the most crime ridden (fictional) cities in the US and has fought alongside KOF veterans such as King and Mai Shiranui, while undercover.
* AmazonianBeauty: She's conspicuously ''jacked'' for a woman, with salient biceps, firmly toned tummy etc...
* BadassNormal: Her fighting prowess is limited strictly to her own speed, strength, and military training. She has no ability to channel Ki, unlike many of her friends, or the people she's assigned to investigate.
* BareYourMidriff: Her standard attire includes a red halter top, pictured above.
* BikerBabe: Often seen riding a motorbike, whether in the games' intros or in the official arts of the game.
* BoobsOfSteel: Her official measurements list her as being bustier than even ''Mai''! Her fighting style is also much more physical and grappling-focused than Mai's ninjutsu.
* ButNotTooForeign: Mary is actually part-Asian, given that her grandfather was a Japanese kobujutsu master named Tatsumi Suo who once taught Geese Howard.
* CanineCompanion: Her pet dog Antonio (or Anton for short). Tends to pop up in several of Mary's poses.
* DisappearedDad: Her father died on a job with her boyfriend Butch. They were both shot defending the president.
* {{Expy}}: According to the series' developer she was modeled after [[Anime/DragonBallZ Android 18]].
* FaceHeelTurn: Not canonically, but her EX version from ''Real Bout Special'' depicts what would happen if Mary ever went bad and became a sexbomb sadist. She clearly is a MixAndMatch of DarkActionGirl and FemmeFatale[=/=]TheVamp[=/=]TheBaroness. EX Blue Mary even wears [[LadyInRed a red jacket]] and a black bra. Her ending shows her desire to make Terry into her "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything pet.]]" When Joe volunteers to also be her pet ([[EvilIsSexy and who could blame him?]]), she retorts that he already is one.
* FemmeFatale: Subverted. She appears to be one at first, but it turns out that she's actually a kind-hearted ActionGirl.
* FingerGun: Playfully uses one as a win pose in later games.
%%* FingerlessGloves: Playfully uses one as a win pose in later games.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Particularly in her first appearance; since then, it's been toned down.
* GrappleMove: "Mary Typhoon" where she grabs an opponent between her feet and performs a suplex
* TheGrappler: She creatively uses combat sambo to strike a nice balance between Big Bear and Jubei's offensive throws and Geese's counter throws.
* HeroesLoveDogs: She has a dog named Antonio. He shows up to congratulate her in various win poses.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Terry. While their relationship is never explicit, the two flirt with each other often and display a close bond with each other.
* IntercontinuityCrossover: In the KOF series, she has a working relationship with King, whom she's teamed up with on occasion. She also seems familiar with Whip, albeit to a lesser extent.
%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* HerHeartWillGoOn: She moves on after her boyfriend's death by the end of ''Fatal Fury 3'', where she continues to serve as a private investigator in South Town to honor his memory.
* HumanHammerThrow: Her 'Dynamite Swing", which involves her violently spinning her opponent and tossing him to the other side of the screen.
* JigglePhysics: Funnily enough, all that she's wearing is a ''bra''.
* {{Leitmotif}}:
** "[[https://youtu.be/KEbWUs3c2oM Kiss Me]]" in ''3''.
** "[[https://youtu.be/9tLJWOY1Bn4 Blue Mary's Blues]]" in ''Real Bout Special''
* MurderousThighs: Goes with her AmazonianBeauty theme.
* NiceGirl: While she's serious about her job, she's usually very friendly.
* PerpetualFrowner: In her backstory, the loss of her lover Butch has left her unable to smile. She's still pretty lively, though. Averted in the games proper.
* SecondLove: She's implied to have developed feelings for Terry Bogard, though nothing comes of it in ''Fatal Fury's'' canon. The KOF series makes the attraction between them more apparent, but they're still only friends as of this writing.
* ShipTease: In the KOF series, she often has flirtatious pre fight dialogue with Terry and will occasionally appear in the Fatal Fury team's endings to congratulate him. Likewise, Terry sometimes has special victory quotes for when he defeats her.
* ShockAndAwe: Gained an electric attack in the first ''Real Bout'' game, but it's rarely seen in other games. (It's a StaticStunGun, by the way.)
* TooManyBelts: She wears two. Only one holds her pants in place.
* TragicKeepsake: Her jacket [[ItWasAGift was a present]] from her dead lover Butch.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: As previously noted, she has a thing for Terry, but it remains to be seen if it ever goes beyond casual flirting.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: She's said to use Commando Sambo, but mainly subdues her opponents with grappling manuevers and submission holds.

A Capoeira student of Richard Meyer. Works at the Pao Pao Cafe with Richard and trains in Capoeria from within his spare time. Also manages the second branch of the Pao Pao Cafe.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: He is SNK's answer to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Dee Jay]], given their similarities when it comes to being cheerful musicians.
%%* TheApprentice: To Richard Meyer.
* BlowYouAway: Several of his standard specials are wind based kicks and his first HDM generates a mini-cyclone around his body.
* DanceBattler: The first true example in the series, thanks to the advances in game animation, which finally allowed SNK to accurately portray the fluidity of a proper Jinga, as well as the rhythmic movements of Capoeira in general.
* ExtremityExtremist: All of his attacks result in kicks, including his throws, both his [=DMs=], and his HDM.
%%* PrettyBoy: [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/bobwilson.jpg With a smile]]!
* SuperiorSuccessor: In terms of gameplay, both his form and his fighting ability is leagues above Meyer's. Bob even takes over his role as the series' resident Capoeirista from ''Fatal Fury 3'' onwards, limiting Meyers to only making cameo appearances.
* ThemeNaming: All of his attacks tend to have animal name motifs (Wild Wolf, Bison's Horn, Lynx's Fang, Rolling Turtle, Hornet Attack, Dangerous Wolf).
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Likes apple and pineapple according to his bio.

->'''Fighting Style:''' Kickboxing
An Italian-American former kickboxing Super Heavyweight champion whose great strength is matched only by his big heart. Having retired from kickboxing, he was working as an airplane mechanic in Southtown when his son was kidnapped by Yamazaki to draw him into the battle for Jin's secret scrolls. In ''Real Bout'', he resolves to make a comeback, with his wife's blessing.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: He is SNK's answer to [[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar]], in terms of both appearance and motivation.
* AnimationBump: His moves are animated in a notably more bouncy and stretchy way in his ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special'' sprites.
* BadassMustache: He's a mustached man who's also a big and burly fighter.
* BigOMG: His DeathCryEcho.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's big, loud and certainly enjoys fighting at heart, usually for the good sport. Positively, his heart is also as big as his stature and passion.
* ElementalPunch: His fists will catch fire as he punches for certain attacks.
* {{Flanderization}}: To an even greater extent than Hon-Fu and Yamazaki. Come ''Real Bout Special'', his design was changed from a HeroicBuild to a [[StoutStrength caricaturally bulky frame]], which received a ShoutOut in his ''Real Bout 2'' ending, where he is shown popping out of an overbody. Also, his [[HotBlooded fiery]] [[TurnsRed temper]], [[NoIndoorVoice propensity for top-of-the-lungs shouting]] and [[DumbMuscle brawn-over-brains persona]] took similar proportions: in the Japanese version of ''RBS'', his win quotes are written in katakana and come close to HulkSpeak:
--> "Nice guy! Nice fight!"
--> "Yamazakiiii! Kill you!"
--> "Billy, you dangerous."
--> [[ForeignCussWord "Fuck you!]] Geese!"
* ForcedIntoEvil: In his first appearance, as Yamakazi blackmailed him to work as Yamazaki's henchman if he wanted his son back.
* FreddieMercopy: He certainly possesses Freddie's hair style, moustache and dungarees. Though definitely not a musician, Bash can be said to be a take of 'Super Muscular Freddie'.
* LargeHam: He says everything ''very loudly'', and that was even before the {{Flanderization}} above kicked in!
* LightningBruiser: Make no mistake: He has no close-range grappling move despite his big stature, and he's fine running through the arena with decent speed with that big body of his.
* PapaWolf: The kidnapping of his son Junior is what spurred him back into combat when by default he should have retired from the ring.
* PutOnABus: Hasn't been a playable fighter since ''Real Bout Special''.
* SayMyName: "[[LargeHam JUNIOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!]]"
* StayInTheKitchen: He has some ''very'' sexist words towards Mai in his win quote.
-->"This place is not for a woman! Go back home, take off your shoes, and '''stay in the kitchen!'''"
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Again, his VA is a native speaker of English.

[[folder:Hon Fu]]

->'''Origin:''' Hong Kong
->'''Fighting Style:''' Northern Style Kung Fu
->'''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa ('''MAJOR''' PlayingAgainstType, if you remember what kind of roles Morikawa plays.)[[/note]]
An eccentric police officer from Hong Kong and an old friend of Cheng Sinzan. Though klutzy and a little headstrong, he is diligent and popular among his colleagues. His pursuit of Yamazaki brought him to Southtown and the battle for the scrolls. His weapon of choice is a pair of nunchaku, which are set ablaze during some of his special moves.

* AllAsiansKnowKungFu: A Hong-Kong detective proficient in Northern-style Kung Fu. Bonus points for being a pretty blatant Jackie Chan homage/knock-off.
* ArchEnemy: To Yamazaki. This carries onto the ''[[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom Capcom vs. SNK]]'' series, where Hon Fu joins up with [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun-Li]] to bust Yamazaki and {{cameo}}s in her intro pose with Yamazaki in ''[=CvS1=]'' and ''[=CvS2=]''.
* BruceLeeClone: Subverted. He has the [[FightingWithChucks nunchaku]] and trademark high-pitched {{Kiai}}, but he takes more pages from Creator/JackieChan.
* ButtMonkey: Hon-Fu is prone to slapstick misfortune, from jump-kicking through windows and subsequently faceplanting or hitting himself in the head or crotch to setting his posterior on fire in the fake version of his flaming uppercut move.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: His kindly demeanor and streak of bad luck notwithstanding, he is a master of Northern Style Kung-Fu and the nunchaku.
* {{Expy}}: Of Creator/JackieChan.
* FightingWithChucks: His weapon of choice.
* {{Flanderization}}: While he was always somewhat clumsy and quirky, he gradually turned into an out-and-out goofball, culminating with his ''Real Bout 2'' [[LimitBreak P.Power attack]]: he hits the ground with his nunchaku, causing an explosion which leaves his clothes singed and him with a dumbfounded expression.
* FriendlyRival: He and Cheng are on good terms for having a mutual respect in each other's fighting styles.
* GroinAttack: Unusually and hilariously enough, it is not directed towards his opponent, but rather towards ''himself''. Should you use his [[SpamAttack Honoo no Taneba]] and neglect to keep pressing the A button, Hon-Fu will accidentally ''hit himself in the crotch, then jump up and down in pain while covering it with his hands''. As a Real Bout Special FAQ put it, "Stop pressing to hit dick."
%%* TheKlutz
* PlayingWithFire: He can set fire to his chucks for a burning attack.
* PutOnABus: Hasn't been a playable fighter since ''Real Bout Special''.
* JusticeWillPrevail: He's a SuperCop. Besides helping to introduce Kim to his wife Myeng Swuk, the two are good friends due to their shared interest in upholding justice. Oddly enough, Hon Fu isn't ''nearly'' as justice-obsessed as Kim is. And Kim isn't a police officer.
* TheWorfEffect: When Terry, Andy or Joe faces Yamazaki for the second time in ''Fatal Fury 3'', he has already curb-stomped Hon-Fu.

A monk of a Buddhist order that has a steep rivalry with the Shiranui clan (the clan Mai belongs to and that Andy trained under). Wields a staff that he can magically control. He had arrived in Southtown to destroy the Jin scrolls, which he perceives as a great evil.

* AntiHero: He's out to keep the Jin Scrolls from falling into the wrong hands, but is also a pretty big {{Jerkass}} who's not above killing to achieve that goal.
-->(Vs. Franco) "Okay, Bash, just hand over the secret scrolls, and I'll promise to kill you quickly!"
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: His win quotes are quite disparaging towards his opponents.
-->"Geez. What a loser!"
* BaldOfAwesome: He has no hair under that hat of his. Not that it stops him from being a supernatural warrior.
* TheFaceless: Subverted. His face can be seen sometimes, but it's hidden by his kasa most of the time.
* PlayingWithFire: Like Mai, he can envelop himself in fire.

An unhinged, murderous Yakuza, hired by the Jin brothers to look for the Jin Scrolls while serving as their bodyguard. Fighting with a self-taught version of Okinawan karate, he also carries a large knife and won't hesitate to use it. [[AlternateContinuity ''The King of Fighters '97'']] reveals that he possesses the blood of the {{Orochi}}, which explains a ''lot''.

* AHandfulForAnEye: One of his moves involves him kicking sand/dirt into his opponent's face.
* AnimalMotifs: The snake, as seen during his Sadomaso tongue-flicking taunt.
* {{Archenemy}}: To Hon Fu who's been trying to bring him in for years.
* AxCrazy: This man is as sadistic and erratic as they come. Most of his win quotes are loaded with death threats.
* BloodyMurder: After a fashion. His secret 5th level of his [[ThisIsADrill Drill]] super has Yamazaki throwing multiple Double Return projectiles, which makes it look like he is spraying his opponents with his blood.
* BreakoutVillain: He's been playable in multiple ''KOF'' games, the latest being XIV after lengthy absence. He's also a playable fighter in the ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom''.
* TheBusCameBack: He finally makes his return as a DLC character in KOF XIV.
* CatchAndReturn: One of his specials consists of grabbing energy projectile attacks and then nonchalantly flinging them back at the opponent at breakneck speed.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[TheReveal His status as one of the Orochi Hakkesshu]] didn't come into perspective until his {{Crossover}} into ''KOF'' and is a partial explanation for his insanity.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In the King Of Fighters games. He hasn't appeared since KOF 2003, and no real explanation has been given as to where or why he's gone. He does return in KOF XIV, however.
* CoatCape: His pre-battle intro has him standing in front of his opponent with a fine fur coat draped over his shoulders. He then walks away from his opponent and [[FlungClothing discards it]] as he takes his position for the start of the match.
* CombatPragmatist: He [[AHandfulForAnEye kicks sand in his opponents' eyes]] and [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown stomps]] [[GroinAttack on their crotches]]... repeatedly. If that doesn't do it, he'll bring out his foot-long knife. His Guillotine super also involves him ''dragging his opponent across the ground.'' (and in some cases, he ends it by repeatedly stomping and kicking them)
* CombatSadomasochist: One of his moves is even ''named'' Sadomaso. He taunts by sticking out his tongue, and if he is hit, he takes no damage but instead counters with a vicious attack of his own.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a street orphan who lived in a part of Okinawa occupied by American soldiers. He eventually worked his way up to be the bodyguard of the mobster Sorimachi. [[AudioAdaptation His drama CD]] reveals that Yamazaki lived a happy life as a mobster until his boss was killed, prompting Yamazaki to snap and become the psycho we know, love, and fear.
* TheDragon: His boss is Jin Chonshu, the FinalBoss of ''Fatal Fury 3''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Turns down Yashiro's offer to join the Hakkeshu. Besides, if Orochi destroys everything, there'd be nobody for Yamazaki to fight against.
* ExtendableArms: Ryuji can stretch his arms.

* {{Flanderization}}: His ''Fatal Fury'' self started out as a ruthless and sadistic but mostly sane mobster. In the more cartoonish ''RBS'', his malicious chuckle made way for a [[EvilLaugh maniacal laugh]] and he gained an unsettling "Ikuzo... Ikuzo... IKUZO!" chant while charging his Snake Arms. His ''KOF'' incarnation was based on this version, and would gradually (d)evolve into a slavering lunatic whose [=MAX2=] sees him grabbing and tossing opponents using '''his mouth'''. YMMV on what version is the most appealing.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was once just an impoverished orphan living on the streets. He then grew up to become a dangerous and feared criminal with dealings all over Asia.
* FurAndLoathing: Just look at that [[BadassLongcoat pimp coat]].
%%* {{Hunk}}
* TheInsomniac: He apparently has no problem staying awake for up to three days at a time.
* KnifeNut: He always carries a switchblade in his pocket that he'll occasionally use for to attack.
* Maniacal Laugh: With excessive drooling/foaming at the mouth.
* MulticoloredHair: A large portion of his hair is dyed blonde.
* ParentalSubstitute: His boss, Sorimachi, became this to him. But it all ended tragically when the latter was killed by a rival, driving Yamazaki past breaking point.
* PlayedForLaughs: His Snake Arm move is seen as a high-speed bitch slap.
* PsychoForHire: Ryuji is a sadistic hitman who enjoys two things: money and killing.
* RubberMan: Somehow he's able to elongate his arms to attack from a distance.
* StrongButUnskilled: He's apparently had no formal martial arts training, having instead been self-taught since childhood. He more than makes up for it though with his monstrous strength and capacity for violence.
* WhipItGood: His trademark Snake Arm attack, which might as well be a variation of the Flicker Jab.
* WithMyHandsTied: Always keeps one hand his pockets... unless he's stabbing you to death with his knife. If he ever takes his other hand out of his pocket, either A) he's about to stab you to death, B) he's about to CatchAndReturn one of your projectiles, C) you're on the ground and [[OhCrap you're about to suffer through the worst version of his Drill super]], or D) he's out cold. Aside from that last scenario, you can guarantee that you ''don't'' want him to take his hand out of his pocket.
* {{Yakuza}} He's been involved in all sorts of illicit trades like weapons and drugs. He himself has killed his fair share of rivals as well.

->'''Fighting Style:''' Teiou Ken

One half of the Jin brothers who had hired Yamazaki in order to search for the Jin scrolls, a powerful tome that is part of their ancestry. Said to be very stubborn and headstrong, with an inability to understand defeat.

* AffablyEvil: In ''Fatal Fury 3'' and ''Real Bout''. He drops the act starting in ''Special''.
* BigBad: of Fatal Fury 3. This is also one of the two members of a BigBadEnsemble in Real Bout Fatal Fury with the other competing Big Bad being Geese Howard.
** Chinese/pinyin: Qin Chongxiu (Chee-n Choh-ng-she-oh).
** Japanese/on'yomi: Shin Suushuu (also a case of SpellMyNameWithAnS via the final part of his name having an extended vowel via the spelling "Chonshuu").
* BlueOni: In stark defiance to his choice of color, Chonshu is the calmer, more easy going of the pair, at least outwardly.
* TheBusCameBack: He's a playable fighter in ''VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum''.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He and his brother were orphaned as children and had to fend for themselves for a long time. Then they were both beaten to near-death and left to rot in the streets. This caused the spirits of their ancestors to possess their bodies and seek out immortality.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The pair get more and more different properties and moves as time goes on.
* TheDreaded: It's implied during his ending in ''Fatal Fury 3'' and ''Neo Geo Battle Colosseum'', that if the Jin Twins were to ever [[PowersViaPossession reawaken as their "true selves"]], that Chonshu would actually be the worst of the two.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: ...and sounds like one too. To this day, there are gamers who still believe that Chonshu is really a girl. The fact that he wears eyeliner, while some of his official art also shows him with lipstick, further confuses the issue.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:All of the evil things he and his brother did were because of the spirits possessing their bodies. After being freed, they destroy the Qin scrolls to make sure nobody else seeks them out and decide to go under Tung's wing.]]
* {{Guyliner}}: In red, from his upper eyelashes, to the corners of his eyes.
* FinalBoss: Of ''Fatal Fury 3'', unless you've met the necessary criteria to face [[TrueFinalBoss Chonrei.]]
* HarmfulToMinors: His backstory where he was beaten and left for dead as a young child.
* ImmortalitySeeker: This is one of the reasons he is looking for the Jin scrolls.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Their names are written in Japanese in a more broken-form of Chinese, though the real ways to say his name are as follows:
* PowerFloats: Seen during his victory pose, where he levitates and snickers at his opponent.
* PowersViaPossession: His power comes from his ancestor's spirit possessing him. He is seeking the Jin scrolls to unlock his and his brother's possessing spirits for more power.
* SealedInAPersonShapedCan: So long as the Jin Scrolls remain sealed, that is...
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Chonrei's Manly Man.
* ShotoClone: Both he and and brother, though they lack an equivalent of a HurricaneKick.
* TeensAreShort: In every game he appears, he has a sprite that is at least a head shorter than most of the cast. Canonically, he is 169 cm tall in his debut, 170 cm in later games, at age 14 and 16 respectively, which makes him shorter than much of the cast but not by ''that'' much.
* TeleportSpam: His forward and backdash animations causes him to teleport, as do several of his special attacks.
* ThisCannotBe: This is what he says when you defeat him. (i.e. "Ba-BAKANA!")
* TruthInTelevision: Although the Qin Dynasty was significant as the first unifying empire of Chinese history, records tell of how brutally totalitarian and ruthless the Qins were during their rule. Qin Wang Long was the general of Qin Shi Huang, and was a merciless warrior said to have slain a thousand soldiers singlehandedly in combat. Qin Kong Long is Qin Wang Long's eldest son, and was one of the writers of the founding scroll of the Hakkyokuseiken School and the secrets to immortality, until his untimely death. With Qing Wang Long's sons desiring to return to life, they also seek to wrap up the unfinished business of immortalizing themselves and reviving the Qin Dynasty through global domination.

* UnflinchingWalk: If you simply hold forward, he casually (albeit, still menacingly) stalks up to his opponent.

Chonshu's brother and the ultimate opponent of ''Fatal Fury 3''. Protector of his brother to a near-fanatical degree. Following ''Fatal Fury 3'', supposedly both brothers mellow out and enter Tung Fu Rue's tutelage.

* AnimeHair: And it's [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]] with [[SkunkStripe yellow streaks]]!
* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Villain in Name Only]].
* BabyOfTheBunch: He's the yongest fighter in ''3'' at 14, being the technical younger twin to his brother.
* BerserkButton: He gets pissed seeing his brother beaten by the player character, and decides to finish you off in an act of vengeance.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Doubles as a BerserkButton and crosses into KnightTemplarBigBrother territory; the guy ''will'' snap if you defeat Chonshu, but not before calling you "[[{{Narm}} mousse-head]]."
* BigWhat: This is what he says when you defeat him. (i.e. "Na-NANDATO!?")
** Chinese/pinyin: Qin Chonglei (Chee-n Choh-ng-lay).
** Japanese/on'yomi: Shin Suurai (though in his used name he unlike his brother Chonshu averts the usual SpellMyNameWithAnS cases of romaji).
* BringIt: his taunt, along with very audibly [[CrackingUp cracking his neck.]]
* TheBusCameBack: He's a playable fighter in ''VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum''.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He and his brother were orphaned as children and had to fend for themselves for a long time. Then they were both beaten to near-death and left to rot in the streets. This caused the spirits of their ancestors to possess their bodies and seek out immortality.
* DemonicPossession: His power comes from his ancestor's spirit possessing him. [[spoiler: He wants to get rid of these spirits unlike his brother.]]
* {{Expy}}: Looks like a kid [[Franchise/DragonBall Vegeta]]. Sometimes he even has the attitude too.
* [[spoiler:GoodAllAlong: He tears up the Jin Scrolls in his and his brother's endings, ruining the plans of their ancestors that are possessing them to start conquering again.]]
* HarmfulToMinors: His backstory where he was beaten and left for dead as a young child.
* HotBlooded: So much so that in his idle stance, his fingers twitch impatiently and he barely seems able to stand still.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Their names are written in Japanese in a more broken-form of Chinese, though the real ways to say his name are as follows:
* RedOni: Again, in defiance of his color scheme. He's the raging, hot blooded, explosive red to Chonshu's subdued blue.
* ScreamingWarrior: While this also applies to his brother, Chonrei's case has him display a more deep-tone from Kappei Yamaguchi's voice acting.
* SealedInAPersonShapedCan: As long as the Jin Scrolls remained sealed.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Chonshu's Sensitive Guy.
* ShotoClone: Same as Chonshu, though he's more focused on single-hit moves than gimmicks.
* TeensAreShort: Same thing as his brother.
* TrueFinalBoss: In ''Fatal Fury 3'', provided the player wins every fight without continuing, or any rounds lost, and defeats Chonshu with an AA rank or higher.
* TruthInTelevision: Although the Qin Dynasty was significant as the first unifying empire of Chinese history, records tell of how brutally totalitarian and ruthless the Qins were during their rule. Qin Wang Long was the general of Qin Shi Huang, and was a merciless warrior said to have slain a thousand soldiers singlehandedly in combat. Qin Kong Long is Qin Wang Long's eldest son, and was one of the writers of the founding scroll of the Hakkyokuseiken School and the secrets to immortality, until his untimely death. With Qing Wang Long's sons desiring to return to life, they also seek to wrap up the unfinished business of immortalizing themselves and reviving the Qin Dynasty through global domination.
* TwinTelepathy
* UnflinchingWalk: Same as his brother.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Despite him being so close to Chonshu, he's not as keen on eternal life as his bro. [[spoiler:He even tears up the Scrolls of Jin in both his and Chonshu's endings in ''Real Bout'', both to stop anyone else from trying to dabble on its secrets like Geese did, and to give himself and his brother a normal life under Master Tung's wing.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo[=/=]MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Although he was created to be the protagonist of ''Dominated Mind'', Alfred's first appearance was in ''Real Bout 2'', a game released ''months'' before his proper debut. Since ''Dominated Mind'' was never released outside Japan, most people overseas know him for being a bonus boss in ''Real Bout 2''.

He is the father of Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard, and once a disciple of Tung Fu Rue. His age is not known, but he was older than his former companion Geese Howard before his death... at the hands of said former companion, who was DrivenByEnvy since he got passed up as the successor of the secret Hakkyokuseiken techniques to favor Jeff. This happened in front of Jeff's sons, who swear to get even with Geese, and this pretty much gets the ball of ''the whole Fatal Fury plot'' rolling...

Flash forward to ten years, and we see her as the "Queen of South Town," a beautiful FemmeFatale who is a part of Geese's entourage. Deep down, though, still feels guilty for the part she took in the aforementioned tragedy.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Part of the reason that she and Terry fall in love is because of the fact that they both can relate to the harshness and trials of growing up in Southtown.

* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: When Kim is being trounced by [[spoiler:Cyber Cheng]], Joe gets pissed off and decides to help; however, Terry asks Joe to not intervene because doing so would crush the faith of Myeng Swuk and (most importantly) Kim's sons. Cue to a shot of Myeng Swuk staring at her husband's fight and holding her scared kids comfortingly, completely focused on staying calm and on trusting Kim no matter what.
