History Anime / StreetFighterIIV

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Rinko, Ryu's female friend in Japan, is erroneously referred to as "Linko" a few times in the Animaze dub.

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: Instead of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFEQvJ3lBNg original Japanese]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsIuzxjDDUQ openings]], the Animaze/Manga dub of ''Street Fighter II V'' used an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YvspShqS_0 entirely different opening]] with an original theme song. The Japanese openings were kept in the ADV dub. In Italy, the series is famous for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YvspShqS_0 localized opening]] used.

** Guile is able to defeat Ryu, and then despite being weakened, defeats Ken the next day.

* BareYourMidriff: During the "Hong Kong arc", Chun-Li wears a short blouse, exposing her belly button. The same goes for Cammy's standard outfit.

* AgeLift: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Fei Long, and Vega are all in their teens, despite their game counterparts being in their 20s.[[note]]The year of births for the first three characters were changed from '64, '65 and '68, respectively, to '77, '78' and '80.[[/note]] Other characters like Guile[[note]]Birthdate changed from '60 to '73[[/note]] and Sagat[[note]]From '55 to '69[[/note]] are also noticeably younger while Cammy, on the other hand, was made older.

* LickingTheBlade: Vega, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WggDKa7bBWc as usual]]

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Vega is a Champion bullfighter in Spain who the crowd loves his performances, he's also a psychopath who lusts after Chun Li and nearly kills Ken.

** Cammy, who is not only older in this series, but is also an extremely competent and dignified assassin who bares a stern and cold personality. She's literally the only character in the series to come close to [[spoiler:killing Dorai]] The ADV dub takes this a step further, as [[spoiler:[[GenreSavvy she knew from the start that Balrog had planned to kill her]]]].

Not to be confused with ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', the fifth numbered installment in the fighting game series.

* KnightOfCerebus: Vega's introduction and battle with Ken marks a tonal shift in the series, which was comparatively lighthearted and episodic up to that point. Vega's battle with Ken is one of the most brutal in the series, if not the entire franchise, and their battle marks the first appearance of Bison. The series quickly becomes even darker from that point on. It also develops a MythArc that lasts until the finale.

* TeenGenius: Fei Long and Chun-Li: he's in his way to action movie stardom and age 17, she's a talented ActionGirl who's already attending a university at 15. Ryu and Ken themselves count too as both are 17.

* {{Tsundere}}: Rinko acts this way in her only appearance. She's shown to have feelings for Ryu but is more frustrated when he does nothing but think about food. She also shows great concern for him, fearing that he'll never return to Japan again once Ken invites him to California.
* UnclePennybags: Ken frequently uses his family's "over five billion-dollar"[[note]]in 1995 USD value[[/note]] fortune to get by during the series; usually to get whatever he wants in a instant from manipulating his and Ryu's way into a bar just so they can hold Ryu's "[[BarBrawl welcoming party]]" with some other guests, and paying a random guy what seems to be thousands of dollars in cash just to let him hijack the dude's motorcycle and catch up with Donu and Zochi in a moving limousine. However, he's not cheap and will go out of his way to support his friends and genuinely good people when they need it. He hooks him and Ryu up with a 5-star penthouse suite and buys their friend Chun-Li clothes and jewelry as a gift/payment for her serving as their tour guide and equally putting her in danger the previous night. Most shockingly of all, he single-handedly arranges for a massive donation and Red Cross assistance to a remote Indian charity hospital.

* InconsistentColoring: Vega is depicted as a DarkSkinnedBlonde in his debut episode, but afterward his skin is a lighter tone while his hair is darker.

* ShesGotLegs: During the final arc, Chun-Li wears a skimpier version of her traditional outfit, without the tights.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: After physical attacks seem to [[NoSell do absolutely no damage to Bison]], Chun-Li manages to stab him in the gut with a broken metal pole. It ''does'' injure him and he goes completely beserk on her.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: After physical attacks seem to [[NoSell do absolutely no damage to Bison]], Chun-Li manages to stab him in the gut with a broken metal pole. It ''does'' injure him [[BerserkButton and royally pisses him off]].

* HeroicBSOD: Fei Long suffers one when [[spoiler:he learns that his mentor Dorai almost died]]. He ends up [[CryCute breaking down in tears]]. [[spoiler:He recovers in time to fight the person who almost did Dorai in, Cammy, and makes her have a HeelFaceTurn.]]

** Guile is able to defeat Ryu, and then Ken the next day.

* AdaptedOut: E. Honda, Blanka, T. Hawk, and Dee Jay.

* BigEater: As even Rinko points out, Ryu has a bottomless gut and will swiftly scarf down most foods he's given, further cementing his shonen personality shift in this series.

* ArousedbyTheirVoice: After getting of the phone with their new tour guide Chun-Li, Ken immediately assumes that she's a total babe while Ryu claims that there's no way of telling from her voice. This leads Ryu betting of 100 finger push-ups for whoever's wrong, and it's pretty obvious that he had to eat his own words.

* AdultFear: Despite letting Ken travel the world with Ryu, Ken's father gets a rude awakening once [[spoiler:Bison holds him for ransom, demanding one billion dollars to see him alive.]]

* RiddleForTheAges: [[spoiler:The exact nature of the eagle-headed idol from which Bison draws his psycho power is never explained, as the series got cancelled shortly after its reveal.]]

* NeckSnap: Guile and a brainwashed Chun-Li do this to a couple of Bison's guards in "Nightmare Reunion".
