* {{Shoryuken}}: From the [[strike:Dragon Punch]] Rising Dragon Fist, to the Tiger Uppercut, and even kick versions with Chun-Li, Cammy, and Fei-Long.

Outside of the main series, a confirmed DLC pack for ''AsurasWrath'' has the [[{{Crossover}} title character going up against Ryu, Akuma, and Evil Ryu]]. [[spoiler: Plus Oni, too.]]

* ''Film/StreetFighter'' (the first movie)

In addition to the aforementioned spin-offs, the series also inspired at least three different {{Animated Adaptation}}s, a little-known live-action Chinese action/comedy adaptation starring PaletteSwap {{Captain Ersatz}}'s of the main characters ''FutureCops'', Japanese manga, plus several toylines (one of which was actually mixed in with ''GIJoe''). An officially sanctioned, fan-made short film is set to be released on May 6, 2010 and [[StreetFighterTheLaterYears a parody]] of ''Street Fighter II''. It also had a [[TabletopGames Tabletop RPG]] that used the White Wolf system, better known for angsty gothic horror.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: 64, excluding the Arika characters introduced in the ''EX'' series, boosting the number to 82 or the ones from the movie games and ''Mouse Generation'', boosting it to a whopping 89 in this case. With so many, it's pretty easy to see why Capcom forgets about them, actually. And that's not even going into the [=NPCs=]. Or those who never appeared in a video game.

* PromotedFanboy: Several former and current professional players are now or have worked behind the scenes with Capcom on their games. Specifically David Sirlin, who worked on ''[[UpdatedRerelease Super Street Fighter II HD Remix]]'' and Seth Killian who now works at Capcom as the "Special Adviser for ''Street Fighter''" among other things. ''HD Remix'' also had a soundtrack done by artists from [[http://ocremix.org/ OverClocked ReMix]] meaning that the entire game's soundtrack was done by {{Promoted Fanboy}}s.

* ''[[{{VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie}} Street Fighter: The Movie]]'' (technically two different games, an arcade version and a console version)

*** The ''[[SNKVsCapcom Capcom vs. SNK]]'' series, is an even ''bigger'' MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, featuring characters from two different companies both known for their 2D fighting games. Although, the original ''Capcom vs. SNK'' and its upgraded rerelease ''Capcom vs. SNK Pro'' merely consisted of ''Street Fighter'' and ''VideoGame/{{The King of Fighters}}'' characters (with Morrigan from ''Darkstalkers'' and Nakoruru from ''SamuraiShodown''), the sequel ''Capcom vs. SNK 2'' contains a greater range of characters from both companies' fighting game catalog. Later on, {{SNK}} made their own title, ''[=~SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos~=]''. Unlike the other titles, the roster choices were a bit more... [[TheUnexpected unorthodox]].

* [=~Let's Fight Like Gentlemen~=]: [[TropeNamer Courtesy of Dudley]].

* [=~You Don't Look Like You~=]: You can make a case for the trope everywhere in the series with the obvious differences between artwork and sprites, but the most evident case of this is in ''IV'', where the in-game models look drastically different than the CGI-models used for artwork and bios. (for example, Rose's [[http://capcomdatabase.wikia.com/wiki/File:SSFIVRose.png render]] has her resemble MonicaBellucci, whereas her ingame model [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VOpwLqXHX0 is more along the line of this]]).

''For the Sonny Chiba martial arts series, see TheStreetFighter.''

Before ''Street Fighter'', most fighting games were side-scrolling [[BeatEmUp beat 'em ups]] in the style of ''KungFuMaster'' or ''DoubleDragon''. Even the relatively few one-on-one fighters that predated the original ''Street Fighter'' had, at most, only a handful of characters (only one or two of them playable), and extremely simplistic controls. ''Street Fighter'' (specifically its first sequel, ''[[SequelDisplacement Street Fighter II: The World Warrior]]'') [[TropeCodifier gave the genre]] depth, popularity, and, most importantly, legitimacy. Even modern fighting games cling tightly to the features and tropes innovated by this series.

'''''Street Fighter''''' is a long running series of [[{{FightingGame}} fighting game]]s by {{Capcom}}, that have [[TropeCodifier basically defined]] the genre.

YourMileageMayVary on who is ultimately bettered or worsened by this (for example, Rose's [[http://capcomdatabase.wikia.com/wiki/File:SSFIVRose.png render]] has her resemble MonicaBellucci, whereas her ingame model [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VOpwLqXHX0 is more along the line of this]]).

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Played straight and subverted at the same time. In a series where [[PintsizedPowerhouse petite]] and [[BadassAdorable deceptively adorable]] [[CuteBruiser women]] use [[MartialArtsDoNotWorkThatWay implausable]] [[SheFu fighting]] [[WaifFu skills]] and many characters [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower possess]] [[SupernaturalMartialArts supernatural]] [[KiAttacks abilities]] [[PsychicPowers able]] [[MindOverMatter to]] [[PressurePoint render]] [[FlashStep physical]] [[RubberMan strength]] [[PlayingWithFire null]] [[ShockAndAwe and]] [[RuleOfCool void]] or [[AppliedPhlebotinum have had their]] ([[ArtificialHuman possibly artificial]]) [[AppliedPhlebotinum bodies]] [[{{Magitek}} fundamentally altered]], characters like [[HuskyRusskie Zangief]] and [[LightningBruiser Alex]] ([[BadassNormal who rely almost completely on strength and deadly technique]]) are able to match them in most cases ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation tier rankings notwithstanding]]). In fact, [[BeyondTheImpossible the increasingly absurd]] HeroicBuild doesn't just benefit the men; some of the ladies [[AmazonianBeauty are visibly ripped]] due to their training. [[MaleGaze Take a look at]] Cammy, Makoto's arms (in ''IV''), Juri (her abs, in particular), and Chun-Li (her ''legs'' in ''any'' game, as well as her arms in the ''Street Fighter Alpha'' series) for example.

Outside of the main series, a confirmed DLC pack for ''AsurasWrath'' has the [[{{Crossover}} title character going up against Ryu, Akuma, and Evil Ryu]]. [[[spoiler: Plus Oni, too.]]

* LargeAndInCharge: Sagat, Zangief and Hugo are the tallest of the Street Fighters, while Edmond Honda and Rufus are the biggest.

* ''Comicbook/StreetFighter'' (American comics)

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: While for the most part the cast of the games have plausible skin tones, the series manages to give us a few exceptions: we have green-skinned Blanka, blood-red Hakan, yellow-toned Oro, Necro and Twelve that are as white as the snow, [[ThatOneBoss Gill]] who's ''half red, half blue'', no less, Dhalsim who also tends to have some unnatural alternate skin colors like grey or orange among the others, Birdie who has a green color, geay M. Bison. Slate-Blue Seth (justified since he's an artificial creation)... and let's not get started about the various {{Palette Swap}}s.

* {{Crossover}}: With ''AsurasWrath'', as stated above.

* WorldOfBuxom: Pretty much every gal in the series has a LOT of... [[UnusualEuphemism stuff]] above [[AmazonianBeauty those pecs]]. Even the [[TokenMiniMoe younger girls are still quite well-endowed.
