** Thanks to Creator/TomokazuSugita, Creator/YuuichiNakamura and Creator/HirokiYasumoto from the Riot Summer Again, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRkt4qCHIkY "hottopantsu."]] "SEXY!" addendum optional. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bullet's character design features [[WhoWearsShortShorts jean shorts]] that accentuate her legs, hips, and rear. Jokes were quick to follow, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PGjnvFF1PQ and even Ragna trolls Bullet over her choice in clothing when they meet in-game.]][[/lablenote]]

* (◇)人(∵) [[labelnote:Explanation]]As Hakumen and Arakune are both products of The Boundry, many fans depict them as friends. This ASCII art depicts them high-fiving, as shown [[http://hijiribe.donmai.us/data/sample/sample-2abf4944194b1ae01c198d8465323467.jpg here.]][[/labelnote]]

*** --> I am Jin "Hakumen" Kisaragi!
--> A[[spoiler:n]]d I [[spoiler:a]]m L[[spoiler:ot]]t[[spoiler:e]] "A[[spoiler:r]]a[[spoiler:ku]]ne" [[spoiler:Car]]min[[spoiler:e]]!
--> And together we are..... BOUNDARY BUDDIES (cue air guitar, then brofist/high five)

* '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEG2zox-44M&t=58s THUH NAYUM EZ HAW KOO MAYUN]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from a remixed version of Hakumen's theme song, "SUSANOOH," with [[SoBadItsGood really bad and incredibly cheesy English lyrics]] layered on top of it.[[/labelnote]]
* "Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe. I have yet to meet man who can outsmart Bullet." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A pun on a quote from [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Meet the Heavy]] regarding newcomer Bullet.[[/labelnote]]

* A wild Azrael appeared! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Azrael's theme is reminiscent of a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' battle theme. [[AscendedMeme This is spoofed on Bururaji Hyper]].[[/labelnote]]
* [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 I don't need anyone else... I have... PATRIOT APOCALYPSE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Creator/DCDouglas, the English voice of Albert Wesker, will also be the English voice of Azrael. As to be expected, these jokes are beginning to pop up. [[/labelnote]]
** '''KURO KISHI!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Azrael's hammy way of saying Kagura's niickname has drawn some parallels with "CHRIIIIIIIS!" [[/labelnote]]
* [[FullFrontalAssault BODY THE]] [[JustForFun/XMeetsY X]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] One of Azrael's attacks is him slamming his whole body into someone, which, with his hard-hitting attacks, leads to an crazy combo potential. As such: [[/labelnote]]
** Body the [[ACupAngst Loli]]/Reaper/Kitty/Robot/[[MirrorMatch Imposter]]/Witch/ and as of Saya's entrence: [[spoiler:BODY THE DEATH LOLI!]]
* '''LIKE A BOOOOOOOOOOSS, ON YOUR BUUUUUUUUUUTT...''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Childish killer, the new theme of Jin vs. Tsubaki in Extend, is laden with Engrish. As such, fans love to make Mondegreens of it.[[/labelnote]]
* ADVANCING ON YOUR POSITION[[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/FUNimation's translation of Alter Memory is notable for not using the game localization at all. This is a literal translation of the end of Hakumen's White Void speech, replacing "THE END HAS COME".[[/labelnote]]
* [[http://i.imgur.com/aCxtnq6.gif Ice Brick]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Dustloop and Website/GameFAQs have been having a field day with the [[OffModel QUALITY]] animation in the new ''Anime/{{BlazBlue|Alter Memory}}'' anime. The picture linked depicts the anime's version of Jin's Ice Sword special move.[[/labelnote]]
** The animation budget was spent on [[http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1336/3f92.gif Noel]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Noel summoning Bolverk in Episode 2 has surprisingly better animation than much of the rest of the show. It probably doesn't help her reputation as a CreatorsPet.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-yR6-BweMg Sailor Noel]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The same scene, set to fitting music.[[/labelnote]]
** [[http://i.imgur.com/CcufSBT.png Terumi's]] [[http://i44.tinypic.com/ng99tu.jpg troll]] [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/767c8f40954bc6725b3a4128934e5d75/tumblr_mv31csfduy1spivfbo1_250.png faces]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Terumi's facial expressions in the anime are hilariously over-the-top, almost as if they decided to run with his QUALITY expressions from the Continuum Shift cutscenes.[[/labelnote]]

*** For added hilarity, say it in the REAL SOVIET DAMAGE! voice, [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare2 and pretend he's in Spetznaz]]
** Platinum's [[http://i.pixs.ru/storage/4/9/8/platinum41_1676037_9643498.gif facedesk]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Platinum falls asleep when switching personalities.[[/labelnote]]

** Arakune: Nerfed in story, nerfed in game, and now [[http://i.imgur.com/r52aKKA.gif nerfed in the anime]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Arakune's appearance in Episode 8 has him doing his 2C animation up a flight of stairs, in hilariously QUALITY fashion.[[/labelnote]]
* Azrael the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDzjl6VC6tE LOVE PHANTOM]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Azrael has a very stylish glitch combo, reminiscent of his original "[[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar basketball infinite]]" from the arcade version before it was patched out. Someone on Nico Nico Douga decided to set it to the song LOVE PHANTOM by B'z, and the rest is history.[[/labelnote]]
* '''UNIT COOKIE DOUGH''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A {{Mondegreen}} of Hakumen's Japanese Overdrive quote, used as a term to denote his Overdrive and how absurdly powerful it is. Even after it was nerfed in Extend, it is still one of the best Overdrives in the entire game just for the absolutely ridiculous damage potential alone.[[/labelnote]]
* You thought it was (insert highly-requested character)...[[spoiler: BUT IT WAS I, IZANAMI!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Izanami's Distortion Drives is a [[TimeStandsStill Time Stop.]] So naturally, the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure DIO]] jokes came in full force.[[/labelnote]]

* Comparing Izanami to Sans. [[labelnote:Explanation]] With the reveal of Izanami's Astral Heat, people immediately noticed how the skulls looks similar to Sans' Gaster Blasters in his fight. Cue the Undertale jokes, and how Izanami is gonna dunk everyone.[[/labelnote]]
* MUST DIE [[labelnote:Explanation]] The theme of [[spoiler: Susanoo]], which quickly reached meme status within the fandom thanks to how ridiculously hammy and edgy the song is. It's gotten to the point where the crowd goes nuts whenever it gets picked in Top 8 at tournaments.[[/labelnote]]

* [=#WhensKokonoe=] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Kokonoe was the most highly-requested character to be added as DLC prior to her eventual inclusion in ''Chronophantasma'', for both eastern and western fanbases.[[/labelnote]]
** [=#WhensJubei=] [[labelnote:Explanation]] After Kokonoe eventually got added, the logical next step was to get Jubei added, as he is the 2nd most highly-requested character, though mostly in the west. After [[{{Pun}} NINE]] years of waiting, Jubei was finally announced at EVO 2017.[[/labelnote]]

* Ribcage isn't THAT strong. [[note]]Saya's ribcage move allows her to NoSell strike attacks and is a significant part of why she's top tier. Some people use this in an attempt to defend themselves when called out, despite everyone knowing it's exactly that strong.[[/note]]
* Just wait for CF[[UpdatedRerelease EXTEND]]. [[note]]The timing of the releases between the Japanese and the West for the console version have been more than unfortunate. There have been reports by players who ''just bought'' CPEX in West only for CF to be announced in Japan some time later. Going back even further in the [[FranchiseOriginalSin franchise that started this trend]] was the CapcomSequelStagnation for CS (CS->[=CS2=]->CSEX) and the fact the CP wasn't even supposed to get an EXTEND version at first according to WordOfGod ticked off many fans who felt that they are being scammed into buying multiple copies of the same installment. So when CF was first announced for consoles, many fans said in the comments section in Youtube to just wait for the EXTEND or a console port to PC, which was often taken as a sign that this is ''definitely'' the last game to be released for that particular installment, leading to Mori's statement that there won't be an EXTEND for CF to be taken with a grain of salt, effectively crippling sales in the debut period. Suffice to say, this might be one of the reasons why Creator/ArcSystemWorks decided NoDubForYou upon console release. Which make you wonder how did franchises [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty that]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighter pull]] [[VideoGame/MarvelvsCapcom off]] [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear this]] practice more often didn't get slammed like this.[[/note]]
* [[ThatOneAttack Ragna's Jesus Kick]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ragna's 5B (Standing B) attack is rather infamous among players for being very fast, having a lot of active frames, and usually leads to a high damaging combo from him. Became an AscendedMeme in ''Continuum Shift'' when Hazama complains about it in his ''Help Me! Prof. Kokonoe'' segment if you lose to Ragna in his story mode.[[/labelnote]]

** Leader Azrael would like to battle! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alternative to the above.[[/labelnote]]
*** You are challenged by Sector Seven Azrael![[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another alternative to the above.[[/labelnote]]

* '''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic BANG]] [[EarWorm BANG]] [[Music/JAMProject BANG]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYKPmkOF-z8 BAAAAANG!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The song that plays during [[BoisterousBruiser Bang]]'s SuperMode. Used as proof of his [[MemeticBadass endless manliness]].[[/labelnote]]

* '''[[GameBreaker BEES]]!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]TierInducedScrappy goodness, this time referencing Arakune's favourite "tactic".[[/labelnote]]

* '''WHEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] ''MUST DIE'', the theme of [[spoiler: Susanoo]], has already reached memetic status with its {{Narm}}-laden {{Engrish}} lyrics which are sung in the style of death metal, enka, and kabuki theater singing.[[/labelnote]]
** ''MUST DIE'' itself is this, due to how silly, yet [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic absolutely awesome]] it is.

* '''[[GameBreaker BEES!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]TierInducedScrappy goodness, this time referencing Arakune's favourite "tactic".[[/labelnote]]
** ... [[Franchise/{{Batman}} My]] [[ComicBook/AmazonsAttack God.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Answer to the above.[[/labelnote]]

* '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn7CvMxNzrY#t=34s DA WEEL OHF FAYT EES TOINING.]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Calamity Trigger''[='s=] announcer is often regarded as the best one because of her, uh, [[GratuitousEnglish unique pronunciation]] of the opening quote.]][[/labelnote]]

** [=#WhensJubei=] [[labelnote:Explanation]] After Kokonoe eventually got added, the logical next step was to get Jubei added, as he is the 2nd most highly-requested character, though mostly in the west. EVO 2017's announcement delivered.[[/labelnote]]

** ''MUST DIE'' itself is this, due to how silly it is.

* Thanks to Dustloop and GameFAQs, there is a picture circling the internet of Rachel confined to a wheelchair looking at a tombstone for George XIII because of her (''Continuum Shift 1'') nerfs. This was followed soon after with pictures of her asking why God hates her, and God turns out to be Terumi, who calls her a dumbass. Needless to say, it's now common knowledge that Rachel is a cripple in her ''[=CS1=]'' state.

* [[http://i.imgur.com/aCxtnq6.gif Ice Brick]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Dustloop and GameFAQs have been having a field day with the [[OffModel QUALITY]] animation in the new ''Anime/{{BlazBlue|Alter Memory}}'' anime. The picture linked depicts the anime's version of Jin's Ice Sword special move.[[/labelnote]]

** People have also taken to calling Relius "Father of the Year" and "World's Greatest Dad". He's anything but.
