When Wong activates Chun-Li's Hoyoku Sen Super Art, Umehara proceeds to ''parry every single hit of the super'' and counters with his own combo, turning the tables against Wong and winning the match.

However, it was later discovered that his original costume WAS in the game, but not able to be selected normally. Capcom then later showed a picture of him doing an alternate intro involving him burning away his clothes, and upon his release players searched high and low for some way to do this.

* #[=BlankaChan=] [[note]]Within a very short amount of time, Blanka's story costume, which is him dressed in a mascot costume of the plush toys made in his likeness during his Story Mode, immediately became popular with the fanbase. Capcom then decided to [[MemeAcknowledgment acknowledge]] it, [[https://twitter.com/uvllv/status/964263867948834817/photo/1 leading]] [[https://twitter.com/PugilistPenguin/status/964244464184299523/photo/1 to]] [[https://twitter.com/PeteFighter/status/964285747405709312/photo/1 these]] [[https://twitter.com/BigDavidMullins/status/964230869337759746/photo/1 pictures]].[[/note]]

* ''Street Fighter V'' has a better Capcom roster than ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite''.[[note]]While ''Infinite'' was heavily criticized for a very unimaginative roster that mostly consisted of returning characters from [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 the last game]], the crossover costumes in ''Street Fighter V'' were praised for doing a better job of representing characters and games from across Capcom's history. These included Nero's outfit from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'', as well as franchises that were entirely absent from ''Infinite'' like ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'', ''VideoGame/RedEarth'', ''VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'', ''VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}}'' and even ''VideoGame/HauntingGround''![[/note]]
* [[AttractiveBentGender Beth]] [[note]]A FanNickname for Seth's new design, which involves him inhabiting a brand-new, female body that looks like Juri. Jokes quickly ensued.[[/note]]
* Abigail the Car Whisperer [[note]]Abigail's V-Skill 2 in ''Champion Edition'' involves him summoning a giant tire that rolls in from the edge of the screen, which he can manipulate to hit the opponent from odd angles. This, along with his animation being a beckoning gesture that looks like he's calling an animal to come to him, led him to being called a car whisperer.[[/note]]
* The VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} buff[=/=]Chug Jug Ryu [[note]]Not long after Ryu was announced as a skin for ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', the patch notes for Season V dropped, showing that Ryu had finally, after 3 whole seasons of being considered one of the worst characters in the game, gotten a significant amount of meaningful buffs that almost completely reworked his gameplay. Jokes quickly began circulating that the buffs were because of him crossing over into that game.[[/note]]
** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EutWPpwXcAUIvmo?format=jpg&name=large Smiling Ryu]] [[note]]Longtime fighting game artist Shinkiro drew a special loading screen for ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' (also featured in ''SFV'' with ads turned on), which depicted Ryu giving a big cheesy grin. The picture quickly went viral and spawned even more memes, and has been used in conjunction with Ryu getting buffed in Season V. [[/note]]

!'''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'''
* Wide Ryu/[[Franchise/ResidentEvil Ryu Redfield]]/[[Memes/TheLastJedi Ben Swolo]][[note]]The first teaser trailer for ''Street Fighter 6'' gives us a glimpse of Ryu's new design within the game's new engine; speculated to be the RE Engine, given the far more realistic albeit still stylized approach in art style. Ryu's chest is ''massive'', covering almost the entire screen. Fans later instantly noted a resemblance to Chris Redfield, particularly his ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' incarnation to the point [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2315094-wide-ryu where a new format of]] [[Memes/ResidentEvil Chrisposting]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWg9UrBrwCo was created]] where they jokingly claim that Chris had to disguise as Ryu to convince Ken to continue the bloodline after Leon and Ethan refused to seal the deal. Comparisons to Ben Swolo memes from ''Film/TheLastJedi'' have also been made.[[/note]]
** Ryu's "[[ICallHimMisterHappy Sheng Long]]"[[note]]The first teaser trailer also had a low shot of Ryu and his opponent with what seemed to be a realistic take on his crotch leading to even more jokes.[[/note]]
* Logo memes [[note]]The initial logo for the game has received a wide range of reactions, with people comparing it to [[https://twitter.com/Pooru_Boy/status/1495645752919527426 a Discord server icon with 6 notifications]] among other things.[[/note]]
* Capcom sent Hook [[note]]Some have noted that Luke's new design resembles AEW wrestler Hook, who is a MAJOR MemeticBadass among wrestling fans.[[/note]]
* Hobo Ken/Meth Ken/Sad Ken [[note]]Leaked images of Ken have shown that he is sporting a much more disheveled appearance with a grungie hoodie and worn out hair that shows his natural brunnette roots. Immediately, many have compared him to a homeless person or a meth addict.[[/note]]
** Ken invested in crypto and lost everything./"My apes..." [[note]]An alternate explanation of Ken being the way he is now is also joked to be because Ken spent the Masters’ family wealth on crypto currency and/or [=NFTs=], specifically Bored Apes, just before the crypto crash, costing him his wealth.[[/note]]
** "She took the fucking kids, Ryu." [[note]]Another explanation based on some potential story leaks involving Ken and Eliza having gone through a divorce, essentially taking Mel (his son) with her and the Masters fortune and leaving him behind.[[/note]]
** "I used to wake up DP, now I don't even want to wake up anymore."[[note]]Said for comedic effect by Maximillian Dood in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flwTXPvI0hA take on the leaks, Ken primarily]]. As a perfect fighting game injoke, it has ciruclated a bit online.[[/note]]

In addition, they stated that violence, harassment, and other forms of "thuggery" would be treated with zero tolerance. Backlash ensued and Capcom eventually revised the rulings, but the internet also ensured that they will NeverLiveItDown by using the term to describe anything done on stream that would be considered uncivilized or unsportsmanlike.
