History Memes / StreetFighter

* MY LOYAL FANS![[labelnote:Explanation]]Zangief's exclamation on activating his Level 3 Critical Art is often linked with Zangief's great power that defies and being able to withstand anything, including his low tier placement, and will solve all problems. Snake Eyez' victory in Capcom Pro Tour by using Zangief also enhances this image.[[/labelnote]]

*** '''Creator/RayChase is (about to be) a family man!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ray Chase is TheOtherDarrin for Travis Willingham as Guile in ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' and, at the time he confirmed landing the role in 2022, is engaged to fellow voice actress Julia [=McIlvaine=]. If all is swimming well, then it's only a matter of time that Ray Chase becomes another family man just like like Guile and Willingham.[[/labelnote]]

* A.K.I feeding the Avatar [[labelnote:Explanation]]During her teaser trailer, A.K.I tries to force feed the Player Avatar some herbal medicine ([[BlatantLies probably]]) and we cut to a POV shot of her attempting to do that. Naturally, this has lent itself to an easily exploitable template, where the pill can be replaced with anything else. [[/labelnote]]
* Team "[[ICanChangeMyBeloved I can fix her]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A byproduct of A.K.I's and Juri's EvilIsSexy status, many have taken notice to the former's... [[AxCrazy less than stable personality]] that somehow makes ''the latter'' of all characters look sane by comparison.[[/labelnote]]

** Which Capcom gamely acknowledged on their socials soon after with “What’s there to fix?”

* Classic Cammy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reveal that the alternate/classic outfits of the roster would be unlockable and usable in battle was met with wide praise. But special mention ''especially'' goes to Cammy and her highly fanservicey classic outfit, which was met with an ''immense'' amount of pure lust from the community. For bonus points, [[https://twitter.com/StreetFighter/status/1664089562941890561 the official reveal via Twitter]] made it a point to show off Cammy's classic outfit by having her doing -- you guessed it -- the above "Cammy stretch".[[/labelnote]]

** [[CoolOldLady Old Lady]] Chun-Li [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Chun-Li would 54 by the time of ''[=SF6=]'' based on the [[ComicBookTime often ignored]] birthdates from ''SFII'' did not go unnoticed, with fans joking that her old age, combined with [[BoobsOfSteel her huge rack]], [[https://twitter.com/hershuar/status/1629126697852502016 would result in]] [[CrackOhMyBack serious back problems]]. This, combined with her being a LowTierLetdown in tournaments due to her new moveset, resulted in fans jokingly believing that Chun-Li is beginning to [[FeelingTheirAge feel her age]] weighing on her. This is also paired with the "Cammy stretch" meme below (as Cammy is "only" in her late forties and wouldn't hit 50 until the next year in-universe).[[/labelnote]]

*** '''BOOM! DIVORCED'''/'''BOOM! STILL MARRIED''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A [[https://twitter.com/Tubularparu/status/1662829183284699136?t=za6fYSK94RTb8I0V_lK-6w&s=19 series of gifs]] featuring Luke, once again [[https://youtu.be/ys2_D0srbO8?t=29 voiced]] by Creator/AleksLe.[[/labelnote]]
* Juri's ''[=SF6=]'' reveal brought with it any and all memes relating to, well... considering [[KickChick what Juri is known for]], you can probably [[EvilIsSexy figure]] [[{{Dominatrix}} that]] [[MsFanservice out]]. [[labelnote:Hint]]It rhymes with "soot lettish."[[/labelnote]]
** Even Capcom themselves acknowledged this, with the official ''Street Fighter'' Website/{{Twitter}} account simply tweeting out [[https://twitter.com/StreetFighter/status/1562561840596414464 a foot emoji]] in the replies of an image of Juri.
** This continued with the reveal of Manon and Marisa, both also barefoot, leading some to jokingly call the game ''Feet Fighter 6''.
* Thicc Chun-Li [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chun-Li's [[AmazonianBeauty muscular legs]] and [[MaleGaze buttocks]] have always been a part of her appeal, but appreciation for her design skyrocketed after her trailer showed off her ''[=SF6=]'' appearance. Several videos focusing on Chun-Li's figure as depicted by the new graphics engine were made, with comments like "Chun-Li doesn't have a leg day, she has a leg YEAR!" making the rounds.[[/labelnote]]
** [[CoolOldLady Old Lady]] Chun-Li [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Chun-Li would 54 by the time of ''[=SF6=]'' based on the [[ComicBookTime often ignored]] birthdates from ''SFII'' did not go unnoticed, with fans joking that her old age, combined with [[BoobsOfSteel her huge rack]], [[https://twitter.com/hershuar/status/1629126697852502016 would result in]] [[CrackOhMyBack serious back problems]].

* Avatar customization memes [[labelnote:Explanation]]The avatar customization in ''Street Fighter 6'' quickly became notable for being '''extremely thorough'''. Many memes soon followed, as well as comparisons to the similarly memetic Create-A-Soul feature in the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' (''VideoGame/SoulcaliburVI'' in particular).[[/labelnote]]
** Capcom has given us too much power! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The avatar customization in ''[=SF6=]'' has options for the most minute of details, and even has the ability to upload recipes for others to use. The level of detail present also allows players to create characters from other franchises, which players predictably took advantage of.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://twitter.com/alekslevo/status/1662907117932617728 Luke from Streets]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another meme from Luke's voice actor Creator/AleksLe, this time parodying the "Ryu from Streets" video as a final promotion before the launch of ''Street Fighter 6''.[[/labelnote]]

* You took the wrong guy to Memphis! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Misheard when Luke connects with his Level 3 Super Art, from "You picked the wrong guy to mess with!"[[/labelnote]]
** "The match is over, where are we going?" "We're all going to Memphis!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] [[https://twitter.com/AleksLeVO/status/1673845321842196480?s=20 Luke's win quote "Let's go!" was first suggested by Luke's voice actor]] Creator/AleksLe, only to be asked [[LiteralMinded "Where is he going?"]] from the staffs in return.[[/labelnote]]

* Dude, you look ''huge.''[[note]]Oh, ladies. What's good? [[DisproportionateRetribution *gets Drive Impacted*]][[/note]] [[labelnote: Explanation]] [[https://youtu.be/_mhz3lpEIao A fan-made animation]] that parodies [[https://youtube.com/shorts/CFw_c99D6NE?feature=share this meme.]] Yet another instance of Creator/AleksLe participating in any meme relating to ''Street Fighter''. Unlike the original, for many, what makes this one particularly memorable is Luke getting smacked with a Drive Impact at the end, complete with a perfectly cut scream.[[/labelnote]]

* Dude, you look ''huge.''[[note]]Oh, ladies. What's good? [[DisproportionateRetribution *gets Drive Impacted*]][[/note]] [[labelnote: Explanation]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhz3lpEIao A fan-made animation]] that parodies [[https://youtube.com/shorts/CFw_c99D6NE?feature=share this meme.]] Yet another instance of Creator/AleksLe participating in any meme relating to ''Street Fighter''.

** [[CoolOldLady Old Lady]] Chun-Li [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Chun-Li would 54 by the time of ''[=SF6=]'' based on the non-canon birthdates from ''[=SF2=]'' did not go unnoticed, with fans joking that her old age, combined with [[BoobsOfSteel her huge rack]], [[https://twitter.com/hershuar/status/1629126697852502016 would result in]] [[CrackOhMyBack serious back problems]]. This, combined with her being a LowTierLetdown in tournaments due to her new moveset, resulted in fans jokingly believing that Chun-Li is beginning to [[FeelingTheirAge feel her age]] weighing on her. This is also paired with the "Cammy stretch" meme below (as Cammy is "only" in her late forties and wouldn't hit 50 until the next year in-universe).[[/labelnote]]

* “FUCK IT WE PALM!” [[labelnote:Explanation]]A variant of the “fuck it we ball” meme. This phrase is a joke among Jamie users who throw out Swagger Step aka the palm without any thought, despite the move being easily punished by Drive Impact or if it’s poorly spaced on block.[[/labelnote]]
* Dude, you look ''huge.''[[note]] Oh, ladies. What's good? [[DisproportionateRetribution *gets Drive Impacted*]] [[/note]] [[labelnote: Explanation]] A [[https://youtu.be/_mhz3lpEIao fan-made animation]] that parodies [[https://youtube.com/shorts/CFw_c99D6NE?feature=share this meme.]] Yet another instance of Aleks Le participating in any meme relating to ''Street Fighter''. Unlike the original, for many, what makes this one particularly memorable is Luke getting smacked with a Drive Impact at the end, complete with a perfectly cut scream. [[/labelnote]]

* '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJQZ-5I5xX4 "YOU... HURT... MY... JESSICA!!!!"]]''''' and its mishearing '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis "YOU... HURT... MAH... TESTICALS!!!!!"]]''''' in Cody's part. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Cody attacks Belger [[BerserkButton after]] the Mad Gear Gang leader assaults Jessica, Cody's girlfriend. Cody's inexplicable [[SimpletonVoice "country bumpkin" voice]] and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis the way he drags out the syllables in Jessica's name]] led to viewers mishearing it as [[GroinAttack something else]]. From the episode "Final Fight", obviously.[[/labelnote]]

* '''[[MemeticMutation OF]] [[Website/ChannelAwesome COURSE!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bison dramatically turns and delivers this line when Sagat shows surprise at the reveal that Guile faked his death. Popularized as a meme by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic in reference to any villain whose plan is to, you guessed it, {{take over the world}}.[[/labelnote]]

** Eventually became an AscendedMeme... once it was canonically established via the prequel comic that Ken had invested in cryptocurrency.

* Dude, you look ''huge.''[[note]] Oh, ladies. What's good? [[DisproportionateRetrubution *gets Drive Impacted*]] [[/note]] [[labelnote: Explanation]] A [[https://youtu.be/_mhz3lpEIao fan-made animation]] that parodies [[https://youtube.com/shorts/CFw_c99D6NE?feature=share this meme.]] Yet another instance of Aleks Le participating in any meme relating to ''Street Fighter''.

** [[HumorMode "The Greatest Ken (Player) Ever"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geQR8UagOQg A video]] of a ''SSFIV'' match between Ken and Cody, which sees the Ken player (Solid Bones) deliberately troll his opponent by [[StylisticSuck seemingly doing nothing other than Shoryukens the entire match]] (complete with a hard rock rearrangement of Ken's ''SFII'' theme blaring throughout [[TheDayTheMusicLied and stopping when Ken gets hit]])... only to bust out their actual skills the moment the Cody lets down his guard. And then go right back to spamming [=DPs=] the very next round. (The entire setup, as per WordOfGod, was inspired by novriltataki's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-gImf_1YRY "ZangiTroll"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zangitroll series of videos]], which was the same general concept, only with Zangief's neutral jump headbutt.) More commonly known as "The Greatest Ken Player Ever" due to someone stealing the video and uploading it to Website/YouTube under that name, but the original title is fairly well-known and still sees use. ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone 2'' would [[FandomNod reference this]] and the overarching Flowchart Ken meme if Ryu and Ken are [[AssistCharacter paired up with]] [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia]].[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://twitter.com/alekslevo/status/1662907117932617728?s=46&t=DFASiKvoLB_Zu4WD5WKqeA Luke from Streets]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another meme from Luke's voice actor Creator/AleksLe, this time parodying the "Ryu from Streets" video as a final promotion before the launch of ''Street Fighter 6''.[[/labelnote]]

* You took the wrong guy to Memphis![[labelnote:Explanation]]Misheard when Luke connects with his level 3 Super Art, from "You picked the wrong guy to mess with!"[[/labelnote]]

* "Hey there everybody, this is Ryu from Streets."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JM7pPpfIPY parody video]] that riffs on Ryu's BoringButPractical nature by having him express interest in a number of uninteresting things, such as "water with no ice" and SeasonalRot episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. The comedically dull script, the janky animation, and the fact that the voice actor didn't even try to sound like Ryu resulted in the video becoming a popular subject for quotation and parody, with many fans additionally using "Ryu from Streets" as a tongue-in-cheek FanNickname for him. The video ultimately became an AscendedMeme when Creator/AleksLe, Luke's voice actor, recorded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YDXcMe-YiA a parody]] ''of'' the parody in-character as Luke to promote ''Street Fighter 6''.[[/labelnote]]

** [[CoolOldLady Old Lady]] Chun-Li [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Chun-Li would 54 by the time of ''[=SF6=]'' based on the non-canon birthdates from ''[=SF2=]]'' did not go unnoticed, with fans joking that her old age, combined with [[BoobsOfSteel her huge rack]], [[https://twitter.com/hershuar/status/1629126697852502016 would result in]] [[CrackOhMyBack serious back problems]]. This, combined with her being a LowTierLetdown in tournaments due to her new moveset, resulted in fans jokingly believing that Chun-Li is beginning to [[FeelingTheirAge feel her age]] weighing on her. This is also paired with the "Cammy stretch" meme below (as Cammy is "only" in her late forties and wouldn't hit 50 until the next year in-universe).[[/labelnote]]

** [[CoolOldLady Old Lady]] Chun-Li [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Chun-Li would 54 by the time of ''[=SF6=]'' based on the non non-canon birthdates from ''[==SF2=]]'' did not go unnoticed, with fans joking that her old age, combined with [[BoobsOfSteel her huge rack]], [[https://twitter.com/hershuar/status/1629126697852502016 would result in]] [[CrackOhMyBack serious back problems]]. This, combined with her being a LowTierLetdown in tournaments due to regaining her ''SFIII'' moveset, resulted in fans jokingly believing that Chun-Li is beginning to [[FeelingTheirAge feel her age]] weighing on her. This is also paired with the "Cammy stretch" meme below (as Cammy is "only" in her late forties and wouldn't hit 50 until the next year in-universe).[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JM7pPpfIPY "Hey there everybody, this is Ryu from Streets."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video where [[BoringButPractical Ryu]] talks about his boring interests.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YDXcMe-YiA Then came out the Luke Version]] voiced and animated by [[Creator/AleksLe Luke's Voice Actor]] no less!
