** You got... paid? (Unfortunately, Balrog wasn't there to fully cash in on that scene.) [[labelnote:Explanation]]Zangief makes a HeelFaceTurn after discovering that not only was Bison the villain, but his compatriots (most notably Dee Jay) only worked for Bison for the money. Balrog addendum is a reference to his "I GOT PAID!" winquote from the ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNKMillenniumFight2000 Capcom vs. SNK]]'' games.[[/labelnote]]

** Sonic Boom is this both in the games and the cartoon. In the games, it was [[{{Mondegreen}} misheard]] by Brazilians as "ALEX FULL!" In the cartoon, ''[[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer he uses it to solve everything]]''. ''Everything''.

** "Time for the tape."
** "Guess you won't be needing those tapes i made for ya. Want me to get rid of 'em?"

** A comment from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3qus-O2uGA Fresh Prince vs Guile Theme:]] ''Guile's Theme is a metaphor for the collective human consciousness, the timings for its beats and rhythm changes being perfectly or near perfectly set to allow it to fit in with any scene and genre with no need to cut it to fit in. In addition, the emotion of the song itself is of universal appeal, fitting in with any plot, be it tragic, heroic or action packed. Only an omniscient and omnipresent entity could have crafted such a perfect composition... thus Guile's Theme is proof there is a god.''

* '''[[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/ehonda-headsmash-alpha.gif E. Honda's flying headbutt]]'''[[hottip:Explanation:This doesn't need much explanation, though. For instance, it would be parodied in ''VideoGame/{{The King of Fighters}}'' with Hinako Shijou attempting to mimic the move and falling on her face every time.]]

* '''HELLOOOOOO~KEN!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Each and any of these are {{Mondegreen}}s, which by the very nature of that trope... are memetic on their own.

* Dudley is [[FountainOfMemes an endless spring of 'em]], thanks in part to the vocal stylings of Francis Diakowsky (his VA from ''3rd Strike'', [[MyRealDaddy the one most commonly associated with him]]):
** [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen Let's fight... like gentlemen]].
** You have no dignity...
** Gutter trash. (''[[SomethingAboutARose throws rose]]'')
** Down... for the count.
** [[CrossCounter CROSS COUNTER!!!]]
** Don't cross Dudley or you'll get [[ShoutOut DEMPSEY ROLL'D!]] [[hottip:Explanation:The Dempsey Roll from ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' is the inspiration behind Dudley's Rolling Thunder Super Art.]]
** Not even his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOB3j9lmBZI theme]] from ''3rd Strike'' is safe.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSzPbO9DFcg "Jazzy NYC,"]] the theme of Alex from ''III'', has started a movement [[FanNickname for slapping the name]] "Jazzy" on anything with even the slightest hint of jazz in it. As of ''Super Street Fighter IV'', we now have "Jazzy [[GloriousMotherRussia Russia]]" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvwwfX_mKnU Zangief]]), "Jazzy [[FinalFight Metro]]" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE4B6RfA5oU Guy]]), and "Jazzy [[{{UsefulNotes/Japan}} Kyoto]]" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzOckSK5f8U Ibuki]]).

* '''PROFOUND SADNESS!'''[[hottip:Explanation:Guy, when defeated.]]
** '''MUNEN!''' ([[{{Mondegreen}} or as the fans hear it]], '''MUNANG!''') [[hottip:Explanation:Japanese equivalent of the above.]]
** ''Real'' ninjas wear nikes.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Guy wears [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Nikes]] as part of his combat attire. This is a TakeThat to ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', which is made even funnier by the fact that Guy's alternate outfit in ''SSFIV'' [[HighlyVisibleNinja is almost as implausible for a ninja as Naruto's getup]].[[/labelnote]]
** Aside from the nikes things, there has been a surge of YouTube comments turning Guy and the story of ''Final Fight'' into a parody of {{Blaxploitation}} films due to the funky style of his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE4B6RfA5oU theme]] in ''IV''. Its name? ''Bushinryu Jones''.

* There is now a trend on {{YouTube}} videos with each character's (''Super'') ''Street Fighter IV'' theme to declare "X FOR PRESIDENT!"
* Due to the [[InternetBackdraft bemused and downright irked]] reactions to Akuma's Demon Armageddon [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKxcHrEk7IQ#t=0m28s Ultra,]] there have been comparisons to ''{{Anime/Beyblade}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpHGBKi9lw4 here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeIvWO830_o here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmTz9_J8B00 here]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBXNYUGgYjc here]]), which have led to the ''other'' {{Fan Nickname}}s of Shin Goku Beyblade and the Akumanian Devil.

In the last round, Daigo's Ken is whittled down to his last tick of health: [[CherryTapping any damage, even chip damage, would have ended the match in Justin's favor]].

"ButForMeItWasTuesday".'''[[hottip:Explanation:Bison's CrowningMomentOfAwesome, when Chun-Li called him out for [[YouKilledMyFather killing her father]]. Notable because it [[TropeCodifier codified]] and [[TropeNamer named]] [[ButForMeItWasTuesday an awesome trope]].]]

* Quick change the channel![[hottip:Explanation:Dimwitted Zangief comment as a video broadcast displays an explosive heading directly for Bison's base.]]
** You got... paid? (Unfortunately, Balrog wasn't there to fully cash in on that scene.)[[hottip:Explanation:Zangief makes a HeelFaceTurn after discovering that not only was Bison the villain, but his compatriots (most notably Dee Jay) only worked for Bison for the money. Balrog addendum is a reference to his "I GOT PAID!" winquote from the [[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNKMillenniumFight2000 Capcom vs. SNK]] games.]]
* From Dee Jay: "Oh man, I should have stayed at {{Microsoft}}". [[hottip:Explanation:During the siege on Bison's base as Dee Jay attempts to escape]]

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA8YYfeo6pU Oh Guile]], [[CampGay that color is YOU]]!"[[hottip:Explanation:Ken is CampGay in the cartoon series for some unknown reason.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_5LnKVfS5M "NAOOOOOOO!"]] [[hottip:Explanation: Guile is unhappy to see Cammy kissing and allying with Bison, due to brain washing. Any sense of drama is destroyed by Guile shaking his fists like a toddler and a rather upbeat musical cue.]]

* '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez_QsafTLF0 "BIIIIISONNNNNN!!!!"]]''' * ''[[IncendiaryExponent random fire sprouts up]]''* [[hottip:Explanation:Guile cursing Bison's name when he learns Blanka's been exposed to a deadly virus. When he shouts Bison's name, flames randomly sprout behind him for no reason.]]

* "Japanese fighters stick together... [[LargeHam 'CAUSE WE'RE BROTHERS!! AHAHAHAHAHA!]]" [[hottip:Explanation:Honda offering Ryu half the prize money he earnt from beating Dhalsim in a fight, mainly because Dhalsim sensed Ryu's prescence and that allowed Honda to get the winning blow in.

* '''Guile's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie_R1H9L4eI theme]] goes with everything!'''[[hottip:Explanation:take Guile's theme song from ''[[CapcomSequelStagnation Hyper]] VideoGame/StreetFighterII [[UpdatedRerelease Turbo]]'' and apply it to any situation.]]
*** A comment from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3qus-O2uGA&feature=related Fresh Prince vs Guile Theme]] : ''Guile's Theme is a metaphor for the collective human consciousness, the timings for its beats and rythm changes being perfectly or near perfectly set to allow it to fit in with any scene and genre with no need to cut it to fit in. In addition, the emotion of the song itself is of universal appeal, fitting in with any plot, be it tragic, heroic or action packed. Only an omniscient and omnipresent entity could have crafted such a perfect composition... thus Guile's Theme is proof there is a god.''
** '''"Go home and be a family man!"'''[[hottip:Explanation:Guile's ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' ending. It's also one of his winquotes (but only appears in the console ports), which got a reprise in IV.]]
*** '''TravisWillingham is a family man!'''[[hottip:Explanation:Travis is Guile's voice actor in StreetFighterIV and he married LauraBailey (Chun-Li's VA), thus he's now a family man like Guile.

** "Are you man enough to fight with me?"
* '''[[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/ehonda-headsmash-alpha.gif E. Honda's flying headbutt]]'''[[hottip:Explanation:This doesn't need much explanation, though. For instance, it would be parodied in ''TheKingOfFighters'' with Hinako Shijou attempting to mimic the move and falling on her face every time.]]

* '''HELLOOOOOO~KEN!'''[[hottip:Explanation:Each and any of these are {{Mondegreen}}s, which by the very nature of that trope... are memetic on their own. For the sake of clarity, though, the explanations will contain the attacks referenced. For example, this one is "[[EnergyBall Hadoken]]".]]

** '''[[StreetFighter TIGER ROBOCOP!!]]'''[[hottip:Explanation:Sagat's "[[{{Shoryuken}} Tiger Uppercut]]"]]
*** '''[[MostAnnoyingSound TIGER! TIGER! TIGER!]]'''[[hottip:Explanation:Sagat's "[[EnergyBall Tiger Shot]]"Notable especially for [[GameBreaker Old Sagat]] in Super Turbo.]]
** '''ALEX FULL!!'''[[hottip:Explanation:Guile's "[[KiAttacks Sonic Boom]]".]]

** "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance" [[hottip: Explanation: Most non-Japanese didn't get the reference to the mythological dragon god (who isn't [[DragonBall that one]] necessarily), so it left them scratching their heads as to what "Sheng Long" meant.]]

** "I'm the strongest woman in the world!"

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSzPbO9DFcg Jazzy NYC]], the theme of Alex from ''III'', has started a movement [[FanNickname for slapping the name]] "Jazzy" on anything with even the slightest hint of jazz in it.

* "[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Looks like it's]] [[VictoryQuote time to oil up!]]"[[hottip:*:Hakan's CatchPhrase.]]
