1* Quite a few of the special match intros can be considered awesome.
2** [[TheHero Alex]] and [[TheRival Hugo]] staring down each other, reminiscent of the iconic [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hulk]] and [[Wrestling/AndreTheGiant Andre]] staredown at [[Wrestling/WrestleMania 'Mania III]].
3** [[PintsizedPowerhouse Makoto]] and [[HighlyVisibleNinja Ibuki]] clashing via dive kicking and taking their stances.
4** A simple one, but [[HeterosexualLifePartners Ryu and Ken]] sharing a fist bump before their fight.
5** [[GlacierWaif Makoto]] and [[SiblingYinYang Yun or Yang]] bowing before their fights.
6** Dudley almost running down a standing Makoto [[WhatTheHellHero might seem a bit off at first]], [[FridgeBrilliance until you realize that he was most likely testing the young prodigy's reaction]]. [[NervesOfSteel She didn't budge one bit]].
7** Sean shares two special intros, both of which involves him shooting a basketball at his opponent. The one with Elena has him [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments temporarily dizzy her with the basketball]]. The one with Yun has the latter [[NervesOfSteel not even move an inch]].
8** Seeing Remy, Yun, Dudley and Ibuki stand up to [[ImplacableMan Q]] when paired up with him is nothing short of badass.
9** Makoto ([[EnsembleDarkhorse who has quite a few of these]]) managing to cool herself down before her match with [[LivingLegend Ryu]], and [[BadassAdorable defiantly standing up to]] [[TheDreaded Akuma]] when paired up against him.
10* Makoto's arcade ending shows the massive pile of challengers she's defeated. This includes some of the ''3rd Strike'' roster, as well as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Zangief, T. Hawk, Dee Jay]], and VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha-era Cammy!
11* Countering any of Gill's Super Arts. They're intentionally designed to be difficult, but all three ''can'' be countered if you're in the right position at the right time. You can dash under the Meteor Strike and hit him out of the animation. You can also hit him out of the Seraphic Wing animation before he fully spreads his wings. The Resurrection can't be stopped, but you can limit the amount of health Gill regains by dashing up close and hitting him out of the animation. Due to how it pushes your character back, projectiles and most heavy attacks won't work. The easiest way is to use a light or medium attack; if you have a Super Art stocked up, you can combo Gill into another KO.
