3* The announcement of ''Street Fighter IV'' itself was a Moment of Awesome. Fans and even the ''Street Fighter'' team thought that the game would never be made.
4* '''ANY''' fight involving Dudley and Balrog.
5* Guy gets quite a big one in his ending, where he faces Bison when he's carrying [[TrueCompanions his friend Rose]] away, threatening with blowing up his aircraft if he doesn't release her. ''And he succeeds'', making Bison back down and saving Rose from his influence.
6* While pretty much all of the Ultras are awesome, whenever [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZRb1KRm2g Fei Long's Gekirinken]] [[CounterAttack connects]] it's even better. ''Specially'' due to how it's finished... with the legendary One Inch Punch.
7* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfMPN_IWJVk Adon vs. Sagat's Rival Intro]] is made of pure awesome.
8* ''Anime/StreetFighterIVTheTiesThatBind'':
9** In this movie, Sakura bringing Ryu back from the Satsui no Hado via a CooldownHug at ''great'' risk to herself and Ken briefly reaching the State of Nothingness as he fights to rescue Eliza.
10** ''[[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Eliza]] herself'' gets one that doubles as SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, when she [[BatterUp grabs a bat]] and hits a mook that was about to hit Ken InTheBack. And this is ''right'' after Ken rescued her... gal's got NervesOfSteel.
11** In the same movie, Ryus enter the State of Nothingness against Seth. Prior to this, Seth had been pounding Ryu into the ground and shrugging off everything he threw at him. Ryu enters the State of Nothingness, [[GoodHurtsEvil he burns Seth's arm just by grabbing it]] before knocking him away and defeating him with the Metsu Hadoken.
12* Sagat's intro movie has him decide to get a rematch against Adon. Adon is confident he'll win, not knowing he only managed to beat him because [[WorfHadTheFlu Sagat's rage kept him from focusing on the fight]]. Sagat defeats him immediately with the Tiger Destruction.
13** Prior to that, he ''knocks out a bear with a Tiger Uppercut''.
14* Blanka's intro, in what doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, has him ''ride a whale to get to the tournament''.
15* Akuma's introduction movie in Super IV: He turns a chunk of a forest into a crater by punching the ground.
16* As nightmarish as [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Oni]] Akuma is, he's undeniably badass. His intro has him obliterate a tree just by exerting his ki, and his ending has him cause and jump out of a volcanic eruption without a scratch on him.
17* Cody returns in this game and, plot wise, he is an absolute wildcard who is openly able to thrash most of the cast ''while willingly keeping his handcuffs on.'' Not only that, hardly any of them give him what he can honestly call a good fight.
18** Even ''Oni himself'' admits that, if he ditched the cuffs, he'd stand a good chance of beating him. '''''[[PersonOfMassDestruction ONI]]'''''. Think about that one for a second, how powerful we ''know'' he is, and just what that says about the former hero of Metro City.
19* Rolento was treated as sort of a bizarre, but funny character in ''Street Fighter x Tekken''. But in ''Ultra'', we get to see him in element: [[ColonelBadass competently commanding a massive military force]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwalvJLtox8 He even takes out Seth with a plethora of grenades]] and a PreMortemOneLiner, and all of S.I.N's secrets and technology are his for the taking! [[WhosLaughingNow Not so funny now, is he?]]
20-->'''Rolento''': Hmph, [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse I've an offer for you.]] (''snaps off the safeties from his grenades, [[ThrowDownTheBomblet and hurls a handful of them at Seth]]'') '''I offer you ''[[PreMortemOneLiner A GLORIOUS DEATH IN BATTLE!]]''''' (''cue an epic "OhCrap" reaction from Seth, [[StuffBlowingUp just before he's vaporised in a massive explosion]]'')
21* In her ''Ultra'' ending, Elena shows what the PowerOfFriendship can really do. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6VEHRrJ4gs#t=01m30s We get a look at some of the fighters she's befriended]], like Sakura, Blanka, El Fuerte, Dudley,...and ''Akuma!''
22** [[ExtremeOmnivore She survives, and enjoys, El Fuerte's food!]]
23* "I do not take orders from you. Now YOU listen!". [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Did Hugo just tell off Bison?]]
24* Overlapping with MoralEventHorizon, we have Bison's actions in Decapre's ending. Did he just manage to ''force Cammy to return to Shadaloo'', using Decapre as the bait?! [[ManipulativeBastard Yes, he did. THE BASTARD.]]
