Context Funny / StreetFighterIV

Go To

1Neither ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' nor its sequels ''Super Street Fighter IV'' and ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'' take themselves too seriously, and generate much funniness as a result.
2----
3* In one of ''Super Street Fighter IV''[='=]s trailers, [[VideoGame/FinalFight Guy]] makes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoOqT4oynzo#t=01m39s one hell of a funny (and extremely out of character) face]]!
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTG9xW8iJd8 Dan's SFIV Ending]]. You can almost ''hear'' [[Series/TheBennyHillShow Yakety Sax]] as background music.
5** The subtitles interpret the gibberish in the beginning as *$&@%!?
6* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8DwVWHyMzs El Fuerte's ending, where we learn just what kind of cook El Fuerte is...]]
7** Takes the sting off of certain rather mean-sounding winning quotes of people that beat him up, Cammy in particular.
8** Akuma had a scathing one. not only ended his cooking career, but his wrestling career too.
9--->'''Akuma''': You pursue two careers, but fail gloriously at both!
10* Dhalsim's Rival fight against Rufus has Dhalsim just ''floating'' through a Hong Kong marketplace like it's no big thing. Rufus leaps to the obvious conclusion--Dhalsim's an alien.
11** And then it's followed by Dhalsim's resulting victory quote:
12-->''I'm NOT an alien!''
13** It's '''even funnier''' when you play ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' and see that '''Dhalsim is still angry about that''' (it's his winquote against Paul, who's pretty much as intelligent as Rufus[[note]]His winquote to Rufus still addresses the matter, but in a much calmer manner[[/note]]).
14* Dee Jay's exchange with Rufus in ''Super Street Fighter IV'', mainly due to how damn ''[[BigLippedAlligatorMoment random]]'' it is. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8-JIuvBkDk Japanese version]] gets bonus points for featuring GratuitousEnglish that would make [[VideoGame/FatalFury Terry Bogard]] proud.
15** Props must be given to Dee Jay for managing to speak over ''[[MotorMouth Rufus]]'' with only a few words.
16* Complete the game (read: beat Seth) as Dan in ''IV'', and the first thing Dan says in his win quote is him asking where his prize money is, and if it comes in the form of a GiantNoveltyCheck.
17** Do it with Makoto and she basically ''says the same thing''.
18*** The real Dan comedy comes when fighting [[{{Superboss}} Oni]]. Dan doesn't even ''realize he won''.
19* ''Guy and Bison's KO cries.'' "Profound, sadness..." [[BigNo "NOOoooOOOOooOOOOOO!!!"]] There are other hammy ones in the game, but these REALLY stand out...
20** Guy's Japanese KO cry is "Munnen!" (something like "what a shame") and Bison's is a BigWhat as hammy as only Creator/NorioWakamoto can deliver.
21** Balrog's cry of "MY FIGHT MONEY!"
22* E. Honda is going around the world to spread the word about Sumo, failing to realize that he's not exactly going about it the right way. Gouken says the way he's doing it is "sacrilege" to the art, all the while, Rufus and, of all people, Dan tell him that it's not even Sumo to begin with.
23* While nearly every character's game over screen shows them collapsing on the floor, some even crying out of frustration and anger, Cody's [[https://youtu.be/xl4GN2Q2Ujw?t=1m42s game over screen]] shows him yawning and stretching before lying on the floor to take a nap, not giving a crap that he lost.
24** Also, one of Cody's winning poses has him looking around... then [[BlatantLies very innocently]] [[NotSoInnocentWhistle whistling]] his way out of the scene.
25** Another variant of that pose doesn't have him whistling... but he instead says "[[IShallTauntYou Geez, you]] ''[[IShallTauntYou suck]]'' [[IShallTauntYou man!]]"
26* Yun's ending. As they boys come back home, they see a VERY pissed [[{{Tsundere}} Hoimei]] running up to them. What does Yang do? ''Trip Yun so he can't escape and Hoimei can drag him back home by the ear''. Fucking hilarious.
27* Using Akuma's Wrath of the Raging Demon Ultra on the opponents causes them to yell out their KO cries as Akuma beats them. Using it on Balrog results in him yelling about his fight money whilst being pulverized by Akuma. One has to wonder what's going through Akuma's head when that happens.
28** To that note, of Akuma's Ultra, Dan's imitation, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown Shisso Buraiken]] can top it. That's right, Dan's Ultra beats Akuma's Ultra.
29* Seth's Ultra's, sweet God, ''Seth's Ultras''. They double as {{Narm}} and one constantly asks themselves (particularly for the Japanese version): "THIS guy is the final boss?" The first one especially stands out: his [[EvilLaugh laughter]] in the first Ultra is notoriously cheesy (the English line before that was "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Become a]] [[AccidentalInnuendo part of me...]]") and it basically looks like... well... [[JizzedInMyPants you know]] (the victim's face makes it even more hilarious to watch).
30* Hakan's Oil Rocket. He grabs them in a bearhug and squeezes them so hard they ''pop out of his arms and go flying''.
31* The entirety of Zangief's rival match against Abel. Particularly the introduction cutscene:
32--> Zangief: You look like you're worried about something, Comrade! Fighting is the best thing to do when life gets you down! Alright, I'm going to help you out!
33--> Abel: [[FlatWhat Huh?]]
34** Even better, Abel's win quote on that particular match reveals ''he doesn't even realize he is fighting Zangief'' until AFTER winning against the Red Cyclone.
35** Since everyone has a special sound byte when defeating their opponent--which differs between normal, Super and Ultra finishes--you can finish Abel off with his Ultimate Atomic Buster, and he'll go, "I bet you feel so much better now, huh?"
36** And of course, there's Zangief's Winquote for that particular fight, which he can say right after the above moment:
37--> Zangief: What, that wasn't enough? If you insist, I'd be happy to throw you some more!
38* From ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'', we have Poison's Ultras. Specially when the first one has her [[KneelBeforeZod making the opponent kneel]] before LITERALLY [[WhipOfDominance whipping his/her ass]] (it's a riding crop, but still)[[note]] It should be noted that this is also her Super Art move from VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken [[/note]], or when she finishes the second with a good old [[GroinAttack kick to the groin]].
39* Hugo starts off ''Ultra'' being confronted by several gang members in what should be an epic brawl. He stomps out of his trailer, making the ground shake with each step, gulps down an entire can of potatoes...and then ''starts bawling because he misses his mother's home-grown potatoes''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9SDaULJA4o It must be seen to be believed]]. Thus he begins a quest to become "the big potato", and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9SDaULJA4o#t=01m55s he succeeds]]. Yes, Hugo, you ''ARE'' the big potato!
40* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6VEHRrJ4gs#t=01m30s Elena reminiscing about all the new friends she's made in her arcade ending.]] Dancing with Blanka, enjoying El Fuerte's cooking, having tea with Dudley...''[[BreadEggsMilkSquick and glomping and taking a selfie with Akuma, of all people!]]''
41** The selfie becomes even funnier when you realize [[NotSoAboveItAll Akuma is the one taking the selfie!]]
42* Can't mention Ultra's new endings without Poison's. Namely, that she has a band. A band composed of herself, ''Hugo'', ''Rolento'', ''Guy'', ''Ryu'', ''Ken'' and ''Cody''. With Music/{{KISS}}-style make-up. RefugeInAudacity doesn't begin to describe.
43* "Medic! I've been poisoned!". No, Rolento isn't actually poisoned. He just ran into [[LethalChef El Fuerte]].
44* Combinations of certain intro quotes can create quite awkward, but funny moments. For example Oni and Sakura.
45-->'''Oni:''' ''"I shall grind beneath my heel all that exists!''"\
46'''Sakura:''' (with a big grin) "''Pleased to meet you!''"
47* The game gives you the ability to individually change the dialogue for characters from English to Japanese. In rival cutscenes, this can lead to two characters [[BilingualDialogue speaking completely different languages and yet understanding each other perfectly]]. That's funny enough, but with the right dialogue, it can be made even funnier.
48-->'''Makoto:''' ''(In Japanese)'' If I beat you, it'd do a lot for Rindo-kan's reputation! Put up your dukes!
49-->'''Fei-Long:''' ''(In English)'' I have no idea what you're talking about, but you're on!
50* Usually, Evil Ryu isn't funny, but if he defeats Poison, he becomes angry for [[HairTriggerTemper all the]] [[SkewedPriorities wrong reasons.]]
51--> '''Evil Ryu:''' "Who DARES challenge the Satsui no Hado [[SeriousBusiness in]] [[CombatStilettos heels]]?! [[FelonyMisdemeanor You've earned this death!]]"
52** Made all the funnier considering normal Ryu also mentions the heels, albeit with less vitriol than Evil Ryu.
53-->'''Ryu''': "I don't know how you can fight wearing those shoes."
54* One of Ryu's win quotes answers one of the most common questions in all of Street Fighter. Why Ryu doesn't use shoes? He chooses not to.
55-->'''Ryu''': Shoes? No. I can certainly afford them. I go barefoot for comfort.
56* FunnyBackgroundEvent: At Mad Gear Hideout, the hardened criminals, under Sodom's lead, are throwing an ''epically-rocking kabuki festival'', of all things. [[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar]] then appears at the end of round 2 and crashes the party. Sodom then runs away in fear as Haggar chases him.
57* Both [[FanBoy Yang's and Yun's]] win quotes against Fei Long [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee are funny as HELL]]:
58-->'''Yun''': "Hey, are you Fei Long!? Duuuude! I'm so telling Yang about this!"
59-->'''Yang''': ""Wait, you're the real Fei Long!? Hang on, I gotta call my brother!"
60* One of Rolento's downloadable alternate outfits is... [[AlmightyJanitor A janitor]]. Complete with his baton being replaced with a ''plunger''.
61* Juri's choice words for Gouken.
62-->'''Juri''': "I'd heard you were tough, but you're just an old fart past his prime."
63* Midway between this trope and SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: Zangief's ''Super'' intro has [[HuskyRusskie him]] wrestling [[BearsAreBadNews with bears]] [[SnowMeansDeath in the snow]] like other times... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6-7mHDZEwE and it finishes with him AND the bears flexing their muscles.]]
