* In most matchups against Athena, one of the two {{True Final Boss}}es, Athena comments on how the character should not be in Heaven and needs to be defeated. However, if her opponent is [[MsFanservice Mai]], the conversation topic becomes completely different.
--> '''Mai:''' "What's with the bikini? Are you really that [[AttentionWhore desperate for attention]]?" \\
'''Athena:''' "...[[{{Hypocrite}} You]]'re one to talk...[[PleasePutSomeClothesOn just who's showing more?]]" \\
'''Mai:''' "You'll be, sister, [[ClothingDamage when I'm through with you]]!"
** It's very likely Mai is confusing Goddess Athena with the Athena she knows from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''.
** And speaking of which, what if the opponent is [[DetectEvil Kim]] instead?
--> '''Kim:''' "[[PleasePutSomeClothesOn Put on some clothes!]] Have you no shame?!" \\
'''Athena:''' ''(ComicallyMissingThePoint)'' "Do you object to my fashion sense? Doesn't it suit me?" \\
'''Kim:''' "That's not what I'm talking about! Cover yourself!" \\
'''Athena:''' I'm rather fond of this outfit...
* Both of Dan's endings, where he whips out his Saikyo dojo sign and forces the defeated and their comrades to train with him. Mind you, [[HijackingCthulhu said defeated is either an agent of Heaven (Athena) or Hell (Red Arremer)]].
* Do a MirrorMatch and both instances of the character will lampshade this.
* Akuma just wants you to know he has standards.
-->'''Akuma:''' Defeating you takes less effort than smacking a baby! Not that I'd ever do that!
* Ryo is one of the few characters who is unfazed by M. Bison... But for a completely different reason than usual:
--> '''Ryo:''' Hey, how did you attach those big old knee and shoulder pads in there?\\
'''Bison:''' That's enough chatter.\\
'''Ryo:''' Those babies in-sewn?\\
'''Bison:''' You prattling cretin... Put a sock in it!
* In Akuma's endings, Lord kicks him out of either heaven or the netherworld with his usual "Hee-yah!" but Akuma immediately hops back in, either interrupting God's tea time to pick a fight with him or doing some sick no damage runs on the world of ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins''.
** Similarly, defeating Athena as Demitri has him staying in heaven to challenge Lord, who's just sitting there having tea and watching tv.
* Ryo and Mr. Karate's endings having them showing off after their victory while Robert and Yuri compliment them. "Oodely dodely cool!", says Yuri. Afterwards, the losing man appears looking dejected in the foreground.
* Iori vs. Genjyuro has fun lampshading how similar the two characters are, with both only saying one line to each other: "Vermin! ...Die!" At the same time, even.
** The similarities don't escape Kyo's notice either:
--> ''I don't need this... You remind me of someone who really peeves me off!''
* When characters are defeated by [[ScratchDamage chip damage]], they'll crumple to the ground face down while letting out an exhausted sound. Vega (Claw) in particular lets out a very strange whine. He's known for his [[FunnyBruceLeeNoises high-pitched yells]] during battle, but that whine sounds so absurd, like he's imitating Professor Frink from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
