** Just the fact that while his tragic ''Alpha 2'' death is canon, ultimately it shows Charlie ''could'' hold his own against Bison despite the odds, and this is a Bison who's at his potentially strongest for a very long while. It's always an external circumstance or betrayal that ultimately takes him down to save Bison's life rather than anything else.

* The first instance of Dramatic Battle Mode in the series: Ryu and Ken are rarin' to go for a fight on the Great Wall but then "[[SecretCharacter HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!]]" It's Bison, wanting to recruit the duo into Shadaloo. Both aren't having any of that, and decide to set asside their differences and team up against him. Cue [[AwesomeMusic/StreetFighter the music from the movie]].

* Managing to flat out dodge Bison's Final Psycho Crusher with a well-timed Messatsu Gou Hadou, whether by accident or on purpose, will be easily a moment of awesome for the player.

* Dhalsim gets a massive CMOA in Alpha 3 via [[spoiler: destroying the Psycho Drive via ''sheer willpower and focused meditation''.]] (Sadly, that's not 100% canon) Earlier on he also had a minor one via [[spoiler: snapping Cammy out of her BrainwashedAndCrazy state, triggering her recovery of her true self and her HeelFaceTurn.]] (This one ''is'').
* In the portable version of Alpha 3, we also have [[spoiler: Yun telling Bison to '''shut it''' after he tells him to kill an injured Feilong and join Shadaloo]].
* What about Sakura [[spoiler: pulling a GoThroughMe to protect the collapsed Ryu from Bison]]? It didn't really work at the moment, but [[spoiler: it did snap Ryu outta being BrainwashedAndCrazy, so he repays the favor [[PapaWolf via tearing Bison a new one]].]] 'Sides, it's a PluckyGirl who's already weakened and injured, ''against the BigBad who has just been empowered''. That takes guts.
** And then we have Karin [[spoiler: using her family's KillSat to destroy the Psycho Drive.]] And doing so ''via talking to the operators through her cellphone''. Funny and badass.
* Charlie's ending in Alpha 3 [[spoiler: which surprisingly doesn't end with him dying like the last two. Instead, he takes a jet fighter, blows up Bison's base and the Pyscho Drive. Bison survives the explosion and boasts "It's not over yet, I will show you the path to eternal agony!" Charlie replies, [[PreMortemOneLiner "Don't bother, I'm already there. Now it's your turn to suffer..."]], and guns Bison down with the jet's vulcan gun.]]

-->"Just leave this to me! [[spoiler: The base will collapse in time]]... NOW, GO!"
* Ryu's ending in Alpha 2 is one for... Akuma. [[spoiler: They fight, and after the fight Akuma shows that he was just testing Ryu and sinks the island they were fighting on, showing if he really wanted to beat Ryu, he would have.]]

[[spoiler: Unfortunately the Dolls ended up being recaptured by Shadaloo eventually and remained under Bison's control until his definitive defeat in SFV. As for Cammy herself she was unexpectedly rescued by Vega of all people, who admired her for her beauty, and that's how she ended up at Delta Red for II]].

* M. Bison gets one if you lose to him in ''Alpha 3'', which is [[ThatOneBoss pretty easy to do]]. You can't continue, and are forced to watch as he stuffs your beaten character into a machine to power his Psycho Drive, which kills them in the process. He then proceeds to take over the world, destroying cities with the weapon.

** What makes this even more awesome, as well as for Ken, Fei Long and Guy, who managed the same feat, is that the ''Raging Demon'' also did that to Bison. That's right, Dee Jay's Sobat Festival, Ken's Shoryuken, Fei Long's Rekkashingeki and Guy's Bushin Musou Renge are ''on par with the Raging Demon here''. Too bad it's not 100% canon...

Turns out that Bison's ending in the Dreamcast (and PSP) version glitched out and displayed some text from Birdie's ending instead. Most other versions display different, more Bison-centric text spoken by Bison himself.


** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSLX-n83zH0 the Dreamcast version]] of Alpha 3, in M. Bison's ending, Ryu goes inside the Psycho Drive to try to gain Bison's powers... which is exactly what the dictator wanted. Ryu is trapped inside, and it ends on him screaming for help as Bison prepares to make Ryu his new host body.

* Dee Jay's ending. After delivering a ShutUpHannibal to Bison when the dictator invites him to join Shadaloo, He fights Bison and pushes him to the very limit, only for Bison to revive with the Psycho Drive. What follows is Dee Jay unleashing a Sobat Festival so powerful that Bison desintegrates.
