Moments from the Games

• Arguably, Blanka's ending in II.
  • His ending in IV: he leaves home to go and fight, leaving a note to his Mama, promising to come back "when I won't be an embarrassment for you anymore". The ending shows that he'd sent a letter to her saying he was in Hong Kong, prompting Samantha to fly out to him.
  "People still stare at me sometimes, but I don't let it get to me. It's okay to make mistakes once in a while. As long as I get to spend time with my Mama, everything will be just fine."
  • His ending in Super is a down-right Happy Ending for him.
• Dhalsim's ending in Super SFIV.
  "I know it seems that evil is a gaping void in this world that can never truly be vanquished. But I keep my faith. Because the joy in mankind's heart is also endless."
• Sakura's rival battle with Ryu in IV, between Ryu acknowledging her as a capable fighter and Sakura's theme playing throughout, it's a wonderful experience.
  • Both of her endings, too. In IV, Ryu shields Sakura from BLECE before destroying it, then she helps him walk out of the S.I.N base. In the second part of her Super IV one, as she's jogging underneath a local bridge with her Akita dog... she sees Ryu walking towards her, and she runs to him in joy.
• In Super Street Fighter IV, Rose informs T. Hawk that Juli(a) is but a former shell of herself. We then learn that she has lost her memories, her ability to speak, and even her emotions (once more to boot). Her caretakers note that in spite of this, she still has hope. Cue T. Hawk treading through the rain to greet the older Julia, as she wistfully looks out the window.
  • The fact that more than one cast member in the side of good acknowledges Hawk's Undying Loyalty to Juli(a) and encourages him to keep it up is sweet, in a sense.
  • Double when it's Cody. Cody, of all people.
    "Donīt let me stand in your way if you've got stuff to do. Good luck!"
• And we also have Cammy's nurturing of Juni in Super Street Fighter IV. Alongside her "friendship" with a Cute Kitten.
• Not to mention Ken's ending, featuring Eliza and their newborn child, Mel.
• Crimson Viper's ending, which includes her saying hi to her adorable daughter Lauren.
• In the Udon Street Fighter IV comic, El Fuerte and Rufus end up on a Ninja Warrior-like show along with Sakura and Dan. Sakura talks with Fuerte and finds out that he's a big fan of Rainbow Mika. When Crimson Viper shows up to kidnap Sakura, Fuerte leaps to her defense. A few months after the incident, Sakura and her family show up at his restaurant in Mexico... and bring Mika along with them.
• Sagat's SSF 4 ending, where he meets up with a group of Thai children and shows them kindness. It's really adorable to see the giant Sagat holding a little girl's hand as they walk peacefully through the rice fields with another kid and the local elder. Then it's subverted when we see it from Adon's POV in his own ending sequence: while the scene is still a sweet one for the viewers and Sagat himself, Adon is far more cynical and sees it as the proof that Sagat has grown way too soft.
• Abel's SSFIV ending. Just... Abel's ending
  Abel [as he's welcomed by his puppy ]: "...I'm so glad to be back home."
• Necro's SFIII Third Strike ending. where, as he and his girlfriend Effie make an escape from a train, he uses his Rubber Man powers to save her from falling to her death.
  Necro: "For the first time... I feel thankful for this body of mine!"
• The second part of Yang's ending in Third Strike. Not only he aknowledges that Houmei likes Yun instead of him without making a big fuss (which is very mature for a teenage boy, even when he's a little sad about it), but he also has a short but sweet talk with his other friend Shaomei.
  Shaomei: "Although I care about the town, I care a lot more about you two... So please, don't be so reckless, okay?
• Chun-Li's Third Strike ending too. Specially when she has a flashback about how she rescued her kidnapped adoptive daughter (the little girl seen in the prologue) and is seen training her and many other kids.

From the film

• Even when Ken keeps getting them into trouble, his and Ryu's friendship is always solid.
• Despite all the Narm, the Group Shot at the end was kinda heartwarming.
• The first words of the credits are a dedication to Raul Julia, who passed away shortly after filming was completed. Vaya con dios.

Moments from the Animated Media (original animated movie, Street Fighter Alpha The Animation, Street Fighter Alpha Generations, the USA cartoon, SFII V, The Ties that Bind, etc.)

• The Ties that Bind gives us Ryu getting out of his post-Satsui no Hado Heroic BSOD much to Sakura's joy and the scene at the end where Ryu, having won against Seth, collapses to the floor and is happily tended to by Ken, Eliza and Sakura.
