Street Fighter (InstanceTopic, 14)
From Compile Worlds
Street Fighter (better known as Street Fighter II) is a fighting game series by Capcom and is the best fighting game series out there. Some may argue Mortal Kombat is better, but they are just violent retards.
Street Fighter has been known to team up with other companies like SNK, Marvel Comics and Tatsunoko which for the most part results in Win!
Street Fighter is very culturally diverse when it comes to characters, however they gave the oversight to Canada and add more Americans
Characters
- Ryu (リュウ)
- Hailing from Japan as the main character, he is the spiky-haired protagonist who's power level is over 9000 and is best friends with Ken. He's the easiest character to use cause everyone knows how to use the Hadōken (波動拳). If you don't, then you fail! also press ↓, ↘, →, and then "punch" in a smooth motion).

Ken Masters- Ken Masters (ケン・マスターズ)
- The American pretty boy who is a fan favourite; his moveset is no different from his best friend Ryu's. The excuse is that they trained together, so they must fight the same. Ken's dream is to beat Ryu!
- Gen (元)
- An old man from China. No one plays as him any more.
- Sagat (サガット)
- From Thailand, he is the original bad guy of the series before M. Bison and Akuma. He wears an eye patch so you know he's totally evil!
- Chun-Li (チュンリー, 春麗)
- The woman with buns and thighs of steel! She is from China and works for the Interpol as an undercover agent. She was added for sex appeal and Lightning Kick!
- Blanka (ブランカ)
- An orange-haired and green-skinned jungle man who was raised in Brazil. He makes Pikachu's thunder attack look like a simple static shock.
- Edmond Honda (エドモンド 本田)
- Also known as simply E. Honda, he is a sumo wrestler of Japanese origin who wears Kabuki makeup. He has the same moveset as Chun-Li but with punches instead of kicks.
- Guile (ガイル)
- The result of trying to make a tough army-like American character who in the end comes off looking like the leader of a gay rights movement. His full name is William F. Guile and has rank of colonel in the US Army. It is also worth noting that he was played by Jean Claude Van Damme in the live action film.
- Dhalsim (ダルシム)
- A stretchy rubber man made of Indian voodoo magic. Every other word out of his mouth is "yoga". You've been warned! He has a small meme based off an old street fighter toy advert where the announcer asks What's a Dhalsim!?
- Zangief (ザンギエフ, Зангиев)
- HE IS THE RED CYCLONE! Though he uses what come across as American wrestling moves only seen on WWE he is actually from Russia. He has a thing for sticking men's heads between his thighs as he delivers the Spinning Pile Driver. He is also one of the hardest characters to use.
- Balrog
- In Japan he is known as Mike Bison (マイク・バイソン) commonly abbreviated as M. Bison which is the name of an evil dude in other street fighter games and is a completely different character. LOLWTF! He is a boxer from the USA.
- Vega
- Now, to prove how silly and bad translations can get. Vega's name in Japan is Balrog (バルログ). Vega is another pretty boy but instead of rugged handsome that Ken executes, Vega looks suave and mysterious. He is almost always wearing a mask that hides his face and is also the only character with a weapon: a long set of claws that make Wolverine envious. He is the only person alive who can do Spanish ninjitsu and make clown pants look good. He's from Spain.
- M. Bison
- We've come full circle. His Japanese name is Vega (ベガ). The character is a recurring boss and antagonist. He tries to run the world's government with his criminal syndicate, the Shadaloo (シャドルー). No one knows where he came from.
- Cammy (キャミィ)
- The English Shadaloo assassin whose long slender legs cannot rival the power of Chun-Li's. She tries to make up for this by having abs of steel while her buns are more like cotton. In the recent live-action movie she is played by Kylie Minogue.

Akuma has a secret shoe fetish- Akuma
- Is not to be confused with Akuma though both are quite evil. Known in Japan as Gouki (豪鬼), Akuma means devil! He is the Yang to Ryu's Ying. He is the dark Hadōken. He wants Ryu to join him.
- Fei Long (フェイロン, 飛龍)
- A dragon warrior from Hong Kong; he's not that interesting. See Ryu for a more original character.
- Rose (ローズ)
- A fortune teller from Italy, she has no strength as a fighter so she wields shiny desu magical powers. She is the only girl who can fight in a long skirt and non-revealing clothing.
- Dan Hibiki (火引 弾)
- He wants so badly to be the guy like Ryu but he fails so bad it can be turned around as win. He is from Hong Kong.

Sakura Kasugano- Sakura Kasugano (春日野 さくら)
- Every game needs a high school girl complete with Japanese schoolgirl uniform and cliche name. She's similar to Amy Rose in her obsession with Ryu, but where Amy comes off as a complete psycho, Sakura is a cute sweet girl who is friendly, funny and CAN SERIOUSLY KICK YOUR ASS! She was so popular she spawned a spin off called Rival Schools.
- Rufus (ルーファス)
- He's not very interesting. Worth a mention cause his stomach appears to use the same jiggly gravity as the boobs in DoA X-treme Beach Volleyball. Also note how the fatass comes from the USA and has only appeared in the most recent game.
- Crimson Viper (クリムゾン・ヴァイパー)
- Like Rose, she can't really fight either. She was given special shiny desu science powers and works testing weapons made by S.I.N.. Her real name is Maya (マヤ), and she has a daughter named Lauren. Her country of origin is unknown.
- El Fuerte (エル・フォルテ)
- IT'S SUPER DYNAMIC COOKING TIME! A masked Mexican luchador, he balances his love of wrestling and cooking very well. He is the next in line to be Dan with his antics. He isn't the best fighter, and works via fake-outs.
- Seth
- The antagonist in the latest game. He is the CEO of S.I.N., a weapons manufacturer. He is one of the cheapest characters to ever appear in a fighting game as he can use moves from pretty much every other SF character ever. His secret laboratory is in Bermuda.

Movies
- Street Fighter II
- The Animated Movie
- originally released in Japan as Street Fighter II Movie (ストリートファイター II MOVIE)Not to be confused with the live-action adaptation. Not very interesting.
- Street Fighter
- 1994 American martial arts action film written and directed by Steven E. de Souza. The film features an international and multicultural cast that included Jean-Claude Van Damme (in the role of William F. Guile) and pop singer Kylie Minogue (as Cammy) LOL WTF
- Street Fighter II V
- pronounced "two vee", also known as Street Fighter II Victory, is an anime series that is although superior to the US cartoon no where near a lulzy.
- US TV series
- American animated series produced by InVision Entertainment so you know it's good! Like all video games made into American cartoons it's not very good, full of errors and is so lulzy you can't stop watching. LOL! Cammy is like 19 and she's making out with M. Bison who's like 30!
- Street Fighter Alpha
- Also known as plotless mind fuck the movie. Features Akuma trying to get Ryu to join the dark side by faking he has a little brother. Completely impossible to follow. Worth watching to see Sakura squeal about going to America to eat lots and lots of hot dogs.
- Alpha Generations
- Another movie like the one before only nothing noteworthy.
- The Legend of Chun-Li
- the second live-action film, received bad reviews as they failed to make Chun-Li Chinese and put her in her trademark blue outfit. There is supposedly going to be a series of movies for every street fighter character. We can only hope there won't be or they turn out better than this movie.
