Street Fighter is a series of fighting video games which became popular in the early 1990s. The Brothers Chaps reference it in several of their cartoons, especially Street Fighter II.
Appearances
- Main Page 17 — Marzi-Mei's pose is nearly identical to Chun-Li's victory pose, originally from Street Fighter II. "Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
- 20X6 vs. 1936 — The kicking attack that Stinkoman practices bears a strong resemblance to Chun Li's lightning kick attack.
- 3 Times Halloween Funjob — The Poopsmith dresses up as M. Bison, the final boss of Street Fighter II.
- The flaming maneuver the Poopsmith does when clicking on him is Bison's "Psycho Crusher" attack. The move was known in earlier versions of Street Fighter II as the "flaming torpedo"; hence, the reference to a "flaming Poopsmith".
- Fan Stuff — A picture of Homestar as Goku is intentionally misidentified as "Ken from Street Fighter but with Guile's hair".
- Email dangeresque 3 — Dangeresque Too's "The pipes are broken!" is Homestar Runner trying to say "Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku", a move used by Ryu and Ken that is commonly translated as the "Hurricane Kick". Due to the low-quality ingame audio of the time, it was often hard to understand what characters were saying (especially if the listener could not understand Japanese) which led to humorous misinterpretation.
- Dangeresque Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Hijack — Homestar's character, Stingy Relenque, does a spinning kick, saying, "Ze pipes... zey are broken!"
- Stinkoman 20X6 — 1-Up's spin-kick is similar to the Tatsumaki.
- Sample of Style Too — Matt can be seen mimicking the Hadouken move while performing the motion capture for Marshie.
- Strong Badia the Free — One of the Algebros from Math Kickers is named Ryu.
- 8-Bit Is Enough — Homestar says his lucky quarter got him out of some tight jams, including Street Masher, Street Masher II, and Street Masher II: Slightly Different Costumes Edition. The third title references the many times SF2 has been re-released with expanded or alternate content.
- Hremail 2000 — The music that plays in the Easter egg is similar to Ryu's theme.
- @StrongBadActual tweet (28 Mar 2020) — While playing Axe of Rage, Strong Bad refers to a green enemy as Blanka.
- Disk 4 of 12 - World Games — While playing the Sumo game in World Games, Strong Bad mentions the Hundred Hand Slap, a move used by sumo wrestler E. Honda, and also mimics this move's grunts.
- Marzipan Beef Reverser — A bonus stage that mimics the "Destroy Car" bonus stage from Street Fighter II (first seen in earlier Capcom fighting game Final Fight) is included.
- Strong-Play: Marzipan Beef Reverser — During this bonus stage, Strong Bad compares Marzipan's hair attack to E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap technique.
