'''''[[Big Yes|"YES! YES!"]]'''''|[[Memetic Mutation|M. Bison]]}}
In 1995, the [[USA Network]] and InVision Entertainment decided to make a kid-friendly [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Street Fighter]]''. The problem was that they didn't seem to know which ''Street Fighter'' to use as the template: the video game ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' or [[Street Fighter (film)|the American-made movie]] based (loosely) on ''Street Fighter II''.
As the [[Opening Narration]] above explains, Guile leads a group of Street Fighters against terrorism, mainly related to Shadaloo. The majority of the ''Street Fighter'' movie's story had taken place in this show and most of the characters who were given full names (William F. Guile, Ryu Hoshi, Carlos "Charlie" Blanka, Viktor Sagat, etc.) and new roles (Dr. Dhalsim, computer-savvy Honda, Dee Jay and Balrog) were kept. However, the characters look like they did in the games, Fei-Long and Akuma (who were omitted in the actual movie) appear in the show, and everybody's alliances in the show (except Zangief, who even at the end of the movie was good) reflect how they were in the games.
The series had its share of problems. Some fans didn't like how the characters retained aspects from the movie -- for example, Guile being the main character rather than Ryu. The show also had [[Off-Model|inconsistent animation and artwork]], mostly generic storylines, and weird moments and dialogue that appear in many episodes.
Line 18:
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Zangief, who is among M. Bison's lackeys.
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Even after being [[What the Hell, Hero?|called out]] for being an irresponsible [[Jerkass]], Ken still acts like one.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: The American series is the source of many [[
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: The series has far, far, ''far'' too many examples of this to list here, so let's just have a quote from Dhalsim sum it up:
{{quote|'''Dhalsim''': "Not if I were bound by your immutable laws of physics. Fortunately, I have advanced beyond such simple-minded perceptions and embraced the limitless enlightenment of metaphysics."}}
Line 54:
* [[Evil Tastes Good]]:
** For Bison, watching Guile get his ass kicked by one of his mutant soldiers in "The Medium is the Message".
{{quote|''[[Punctuated!
** Satin/Saturn Hammer is also prone to stating her view on the tastiness of whatever is currently happening.
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: Specifically Bison and his followers.
Line 100:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]:
** The famous "YES! YES!" scene is accompanied by a brassy, heroic fanfare (actually [[Johann Sebastian Bach|"Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor"]]), even though Bison is the [[Big Bad]] and might've finally triumphed over the heroes. Guile's [[Big No]] mentioned above also features a brassy stinger that wouldn't sound out of place on ''[[The A-Team]]''.
** While the build up to it is much shorter, the upbeat, heroic fanfare returns in a similarly inappropriate spot in the ''Final Fight'' episode, where Belger is firing a laser gun at Cody, Guy and Jessica who are hiding behind a table.
{{quote|"It's only a matter of time until you're all FRIED!" (*upbeat heroic fanfare*)}}
** That same fanfare is used when Guile and Bison go into the house which then turns into a bacon monster in Guile's nightmare.
