History TearJerker / StreetFighter

* Charlie is mutated and tortured halfway into insanity, [[spoiler:and then he, and the man who tried to help him die an explosion.]] Talk about ''depressing''!

* Whether you [[FanPreferredCouple ship]] [[{{Ninja}} Guy]] and [[LadyOfBlackMagic Rose]] [[PlatonicLifePartners or not]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G73EB7XtTE the scene in Guy's ending]] [[spoiler: where Guy holds Rose in his arms and begs her not to give into darkness]] is pretty heartwretching. [[spoiler: And it becomes a CrowningMomentOfeartwarming in Rose's own ending, since she hears his voice and manages to wake up.]]

* In Super Street Fighter 4, a couple of the endings are genuinely sad, namely Guile and T Hawk's endings. Guile's is more bittersweet, as he [[spoiler:visits Charlie's grave and has a toast on it, vowing to finish his takedown of Shadaloo so that Charlie can have closure.]] T Hawk's is genuinely depressing, as he [[spoiler: finds Julia with Rose's help, but her experience with Shadaloo has totally traumatized her, and she is unable to remember who Hawk even is.]] Guile's can put a bit of a glow in your heart knowing that [[spoiler:he succeeded, since Shadaloo is gone by Street Fighter 3's events, so Charlie can rest in peace,]] but Hawk's ending is probably one of the most depressing things you would ever see in a fighting game.
* Guile's ''original'' ending in SFII was a big-ass tearjerker, actually. [[spoiler:Jane and Amy practically have to beg Guile to not kill Bison because [[IfYouKillHimyouWillBeJustLikehim they don't want him to lower himself to commit deliberate murder]] and plead with him to return home with them.]] One single, simple phrase can still make you sniffle like a little girl once in a while:

* The Alpha series gives us [[spoiler: Juni]]'s downright heartbreaking ending, where [[spoiler: she and Juli (aka Julia, T. Hawk's friend) hug each other in front of Bison's body as they become {{Empty Shell}}s (And they won't get better for a LONG time.)]] The montage in which [[spoiler: Charlie and Chun-Li discuss the project that made them borderline {{Robot Girl}}s]] really dosn't help.

* Whether you [[FanPreferredCouple ship]] [[{{Ninja}} Guy]] and [[LadyOfWar Rose]] [[PlatonicLifePartners or not]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G73EB7XtTE the scene in Guy's ending]] [[spoiler: where Guy holds Rose in his arms and begs her not to give into darkness]] is pretty heartwretching.

** RaulJulia's whole performance, as he knew [[YourDaysAreNumbered he didn't have much time left]] and wanted to secure a big paycheck for his family, plus [[CrowningmomentOfHeartwarming do a role his kids wanted to see]]. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome And it was fucking awesome, too.]]

Somehow, even StreetFighter manages to get in on the heartstring tugging action.

-->Guile: "[[spoiler: A-Amy]]? Is that... [[spoiler: my little Amy]]...?

* Also, from [[Film/StreetFighter the movie]], [[spoiler:Guile's (fake) death earlier on can qualify to those of us who watch the movie without much familiarity with the series, and so end up getting the impression he was KilledOffForReal.]]

* The scene from ''The Ties That Bind'' where [[spoiler: Ryu snaps massively upon seeing Viper torture Cammy, '''practically becomes Evil Ryu''' out of anger and a tearful Sakura has to give him a CooldownHug to stop him]] is surprisingly powerful, and it's not helped by how [[spoiler: Ryu [[TwistedKneeCollapse slumps to his knees]] [[WhatHaveIBecome in horror]] upon coming back to his senses, with Sakura still hugging him, and a GreyRainOfDepression falls on them both as well as on Ken and the injured Cammy.]]
* From StreetFighterAlphaTheAnimation, [[spoiler: Shun's death in [[DiedInYourArmsTonight his "brother" Ryu's arms]].]]

* Anime/StreetFighterGenerations may not be fully canon, but damn it is depressing. Specially in [[spoiler: the flashbacks to Akuma and Gouken's more or less happy lives before it went FromBadToWorse]], and the BittersweetEnding where [[spoiler: Akuma recovers some parts of his humanity after almost killing Ryu in battle (and mind you, this particular AlternateUniverse all but states that ''Ryu is Akuma's son'')]] and later [[spoiler: the OldMaster that Ryu befriends passes away, and Ryu leaves after mourning him.]]
