History YMMV / StreetFighterTheMovie

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The arcade version is notoriously considered a low point in the history of the games. The pacing is slow and clunky, the graphics and animation are completely hideous, the balance is some of the worst in the franchise, [[DamnYouMuscleMemory the special move mechanics are off]], and the game is rife with FakeDifficulty; given [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard the AI's tendency to spam impossible combos with impunity]] and immediately punish even the slightest mistakes.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Being a RecursiveAdaptation of a [[VideoGameMoviesSuck poorly-received movie]] (released after the movie had been released and failed), as well as having digitized graphics akin to the competing series ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' instead of the standard art style, turned off many fans of the franchise and contributed to the game's commercial failure.

* TheDanza: For his actor, Kenya Sawada, to the point in his canon ''SFV'' profile that every single one of his stats and preferences is lifted from the actor's website ([[{{Homage}} with love of course]]).

* NarmCharm: If you and your opponent get into a throwing war, counter your opponent's throws enough to hear "SLAMMASTER!" It's undoubtedly goofy but still a fun soundbyte.

** Zangief's arcade ending is really depressing -- despite [[TheDogBitesBack realizing that Bison had lied to him and accordingly defeating him]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he is still tormented by the crimes he committed in Bison's name]], so he flees the country out of guilt and is never heard from again -- especially since he was such a lovable oaf in the movie.
** Two of Blanka's win quotes are upsetting. One has him begging for someone to stop the voices in his head, while the other has him ask what happened to him. His ending also has Blanka [[NeverFoundTheBody vanishing without a trace despite a frantic search through the rubble of Bison's collapsed lair]] by Guile, with several reporting that they heard "the cries of a wild animal" as it fell.

*** Fortunately, he ''does'' get a happier ending in the console version -- where after defeating Bison, he pulls a full HeelFaceTurn. Returning home to Moscow to resume his wrestling career, he soon finds no opponents there are a challenge for him anymore; [[DefeatMeansFriendship so he seeks out and becomes a sparring partner and friend to Honda.]]

** The arcade version was the first game to give Vega a multiple flip kick Super Combo (Hell's Scarlet), which became a standard part of his movelist (Scarlet Terror) in other games, starting with ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha 3]]''.

* CultClassic: The console version.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: While he maybe seen as a joke now by a majority, including Creator/{{Capcom}} themselves, Captain Sawada is fondly remembered by those who've played the console version, thanks to his revamped moveset.

** It is the only ''Street Fighter'' game to have a "proper" Story Mode until ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV''.

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: While the arcade version is [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames pretty terrible]], fans were surprised to find that the console version was actually a pretty decent game, since it plays more like an actual ''Street Fighter'' game. It was also the first game in the series to feature EX Attacks, which would make it into the proper series and become a pretty important part of the gameplay in games they're included in.

* AccidentalInnuendo: When the numeral "5" looks like the letter "S" during match play, "5 HIT COMBO" has a [[IdiosyncraticComboLevels different interpretation]].

** The home version was the first ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' game to feature EX Attacks, predating ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII 2nd Impact]]'' by a couple years.
** The arcade version was the first ''Street Fighter'' game to have more than one Super Combo per character, as well as the first time Akuma was named in-game-- and the first time he was playable from the start instead of being unlockable or an unplayable secret character.

* HarsherInHindsight: In M. Bison's ending, his rule is described as spreading "like a cancer." Considering that it was well known that Creator/RaulJulia had cancer at the time...
