Nightmare Fuel / Street Fighter II V

Go To

  • The clown that grabs Chun-Li in episode 7 will give you a reminder of why people are afraid of clowns.
  • Zochi keeps a disturbing collection of amputated arms and is nearly successful at making Ryu's arm his next prize.
  • Vega sneaks into the gang's hotel late at night, kisses Chun-Li in her sleep and gives her a Love Potion that will ensure she only has eyes for him. When Ken realizes this and goes to fight him, Vega utterly dominates most of the battle, impaling and breaking both of his feet and clawing at Ken until he's barely conscious from blood loss. His theme is also very eerie, giving the sense of an unwinnable fight.
    • Almost as bad is that he's a Villain with Good Publicity, as the crowd is perfectly fine with him nearly killing Ken as well as others in lethal cage matches.
  • Dorai's assassination at the hands of Cammy. While Dorai is a capable fighter himself, he's easily caught off guard this time which allows Cammy to easily overpower him. She then ties her wire around his neck and delivers a Cannon Spike which sends him off of the hotel veranda. Trying to struggle free, he unfortunately goes limp and Cammy cuts the wire dropping him into a nearby truck. While he manages to ultimate survive, his body and the chilling lifeless expressions of his face make it impossible to believe it.
    • Even more gruesome is what she was planning to do, simply take out his neck with one Sniping Heel and watch as a pool of his blood covers the floor of his veranda. That would have definitely killed him.
    • Her beatdown of Balrog is arguably worse, and while he too survives, it's clear that she wanted to make him suffer. She brutal pummels him with a Spiral Arrow and a Flying Neck Hunt, and proceeds to use her wire around his neck. However, unlike with Dorai, she hops out of the windows and drags him across the room with him bleeding and painfully suffocating the entire time.
  • The aftermath of the first fight between Ryu and Bison. The energy of Ryu’s hadou was large enough to not only overload the life energy monitoring system, but also caused a large explosion within one section of the island.
    • The inside of both the monitoring room and the testing area are destroyed, but while Ryu, Bison, and Zoltar are all fine afterwards, the man in the room with Zoltar is flaccid with the last scene showing him avoiding his computer’s explosion, implying that the explosion from one of the computers in the room killed him.
  • Ken being held up in one of the rooms on the island, with a repeated cycle of struggling, screaming, and crying (similar to his brainwashing scene in the movie) in fear of Chun-Li's life at the hands of Bison, all with his pupils missing before losing consciousness. On top of that, Bison uses this opportunity as a chance to hold Ken for ransom, horrifying his father with a display of Ken chained to the bed.
    • The mere fact that his 17-year old son and his barely older foreign friend decide to travel the world just to fight random strangers not knowing what they could even come up against was already a red flag. The list includes ending up in an entire portion of a city that’s riddled with crime and closed off to the public, fighting off a crime syndicate that’s based within two countries, fighting to the death in a cage match with a highly skilled psychopath, and wrapping it all up with being in the hands of a power hungry dictator. It’s honestly amazing that Ken’s father even approved of the trip.
  • Zoltar demonstrates the power of the mind-control chips by having a brainwashed inmate kill himself by smashing his head into a wall repeatedly. The final blow even catches Bison, off all people, off guard.
  • Bison strangles Nash, Guile's friend, to death with his bare hands, then brainwashes Ryu and Chun-Li to fight their friends.
  • Akuma appears in the background of multiple scenes. To those who don't know him, he's just a recurring extra. But if one knows him... He's stalking Ryu and Ken around the world.
