Remember how we put all those military bases in Japan after the war for stability? Yeah, these are the Americans they met.

Have you seen bandits keith?
fakkom
Maybe they played too much xcom, when they were little.
Harbltron
Lol I was always so scared of the aliens I would just use HE charges in terror missions and nuke the tech I was supposed to retrieve
Frelock
HE charges were awesome! Just blast a hole in the side of that UFO and make your own entrance!
BeerFueledAdventurer
Well, SF2 was in 91 and Xcom in 94, so probably more likely the reverse
SoraHjort
They do it to the french as well.

Benimaru Nikaido?
Notuniquesnowflake
No, but according to this he's the inspiration for Benimaru: https://snk.fandom.com/wiki/Benimaru_Nikaido
mjangelvortex
Jean Pierre Polnareff from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Dragondraikk
Who Benimaru is based on
StanielRonathan
Polnareff from Jojo, but Beni is based on him. His files in the game data are often even named polnareff
YesiRealizeThisWasAlongTimeAgo
Yeah You’d think by now they’d know how fat we really are.
SpacemanSpiff1000
It's funny how all the fat americans act like all Americans are fat as if those of us that actually care about what we put in our bodies ¹

Street Fighter 4 had Rufus, I think eh was american right?
neonoptic
Definitely. He also talked way, way too much whenever he did speak. Think it was a joke about the US never shutting up and whatnot.
Notuniquesnowflake
How Japan viewed American in the '80s & '90s vs. how Japan viewed America in the '00s.
tzap
So do the Japanese in those games look just like you'd expect Japanese to look? Like Heihachi?
Dukenukemx
I expect all Japanese women to have large breasts. If anime has taught me anything is that Japan is overflowing with busty ladies.
jhezekiah13131
Not gonna lie. That sounds beautiful and it probably exists in an alternate universe.

You mean it isn't real? There goes my fantasies of a world filled will big fat anime tiddies.

Guile is an American that grew up in France/Belgium in this movie.

I'm quite happy that Raul Julia was immortalized in this movie and game as M. Bison, sad it was his last role.

They call it a hit movie because people hit eachother in it?
Karmak
Budget: $35.000.000 ; box office: $100.000.000 . So yes, it made money. Seriously people, hit movie means money, not oscar material.
koops
It’s a typo and they left out the s.
CarpoolTunnelSyndrome
Bold to call it a hit movie before release.
ScrapyardCosmonaut
Hold up now so it’s a PlayStation game with the movie graphics?!? How did I miss this
Timetoupdatemyusername
I was also blissfully unaware of its existence.
AnythingMuchShorter
Because it sucked, it wasn't developed by the street fighter team. It came off more like a crappy mortal kombat 1.

Oh yeah.. Ming na wen

Just think if they had made a Tekken movie game....
HaberdasherInGold
I haven't watched the film, but from what I've heard the game would have 5 characters and only 2 would matter.

Paul's hair is down, now, in Tekken 8, and nothing has felt real ever since
Ninjokes
You have military bases in Japan. Let's just say, this depiction is mostly accurate.
cadaverPANTS
add the hair from the left pic under the hair in the right pic & it will give you good idea of the interaction we had with the Japanese
MagicOrpheus310
Gyle kinda resembles a mushroom cloud...
hamberglar
The... war?
godskook
Ken Masters is American too. Guile is a US military stereotype, not a general US one.
darkhalfbreed
he's based off a jojo character, a german(Nazi) soldier to boot
godskook
I...did not realize JoJo was that old.
darkhalfbreed
When JoJo started Goku wasn't a sayian
Hyero
Guile is based off of Polnareff, but he looks like Stroheim because of his hair being flattened.
darkhalfbreed
Is it PolPol? stroheim makes more sense to me
LobcockLittle
I could never best my older brother when he played as Paul... Until I started playing as Eddy Gordo!
vudak
Block low and deathfist. Bye eddy.
HaberdasherInGold
Paul's little two-hit combo that starts with a low elbow shuts down a LOT of low combos.
LobcockLittle
That fucking deathfist! I learned quickly to jump backwards to avoid it.

AMERICANS DONT LOOK LIKE THIS?????!?!?!?
SoraHjort
Naw... you know those Hippies that the Americans keep complaining about? That's actually what Americans look like. Minus flower necklaces.
MickeyCallahan
Nah, we look like the people in Wall-E.
GracejDancer
Yes at one time we had giants
Jsupes
All I see is Polnareff and Stroheim
mastodoff0
"CEASSSAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!"
mjangelvortex
I heard a few characters from Street Fighter are inspired by Jojo's Bizarre Adventures characters so this comparison seems rather fitting.
StanielRonathan
Guile is definitely based on Stroheim; and over in KoF Benimaru is more overtly based on Polnareff- he's even called that in data files
Methaqualone
Yeah and they are French and German so that's not American
