this is clearly just a discrepancy between 80s/90s kids, and the younger millenials.
This is clearly you butthurt about being easily proven wrong. And like others said, Dragon Ball and kamehameha are older than Street Fighter anyway. Fighting game fans are a much more niche group than Dragon Ball. You pretty much have to be into fighting games to give a shit about SF. Not just games in general, specifically a hard to get into genre. There are lots of non weebs who like DBZ.

I knew what kamehameha was years before I ever watched an episode of Dragon Ball. Kids used to pretend to do it all the time. I never saw anyone pretending to hadoken and I didnt know anything about it until I was like 17
like I said, this is clearly just a discrepancy between 80s/90s kids, and the younger millenials.

Sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the evidence doesnt magically make Hadoken more iconic TC. You havent given any evidence to suggest otherwise. You are just arguing with your feelings and personal experience

You can be into them without being pros. And if you wanna measure cosplay there is a ton of DBZ stuff.

People acting like SF being referenced or appearing in everything but DB not being caused by anything other than TOEIs steel grip on the franchise and Capcom being the exact opposite with their franchises. Hell before COVID started DC actually wanted to do Superman vs Goku but TOEI didn't want to deal iirc.

DBFZ also outsold SFV pretty quick.

And let me just put this in perspective for the TC.

Bandai/Tamashii Nations has the SHFiguarts line, where they do collectible figures for both DBZ and Street Fighter.

They've done maybe 8-9 Street Fighter characters total.

DBZ is in at least the hundreds.

It's not even close. Fighting games are a fairly niche genre even within the realm of gaming.

As many times as you say these things people dont care as much as the media you mention wants you to. Youre living in a bubble when there is an entire world out there. Its over, TC. Take your ball and go home.

As someone already said must be a generational thing. There was a whole generation raised on arcade games and that's when street fighter was at its peak.

I remember a time you could barely find a place that had arcade machines and not find either sf2 or mvc2

Dragonball Fighterz straight up outsold Street Fighter V. Dragonball is bitch slapping Street Fighter at its own game these days.

Kamehameha is way more iconic, and that is coming from someone who played Sf2 and mvc2 at arcades and on ancient systems like the Dreamcast.

Dragonball z was up there trailing only the behemoths like Pokemon in terms of popularity, it outclassed everything else. Fighting games is still a niche genre and Street Fighter has never had the popularity to match Dragonball.

Damn I feel old if you think dreamcast is ancient.

And no surprise dbz is outsellling sfv. Sfv is like not that great. It's a fun game but they dropped the ball in a few ways

I mean it was released over 20 years ago, you'd have to be getting up there to not consider that pretty ancient, especially with all the generations of consoles that have come and gone since.

bro do't argue with 2000s kids. It's fucking sad how they think SF is niche but DB isnt.

choco for example is a huge goof

If you are like Gen X or very old millennial then maybe street fighter was bigger, but for most millennials and younger, DBZ probably is.

The hadoken obviously more iconic but street fighter itself essentially just copied moves from animes and the hadoken being a sort of copy off the Kamehameha.

Ryu's dragon uppercut is also a copy off Shiryu's Shoryuha from Saint Seiya.

Hadoken is not as iconic as Kamehameha.
