Have you ever stumbled upon one of the many memes of the series “A Challenger Appears ”? You must have if you are reading this article. If you have ever wondered about the origins of this crazy funny meme, you actually might be onto something.

“A Challenger Appears” is a catchphrase that comes from fighting games. Some think it comes from Street Fighter II, while others say it first appeared in Super Smash Brothers. Who would have guessed?

In all three games of the Super Smash Bros. series, in order to unlock a character, you must win a battle against them. Before you begin your battle, a title screen appears announcing “challenger approaching” and a completely black image of the unlockable character is seen to the right of the screen.

Check it out! Here’s the “Challenger Approaching” screen of Super Smash Bros:

In any case, since its first appearance, it became quite common in fighting games, in the original version or similar ones, such as “New foe appears”.

The sentence appeared when some new player would join the fight between two other players, or appears right after another battle just ended.
