Persona Non Grata - S6-E1

Audio problem: Diana talks to one of her sons, who's hiding inside playing Street Fighter II. You hear the sound effects playing that belong to the characters either Ryu or Ken: "Tatsumaki" (Hurricane kick), and "Shoryuken" (Rising dragon fist). When the shot cuts behind the son, you see the characters of Blanka (green guy) and E. Honda (the sumo wrestler). Neither of those characters can do either of those attacks, and there wasn't time for him to switch which character he was playing as. (00:23:39)
