The song is heavily associated with the fight scene and with the Raiden Punching Armstrong meme (music audio shown below). While the song "Standing Here I Realize," better known by its first lyric "Standing Here I Realize," does not appear during the quick time event, it appears later in the fight against Senator Armstrong. "It Has to Be This Way" / "Standing Here I Realize" On February 20th, 2021, iFunny user ElliotRogerisAllah posted a GIF caption meme based on the GIF, speeding it up and captioning it, "Cyberbullies trying to bully me after I turn off the computer." The post gained over 80 smiles in one year (shown below). On June 4th, 2018, Twitter user posted the GIF to Twitter, captioning it, "When you start putting down money on student loans in small weekly payments." The post received 26 retweets and over 100 likes in three years. For example, on July 22nd, 2015, Pikabu user raf996 posted the GIF, captioning it, "when you're fighting your older brother." The post gained nearly 590 upvotes on the site.
Prior to February 2021, the scene saw a minor presence in memes online. The final boss fight of the game, a duel between the protagonist Raiden and the main villain Senator Armstrong, included a quick-time event in which Raidens rapidly punches Armstrong in the stomach to zero effect (scene shown below). On February 19th, 2013, the hack-and-slash video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, a spin-off installment in the Metal Gear series, was released.
