The "Raiden Punching Armstrong" meme refers to a clip from the 2013 video game, "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance", in which the protagonist Raiden rapidly punches the game's final boss, Senator Steven Armstrong, in the stomach to no effect.
The meme is often combined with the song "It Has to Be This Way" which is better known to most by its first lyric, "Standing Here I Realize," from the game's soundtrack.
Meme reviewer extraordinaire Aztrosist gives his thoughts on the meme.
