History Characters / StreetFighterTheMovie

* ColonelBadass: Guile, though he's almost beaten by Bison's flying tackles and kicks:
-->'''Good Bad Flicks:''' [[OneDimensionalThinking Couldn't he have just sidestepped to dodge]]? I guess it's like the game and [[SNKBoss Bison's cheap]].

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Bison, especially with his "[[TemptingFate I know women and you are harmless]]" remark towards [[ActionGirl Chun-Li]]. He also makes fun of the one-eyed Sagat with an "I guess you didn't SEE that, did you?"

* ShockAndAwe: Bison uses this against Guile in their final battle as well as in the arcade game:
--> '''Bison:''' This is merely Superconductor Electromagnetism.

Kee Han the owner of the Shadaloo Tavern and is the top Black Marketer in Shadaloo City. He most lily was cut out of the film, but appeared in the comic book adaption of the film.

* WhipItGood: The Choke Whip arcade special move where she captures the opponent with a short-to-mid-ranged garrotte wire, which she uses to pull them over to her and strangle them.

* TruerToTheText: Several endings put the characters more in line with their game versions as Ken becomes very rich.

* TruerToTheText: Several endings put the characters more in line with their game versions as Ryu dedicates himself to the next fight.

* AdaptationalNationality: Bison is from an unspecified country, but is portrayed by the great Puerto Rican actor, Raúl Juliá, with no mention at all of the character's origins.

[[folder: Lab Gaurd]]

--> '''Zangief:''' You got... ''paid?'

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: More so than usual for Zangief in the arcade version, as he gains two new moves that revolve around it -- the ''Airplane Spin'', a command grab in which he picks his opponent up on his shoulders and spins them round multiple times to dizzy them (but do no damage), and the ''Flying Brain Crusher'', a Super Combo in which he does the same thing whilst leaping high into the air and slamming them into the ground afterward.

* MindRape: Used on Blanka to transform him into a killing machine. [[spoiler:Thanks to Dhalsim interfering with the upload, Blanka is able to overcome it.]]
* PragmaticAdaptation: Blanka was the only inhuman character in the main cast at the time with no clear explanation as to why, while Guile's deceased war buddy Charlie was only talked about and never seen until the ''Alpha'' series, which came out after the movie. The decision was made to combine the characters for the movie both to explain Blanka's appearance and to show Charlie's connections to Guile.
* PowerUpgradingDeformation: Blanka was just a normal soldier before being transformed into the Blanka monster similar to the one of ''Street Fighter II''.

* BerserkButton: It’s subtle but he’s [[TranquilFury ticked off]] [[TheFightingNarcissist when Ryu damaged his face]].
* BigNo: Vega yells this whenever he's [=KOed=] in the Arcade version.
* DeathByAdaptation: Vega, who's still alive in the games, was meant to die in the movie by being impaled on his claw. While the scene showing this was cut from the film, it can still be seen in the comic book adaptation.
* DragonAscendant: In his Arcade version ending, Vega becomes the new leader of the Shadaloo Tong and all its black market operations after defeating both Bison and his former leader Sagat -- where although he has to keep a lower profile due to his newfound notoriety -- he still competes in and continues to win his usual underground cage matches. This is averted in his console ending, however; Vega stays loyal to Sagat here after they escape from Bison's collapsing empire, and instead secures his reputation as Sagat's right-hand-man and top prize fighter in the Shadaloo Tong.

* {{Greed}}: According to his Upper Deck trading card, Vega would do anything for Sagat for money, [[NotInTheFace except having his face damaged]] [[TheFightingNarcissist of course]].

* TheQuietOne: Vega only has four lines throughout the entire movie. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot This is because Jay Tavare was still learning English at the time]].
* TheRival: To Ryu who had their first fight interrupted by Guile. They face off again near the end of the movie and Ryu defeats him.

* EyeBeams: Sagat has a variation of this as his Evil Eye special move in the arcade version. By holding down all three punch buttons and then releasing, Sagat lifts his eyepatch to project a short-range, wave-shaped beam from underneath it that stuns his opponent in place if they touch it. For a long time. [[UpToEleven And at no cost to his Super meter]].

* KnifeNut: Blade’s main form of attack.

* KnifeNut: F7 uses Blade’s knife attacks among his special moves.
