History Trivia / FinalFight

** The Undercode song "Final Fight" is unrelated to this game... as it was in the ''VideoGame/SeriousSam 3'' soundtrack.

** When asked about her, Yoshinori Ono said Capcom doesn't have an official policy to what Poison's sex is, stating that in North America, she is a post-op transsexual, but in Japan, she is a pre-op transsexual/futanari/newhalf who "tucks her business away to look female". However, this seemed to have changed when ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' made some trap references regarding Poison in some characters' winquotes. As a result, Capcom received angry complaints from a LGBT group accusing them of being transphobic. Capcom would later change these winquotes into something less offensive. Additionally, Ono retracted his previous statement regarding Poison.

** For years, it has been speculated that there was a ''Final Fight'' animated series with Creator/TheOceanGroup doing the voice work much like they did for ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'', ''WesternAnimation/StreetFighter'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Darkstalkers}}''. Sites like IMDB even used to have a full voice cast for the show. It's uncertain whether the show never existed, a PilotEpisode was produced but went into obscurity like ''WesternAnimation/{{Battletoads}}'', or if the series was planned but never materialized. Granted the ''Street Fighter'' animated series did end up having a ''Final Fight'' episode but still.
