* IKnewIt: When SNK announced that it was getting a crossover character from ''Guilty Gear'', pretty much '''''everyone''''' knew it was going to be Baiken, owing to her samurai motif and how easily she could fit within the setting. Come months later, and it was indeed confirmed to be Baiken.

** [[https://www.polygon.com/2017/4/10/15223966/the-making-of-samurai-shodown According to the series' original planner and director Yasushi Adachi]], ''Samurai Shodown'' was inspired by other early 90s fighting games like ''Videogame/StreetFighterII'' and ''Videogame/MortalKombat1992''. The ''Mortal Kombat'' influence should come as no surprise, since ''Samurai'' was one of the first Japanese fighting games to feature in-game blood and gorey finishing moves.

** Gen-An shares his surname with [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Mai]] [[VideoGame/FatalFury Shiranui]]. Whether or not they're related is something [[FlipFlopOfGod the writers can't agree on]].
** The Indian children's cartoon ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' features a character named Cham Cham. He's literally an [[AnthropomorphicFood anthropomorphic cham cham]] (a popular Bengali treat), unlike ''Samurai Showdown'''s Cham Cham.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Tam Tam and Cham Cham. As mentioned under AmbiguouslyBrown on the main work page, the two siblings were said to be from South America but borrowed cultural aspects from across the Americas and even Africa and Australia. ''Samurai Shodown'' (2019) game retcons them to be specifically Mayan, then also changed Cham Cham's pelt from being a tiger's to a spotted cat's. Being Mayan coincidentally solves some other issues, as wearing jaguar skins, teeth, and claws was often done by the ruling class or by great warriors and hunters. Cham Cham and Tam Tam also bear some vague resemblance to the Maya Hero Twins, with Cham Cham easily lining up with Xbalanque who was physically cat-like, and turning their siblings into monkeys being similar to Tam Tam's fate in Samurai Shodown II. Even Cham Cham's boomerang isn't impossible to believe now, as some civilizations in the North American Southwest actually used them for hunting, and that isn't too far from Central America for her to have believably found one. Cham Cham's skin is also a bit darker now (more so in the artwork). Overall, while still fantastic {{Mayincatec}} characters, the retcons in ''Samurai Shodown'' (2019) make them less generically "tribal".
