History Trivia / StreetFighter

* SequelGap: There's been some sizable gaps between the numbered installments since the release of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', going by the initial releases.

This of course ignores the [[UpdatedRerelease updated releases]], {{Downloadable|Content}} {{Expansion Pack}}s, games like the ''Alpha'' and ''EX'' series, and the crossovers where the ''Street Fighter'' cast made an appearance.

** First up, is '''Ryu'''. There's the [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden most obvious one]].

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: There's a reason why Fei Long is not a playable character in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'': The [[https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2022/may/08/sf5-composer-fei-long-never/ Lee family is cracking down]] on the BruceLeeClone trope and humorous or otherwise not-honorable portrayals of his likeness and character. The development team wasn't allowed to include him, and he will not be usable again unless they can retool the character to meet the Lee family's new character standards.

* FanNickname: Due to [[DubNameChange their names being shuffled depending on the country]], Balrog, Vega and M. Bison are often referred to as Boxer, Claw and Dictator to maintain consistency between regions.

** Damian Chapa only did the film because he wanted to work with Juliá, and his son was a fan of the games.

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: TheStinger showing Bison's survival was omitted from theatrical prints in light of Raul Julia's death. It was added back in for video and TV versions.

** De Souza only wanted to use seven characters from ''Street Fighter II'' in order to ensure a tighter, more coherent script. Capcom instead forced him to include nearly everyone from the game, despite it needlessly complicating the story.

* Wes Studi is one of the few principal actors with no OldShame feelings; he took the role excited to play a kickboxer and loved training with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez.
