History Trivia / StreetFighterIV

** [[GeraldCRivers M. Bison]], [[MichaelMcConnohie Seth]], [[MatthewMercer Fei-Long]], [[BobCarter Balrog]] and [[JamiesonPrice the announcer]] went on to voice [[MortalKombat9 Jax, Kano, Stryker, Shao Kahn/Baraka and Noob Saibot]]. Funnily enough, Price does also voicework as an announcer in [=MK9=].

* TheOtherDarrin: ''IV'' has all characters recast for some reason, except Bison, Blanka, and Ken.

* ShrugOfGod: The ''Arcade Edition'' and the game's staff are insisting in every way possible the ambiguity of Oni's identity, he who basically all fandom has accepted as a new SuperMode for Akuma, but the in game material still says otherwise: the character is just named Oni, all of his available quotes so far bares almost no connection to Akuma aside from their power-hungry nature, his fighting stance resembles Gouken's more than anyone else, his face has minor differences compared to Akuma's (notably the nose), and the already leaked ending is even more dull than Akuma's as one cannot tell anything about the character by just watching it (well, except the fact he can destroy volcanos with a single punch and possess flight abilities); still it is safe to say that the logical conclusion is that Oni indeed is Akuma. If the game's staff happens to say otherwise someday, they better come up with a good excuse.
** [[EpilepticTrees Goutetsu??]]
*** WordOfGod finally confirmed Oni as Akuma via Seth Killian.

** [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha R. Mika, Karin]], and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Elena]] were considered for ''Super''. Series Producer Yoshinori Ono said that if DLC characters are released, R. Mika will be among the first. Elena ''barely'' missed the final roster for ''Super Street Fighter IV''.
** T. Hawk and Dee Jay were originally going to be in vanilla ''IV''. Both of them joined the roster with the release of ''Super''.
** Ono also mentioned that he wanted ''FinalFight'''s Rolento in the mix as well.
** Apparently Abel was originally conceived as a skinny, {{Bishonen}} [[http://kotaku.com/5380701/which-street-fighter-iv-character-was-this Judo-ka]], that was intended as "a character who [[DroppedABridgetOnHim could be mistaken for a girl]]."
** Concept art shows that Guy's alternate outfit in ''IV'' was planned to be [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]]...

Then, [=SF4=]'s art director suggested that Cobra King should be made overweight. The series of changes after that led to Cobra King becoming Rufus. According to [=SF4's=] producer, they used Rufus' current look because it would "freak people out," and because "over-the-top" characters sets Street Fighter apart from the other fighting game franchises.
*** The gi would later be used as an alternate outfit for Ken.

** [[JamiesonPrice The announcer]] (for ''Super IV'') is both the narrator from ''[[BoboboboBobobo Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo]]'' and [[BlazBlue Iron Tager]].
** {{Taketora}} is the japanese voice of '''Akuma'''.
*** DaveMallow is the english voice. Both of them also get a second role in the form of '''Oni'''.
** In the english version, Bob "[[{{Dragonball}} Bojack]]" Carter voices '''Balrog'''.
** '''English Cammy''' [[CaitlinGlass is]] [[FullmetalAlchemist Winry Rockbell]].
*** MiyukiSawashiro is her japanese voice.
** '''Chun-Li'''[='=]s english voice actress, as mentioned above, is LauraBailey, a.k.a. [[FullMetalAlchemist Lust]].
*** Her Japanese voice actress is FumikoOrikasa, a.k.a. [[{{Bleach}} Rukia Kuchiki]].
** Michael T. Coleman gives '''Cody''' a neutral-sounding accent, although he does occasionally dip into a more Brooklyn-sounding accent, as evidenced with his intro and some of his attacks (i.e. "Criminal Uppa!").
** In the English version, '''C. Viper''' is voiced by MichelleRuff, who played [[{{Bleach}} Rukia Kuchiki]], Arcueid and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko Littner]].
*** In Japanese, she's voiced by seiyuu MieSonozaki. This makes her rivalry with Chun-Li (FumikoOrikasa) odd as in ''{{Bleach}}'' they respectively play Sode no Shirayuki and Rukia, a shinigami (the latter) and her zanpaktou [[ShipTease who have quite a few "moments"]].
*** Since as already pointed out Michelle Ruff dubbed Rukia as well, it's basically possible to set up a rivalry of Rukia vs. herself.
** '''Dan''' is voiced by Toshiyuki "[[{{Onimusha}} Soki]]" Kusuda.
** DaisukeEgawa voices '''Dhalsim'''.
** StuartMcLean voices '''Dudley'''.
** YoshikazuNagano voices '''E. Honda'''.

*** HirokiYasumoto is his japanese VA.
** '''Guy''' is voiced by TsuguoMogami.
** In English, '''Ibuki''' is voiced by Kat Steel, who fans of ''ThereWillBeBrawl'' may recognize as Princess Peach. Just imagine the {{Actor Allusion}}s when she fights Fei Long (Matt Mercer) or Ryu (KyleHebert)...
*** AyumiFujimura voices her in japanese.
** AkenoWatanabe is the Japanese voice of '''Rose'''.
** In English, '''Rufus''' [[ChrisKent is]] [[DissidiaFinalFantasy The]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII Emperor]]. That's right.
** '''Ryu''' in America [[KyleHebert is]] [[DragonBall Son Gohan]]. Both of them also get a second role as '''Evil Ryu'''.
** Would you believe that '''Ken''' in America is voiced by [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]]? I guess ReubenLangdon has a thing for voicing cocky badasses in red.
** '''Sakura''' is voiced by MisatoFukuen in ''IV''.
** In ''Super'', '''T. Hawk''' in Japanese is [[StarWars Darth Vader]], and in English, he [[DavidVincent is]] [[{{Bleach}} Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]] and [[BlazBlue Jin Kisaragi]].
** '''Vega''', as of ''IV'', [[DougErholtz is also]] [[{{Bleach}} Gin Ichimaru]].
*** JunichiSuwabe is his japanese voice.
** In the English version of ''Super AE'', '''Yun''' and '''Yang''' are respectively voiced by ToddHaberkorn and JohnnyYongBosch. Yes, ''way''.
*** For their cameo in Chun-Li's prologue in the non-AE games, Ted Sroka (the voice of Dan in the dub) voiced both of them.
** In english, '''Zangief''' is voiced by Anthony "[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]]" Lander. Be thankful that he isn't dropping a Twin Meteor on your ass.
*** KentaMiyake is his japanese voice.

** Concept art shows that Guy's alternate outfit in ''IV'' was planned to be [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]]...
** Originally, Rufus was named "Cobra King," and was a [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/ba/Rufus-design1.jpg lean muscular black man wearing a stylish karate gi]]. He was still planned to be acrobatic fighter, but employed a fusion of breakdancing and kung-fu (breakung-fu) instead of his self-taught kung-fu. Marketing research on the preferences of American gamers had a big hand in Cobra King's design.\\
