* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Feilin is a narcissistic, opera-loving girly girl, while Ryoko is a {{Bifauxnen}} tomboy who [[DoesNotLikeShoes hates shoes]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ryoko and Mizoguchi.

* [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish Surprisingly Good Everything]]: Every character except Marstorius, Zazie, Karnov, and Yungmie speaks in their native dialect. This is something ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and the other big-name franchises ''still'' haven't done even halfway well. ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', currently the only other series to have done so, only reached this status nearly ''two decades'' after this game came out [[note]]with the release of ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' in 2012[[/note]].

Nevertheless, it is mainly remembered for being '''THE''' ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' ripoff [[labelnote:Note]](which is strange because, outside of the typical tropes found in most fighting games of the era, it really isn't that similar, aesthetically, to ''Street Fighter II'')[[/labelnote]]. [[SerialNumbersFiledOff Capcom filed a lawsuit against them,]] but they lost, and the game was successful enough to get a port to [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super Famicom and SNES]] the following year. 1994 also saw a sequel titled ''Fighter's History Dynamite'' (a.k.a. ''Karnov's Revenge'', after the final boss) and a spin-off Super Famicom game titled ''Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!'' [[labelnote:Translation]]''"Mizoguchi's Moment of Crisis!"''[[/labelnote]] No new entry to the series has been made since Data East filed for bankruptcy in 2003 aside from a Japan-only crossover with ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' for cellphones made by Creator/{{SNK}}.

* ExtremityExtremist: [[KickChick Liu Yungmie]], the [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal token teen Taekwondo trainee]], uses kicking attacks exclusively (and is one of relatively few fighting game characters to launch her projectiles with her feet).

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: The worst the female competitors get are tattered clothing, a few hairs out of place, and bandages. The guys... aren't so lucky.
** Heck, the "hairs out of place thing" is ''all'' that [[http://www.arcadequartermaster.com/fh/fh_fei2.png Feilin gets]]!

* CanonImmigrant: Mizoguchi was included as a bonus character in the home port of ''VideoGame/{{The King of Fighters}} Maximum Impact: Regulation A''. In the backstory, his father is said to be the one who taught Lucky Glauber (of the American Sports Team) karate.
** Chelnov, from Creator/DataEast's [[VideoGame/{{Chelnov}} old arcade game of the same name]], appears as the final boss in ''Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!'', making him the other character in the series from an old DECO game besides Karnov.

* DemotedToExtra: Ray, Marstorious, Jean, Samchay, and Matlok in the Super Famicom spin-off. They're not playable fighters, but they still appear in the game's story mode.

* [[{{Expy}} Expies]]:

* MundaneMadeAwesome[=/=]RuleOfCool: Fighting Marstorius in front of the Fontana di Trevi? Oh yeah.

** How 'bout fighting Ray at the gates of ''the friggin' White House''?
