* {{Sequelitis}}: Well, [[ContinuityReboot Rebootitis]] is more accurate, but the effect is there; as mentioned on the main page the film is considered by most to be worse than ''[[Film/StreetFighterTheMovie the first film]]'', because while both films were badly written, this one [[DarkerAndEdgier took itself too seriously]] rather than at least having the {{Camp}} value of the previous film.

** Bison looking and acting similar to Geese Howard from the ''Fatal Fury'' series. Geese had once killed Terry's father and in turn was unintentionally killed by him. Terry then raised the boy Geese had abandoned. [[spoiler:At the end of this movie Bison falls out of a building much like Geese, but only dies once Chun Li breaks his neck and she consciously does so as his daughter watches. Chun Li then asks Nash to take care of her.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A lot of people were annoyed by [[spoiler: Chun-Li snapping Bison's neck in cold blood with his daughter watching]], due to the fact that the scene could have been used to question the nature of revenge as well introduce another [[CycleOfRevenge twist into the plot]].
