* ApprovalOfGod: The dudes from Capcom who're playing the Strider reboot [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5jwxY1fS7o here]] suggests that people check out the Ryu Hayabusa Vs. Strider Hiryu episode of WebAnimation/DeathBattle (though they do spoil that [[spoiler: Hiryu wins]]).
* CanonDiscontinuity: The Capcom-developed arcade version of ''Strider 2'' is a direct follow-up to the arcade game, and completely ignores the U.S. Gold-produced sequel, ''Strider II/Strider Returns'', that was released for home computers during the early 90's.
* NoExportForYou:
** The manga was never officially published in English.
** Strangely inverted with the NES game. Its Famicom counterpart was canceled despite being heavily promoted in ads and previewed in several magazines and videos.
%%* OverTookTheManga
* [[ShortRunInPeru Short Run In America!]]: The NES version (as there was no Famicom release).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Strider Hiryu's return for the canceled ''[[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover Capcom Fighting All-Stars]]''. In 3D. Notably, his skillset would have been toned down considerably from ''Marvel vs. Capcom'', with his Cypher only being utilized in specials and supers.
** Had the Famicom version of Strider released in Japan, the opening cinematic would have included onscreen lyrics to accompany the {{Animesque}} visuals as though it were an anime opening.
