* PowerCreepPowerSeep: One of the biggest fears about the movie is that the Heisei Riders, with their multiple forms and {{Super Mode}}s, would make their fight with the Showa Riders a CurbStompBattle. While some fights are easily one-sided (Kabuto takes out Stronger with just a Rider Kick and Fourze uses Rocket States to defeat Skyrider), the Showa Riders are no slouches as X easily defeats Faiz (To be fair Takumi was holding back for the majority of the fight) and Riderman easily grapple-hooks and slams OOO out of a Tatoba Kick.
** Also, it becomes clear that lack of special effects doesn't mean lack of strength, and now that they ''do'' have the effects to make it look like what modern fans are used to seeing, you'll find watching the old Riders use the same powers they always had don't even ''look'' weak. Of course, we've seen such before (''All Riders vs. Dai Shocker'''s Rider tournament and the Seven Legendary Riders vs. Foundation X's cloned monsters in ''Movie Wars Megamax.'') ''All'' transformations, Stronger's electric powers, Skyrider's various special attacks and X-Rider's [[SigilSpam energy X-es that were once just the letter on a black background]] ''really'' lend themselves to the BigBudgetBeefUp treatment.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: One of the biggest fears about the movie from newer fans is that the Heisei Riders, with their multiple forms and {{Super Mode}}s, would make their fight with the Showa Riders a CurbStompBattle. While some fights are easily one-sided (Kabuto takes out Stronger with just a Rider Kick and Fourze uses Rocket States to defeat Skyrider), the Showa Riders are no slouches as X well, with even [[TokenHuman Riderman]] easily defeats Faiz (To be fair Takumi was holding back for defeating OOO via Rope Arm.
** Notably, in their respective series,
the majority Showa Riders were portrayed as capable of the fight) and Riderman easily grapple-hooks and slams OOO out mass destruction, with Hongo/Rider 1 himself capable of a Tatoba Kick.
** Also,
tanking nuclear weaponry unharmed. Thus, it becomes clear stands to reason that lack of special effects doesn't mean lack of strength, and now that they ''do'' have the effects to make it look like what modern fans are used to seeing, you'll find watching the old Riders use the same powers they always had don't even ''look'' weak. Of course, we've seen such before (''All Riders vs. Dai Shocker'''s Rider tournament and the Seven Legendary Riders vs. Foundation X's cloned monsters in ''Movie Wars Megamax.'') ''All'' especially since ''all'' transformations, Stronger's electric powers, Skyrider's various special attacks and X-Rider's [[SigilSpam energy X-es that were once just the letter on a black background]] ''really'' lend themselves to received the BigBudgetBeefUp treatment.

* SkewedPriorities: At one point in the movie, Keisuke decides to treat a wounded criminal that held Mari hostage. Fair enough when considering the situation, but then a group of police officers intervene to arrest said criminal, causing Keisuke to stop them via physical violence. Not exactly what you'd expect a Kamen Rider to do.

** Kusaka's death is entirely different from how it actually played out in Faiz, to the point that the "Flashback" is completely new footage. Though it's possible this is some kind of AU take on it.

''Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Wars feat. Super Sentai'' is the third installment of the ''Super Hero Taisen'' movie franchise, following ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiSuperHeroTaisen'' and ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiXSpaceSheriffSuperHeroTaisenZ''. It is the first of these movies heavily leaning towards the Kamen Riders over Super Sentai, rather than focusing on them entirely. Toei allowed the fans to vote for whether Heisei or Showa won, much like the multiple endings of the ''13 Riders'' special for ''Ryuki''.
