* It makes perfect sense that of the rival pairs, Ryu and Kazuya would be pitted against each other. Ryu is the undisputed face of Street Fighter while Kazuya was the original Anti-hero protagonist and face of Tekken. He is also a Mishima; the family that the majority of the plot of Tekken is centered around. The other perfect pair is M. Bison and Jin. Bison is the most famous villain of his series. Meanwhile at the time of this game's release, Jin, yet another Mishima, was the major cause of conflict in the latest Tekken.

So who better to be pitted against Heihachi Mishima, Tekken's original villain of the first game? That would be Guile. The Street Fighter originally touted as the main character, and indeed one the of only two characters with an actual grudge against Bison when they all first debuted.

* Having Bob and Julia team up, despite them not having any relation whatsoever in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' canon is part of an elaborate ShoutOut to ''Series/FullHouse''. You see, Julia's mother is named Michelle as in Michelle Tanner. Then we have Bob as in Bob Saget who played Danny Tanner.

* Why is Heihachi Mishima the only character who does not succumb to Pandora? Aside from being made of pure BadAss, the Tekken 4 storyline had hinted that he could actually be immune to such things (though, in that game's case, it was referring to Ogre's DNA and Tekken 5 cemented that he is the only Mishima who was completely unaffected by the Devil Gene.) The intro of Tekken 6 can also lend credence to the theory that even if that wasn't the case, he can resist it purely out of sheer will (such as when he recovered after being blown to kingdom come and smashed into a grave.)

* Why is Abel suddenly [[ManChild more childish]] [[CloudcuckooLander and kooky]] than in SFIV, aside of invoking RuleOfFunny since his partner is [[ThecomicallySerious Gui]][[TheStoic le]]? Think of it: not only Abel himself is [[YoungerThanTheyLook barely out of adolescence]] (WordOfGod says he's 16-17 ''tops''), but his whole life has been spent either [[spoiler: in labs (as either a clone or a subject for experiments)]] or in mercenary troops. It's no wonder that Abel goes goo gaa over petting bears or meeting [[spoiler: aliens]] or fighting other people - such things are probably dreams coming true for a very young person who has barely had ''anything'' similar to a childhood or a teenagehood to begin with!

* Why is Abel suddenly [[ManChild more childish]] [[CloudcuckooLander and kooky]] than in SFIV, aside of invoking RuleOfFunny since his partner is [[ThecomicallySerious Gui]][[TheStoic le]]? Think of it: Well, not only Abel himself is [[YoungerThanTheyLook barely out of adolescence]] (WordOfGod says he's 16-17 ''tops''), but his whole life has been spent either in [[spoiler: in labs (as either (whether as a Seth clone or a subject for experiments)]] or in mercenary troops.

** There were already some hints of Abel's more child-like and naive than one thought nature in ''Super SFIV'', via his rival fight with Fei Long. (He's a huge Fei Long fanboy and while fighting him, he would say things like "wow, I've seen all your movies!") Since this game takes itself far less seriously than ''IV'' story-wise, it's the perfect chance to Abel's less-serious character traits and run away with them.

* In both this game and StreetFighterIV, Ryu gets a few titles, as well as a few lines, about his liking of beans. At first, it just seems silly, but then you look at win quotes from Alisa and Asuka toward Akuma about beans warding off demons, and then you remember that Ryu struggles with Akuma and the Satsui no Hado...

* Ogre's text ending tells of him returning to his home planet, where an army of ''countless'' Ogre clones are waiting. Then it is told that the data Ogre gathered on Earth will be used to strengthen this army. It's quite possible that all of the clones were sent to other planets in the universe, defeated the best that planet can offer, and returned with the planet's fighting data. So by the time Ogre returned, ''they possibly have the combined power of at least an entire galaxy''.

* Paul and Law's ending becomes much less funny when you realise both have been doomed drift through space, stuck in the next best thing to the Phantom Zone. You know, that thing Superman puts you in if you've been particularly naughty.
