** Sean was initially supposed to the only [[{{Shotoclone}} Ryu/Ken-type]] in ''StreetFighter III''. If that would have remained, he may have still been wet behind the ears, but he probably wouldn't have nerfed in ''3rd Strike''. Heck, he probably wouldn't be treated like a joke.

** Bruce Robertson, the voice of Dudley, also voiced Gill in ''New Generation'' and ''2I''.

** Necro has the same VA as Alex in ''New Generation'' and ''2nd Impact''. In ''3rd Strike'', Lawrence Bayne voices Necro, Gill, Urien, and Twelve.

** Gill's original design was to have him be a manipulator of the forces of light and dark. However, Capcom's designers, for many reasons, decided to use the fire/ice alignment to showcase their spiffy new hardware. His secondary color is a reference to the original direction (but he still retains fire and ice control).
