1* DummiedOut: Norimaro was taken out of non-Japanese versions, even though almost all of his lines got translated into English. This was apparently done because [[ExecutiveMeddling Marvel didn't want him in the game]].
2* ExecutiveMeddling: Marvel was completely opposed to Norimaro's inclusion, citing that they didn't want an "unpowered gag character" to fight evenly against their heroes. While Capcom eventually compromised with them to leave him a Japan-only character, Marvel still forced the more vulgar moves to be removed from that version, such as a planned AssShove attack.
3** BaseBreakingCharacter: It's worth noting that the divided reception to Norimaro was reflected internally within Capcom, too. Executive producer Yoshiki Okamoto heavily disliked the character and viewed him as an uncool publicity stunt, while other Capcom artists like Akiman thought he was a funny addition. Since Nippon TV vaguely promoted Norimaro as being slated to debut in "the next work related to the Street Fighter series", Okamoto fought to ensure that he would not debut in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' which was in early development at the time.
4* NoExportForYou: The Platform/SegaSaturn version was only released in Japan.
5* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
6** Creator/{{Capcom}} originally planned to introduce Karin, Sakura's rival from her ''Sakura Ganbaru!'' manga spin-off, as a fighter in this game before they did so in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 3]]'', similar to what they did earlier with Shadaloo Cammy in ''VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter''. [[DummiedOut The sprites they drew for her fighting stance were already inserted into the game's data]] ([[http://rq87.flyingomelette.com/RQ/PP/MSHSF/1.html as can be seen here]]). She was going to be a head swap of Sakura with boots instead of sneakers, bicycle shorts under her skirt instead of bloomers, and different gloves - likely meant to be a SecretCharacter in the vein of the other PaletteSwap fighters such as Armored Spider-Man, Mecha Zangief and Mephisto. By the time Karin was included in ''Alpha 3'', she had her own set of sprites and a different movelist.
7** According to some sources, Doctor Doom and ComicBook/IronMan were meant to be in the game, but due to rights issues could not make the roster. Cyclops and Omega Red replaced them instead.
8** This game, along with Capcom's other ''X-Men'' fighting games, was planned to be included in ''Marvel vs. Capcom Origins''. However, rights issues and the fact Capcom didn't see ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'' as "good enough," prevented them from doing so. Years later, the rights were negotiated and Capcom relented, permitting for the inclusion of said games in [=Arcade1Up=]'s ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' home cabinets.
9** Blackheart was apparently going to have a Hyper Combo where he summoned his father Mephisto, who appears as a draconic giant that grabs the opponent and breathes fire on them. Mephisto would make it as a red Blackheart PaletteSwap in the main game.
