In the original release of Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, Sakura's letter in Dan's ending states that "All your moves look retarded in addition to being completely useless in a fight." Due to the word "retarded" being more widely recognized as an ableist slur in subsequent decades, the game's re-releases in Capcom Fighting Collection and Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium replace the term with "stupid."

In Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, Huitzil has a fully-functional standing light kick which was never seen in any of the subsequent games. While the CPU never uses it, this attack can be performed by the player, although its slow startup and short range do not make it very useful. It can't be canceled into specials, nor does it have a rapid-fire capability. When Capcom Fighting Collection allowed Huitzil to be playable by conventional means, his animator Shisui said that this move was "so embarrassing that he wished it had never seen the light of day."
