"Jefailey and The Baz are in the game based on Keits honoring kickstarter pledges from Matt and myself for The Baz, and Alex Jebailey's pledge for Jefailey. The character that you see here, is the result of my concept submitted to Keits, from his lines, his palette, to the backstory, and his moves, and the entire concept of him being "The Storm" and having electricity based powers and such, etc; which Keits then finalized mechanically for balance. I decided to request him based on the running character gag we had with Fighterpedia.

Fun Fact, the character from the old artbook wasn't even named Zubaz - the katakana next to him said 'Bullfighter'. Zubaz is just the clothing line they used because that design was based on the Legion of Doom from the WWE, and they often wore Zubaz clothing. We just started calling him Zubaz during Fighterpedia and the name stuck with the fans." - Woolie Madden
