The artwork for the loser portraits feature dialogue boxes and Japanese onomatopeia in the Japanese version of the game. These were removed in the international release.

There are three Street Fighter characters that can be seen in the background of the stages:
• Zangief in the Moscow stage. (Zangief was born in Russia, and in the Street Fighter games his stage is also in Russia.)
• E. Honda in the final CWA stage.
• Balrog in the Las Vegas stage. (In Street Fighter II Balrog's stage is also in Las Vegas.)
