According to Ayano Koshiro, all the visuals for the characters and their moves were inspired by having played Street Fighter II with her brother, Yuzo.
"I’m sure you’ve played Street Fighter II—my brother and I did too. We liked it so much we bought a cabinet and had it installed in the office at Ancient. My brother and I liked the way they fought in SFII, and between the two of us, a shared vision of the fighting of Streets of Rage 2 arose: two jabs, followed by a straight punch, then some heavy hit, and the enemy goes flying! That kind of flow had to be in there."

According to Ayano Koshiro, Adam did not turn for the sequel because he didn't have a special play style compared to Axel and Blaze.
"You had Axel, your standard fighter, then Blaze, the speedy character. But there was also Adam in the first game…. but Adam had no real speciality… (laughs) So he was out. (laughs)"
