History Characters / StreetFighterTheMovie

* AdaptationalWimp: The original Bison was a Psycho Power controlling powerhouse. This Bison is a middle-aged man with no super powers who instead relies on his suit's built-in gadgets. Though given the casting, it's justified, as there's a limit to how much of this a terminally ill 54 years old actor with no martial arts training can do.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still the villain, Bison isn't as evil as he is in the games. In the games, he willingly made himself as evil as possible in order to harness his powers more efficiently. Here, he's you run-to-the-mill crazy dictator who want to TakeOverTheWorld and [[WellIntentionedExtremist may]], or [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist may not]] be sincere about wanting to turn it into a better place, as screwed up as he is.

Ryu Hoshi is martial artist who works as a con-man with his friend Ken. They are taken into custody by the A.N. after one of their hustles goes south and forced to help Col. Guile infiltrate Bison and Sagat's inner circles. Ryu stays in Shadaloo City after Bison's defeat to help with the reconstruction effort. Afterwards he leaves with Ken to continue looking for the next big score.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]]

Ken Masters is martial artist who works as a con-man with his friend Ryu. They are taken into custody by the A.N. after one of their hustles goes south and forced to help Col. Guile infiltrate Bison and Sagat's inner circles. Ryu stays in Shadaloo City after Bison's defeat to help with the reconstruction effort. Afterwards he leaves with Ryu to continue looking for the next big score.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]]

* ChestOfMedlas: Cammy has a modest strip of ribbons, indicating that she was awarded for campaign service, is a Gulf War veteran and served with UN (AN?) in Cambodia.

* ChestOfMedlas: It isn't surprising to see that he is awarded with Silver Star (US third-highest military decoration for valor in combat) and Legoin of Merit (given for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance).

* TheDanza: Captain Sawada is played by Kenya Sawada.

Cpt. Kenzo Sawada is a member of Guile's Allied Nation military forces. While Guile, Cammy, and T. Hawk covertly headed to Bison's fortress in Guile's stealth boat, Sawada was one of the A.N. leader during a direct assault. After Bison's defeat, Sawada was seen as a symbol of Japan’s Self-Defense force and the toughest soldier Guile has ever served with.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]]

* RealityEnsues: In the movie, Guile disobeying his superiors would get him court-martialed in real life. The console game’s bad ending has him arrested and stripped of his rank if he fails to find Bison in time.

* AdaptationalModesty: Cammy doesn't wear the [[LeotardOfPower thong leotard]] her game incarnation does in the film itself. It returns when she in both versions of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie''.

* CanonImmigrant: Sawada became a characters\ in the franchise overall, having his own profiles on the Capcom Fighters Network.

* AdaptationalWimp: Bison is from an unspecified country, but is portrayed by the great Puerto Rican actor, Raúl Juliá, with no mention at all of the character's origins.

* DemotedToExtra: The only other character from ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' (aside from Akuma) to not be in the movie and only character to be playable in the movie-based games.

* HeadSwap: For once, notably averted for Ryu, Ken, and Akuma since they used digitized images of the actors, rather than hand drawn sprites. The attires are still quite similar, but Akuma is differentiated more than usual by having [[SpikesOfVillainy spiked armguards]] and [[WalkingShirtlessScene wearing his gi open to expose his chest]].

* AscendedExtra: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig Zagged]] Benny Urquidez played a nameless thug working for Sagat that, had the character not been scraped for time, would ahem been a fully-realized, playable character.
