  • All Fatal Fury spirit battles have reduced jump power and are in Stamina Mode (excluding Kim's), similar to the Street Fighter spirit battles.
  • The Fatal Fury franchise is the first set of DLC spirit battles to not have its respective fighter appear in a spirit battle.
  • Fatal Fury is one of the only fighter-represented universes not to have any female spirits, the others being Yoshi, Game & Watch, R.O.B., and Punch-Out!!.
