List of spirits (Street Fighter series): Difference between revisions

*The blue Zero Suit Samus represents Chun-Li, a nimble Chinese female fighter who wears a blue outfit, specifically a skintight one in the ''Alpha'' series much like Samus' own suit.

*Zero Suit Samus' frequent leg-based attacks and first battle condition reference Chun-Li's Chinese martial arts style, where she uses quick and powerful kicking attacks in her moveset, in particular her famous Spinning Bird Kick and Hyakuretsukyaku special moves.

*The stage and music track represent the Amazon River Basin, a jungle river stage in Brazil which serves as Blanka's stage in ''Street Fighter II''.

*The navy Meta Knight represents Vega, a Spanish masked fighter who uses a hand-mounted claw in battle.  

*Meta Knight's frequent aerial attacks and third battle condition reference Vega's Spanish ninjitsu fighting style, where he uses jumping and aerial attacks in his moveset to stay out of his enemy's reach.

*The first battle condition references Sagat's strength and offensive power in the ''Street Fighter'' series as well as his original role as the first ''Street Fighter'' game's final boss.

*The violet Ganondorf represents M. Bison, a muscular antagonist who wears a violet cape and uses the evil-fuelled Psycho Power in combat, similar to Ganondorf's darkness-based powers.  

*The Attack Power rules reference how M. Bison serves as the regular final boss in ''Street Fighter II'', who uses powerful physical attacks empowered by his Psycho Power.

*In World of Light, the M. Bison spirit must be defeated in order to access the Ryu fighter, referencing M. Bison's role as the final opponent in the ''Street Fighter'' games. Also, the Balrog, Vega, and Sagat spirits must be defeated in order to access M. Bison' spirit battle, referencing ''Street Fighter II'''s Arcade Mode where the aforementioned spirits are fought in that order and served as Bison's henchman (until Sagat defected).

*This spirit's Neutral type references Cammy's status as a brainwashed agent of the antagonistic Shadaloo organization until she broke free, joined MI6 and later became an ally.

*The black Ryu represents Akuma, a muscular fighter wearing a black fighting uniform who shares a similar if more lethal moveset with his rival, Ryu.

*The Defense ↓ rule and the first battle condition references how Akuma is one of the most powerful fighters in the ''Street Fighter'' series, who uses more powerful versions of the Ansatsuken fighting style empowered by the Satsui no Hado. The lower defense rule also reflects how Akuma typically has lower health values to offset his great strength.

*The Metal Shift rule references how Nash was killed by M. Bison in ''Street Fighter Alpha'' and ''Alpha 2'', but was later brought back to life by Gill's Secret Society and was given cybernetic enhancements.

*The blue Ken represents Dan Hikibi, a Hong Kongese martial artist of Japanese descent who trained alongside Ryu and Ken and wears a similar outfit.

*The stage and music track references Sakura's Japanese heritage, as well as her eagerness and desire to serve as Ryu's disciple.

*The stage and music track represents China, the country featuring Gen's stages in the ''Street Fighter'' series, which typically take place in Chinese urban areas such as alleys or ports.

*The blue Richter represents Cody Travers, an American fighter who usually wears outfits with blue colourings.

*The stage represents Skyscraper Under Construction, a skyscraper stage in the fictional Metro City which serves as Cody's stage in ''Super Street Fighter IV'' as well as the setting of Cody's home series, ''Final Fight''.

*The black Ryu represents Evil Ryu, the darker form of Ryu overcome by the Satsui no Hadou who wears a black outfit.

*Juri is the only ''Street Fighter'' spirit who originated from a 3D ''Street Fighter'' game, that game being ''Street Fighter IV'', a 2D-style fighting game that uses 3D models.
