Despite speculation to the contrary, Sawada is unarmed in the game. The "katana" shown was intended at the time to be a "motion blur"; given a conflict between the two Capcom branches, however, flicker transparency was not applied and it was instead left solid. His slashing attacks were intended to have an ethereal appearance to them, akin to the Hadoken. The designers argued for the flicker effect but were instead denied, and as a result opted for a look based on Mortal Kombat's effects at the time.

Dhalsim was never digitized into the game because of a number of issues. Along with concerns that the actor would not being able to perform the session, they believed that the players wouldn't like the idea of Dhalsim wearing the lab suit from the movie instead of his original design. Along with this there were worries that the actor wouldn't feel comfortable wearing that costume.
In the end, Dhalsim had a small role in the movie so they decided it would be acceptable to simply cut him from the final game.

The games developers were disappointed that Damian Chapa didn't resemble Ken, so they arranged a session in Chicago with an unknown individual playing Ken. According to Alan Noon; "he was a young guy barely out of high school I think, if at all, but he had martial arts training and most importantly: long blond hair. His costume was a red gi, though it did not feature the torn sleeves and pant legs. Instead, his long sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. The shoot went well, and we approached Capcom with the idea that we sub in second Ken for Damian Ken. Capcom ultimately decided that we had to go with Damian Ken however, and second Ken’s raw capture stayed on his CD. We were disappointed at the time, but looking back, Capcom made the right decision with Damian Ken in my opinion."

Guile was portrayed by both Jean-Claude Van Damme and stuntman Mark Stefanich. The reason for this was that Van Damme was only available for four hours, so Stefanich was used to finish the session.

Benny Urquidez was intended to play a new character named Raven (whose moveset resembled that of Gen). According to Alan Noon (one of the game designers and artists for Street Fighter: The Movie for the arcades, as well as the live action performer of the game's Bison Troopers), Urquidez was chosen to take part in the game as Raven due the game's lead designer being a fan, as well as having extra time to put in another character. Urquidez performance as Raven was digitized, but the process went unfinished due to time constraints.
