Line 25:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Ryuhaku Todoh, Maki and Eagle, characters who had formerly appeared in the first ''[[Art of Fighting]]'', ''[[Final Fight]] 2'' and the original ''Street Fighter'' respectively, made their unexpected returns as playable characters. Indeed, it has been said that [[The Unexpected|Capcom deliberately chose more obscure newcomers for that game.]]
* [[Assist Character]]:
** On the Capcom side, Yun is assisted by Yang, Morrigan is aided by Lilith, and Kyosuke appears with Batsu and Hinata.
** For SNK, Chang shares his moveset with Choi.▼

* [[Bowdlerise]]: The North American release is notable for its level of censorship not found in prior Capcom fighting games. Moves with "[[Would Be Rude to Say Genocide|Genocide]]" (Tiger Genocide and Genocide Cutter) in them were replaced with "Destroyer". Yamazaki's S&M move name was changed as well. [[Calling Your Attacks|Rugal calling out his Genocide Cutter]] was replaced with a generic grunt. God Rugal was changed to Ultimate Rugal. Due to [[Viewers are Morons]], Shin Akuma was untouched and became a [[Bilingual Bonus]].
* [[Dialogue Tree]]: The games are full of this, with stuff like Geese throwing a Reppuuken at Bison to blow his cape away.
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Zangief.
* [[Excuse Plot]]: As is standard for crossover fighters.
* [[Gainaxing]]: Mai
* [[Gratuitous English]]: ''Finest K.O.'', though it [[Translation Correction|got changed]] to ''Dramatic K.O.'' for the European and North American releases.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Market-Based Title|Market Based Subtitle]]: ''Millionaire Fighting'' became ''Mark of the Millennium'' when it was ported overseas.
* [[Medium Blending]]
* [[Non Dubbed Grunts]]: Like other fighting games of the time. Some special introductions are full of dialogue (and sometimes even [[Mythology Gag
* [[Original Generation]]: God Rugal and Shin Akuma.
▲** Sakura, thanks to the magic of recycled ''Alpha'' sprites.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Balrog's ending has him donating his reward money to a charity.
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Maki.
Line 48 ⟶ 44:
* [[SNK Boss]]: Predictably. Shin Akuma and God Rugal.
* [[Sprite Polygon Mix]]: The game has sprite-based characters and 3D backgrounds.
* [[Stock Audio Clip]]: Most characters were rerecorded, but others reuse voice samples from older games
* [[Stripperific]]: Morrigan, [[Vapor Wear|who's technically not even wearing clothes!]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Ryuhaku Todoh was basically a [[Joke Character]] in ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' with only one special attack. It took the efforts of his daughter Kasumi in sequels and then his big return in this game to show just how badass the Todoh Style can be.
* [[The Unexpected]]: While a few character choices are no-brainers (Rock, Haohmaru, Athena), others are more of the "Wait, ''what''?!" variety (Chang, Eagle, Hibiki Takane, Kyosuke, Maki).
** And then there's Ryuhaku Todoh, a character whose mostly been [[Demoted to Extra|a background cameo]] as a [[Running Gag]] after his first playable appearance, way back from the first [[Art of Fighting]].
* [[True Final Boss]]: God Rugal and Shin Akuma.
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO'', with many tweaks, and two new groove choices. The [[
