** We don't know anything about Q, or if it's even a him, or if it's even human. He is a creepy looking figure in a trenchcoat with a seemingly metal expressionless face, he breaths heavily and grunts without talking in fights. Absolutely everything about him is unknown, and he could be [[Paranoia Fuel|anywhere at any time.]]

** Twelve is overall quite creepy on his own, but what really takes the cake is the ''downright chilling voice'' he has while copying an opponent with the X-Copy Super Art... It must be heard to understand...

** The kid who appears in Ibuki's ''3rd Strike'' intro sparring with her is a ''boy'' named Yuta Homura.

** While the story takes no pains to hide that she is, in fact, a girl, people not familiar with the series often mistake Makoto for a boy. But given that [[Tomboy|she]] is ''[[The Ladette|as feminine as a truck driver]]'', that her gi is quite concealing, and that the name "Makoto" is a [[Gender Blender Name|name for both males and females]] in Japan, the misunderstanding is almost expected. Her ''SSFIV'' in-game model, however, has the cleavage slightly more exposed, enough to avoid confusion in full. Previously, it was only that visible during her dizzy animation, in which the shoulder of her gi slips off.

* [[Vindicated by History]]: As said above, the ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' series was trashed when it was initially released because it was a complete departure from the considerably more user-friendly ''Alpha'' series, and some professional reviewers even went so far as to dock it for looking "[[Critical Research Failure|like an SNES game.]]" Eventually, about a decade later, tournament-level players latched onto the series as most mainstream fighting games began to resemble ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' more and more and they desired something a little more technical, and casual fans discovered the game through emulation and a Playstation2 re-release, and the series is now a mainstay at the EVO tournament.
