Long time Street Fighter players will recognize the presence of many of the characters from 1991's all-time great Street Fighter II, including the main trio of Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, as well as co-lead character Guile. International fans should also note that Vega, M. Bison, and Vega are the American versions of those characters, whose names are swapped around outside the US and some other territories.
There are also some rather obscure characters in the mix. Joe, played by Alexander Volkanovski, is from 1987's original Street Fighter. And Rayna Vallandingham's Juli is one of two sub-bosses from Street Fighter Alpha, along with her companion Juni, who doesn't seem to be in the film. But most obscure of all is Eric Andre's Don Sauvage, a background character from a single stage in 2016's Street Fighter V.
