Strider Hiryu/Trivia


 * Canon Discontinuity: The Capcom-developed arcade version of Strider 2 is a direct follow-up to the arcade game, and completely ignores the U.S. Gold-produced sequel, Strider II/Strider Returns, that was released for home computers during the early 90's.
 * No Export for You: The manga was never officially published in English.
 * Strangely inverted with the NES game. Its Famicom counterpart was canceled despite being heavily promoted in ads and previewed in several magazines and videos.
 * Short Run In America!: The NES version (as there was no Famicom release).
 * What Could Have Been: Strider Hiryu's return for the canceled Capcom Fighting All-Stars. In 3D.
 * Notably, his skillset would have been toned down considerably from Marvel vs. Capcom, with his Cypher only being utilized in specials and supers.
