Dan's ending is an obvious parody of the ending of the SNK game, "Art of Fighting".

Sunburnt (or Evil) Sakura has two separate endings : Kei chases Akuma and Sunburnt Sakura after they teleport away:

  1. Across the entire screen from right to left.
  2. Across half the screen before she trips, falls, and falls asleep.

Updates

The Japanese version features an extra playable character (his character slot on the character select screen is replaced by the MSH vs. SF logo on all non-Japanese version), Norimaro, a silly otaku (Japanese geek specializing in anime and manga) who is a huge Chun-Li fanboy as evidence by his reaction in seeing her before the match begins. While his true intentions of entering the competition is unknown, we can assume that it was to take pictures of Chun-Li and the many superheroes. He is voiced by the comedian Kinashi Noritaro and created by Capcom as being a joke character like Dan (modeled after a Japanese comedian Noritaro Kinashi). He was originally going to appear in non-Japanese versions of the game, but due to cultural differences and a reference to stealing Chun-Li's panties in his ending, he was cut out. However, his programming still exists in the ROM and he even has English dialogs in the game. He even has an ending with pictures, but his ending dialogs was cut out.

The US version has the "Recycle It, Don't Trash It!" screen.
