The game features multiple named female characters like Chun-Li, Cammy, and Crimson Viper. They directly interact in arcade mode cutscenes and pre/post-fight dialogues, often discussing the S.I.N organization's plot or their individual missions and fighting styles, rather than primarily male characters.
