An [[Arab]] fighter named Siba was planned, and his character model appeared on some ''Virtua Fighter'' arcade cabinets (though, in some cases, Akira's name was placed under his portrait). Siba was originally to be the protagonist of the franchise. He was ultimately dropped, but later appeared in ''[[Fighters Megamix]]''. Two other characters were also discovered. One was an early design of Akira Yuki, who was shirtless and wore pants and shoes. The other was a military man named Jeff.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

===Story===
Once in the [[Shōwa period]], the defunct Japanese army intended to approach [[Puyi]], the last Emperor of the [[Qing Dynasty]] in their effort to take advantages. However, they were defeated by the Imperial guards who used the martial art called Hakkyoku-ken. During [[World War II]], the [[Japanese Imperial Army|Japanese army]] research the mysteries of Hakkyoku-ken to create supersoldiers, developing the ultimate martial art.

Approximately half a century has passed since then, the ultimate World Fighting Tournament is about to start, and all kinds of fighters from around the world engage to determine the world's best. Behind the Tournament, however, there exists an intrigue designed by a sinister syndicate.
