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}}
