In the graphics ROMs for Super Street Fighter II and Darstalkers exist unused name labels:

In Super Street Fighter II, a label for "Sarah" exists twice; presuambly an early name for Cammy.

In Darkstalkers, "Franken"; presumably an early name for Victor. (Also note the misspelled "Demitori"; the correctly-spelled version exists elsewhere in the ROM)

Good call on both ends, in my opinion. Is "Frankenstein" in the Public Domain nowadays, out of curiousity?

And "Sarah" just doesn't really work for Cammy, if you ask me.

This reminds me, I need to go through Street Fighter II (the original) one of these days and rip out all the wacky unused graphics. There are a number of airplanes (1943-style, IIRC), programmers' faces, joysticks and buttons (for some kind of tutorial?)...

I'm pretty sure the programmers faces are actually used in the credit roll (maybe only for 1 credit clear? Can't remember for certain).

Ah, okay, I kinda figured they might have been used somewhere. I'm quite certain the other stuff never shows up anywhere, though.

More name label stuff, this time in Vampire Savior:

Includes labels for Huitzil/Phobos who is not in the game, and Anita who's never actually been playable at all aside from Marvel Super Heroes where she's a sort of hidden bonus character.

One more Darkstalkers thing I noticed the other day; not a name thing, but I don't think it warrants a new topic at the moment:

What looks to be an unused projectile for Pyron. It exists in the ROM for Darkstalkers/Vampire and Night Warriors/Vampire Hunter (the latter seems to contain the entire graphic ROM of the former with new material appended).

My hunch is that this is what Pyron's projectile special (Sol Smasher) was originally intended to be, and that the big sun sphere was to be the ES version (similar to how Morrigan's Soul Fist and Demitri's Chaos Flare have bigger, more elaborate graphics for their ES versions). However, possibly due to his status as a boss-only character, Pyron in the first game lacks a special gauge and thus can't perform ES moves. With the distinction between normal and ES lost for him, maybe they decided to use the planned ES version of the move as the base version, and the rest of the series followed that precedent.

More unused graphics in Vampire Hunter/Night Warriors:

Found these after reading some posts on a Japanese message board regarding the location test version of Vampire Hunter. In that version, Donovan's Blizzard Sword special apparently had his sword becoming covered in ice and diving downwards at the opponent (somewhat like Anakaris's coffins). This is completely different from the final version, in which said move is a fairly standard snowflake projectile.

So far I haven't been able to find any related animation or tilemap data, so I manually put together this mockup:


On a minor related note, Vampire Hunter's graphics ROM also contains lots of graphics for Anakaris's servant Khybit which weren't actually used until Vampire Savior.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
