Easter Eggs

This is a list of Easter Eggs found in Superfighters Deluxe, Superfighters Ultimate and the original Superfighters.

The Funnyman's Skin and Johnny's Skin
In Superfighters Ultimate, you can unlock the Funnyman's skin by completing all the Stage Mode levels, and you also have Johnny's skin by default. In Superfighters Deluxe, they are both sentient characters with positions of power - the battle narrator and probable owner of the Pit, and a police detective.

Lord Pinkerton Freed
As seen in Escape from Precinct 9, Lord Pinkerton is one of Balista's three Hive Gang bodyguards. (The others are Quilhogg and Firebug.) He also has the exact same skin as the playable prisoner you free in the challenge Rising Storm. The plot of Rising Storm is you are on a mission for Balista. Coincidence?

Zombie Versions
In Zombie Nightmare, there are two bosses named Dead Cop and Dead Pilot. They look like Johnny and Jeff (respectively) from the campaign Escape from Precinct 9. Hmm...

A Copied Map
In the campaign Operation Sunrise, one of the chapters is called The Courtyard and takes place in a map that looks exactly like the Versus map Castle Courtyard, with added cannons and a changed background.

The MP50
The MP50's sprite in SFD is based off the real life MP40. The MP50 sees excessive use in the campaign Operation Sunrise, which is an escape mission through a Nazi complex. In real life, the Nazis used the MP40 as one of their chief assault weapons in the war.

Meatbag!
This Easter Egg has little proof to back it up, but it is as follows: The MetroCops from Sanctuary Survival, Escape from Precinct 9, Prime Time in Sunny City, and several challenges, when they have dialogue, often call anyone that is not a MetroCop 'Meatbag.' The likely basis for this insult is that humans are made of meat and flesh, suggesting they are not human underneath all the armor they wear. However, this theory is undermined by the fact that some MetroCops don't wear gas masks. On these occasions, they have human heads, likely disproving any theory that MetroCops are nothing but very rude humans.

Napoleon and Napoleon VII
In the survival The Last Stand, there is a boss named Napoleon VII. His sprite is extremely small, smaller than most characters in Superfighters Deluxe. There was a real life Napoleon, who was also extremely short. He made up for this by being extremely cruel and fighting several battles, finally ending in the battle of Waterloo.

Baron von Hauptstein
In the Tier 3 challenge Unearthed, you must kill a Kingpin armed with a sniper rifle and revolver. If you do, several Nazi zombies equipped with Spiked Helmets appear and chase you down. One of them is a boss armed with a knife, Baron von Hauptstein. When he appears, he says,

"Uhh... Frizz... liihe..."

This could be a reference to the boss Dr. Fritzliebe, from the campaign Operation Sunrise. Hauptstein and Fritzliebe both worked for the German Army in WWII (as the story goes) so perhaps Hauptstein is trying to utter Fritzliebe's name. Why? I don't know.I hope this was a very interesting list of Easter Eggs!
