The larger-than-normal white Incineroar represents Zangief, a large, muscular Russian wrestler who wears red briefs.
The stage and music track represent the Big Factory, a Russian factory designed similarly to a boxing ring, which serves as Zangief's stage in Street Fighter II.
The battle conditions reference Zangief's Russian pro wrestling moveset, where he uses powerful grappling and throw attacks in his moveset.
Comentário
As a pro wrestler, Zangief entered the World Warrior tournament to show off his strength and honor Mother Russia. He didn’t win, but he did catch the eye of a major wrestling promotion. Now the Red Cyclone can demonstrate Muscle Power to millions of viewers worldwide! His Spirit teaches the Overthrow Style, increasing the throw power, grab power, and grab range, at the cost of all other moves.
