You hit the nail on the head with street fighter II that's exactly what I was thinking of when I was designed the map and how we wanted to go across the globe. I haven't heard of 'The World Ends with You', but I'll have to check it out. We were trying to add a little bit of 90s hip hop styling with the record scratches and graffiti like black and white lettering aesthetic so maybe thats what you're picking up. We also tried to integrate the tutorial with the gameplay to not only save time but also reduce player frustration. Very glad you pick up on all that and thanks so much for playing!
