Trivia

 * General
 * As with guest fighter tradition, the characters' stories contain elements derived from the source material they come from.
 * Exclusive characters are the only guests to not have any rivals. Likewise, Belial is the only Epic Blades character to not have a rival.
 * Originally, Guts from Berserk was considered for Epic Blades's guest fighter DLC pack but was left out due to time constraints. Only time will tell if he makes it to Epic Blades II.
 * Ash Williams
 * Ash_vs_EvilDead.jpg Campbell, being Bruce Campbell, reprises his role as Ash in Epic Blades as he did in other appearances with Ash. He is right now reprising his role as Ash in Ash vs. Evil Dead, a TV show on Starz which is set 30 years after the events in Army of Darkness.
 * Ash's story mode is a shout-out to Army of Darkness, which had a similar premise as his story mode in Epic Blades.
 * In the final boss cutscene, Belial shows Ash a glimpse of what's to come when he gets his hands on the Necronomicon. The apocalypse shown resembles the one that was from an unused ending for Army of Darkness.
