Twelve was SUPPOSED to have just been splattered and gone on the first panel of this page so the team could move on with their life. But it didn't quite turn out that way.

You may notice at one point Skeets suffers the infamous "2-D Curse"; his unarmored arm switches to the other hand.

With the exception of Gill from Street Fighter III, that was a fairly common issue in Capcom games.

For example, that's why they changed (SSF2) Dee Jay's pants to say "Maximum" instead of "Mantis" like they'd originally planned. Didn't want to spend the effort to create TWO sets of sprites for both directions.

… and that's the Sprite History Lesson for the day. Or something. :)
