It went further than just Daniel Pesina; Elizabeth Malecki and Kaitlin Zamiar also sued Midway and lost - I think Phillip Ahn may have been involved too. As such, they were all recast for the third game, with John Turk, Kerri Hoskins, and Becky Gable respectfully. Chris Alexander replaced Pesina for Johnny Cage.
