RyuKen's Bizarre Adventure: How JoJo influenced Street Fighter
#2
2. Rose from the Alpha series was inspired by Lisa Lisa: Rose's outfit is almost identical to Lisa Lisa's and both share a similar fighting style that consists of channeling energy into a scarf, both characters are also known for enjoying baths . In addition, Rose's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2 is Venice, which is the same city where Joseph Joestar meets Lisa Lisa in the story.

In this video by Capcom UK, they admit that Rose is inspired by Lisa Lisa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epRNJVK5yNw#t=1m15s

EDIT:
Rose's Soul Drain move is inspired by a scene in Jojo where Lisa Lisa puts a breathing mask on Joseph Joestar.

Here's a comparison pic, taken from JoJo wiki:

The full scene of Lisa Lisa putting the breathing mask on Joseph can be seen on the previously mentioned "Lisa Lisa's introduction" (start watching at 1:56).


3. Juri Han from Street Fighter IV was inspired by Jolyne Kujo/Cujoh, aspects of Juri's design, such as her hair and chestwear, are resmincent of Jolyne. Along with this, Juri has a spider motif and cleaves a butterfly in her official artwork, while Jolyne has a butterfly motif and spiderweb-patterned clothes, her Stand also turns her body into threads and webs. Both characters also use the same "ora ora ora" battle cry.

Juri's official artwork:

4. The fourth one is Guile, thought I don't think it needs to be here. That one has a different source other than this thread. But in short, he was inspired by both Polnareff and Stroheim, with his name coming from J. Geil.
