There are portions of populations there with really really strong feelings about Japan (no comment on justified or not as it's not my business)

Only from the Asia versions which would be in these locations as the move sounds are typically shouting stuff in Japanese. I mean I don't know for sure but it seems the likely reason. There's a history of this in arcade releases for non-Japan Asian region versions.

EDIT: I think the people playing the games know full well it's Japanese and don't care, I think it's more to avoid trouble from randoms who don't really get the context. Maybe also to protect arcade operators who may become targeted the way Japanese owned stores, etc. are when there are demonstrations.

thanks for explanation , I never thought this was linked to political stuff. Always assumed Capcom was trying to save on storage space by removing these sounds in Asian markets lol.

They're still there and can be re-enabled in the SFIII games by going to the "voice type" setting:

They're just off by default in only the Asia region versions.
 
Also, it's specifically Japanese voices. Earlier, X-Men vs. SF was mentioned. Load up the Asian version and pick Cyclops, and all his (English) voices are there. Then try again with Ryu, and his voices are missing.
