Street Fighter: BALROG / M.BISON

mybearbrick · 12th July 2007

It seems that there are people who are still confused over the names of the four big bosses from the Street Fighter series. The four main villain bosses (in Japanese context) are M.Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega, in order of appearance. However, when Street Fighter II made it to the States, Capcom decided to reshuffle the character names to avoid legal implications. What sort? Since M.Bison is also known as Mike Bison, an American champion boxer in Street Fighter, which coincidently sounds like the famous american Boxer, Mike Tyson. Thus, Capcom decided to reshuffle the names such that they became Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M.Bison respectively.

I have earlier posted a gallery for GUILE,
Now I would like to share a gallery of Balrog (US) / M.Bison (Jap) for your viewing pleasure.
