today is they put the boxer as Mike Bison there would NOT be legal issues. just that Mike Tyson was so big and famous back then he would've gotten super rich, and not just rich or nigger rich... but Super Street Fighter rich
Cheap = skills noobs dont understand that and complain that balrog is cheap psss low jab + foward medium punch and they complain that tha is cheap. pliz they kno am coming with that but they are too stupid to find a way to counter it or to bait me same thing with Thawk, zangief, dalhsim, and Honda. i get lots of junk mail but they are so stupid they keep fallin on the same traps Poor NOOBs GO BALROG!!!
@urbanity2002 There was also the issue with it being similar to M.Tyson. (Mike Tyson the american boxer, and capcom wanted to not have any issues here so the name was decidedly changed)
@XxGonixXFAN I really don't see any two ways about urbanity2002's references to the characters being intended as any more than aesthetic (you will find that Vega is not merely known as "'Claw'-guy" to those in the know either). It makes things plain easier on anyone who doesn't follow lore, doesn't play more than casually, etc.
for those that dont kno or understand....in japan "balrog's" real name is M. Bison. But capcom didnt want a lawsuit from Mike Tyson because the names and persona of the figher was too alike so they changed the name to Balrog.
omg it is M.Bison's name because the original name of the boxer is M.Bison, but outside Japan they swapped names because of problems of copyright (M.Bison sounds like Mike Tyson). Originally Vega was called Balrog, M.Bison was called Vega and the boxer was called M.Biosn.
The reason is simple: Originally, the boxer was supposed to be named M.Bison, but since he already looked like M.Tyson, they feared a lawsuit, so they altered the names of the 3 bosses.
I will never understand that whole issue. First, M Bison is a lot uglier than Mike Tyson, and doesn't really look at all alike. But still, how is that grounds for a lawsuit? Sue capcom for what? People are too scared to get sued.
It was because of the game Mike Tyson's Punchout, I believe it was against Nintendo's copyright that they could take a similar character and use a similar name... so... that was kind of the reason. It wasn't because it was of his name but rather his name used in that game...
today is they put the boxer as Mike Bison there would NOT be legal issues. just that Mike Tyson was so big and famous back then he would've gotten super rich, and not just rich or nigger rich... but Super Street Fighter rich

Crashoverrideao 3 years ago
balrog is the guy with the claw (in japan)
This guy is playing Vega's theme (the red last boss dictator in japan).
The black boxer is called M. Bison (in japan), because he was supposed to by Mike Tyson copy (M. Tyson --> M. Bison). Fei Long is a bruce lee copy.
America didnt call the block boxer M.Bison because they didnt want to get sued.
hope this clears it up.

SparkX61 3 years ago 2
No this is correct, It's M. Bison's Theme. They had to swap the Bosses names in the American Version to avoid legal issues.
M. Bison (Boxer/Japan) = Balrog (Boxer/America)
Balrog (Claw/Japan) = Vega (Claw/America)
Vega (Red Suit/Japan) = M. Bison (Red Suit/America)
