They could have just changed Mike Bison's name and left the others, but the morons at Capcom USA thought 'Vega' sounded better for a Spaniard's name (coincidentally, it does fit). The original final boss Vega (known as M. Bison in the West) was actually named after the star Vega (in the constellation Lyra) and had nothing to do with the common Spanish/Latin surname, Vega. Supposedly, they also felt that 'Vega' was a weak final boss name (but "Gill" and "Seth" apparently are...).
@davintheraven Well, though they named Hat, Vega in Japan, after the constellation, Claw as Vega in the West still sounds pretty neat for a Spanish character, it's a good coincidence. But yeah, Gill and Seth are still pretty pathetic for final boss names.
@XxJimmYb I know the US branch of Capcom often confuses me. I know why they changed it but it's still ba stupid reason to me. I also like calling Balrog by his real name instead of Vega. As with everyone else. Vega instead of M.Bison, Gouki instead of Akuma, and Bison, M.Bison, Mike Bison, Mike instead of Balrog.
@lordspectre Yes you are correct. Still as for today. It's been years since then.I wish Capcom would use the original names for their characters in localization. In some situtations that might make things eaiser for them.
Mike Bison = Mike Tyson , but since Tyson refused to be a caracter of street fighter , they changed the name of Mike Bison ( Mike Tyson) to Balrog, Balrog to Vega, and Vega took a second name ( Mr.Bison)
@Akabuena Capcom were worried about a lawsuit from Mike Tyson about their boxer character so thats the reason for the change around for M. Bison to Balrog when it was released in the west. And they thought the name Vega sounded better for a bullfighter in the west aswell.
*cries* This brings back so many happy memories of playing Street Fighter. Oddly, I also hear this song in my head each time I go to Vegas now as an adult (more happy memories!) :D
@xscreechmasterx Sigh. M.Bison was originally Vega in japan, Vega called Balrog and Balrog called M. Bison. This was changed in America because the name M. Bison stands for Mike Bison, which refers to Mike Tyson and Americans were afraid of law issues, so now we in Europe and USA know the original M. Bison as Balrog, and this is his theme.
The year is 2011, and we still have to explain this shit.. god
This is nothing against the video, it's just a general comment on who the f*** started to swap the character's names? i always wondered. Some retard, somewhere in the world decided to swap the 4 bosses names. balrog is the boxer, vega is the spanish dude, sagat is the thai bad mother, and bison is the final general boss. get it right whoever you are.
@L8P8 Balrog's real name is M. Bison in Japan. It's a rib to Mike Tyson. However, the American version switched some character names because calling a black boxer Mike Bison would get them sued by Tyson for copyright infringement.
mike bison is mike tyson. they actually put mike tyson in sf, the american dubbers just changed his name because no one wanted to pay mike tyson loyalty.
You know what always cracked me up? That fucking weird guy with the parachute-pants and the stove-pipe hat.. he looked like a gay circus conductor pimp. LOL
Thanks for the tip of the Galbadia Hotel, but they no longer have this version of the theme, anyway i'll use the one of your video to add it to my MUGEN stages of balrog
i love the song, and honestly i just wish that capcom actually made balrog good, i mean hes always been.....pretty much the worst character in street fighter, i wish he was actually good, but hes a great character with some good music
when i type that all i get are remixes and fight videos , maybe it has something to do with the country i have chosen because i chose chile and maybe its private for other country only
Balrog sucks, he is a fake boxer, but this theme is awesome
