Bison in the Japanese version, which is an homage to Mike Tyson, but in America, Tyson didn't allow the use of his name in the US so he's Balrog. Not sure if I'm missing the joke or if people still didn't know this by now. Balrog (US) = M. Bison (JP) Vega (US) = Balrog (JP) M. Bison (US) = Vega (JP) That's not what happened. What happened was the Tyson rape trial was ongoing while it was being released so they switched some names around to avoid the PR disaster about having a "rapist" in the game. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:877187554] in How many b...
