Title: Street Fighter confuses me!
Post by: Ununsed-Username on May 12, 2010, 12:21:44 PM: Well, I'm very confused by many things, but I'll start with this: How is vega related to M. Bison?
I'm going to ask more questions as my answers are answered.

Post by: ATiC3 on May 12, 2010, 12:25:48 PM: I think the name translates when it goes from Japan to America... Like Vega becomes Bison, Balrog has a different name too I think.. it's just something lost in translation.. I know they changed the names a little in that PS1 Marvel vs Street Fighter game...

Post by: Shingokusatsu on May 12, 2010, 12:33:32 PM: The names of Vega M.Bison and Balrog had been changed when the game was translated from japanese

Like akuma = Gouki

You have the bad guy of the story named : Vega (in Europe and I think in US too his name became M.Bison and everyone says Mister Bison)

His Right hand would be Sagat (his name didin't change)

You have Balrog (the man with the claw and the mask) renamed Vega (since his spanish the name sounds good) it's the second right hand of Vega/M.Bison

And last but not least you have M.Bison (the boxer named after the famous Mike Tyson as M for Mike Bison) renamed Balrog after that it's the third right hand of Vega/MBison

Capcom decided before they bring the game to the states they better change that up or risk a lawsuit. I really think they were more afraid of Mike tyson just coming to the Capcom offices & beating everyone up...lol

So all they did was change all the names around.

Japan.....Balrog changed to US..... Vega ( claws & mask )
Japan.....M. Bison changed to US.......Balrog ( Boxer )
Japan......Vega changed to US........M. Bison ( main boss )

Post by: The Question on May 12, 2010, 05:46:35 PM: M. Bison was supposed to be a parody of Mike Tyson in Japan. But due to legal issues, they had to change his name. So they swapped it with Vega. But Vega doesn't sound like a good name for a boxer. So they swapped it with Balrog.

Jeez Acey we all knew that already! What people don't know is that Balrog (the boxer) is Vega's father and M. Bison's estranged wife.

Post by: Vitamin on May 12, 2010, 08:36:38 PM: Now I'm even more confused. Too many names with too many switch-a-roo's.

So your saying Vega(the spanish mask guy) is M.Bison(the guy who uses physco attacks) daughter?

Title: Re: Street Fighter confuses me!
Post by: Vitamin on May 13, 2010, 03:43:42 AM: So that means...vega had a gender switch?
...so your saying vega is actually a female?
That explains alot.

Post by: Lord_Waffles on May 13, 2010, 03:52:27 AM: So where does Sagat fit with all this love?
Title: Re: Street Fighter confuses me!
Post by: Acey on May 13, 2010, 06:35:36 AM: Oh, Sagat isn't really involved, he more like the neighbor kid who visites each episode to eat their food and sit on their couch... kind of like Erkle in Family Matters.
Title: Re: Street Fighter confuses me!
Post by: DARKTALBAIN on May 13, 2010, 10:38:46 AM: Funny that you mention that. I have always compared Sagat to Erkle :DxDie

Plus his hatred for Ryu just keeps him around

Part of the source of that all started from not wanting to get sued By old Boxer Mike Tysons management in The US. so they wanted to be on the safe side and just switch around the names.

Mike tyson (balrog) "was" aka Mike Bison
