I rather go with M.Bison because I grew up playing video games and I always go by the names given here in America. Besides, Vega just doesn't fit right for him.And i usually get my fighting games as soon as they came out, which is the japanese ver.,
so i'm kinda used to their japanese names LOL

That makes sense but importing games was probably a bit more unknown back in those days.I rather go with M.Bison because I grew up playing video games and I always go by the names given here in America. Besides, Vega just doesn't fit right for him.And i usually get my fighting games as soon as they came out, which is the japanese ver.,

I didn't get into imported games until I saw all the DBZ games for Playstation
Personally Bison sounds more villain-ish to me because Vega sounds like Vegetable but shorter.
That and Las Vegas.
It's weird though because I prefer to call Gouki by his japanese name. I was never really fond of the name Akuma. I know it means devil, but it doesn't really suit Gouki because of the angel sign on his back.

I'm in the same boat on this one, Vega really just doesn't right at all. M.Bison all the way ;D

WTF... It doesn't mean "angel", it means "heaven"! but it is also referred to as a symbol for "immortal","invincibility","day", and"ten". And either way his name means demon, Gouki = demon! L-)

Actually Megaman IS meant to be called Rockman. So the whole cast makes sense: Rockman + Roll: Rock'n'Roll (Duh) + Bass + Treble + Blues.

:D Yea, I was just going to comment on that, but I was beat to it. Megaman sounds fine, and so does Rockman if you know the little reference behind it with their names. Yes, Rock(Mega)man's name was meant to corenspond with Roll's name, hence "Rock n' Roll". Along with the others having musical genred names as well. Like he said, Bass, Treble, Blues, and so on.....

Lots of chatracter names were influenced by something related to music. And like people already said, names sound better if you know where they originated from. I like the name Megaman but prefer Rockman sometimes.

Akuma-Demon
GET THINGS RIGHT
Anyways....I prefer Gouki over Akuma
and I prefer the US names of the Shadaloo guys

Funny b/c i didnt know the names were changed for US players when I first played SF2. Me & my friends always called him Mike Bison. Then later found out its Master from the anime. We always thought Balrog was very similar to Tyson though.

And that's another canon. Master Gouken trained Ryu and Ken in the island of Goukentou and his brother Gouki killed him. Wouldn't make sense if his name was Akuma.
