I hope this leads to some sort of settlement/agreement where Tyson himself gets added as SFV DLC. (Also, wait 'till he hears about "Mike" from SF1.)  |

MT Mysteries needs at least a subplot where Mike gets Deezy to sue this video game character.

Did he sound off to anyone else? Almost like he wasn't all there.

In Japan Vega's known as Claw and Bison just goes as Dictator Not exactly, those are fandom names to clear up confusion because in Japan Vega is Balrog, Bison is Vega, and Balrog is Mike Bison. |

So, they named the boxer M. Bison as a clear homage to Tyson. They named the dictator Vega after the Star after the same name. But what kind of a name is Balrog? |

Balrog roughly translates to "mighty demon", though how that relates to a Spanish bullfighter is anybody's guess. I presume they just thought it sounded cool. |

Is there a Spanish name that could *kinda* sound like Balrog, just mangled?

Is there a Spanish name that could *kinda* sound like Balrog, just mangled? The anime SF2V gave him a full name...begins with Balrog but a Spanish sounding middle/last name too. Is it supposed to be ironic? A balrog is an ugly beast or demon, and Vega is, well, Vega? Or, with his mask and claw, "Balrog" is meant to look like a demon? Or....is it simply a reference to the boss from Strider (another Capcom game)? |
