Is his name M. Bison or is it Vega?

>Balrog's name is M. Bison in Japan
>Obviously a pun on Mike Tyson

What does the M. stand for on our Bison?

Dictator.

>>377453483
I always thought it stood for Master Bison.

>>377453483
Mighty. He says it in his SFIV intro, how do people not know that yet.

Peeved Pedro

When people call him dictator, whatever. If people call him Vega because lol they are soooo used to the japanese names or whatever, fuck you you pricks

>Final Fight has enemy characters named and modeled after Andre the Giant, Axel Rose and Slash.
>None of them got changed for the export releases.
>Street Fighter II has an obvious Mike Tyson pastiche as one of the bosses.
>Swap his name with other bosses and make everything confusing for everyone.
Why?

>>377453483
Dunno where I heard it originally but I always thought it was Major Bison or something

>>377453226
Just be safe and call him Dictator, you don't want to choose the wrong name out of those two and offend him.

>>377453483

So since it has nothing to do with his name, what's with Boxer's fascination with buffalo?

>>377453226
ベガ

>>377455435
ever since first saw dances with wolves, buffalo have become his favorite animal.

>>377453226

Vega is the Spaniard because Vega is a Spanish name.

Therefore the Dictator is M. Bison.

>>377453226
I've stood by Bison ever since Dan's Ending taunt in Alpha 3.
>I don't care if you're Bison or Sheep!

>>377455435

It's a Japanese thing. The buffalo is seen as a powerful animal, like an ox but cooler. And they are cool. They trample stuff, stampede, have those badass extra thick coats on their upper body and some bad ass horns.

Driving through the midwest last year I got to see herds of both domesticated and wild buffalo. Fucking amazing.

>>377455435
I always thought it was just a play on raging bull

Mr. Bison

>>377456826
Isn't he Thai?

>>377453483
Major Bison

due to his military outfit.

>>377456991
Although he fights in Thailand, his nationality is always listed as "unknown".

>>377453483
I remember someone pulling "major" out of their ass in some magazine and everybody went along with it for some time

>>377453226
No one is bothere by the fact that OP's image has him dressed in baby blue for some reason?

>>377457106
Yes that's right, I forgot.

That doesn't help me though.

>>377457042
It's General M. Bison. in the movie.

>>377457202
its his alt color scheme in champion edition. well kinda, the blue is supposed to be grey. the artist fucked up on that one. I think it is actually an alt color in super turbo though.

>>377454716
GnR were probably too stoned to care and their manager too busy with concerts and shit while Mike's manager would be sue happy for anything that had his likelyhood.

>>377454716
because they didn't want to get sued

>>377457202
I do believe it's teal.

>>377457382
It's in Champion Edition aswel.

>>377454716
Didn't Tyson face a rape charge in the early 90s? They probably wanted to avoid that controversy.

I wish the eye pattern in the cape was carried into more concepts.

>>377457827
champion edition was green I thought? and I was wrong earlier, the grey I mentioned was actually in hyperfighting.

>>377455261

Correct answers

Dindt they call "psycho crusher" some other name in the american version?

>>377458357
booty blaster

>>377458357
yeah I believe it was referred to as "flaming torpedo"

>>377454716
Didn't he try and sue them for Mike in SF1, and they only got out of it because they no longer produced it? Hence the subsequent name change in SF2.

>>377458503
no legal action ever actually took place, they just played it safe when sf2 came to America and changed the name. for all we know, they could have gotten away with not changing the names.

What did they mean by this?

>>377457646
But why was Andre the Giant not an issue. I'm assuming it wasn't issue, but he got his name changed to Hugo later on.

It's Mr. Bison for me.

>>377453483
It's Mighty Bison
he literally says it in game. Do any of you faggots even play fighting games?

>>377460889
>>377458205
why would they abbreviate an abbreviation? If it is "mister", wouldn't they just write "mr."? its only one letter more.

>>377461178
No, I have standards.

Major Bison.

>>377455435
they have curly hair like a black person

>local tourney in America.
>live streaming with viewers predominantly in america.
>someone picks bison
>commentators still call the character "dictator".
Fucking faggots. Just call him whatever the game screen is showing.

Major seems like a lowly rank for someone who is head of his own criminal empire/3rd world nation.
