Human heads on robot figures? They're doing a better job than Star Wars Transformers that's for sure!

This whole crossover concept is incredibly stupid. I dont see any hardcore street fighter fans begging for action figures painted like transformers characters either.

I dunno, I'm not even that big into Street Fighter but a Chun-Li in Arcee colours would be great.

Wouldn't a pink/white deco just be Chun-Li's alternate costume?
For that matter wasn't Vega/Bison's alternate costume silver and black?

And to top it off, Japan's version was made FIRST. The American version is what made these name changes, so it's technically the Japanese version that got the names the intended way.Black Hat wrote:Sabrblade wrote:He isn't.

Oh dear. That's...not good.
Well, for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know: M. Bison was the name of the black boxing dude in the Japanese version. This was of course inspired by Mike Tyson. Anyway, the localization team were worried Mike might get a bit upset at being the inspiration for a villain, so they gave his name to Vega (the actual name of "M. Bison"). Vega's name meanwhile was given to sadistic claw-wielding lunatic Balrog, who in turn had his name given back to the nameless M. Bison.
So in summary:
Vega (JP) = M. Bison (US)
M. Bison (JP) = Balrog (US)
Balrog (JP) = Vega (US)
