Just saw the Hands-on preview of Street Fighter IV for PS3.

I don't know how many of vogons residents are familiar or in favour of the Street Fighter series. Anyway, ever noticed why the creators change the character names so much?

It's a bit confusing. Even if it's just for different language versions, but, why?

I know this is a totally useless discussion but can't help mentioning it as a Street Fighter fan.

Otherwise, the game looks gorgeous! 😀

Actually, M. Bison is known as Vega in Japanese version. Balrog was originally named M. Bison, but they rotated the names of the boss characters for English version because of copyright infringement concerns (M. Bison = Mike Tyson).

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
