And that’s why the nicknames “Boxer”, “Claw”, and “Dictator” are often used in international tournaments, to bypass the name change confusion.

Dude, brunographer, you serious? That’s common (gamer/nerd) knowledge! Just as theycallmetomu stated, the guy known to us as “M.Bison” was actually named Vega, he who is named “Vega” was originally Balrog and our “Balrog” was called M.Bison for obvious reasons. As Capcom got scared that Mike Tyson would sue the s*it out of them for creating his likeness and -admittedly cheekily- even naming it “M(ike).Bison” they did a switcheroo on the names for the international release. But I totally agree with Ryu, the international names fit much better than the original ones. Watching Street Fighter V I always realize how wierd it is to hear the bad guys call their boss “Bega”…
