Even the original recipient of the name, Balrog, still contains bovine references in his moveset. Bison, the etymology of the word Bison comes from an ancient breed of bovine cattle and buffalo, known for their immense physical strength and stature. Without the reference to Mike Tyson as M. The evil dictator and head of Shadaloo is known as Vega in Japan and Master Bison in the U.S.The Spanish assassin/matador is known as Balrog in Japan and Vega in the U.S.The boxer is known as Mike Bison in Japan and Balrog in the U.S.They decided to rotate the names of three of the four boss characters in the following manner:
Additionally, when the designers presented the game to Capcom USA's marketing department, they believed that the name "Vega" did not fit the character it was given to. When Street Fighter II was localized in the United States, Capcom was afraid of a lawsuit from Mike Tyson over a character ( Balrog) with his likeness as well as a similar sounding name (Balrog's Japanese name being "Mike Bison"). His hair has also turned white due to the effects of Psycho Power. His eyes will glow pink when his Psycho Power is glowing.Īs of Street Fighter V, Bison's look has changed slightly, now wearing a trenchcoat over his outfit without the cape. His eyes were originally red both within and outside the irises (though the irises were still visible) after Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, they were changed to a complete ghastly white, a trait shared by other characters such as Sagat and Dhalsim. Bison has neatly cut black hair under his peaked cap, which he is almost never seen without (save for two of his alternate costumes) in the Brazilian Street Fighter comics (Editora Escala), he was instead bald. From Street Fighter II on (and in the Capcom vs SNK series), he appears with a much slimmer body, and removes his cape before battle. He sports a dark-colored cape in the Alpha series, in which he appears with his original body. His clothing highly resembles the Japanese and Chinese Imperial uniforms in red, as per his inspirational sources, with some possible influences from the uniforms worn by SS officers of Nazi Germany the winged skull on his visor cap and the first letter of Shadaloo on his belt is shaped as a single Sig rune. His general attire consists of a red military uniform with large silver shoulder plates, wrist bands, and shin guards on his peaked/service cap is the skull insignia of his crime syndicate known as Shadaloo. His shinguards are based off of the style used in the Universal Wrestling Federation of Japan during the mid 1980s. Bison and his design were inspired by Washizaki ( 鷲崎, Washizaki ? "Eagle Cape"), a villain from the manga and anime Riki-Oh and Yasunori Kato ( 加藤保憲, Yasunori Kato ?), the antagonist from the fantasy film, Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis (aka Teito Monogatari ( 帝都物語, Teito Monogatari ?)).

5.1 Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie.3.9.2.4 Street Fighter EX3 (in team with Vega).3.8 Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams.Street fighter the animated movie is first-rate animated action that does its source material justice and allows you to contemplate on how good that garbage live action version could have been. The animated fighting on display here more than makes up for the films faults like its annoyingly slow establishing shots that seem to go on forever. The two stand out fights are a masterfully executed battle between Chun li and Vega that will make your jaw drop and the final climatic battle of the film which wraps everything up in an adrenalin pumping fashion. The battles that these characters have are truly incredible to watch! Well thought out, well animated and just astounding to gawk at, they work just as well as the best live action fight sequences out there.

Its silly plot is full of holes and would make little sense to a non street fighter fan but not to worry, the story is merely an excuse for street fighter characters to dragon punch and shin kick the hell out of each other, and its in this department that the film delivers on a huge scale. Street fighter the animated movie is a well animated fight fest that serves as a superior companion piece to the revolutionary fighting game on which this anime is based.
