I love the old characters and it's gonna be fun fight with them again. I hope they add in a lot more then just 3 or 4 characters.

But it's also funny cause people say that but then when the time comes people complain that the new cast never lived up to the old cast of some thing that is such a cult classic.

And it was all because Capcom was afraid of a possible lawsuit from Mike Tyson is they released Street Fighter 2 in the US with a boxer character named "M. Bison." That's so stupid, because parody is not against the law so Tyson wouldn't have even had a case.

M. Bison sounds a lot like Mike Tyson and Capcom didn't want to get sued by a large scary black man who talks funny so they shuffled the names about. Didn't happen in Japan since Tyson doesn't read or speak Japanese.

In Japan, talk about

Mike Bison, Senor Balrog, Sagat, and Master Vega.

Everywhere else, talk about

Mike Balrog, Senor Vega, Sagat, and Master Bison.

This avoids the inane "hardcore" monikers of "boxer" and "claw" (ugh).

@Bando: heh, nice. that's what i get for not staying around long enough to learn the super combos...there's that one move bison keeps doing there, where he'd just leap a little bit forward (over sagat's low tiger shot) that i dont even know, heh.

@TheCleaningGuy: damn, that one came down the line, didnt it? close match! its also cool to see since i used to use Veg..uh, Balrog in the day against my friend who'd use cheap-ass Ken. i dont recall the standing fierce claw doing so much more damage than a hadoken, but then again, its been a while.

The reason he is soft banned in Japan is because he has a really mindless trap.

Basically once he gets a knockdown he can flying barcelona attack and hit you while your waking up and you pretty much just have to guess what side it's going to hit on. If you guess wrong the move knocks you down setting the whole thing up again.

Guess right and claw bounces safely away while you take block damage.

So while he's not officially banned in Japan, he's kinda looked down upon because his trap is so stupid.

i hope there will be more new characters, oh and new characters that will be good. because guile is the only returning SFII character i even remotely like that doesnt fight in an ansatsuken (ken and ryu) style. i love chun li, but not in sf II. she was a beast in 3s though. cammy would be nice, and i know its wishful thinkin, but i definitely need bison. scissor kicks, head stomps, psycho crushers, and slides still help me stomp many adversaries in cvs 2. he technically died at the hands of akuma in super turbo, but who knows what theyll do.

M. Bison's full name is actually Mike Bison = Mike Tyson (that's why they changed it, in case mike tyson's lawyers came after them)

Vega WAS the dictator = M. Bison in the states. americans thought Vega sounded kinda gay, so they gave it to the metrosexual clawfighter instead.

Bison was known as M. Tyson. Not wanting to be sued by good ol' ear chomping Mike Tyson. They made, the final boss M. Bison(instead of Balrog) and the Boxer man Balrog.

Still, looks good, from what I've heard it plays good- this will be a big hit in 2k9 hopefully

If you're talking ST then yes Boxer and Sim are the best characters in the game. But Claw is easily up there along with O. Sagat.

In fact he's soft banned in Japan.

Bison was named after Mike Tyson (a money grubbing boxer, makes sense right?). Capcom being afraid that the real Mike Tyson would show up and bite all their ears off and kill them, so they rotated all the names around.

Balrog...not so much.

I belive it has to do with M. Bison being awfuly close sounding to M. Tyson and avoiding el lawsuitarino.

Bison sounded too much like "Mike Tyson" back in the day. Well, it's kinda obvious that they drew the character's inspiration from the earmuncher, but they figured the US would be more sensitive to it.

but this stuff looks good. wonder if they will keep the Japanese names when this comes state side (probably not, but oh well)

That would be somewhat jarring. I've come to know them by their English counterparts. I mean, I know it's wrong, but still . . .
