    As you know, Vega, M. Bison and Balrog are names that switched way back from SF2 (if I haven't mistaken).
    Of course we're familiar the names that are supposedly wrong, but the names the Japanese version uses suits the characters more.

    And that would be:
    Balrog - Spanish claw man
    M. Bison - Boxer who bites ears off people
    Vega - Gay guy with a cape

    I agree. Just call them Claw, Dictator and Boxer.

    As for Dictator being gay, that is not true. The only gay fighter is Eagle, and also, possibly Zan.
