    Those are the Japanese names.

    M. Bison (JP) -> Balrog
    Vega (JP) -> M. Bison
    Balrog (JP) -> Vega

    They are not wrong, just their original names.

    nope they are right? i believe this is the jap version... the character names are differnt, balrog was originally called M.Bison (in the north American release but capcom had to change it due to it sounding like Mike Tyson and with him being a boxer and all...) and i belive they call vega - balrog and M.Bison as vega (so confusing to explain!) then you have Akuma, who is called gouki...

    cant remember if there is any others...
