Get ready, cause this ain't funny, my name is B0oGiE and i'm about to get money...

A few people have asked about this before, so here we go. In japan the original names for the 4 bosses of Street Fighter were this (in order) Mike Bison, Balrog, Sagat, and Vega. Now originally, Mike Bison (the boxer) was a play on Mike Tyson, but, capcom didn't want to go through any lawsuits and court things, they decided to switch the names around.
So, they had to change the names around. First was Mike Bison. Now I'm not exactly sure why they did it this way, but this much is known. The definition for vega is: Ve
