The American translation had some of the names mixed up, from what I remember.

I noticed that the characters Balrog, M. Bison and Vega are some times tagged according to the international naming and other times according to the Japanese naming. Which one should we use? Dou shiou?
From Wikipedia: "In Japan, the character of Balrog is named Mike Bison (マイク・バイソン, Maiku Baison, M. Bison) and is intended as a parody of real-life boxer Mike Tyson. However, when the game was to be ported for worldwide audiences, under the suggestion that the character's name and likeness resembled Tyson to the point of infringement, the developers rotated the names of three of the boss characters for the English localization. As they felt the name Vega was better suited for the Spanish bullfighter, they gave him the character's previous name, Balrog, and changed the name of the game's final boss (Vega / Bega) to M. Bison."
