Balrog Vs. Mike Tyson

I have problems understanding Balrog.

Was Balrog "Mike" in the first street fighter game? There both boxers. Or is Mike other fighter who never show up again after loseing to Ryu in the Stree fighter I Tourment.

Mike was pretty hard, he can knock you out in 1 or 2 hits. So a fireball was the only way to keep him at bay and win. Never let Mike close in the gap or the game is over.

Game play from Street fighter I. Mike is there, so you can see Mike looks a lot like Balrog.

 

Mike from the first Street Fighter is Balrog, most of the characters in the first game showed up in the later games I think.


Street Fighter 1 was terrible though

 

The game was on capcom classics 2 for the ps2 a ways back. I fell in loved with it. I dont know why, but for some odd reason I just loved the game.

 

I prefer to use the Japanese names, despite owning the PAL version of SFII.


So Balrog really is Mike Bison. :bbb
