Capcom just sent these new images of the Sagat and Bison characters for its fighting videogame Street Fighter IV. Its release date for the arcades is set to July in Japan.
Mike bison resembles alot to Mike Tyson
and the english board found Vega for the last boss a little weak..
so they changed stuff around, they gave the spaniard the name for vega (because its slick and fast like the character) and they gave the boxer Balrog (because it just screams muscles)
they then gave M.Bison to the Dictator.
Personally i think it's better..the names suite them better like this.
But yeah..
thats how it was i believe

it was because Capcom was scared of lawsuits.

The art style at first I liked but not to a great extent, but these images really do promote the style alot better and am kinda getting the feel for it now, hope it turns out great like many capcom games have done this gen.
There was a new character called Rufus revealed looks like a reject from fist of the north star, ive lost most of my interest in SFIV now. Bring on HDremix!!

Commented on 2008-04-30 23:10:35But on the other hand, I just made a thread in the other forum about Capcom's outsourcing on this project.. so I regretfully agree.
There's still hope though, a lot of the play test impressions have been favorable enough.

Commented on 2008-04-30 23:17:50Vega is the Japanese Version
Balrog in europe was M.Bison in Japan (standing for Mike Bison)
These are just M.Bison(Vega) and Sagat
Vega in Europe is Balrog in Japan
Confusing eh ?
looks nice though

Hopefully it plays well :D
Commented on 2008-05-01 00:40:44Honestly, if they fix Chun Li's thumb I'll be positive on the graphics.
