Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Collab Announced, With More Pictures!

Official site for the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition collab is up, with the collab date and more characters shown!


Long pic.

On the Pre-7th Anniversary Stream we only saw Ryu and Chun Li. There’re much more to this!

Information on some name differences:

Some NA players may notice that some of the names for certain characters have been swapped. This is normal for Japan!

When Street Fighter II was localized in the United States, Capcom was afraid of a lawsuit from Mike Tyson over a character with his likeness as well as a similar sounding name (his Japanese name being “Mike Bison”).

Additionally, when the designers presented the game to Capcom USA’s marketing department, they believed that the name “Vega” did not fit the character it was given to. They decided to rotate the names of three of the four boss characters in the following manner:

  • The boxer is known as M. Bison in Japan and Balrog in the U.S.
  • The Spanish assassin/bullfighter is known as Balrog in Japan and Vega in the U.S.
  • The evil dictator and head of Shadaloo is known as Vega in Japan and M. Bison in the U.S.

When/if the NA server get’s this collab, we can expect the name to match that region.
