Profile
General:
A long time member
of Shadaloo, Balrog is a former championship boxer. Balrog's violence and
temper have got him permanently banned from boxing. Still seeking the title
of world's strongest fighter, he has since taken to street fighting. Balrog's
fighting skills have been noticed by M.Bison and
has since joined Shadaloo as one of Bison's henchmen, working his way up
from the lower ranks. Armed with the world's strongest punches, his ambition
continues...
As you may know, Balrog
is actually known as "M. Bison" in Japan, but Capcom changed his name to
"Balrog" in America, because Mike Bison sounds too much like Mike Tyson
(whom was obviously the main inspiration for Balrog's design).

Comment:
He's a classic Street
Fighter character that always fit into his series quite well, even though
he wasn't of the most exciting characters, since pretty much all he could
ever do was punch... Lately he seems to have become more comic relief than
anything else... Hmm, didn't the same thing happen to Mike Tyson? Kinda
ironic.
