      Good show. A couple things you mentioned about Street Fighter 4. To clear it up.
      US Balrog is not Vega in Japan. He is M.Bison.

      (US)M.Bison = (Jap)Vega = (International)Dictator
      (US)Vega = (Jap)Balrog = (International)Claw
      (US)Balrog = (Jap)M.Bison = (International)Boxer
      (US)Akuma = (Jap)Gouki

      Some of the characters in the Street Fighter universe were meant to be kind of a parody of real-life celebrities. Fei Long was meant to symbolize Bruce Lee. M.Bison(Mike Bison)(Boxer) meant to be a parody of Mike Tyson.

      The reasons the names were switched around and changed, is because in our country, names like Vega for the final boss sounded weak. So Vega was given to the weak Spanish character (Claw). M.Bison(Dictator) was thought to stand for Master Bison, which sounded more powerful and was given to the final boss. Where as Gouki sounded too heroic for a demonic(evilish) character, they gave Gouki the name “Akuma” which means demon.

      Enjoyed the show. Terri did an awesome job on the podcast. She added a little less geeky/hardcore side to the podcast ( no offense) :) . You guys should have her on more often.

      Thanks again.
