Shouldn't the characters' -real- names be used for the most part, and the alternate "let's not get sued by Mike Tyson" names be the ones listed as an aside? This guy is Balrog. The guy in red is Vega. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.106.93.177 (talk • contribs).
- No. This is an English Wikipedia, and English names are used. The English name of the matador is Vega, period. Danny Lilithborne 21:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I highly disagree. Regardless of it being an English Encyclopedia or not, the goal is for accurate information. The name of this character is Balrog. It has been for years. Most people outside the U.S. know him as such. The original name should always be used in factual articles. Coolgamer 18:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, no. Balrog is his JAPANESE name. It's Vega everywhere else. Danny Lilithborne 03:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- And who created the game? Capcom of Japan had nothing to do with the name change. Coolgamer 17:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Can you prove that? It was fear of a lawsuit that prompted the name swapping. 1. Can you give a source that says CoJ had nothing to do with it and 2. can you show how that's relevant to an English Wikipedia? Danny Lilithborne 17:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Instead of drawing this out, I opened a Mediaton Cabal case for this, so we can get a neutral party to comment. Danny Lilithborne 23:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

- First of all. This is the ENGLISH Wikipedia, NOT the Japanophile Wikipedia. When people look for Vega (Street Fighter), they're gonna expect the "Spanish Ninja", not the "Shadoloo dictator". And secondly, YES, Capcom of Japan IS involved with the name changes, considering it was them that to recode the game for the American/Worldwide markets to integrate the name changes.

[edit] Image Change
Someone move the comic image. Vega is a videogame character and his image should be from one of the games. No need for fan art on this page. Mr.bonus 19:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
