oh…great…an asshole…
did anybody figure out what all the SF full names were? were they ever given?
all i know is Ken Masters, Major Bison, and i forgot Ryu’s.
That’s a good question; the original quote said “shoryuken” not just “shoryu”.
For full names shatterstar, Ken Masters is one, but Ryu only had a last name Hoshi from the Street Fighter live action movie and the US cartoon I think, nowhere else. Bison/Vega aka the psycho power dictator is a whole other name mess by itself.
Balrog(Claw mask) does have a full name of sorts in the SF2V anime.
As does Cammy (who’s last name is usually ‘White’) where that got started I don’t know.
T.Hawk’s full name is Thunder Hawk.
E. Honda = Edmond Honda.
Karin Kanzaki from SFA3.
Dan Hibki.
the “M” in M.Bison (evil dicator/Shadaloo leader) stands for MASTER acording to some games (more expecific SF alpha 3), not MAJOR.
the M for the japanese M.Bison (American black boxer) stands for Mike, thats the reason for Capcom USA to change the names around because Mike Bison is a clear reference to Mike Tyson and the later real life boxer would have sued Capcom.
USA/Japan
Balrog / Mike Bison (M.Bison)
Vega / Balrog (with no official last name in either versions)
Master Bison (M.Bison) / Vega
Personally, I preffer the American names as much as a SF purist I consider myself…damn those are the names I use since I was 6-7 years old!! (Im 20 now by the way)
White as far as I know started in the English dub of the SF2 animated movie, haven’t found it to be official yet.
Fixed up the spellings for you above. Also Sakura Kasugano, Mike Bison the boxer, and R. Mika aka Rainbow Mika is Mika Nanakawa. I believe that’s it for selectable characters.
Edit: my bad, Golden Dragon’s got them all below.
thankx for everybody responses.
everytime i say R. Mika i think of a really ghetto-ass black girl…
i forgot about Jap-to-Eng names cuz a few of the characters dont all share there original names. ex. M. Bison/ Balrog.
thankx again.
about the “Cammy White” thing, I’m pretty sure its also stated by Chun-Li in the Japanese version of SF2 animated movie, I own that specific version along with the english dub but Im almost sure its on the japanese version too. I’ll check it out later and I’ll post about it.
You’re right, it is in the Japanese version also, but here’s the kicker: in the credits, where there’s Edmond Honda and Thunder Hawk, she’s only Cammy.

US vega - Balrog Fabio la Cerda in japan
Cody Travers
Cody’s last name is Capcom of America though.
I wouldn’t consider it canon or official.
Balrog/Vega Fabio La Cerda isn’t canon.
As for Cody Travers only time will tell if Capcom Japan will take it as canon.
Cody Travers? What is he supposed to be, a cajun?
I doubt Capcom cares about last names…
I found it! Check it out here, first b&w pic from the top:

Hahahahaha. You dummy, that was Balrog’s last name only in that awful SF2V anime series. Travers could in fact be Cody’s official last name, but it’s kinda’ hard to say, since FF Streetwise is a Capcom USA creation/production.
