Street Fighter 2 by Capcom shows a completely different side of Balrog.

• In American builds of sf2, Balrog is a boxer who uses low blows in place of other fighters' kicks. (equals Japanese M.Bison) The announcer in the American build of Super Street Fighter 2 mispronounces Balrog as Barlog (game was developed in Japan; in Japanese, r == l).
• OTOH, in Japanese builds, Balrog is a fast but gay Spanish fighter who wears a claw into battle and bounces off the walls even better than Chun Li does. (equals American Vega)
