In this case, how come that the screen texts are all in Japanese and were (imperfectly) translated to English? Why didn't they just use English texts in the first place like they did with "Street Fighter I"? Also, if the USA was supposed to be the primary market, why does the whole name switching between Balrog, Vega and M. Bison exist? The name change was necessary so that in the west, the boxer's name doesn't bear any resemblance to Mike Tyson. If the American version is indeed the older one, why didn't they use that change in their Japanese version as well?
