Mike (Street Fighter)
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIK : Mike (Street Fighter)
Mike is a character from Capcom's fighting game Street Fighter.
Story
Mike was a former American heavyweight boxing champion who was banned from the professional ring for killing an opponent during a match. He participated in the first World Warrior tournament and was defeated by the eventual champion, Ryu.Trivia
- Despite Mike and Balrog having similar appearances, the same first name (Balrog's name in Japan is M. Bison, with the M standing for Mike, and he was originally meant to be based on Mike Tyson), and both had participated in the World Warrior tournaments in order to become wealthy, Capcom seems to consider them two different characters. This has confused many fans of the series. For a long time, many thought it was plausible to consider them the same character. It's generally accepted that Capcom didn't clarify this issue to avoid a lawsuit from Mike Tyson, and that the characters are one and the same (this is also the reason M. Bison was renamed to Balrog).
- Mike's stage is at Mount Rushmore.
- It has officially been confirmed that Mike was one of the fighters in the intro of the first 3 games of the Street Fighter II series. The other fighter was Joe.
