"My hobby is to slowly peel the skin off of rabbits I catch, especially cute little bunnies like you. And my friend here is thirsty for blood!"

So you know, Japanese and English names are skewed. This is an English version homepage. The breakdown
for those who are unfamilliar with this difference is as follows:
English                                          Japanese
Balrog                                            M. Bison
Vega                                              Balrog
M. Bison                                        Vega

The reason for this is due to libel alligations that Capcom could be held for with the character M. Bison. Since this
character is closely related to Mike Tyson (Name sounds very simillar, boxer, black, etc. etc.) Capcom could be
sued. To get around this, they switched the names around, causing some confusion but nevertheless solving the problem.

What's in store for you:

Many Vega pics (mostly via Bishonen no Miku) (Mail him and say thank you!)
Vega strategy guide (eventually)
History of Vega (if I get mail requesting it.)
Sarcastic comments/quotes/etc. made by myself or Vega (various times)

Top 10 list of examples showing Vega is NOT A GIRL!
Sound Waves/Midi files if I can find 'em.

If Vega can jump two stories high ontop of a roof to avoid being caught, surely he can land from that height as well. He proved that upon hanging on his chandelier and then descending at a high speed and defeating his opponents. If he could do this, surely he could have survived the fall when Chun Li kicked him out of her apartment. Vega lives...

Top 10 Reasons showing Vega is NOT a woman:

Vega does NOT have two bumps on his chest, if you know what I mean...
Having a high-pitched voice doesn't neccessarily mean you are a woman. (Although debated w/ music singers)
Having long hair doesn't make you a woman. Ken did too, and he is also cool for this reason.
Vega likes women, as most normal men do. (See SFII Victory)
Men are allowed to yodel too. (Doug's principal from Nickelodeon, although not best example because he's a wuss)
Unless brainwashed, the only people on M. Bison's team are men.
You would think that with such vanity that Vega would wear make-up if he was a woman.
Women do not bullfight in Spain.
Although Vega has long fingernails, so does my dad. Don't confuse these with his claw on his hand, however. (Guiness Records also shows a male having the longest fingernails in the world.)
Females fighting topless would have some major drawbacks.
