Streetfighter Mike Tyson

Although I played my share of Streetfighter back in the day (probably not as much as I would have liked), I admit I didn't remember a character named Balrog, known in Japan as M. Bison, who was based on Mike Tyson (Mike Tyson... M. Bison, get it?) (but named Balrog so as not to have to pay royalties).

The M.Bison I remember is this guy, portrayed in the dreadful movie by the late Raúl Juliá (who was actually an asset to the movie).

In any case, here, Youtube user Vogey mashes up Streetfighter sound effects with footage of Mike Tyson fighting. They blend very nicely.

How many things are there?!
