Mike Tyson for the first time ever sees Balrog from street fighter

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

I mean..
Mike was a character in Street Fighter 1
Then Capcom..
Changed the names around for the US release of SFII..
But I could see Mike not knowing..
If you were alive and watched his fights in that time...
He had a lot of shyt going on
Then he caught that case and Nintendo took him out of his own game

He only looked like Mike in the OG SF II. They changed his portrait in CE and he looked nothing like Mike after that

When Mike Tyson became World Champion, adults didn't really play video games. That didn't really start being normal until the 1990s.

It's believable.

esp with his lawyers at the time.

and the fact he only signed like a 3 year deal for Punchout.

Mike got some CTE....I mean he was a boxer.

Mike was several years into his prison sentence when that game dropped and the game was several years old when he came home. The more recent versions that were out when he came out didn't even have Balrog in it. The SF Alpha series was what was took things a new level here and Balrog wasn't even in those until after SF3 came out. That being said, his lawyers were too busy stealing his fortune while in prison so I really don't get when y'all keep saying "his lawyers would've done something". All I'm saying is, how things fell with Mike around that time, it's very possible he had no idea. It would've been YEARS later for him if he ever did. He ain't got no reason to lie about that.
