The characters in the intro of Street Fighter II had names, but no one knew until 30 years later

Surely, when you were a kid, you were certain that the two men fighting on the initial screen of Street Fighter II had names. That they were unlockable within the game, or they were stylized versions of Ryu and Balrog. However, time has shown us otherwise: not only do they have names, but they also have hobbies and personalities, even though we will never be able to play a game with them.

They fight in the street, indeed

For years, it was thought that their names were Joe and Mike, who appeared in the forgotten original Street Fighter as machine-controlled opponents. And it makes sense because, in fact, Joe appears in a Drama CD that told the story of Street Fighter II and was not released outside of Japan. In the Mad Revenger story, Joe wants to face Ken in the Martial Arts Tournament in San Francisco, but before reaching him, Sagat easily defeats him and leaves him knocked out.

However, with the arrival of Street Fighter V they decided to give them names: they are Scott and Max. Scott is a former boxer who now works as a security guard at a bar and often starts street fights in his daily life, but goes fishing at a lake on weekends. Max, on the other hand, is a boxer with great speed and techniques who participates in martial arts tournaments, but causes problems and is often penalized for his bad behavior. To make matters worse, he spends all the money he earns on gambling. The next time you play Street Fighter II, now you know the truth about who those two are. Now, stay away from them, as they are not to be trusted!
