Only when Chun-Li was showing a computer file of Balrog at the start of the movie, he is seen with his boxing gloves. In Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie he is seen with no boxing gloves and he wears dark green commando pants and boots instead of his boxing trunks and shoes (along with Sagat, after his prologue fight with Ryu). This outfit became his 'Nostalgia' costume in Street Fighter V.

Official artwork at the time also depicted him sans a canine tooth in the upper right side of his mouth. His short hairstyle is similar to Mike Tyson's haircut from the era of Street Fighter II 's release. He wears blue boxing trunks with white trim and a torn white shirt under a blue tank top, as well as red boxing gloves and boxing shoes. Notably, Leon Spinks would also turn to competing in boxer versus wrestler matches in New Japan Pro Wrestling during the 1980s, including a famous loss by submission to Antonio Inoki, and into the 1990s, would compete in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling, which he would win the title of world champion by 1992.īalrog is a tall, heavily built and very muscular African-American boxer. 8.1 Street Fighter: The Storytelling Gameīalrog is loosely based on the real-life semi-retired boxer Mike Tyson.Īnother inspiration may include Leon Spinks, the undisputed world heavyweight champion of 1978 who won the title against Muhammad Ali, and whose 1980s undisputed heavyweight champion young brother Michael Spinks faced off against Mike Tyson in 1988 in his only loss and last match of his career.6.1 Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie.5.2 Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.3.5.4 Ed's Prologue - 'The Nimble Boxer'.
