No one remebered him at all?

[CaptainSawada]

I mean it was funny, but not even Bison and Vega reconized him. I'd remeber a guy who looks like Mike Tyson and could kill elephats with his punches.

[Zangief]

Yeah, I feel the same way. After all, he made a lifelong enemy of Dhalsim because of that. Also, Zangief and Balrog have had their share of tension towards each other during their days of working for Bison.

Although it all seemed so unlikely, I could see how the writers (probably Sam Reich and Dan Gurewitch on that one) just couldn't resist the opportunity for a good laugh.

But come on, you have to admit it was real funny

Zangief: What are your special moves?
Balrog: I punch REALLY hard!
Dhalsim: Do you...kick?
Balrog: What's a kick?
Everyone: aaaahh, he's the one who cannot kick..

[Zangief]

[Saubha]

It is more his self-satisfied grimace after the shot that gets ME ever time! 

[Zangief]

That is EXACTLY the point at which I break up!
