Some videogame characters, like MasterChief, or Solid Snake, or Cloud Strife, become icoinc because you take them through long journeys and life-shattering events. Others become iconic despite not even having names or back stories, just because they’re there every time you start up the game.

For example, the two dudes fighting at the beginning of Street Fighter 2. Those guys are instantly recognisable to anyone who’s spent a decent amount of time with the most important fighting game of all time (ie, most gamers), but they’ve not even been given names. Until now. The Capcom website now has officialbios for both of them.

The black guy is called Max.

And the white one is Joe.

That’s another great gaming mystery solved then.
