In the original version of street fighter, the bosses names were: Balrog being the Clawed Spaniard, Vega being the General final boss and M. Bison being the totally not Mike Tyson boxer

In the US, Balrog is the Boxer, Vega is the masked clawed Spaniard and Bison in the dictator.

Which of these name sets fit best?

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Vega i do think fits Claw more since Vega is a spanish surname

Balrog to me means nothing, honestly. So i could pit him on Boxer and having him be on Claw feels arbitrary

And M. Bison, Bison is a strong animal so i could see if being a final bosss name

Balrog is a Lord of the Rings reference, a final boss-like fire creature. So I say it fits the dictator.
