Sokaku Mochizuki
The concept of hunting demons with demons is SMT as hell, but they really dropped the ball on giving him an actual storyline.
Win with normal move

| Not yet. Polish up your skills a little more. | Get some practice, pal. |
Yeah, that's pretty much the same. The English is somewhat more informal, but eh.
Win with special move

|---|---|
| No one can defeat my dark powers. | No one can beat my dark power! |
...yep.
I could grammar nitpick, but that hardly seems worth it.
Win with super move

| Shura like you are this lightning jashin's favourite food.... | Now that was quite a finish! |
Two hard-to-translate terms in one sentence. I really can't blame them for just rewriting this one.
I went over shura on the main page, so let's talk about those lightning jashins. 邪神, jashin, means roughly "evil god". Shin Megami Tensei fans might recognize them as Vile-type demons. They're the kind of gods that bring calamities on humanity, so they're specifically malevolent. "Demon" is a good rough equivalent in English...assuming you haven't already had to overload that term.
Since Sokaku's entire thing is capturing monsters/evil beings to hunt down other monsters, it makes sense he'd have a jashin handy. That's what he uses in his supers. And then I guess anyone that can force him to use the lightning jashin counts as a shura.
I'd have to really think if I was localizing this for real. Good thing I'm not!
Win with hidden super

|---|---|
| At last, I have perfected my fist. | I've reached full power! Wooga wooga waaaaaah! |
Kishi got all the hidden supers for me, because I am bad at fighting games.
So, um...yeah.
The basics are there, at least. I can see how perfecting one's fist would lead to one reaching full power. That makes sense.
"Wooga wooga waaaaaah" has shades of "A ooga" back on the main route.
No, I have no idea why it's there. There are mysteries even I don't understand.
