What if...Ryu AND Ken?
VS Mode Win
| My translation | Official translation |
|---|---|
| Come on! I'll be your opponent anytime! | Anytime, anywhere, cross my path again and you're mine! |
Art of Fighting win quotes are all about figuring out how to rephrase "come on" without sounding repetitive.
This is punched up to sound a little more threatening, but is mostly pretty close. I get the feeling the translator was trying to stick closer to the Japanese here and later got the confidence to break further and further away. YMMV on how good a thing that was.
Todoh intro
| My translation | Official translation |
|---|---|
| Todoh: Hmm...you came. Good. | Todoh: Hmm... He is here. |
| Ryo: You'll tell me where my sister is! | Ryo: Tell me where my sister is! |
| Todoh: Ask me with your fists! | Todoh: Ask for it with your power! |
This is why I'm not doing AoF1 line-by-line. Long, literally translated, no shared lines to compare across versions...it's boring. I'll go through it bit-by-bit over the course of this project and update if there's anything interesting, but it's not worth my time while AoF2 and FF3 are on the table.
