The localization is fucking gnarly. So the original voice samples are in Japanese, by Japanese people. Then when they brought the game to NA they changed the voices to presumably those done by Americans, but they're still fucking Japanese words. Why even bother replacing them.

>putting that creep/sperg Gosunkugi in
>not based Kuno-Senpai

well, at least the other fighting game had him to play as.

>>5569070
>>5569084
That makes sense. But why the hell would they change some Japanese samples e.g. Gosunkugi's words to generic "Ow!" type expressions, while others are re-recorded as Japanese again?

>>5570919
he's also a top 3 character in Chougi Ranbu Hen

>>5572592
The way they handled the dub was characters would still use the original foreign name for their 'special' moves.

>>5573706
is there a proto of the english version? did they fixed the slugginess, did they keep the voices?

>>5573838
nope, but there's a translation patch

>slugginess
the game was made to play like SF2 pre-HF, hence why it's "slow"

>>5573845
no, its slow not because of the pace, have you actually played the game on console, notice how it doesnt run at 60fps?

i wish ranma got more games

>>5576542
It's weird that it didn't.

Wasn't there a Ranma game that when localized had all the characters turned into comic book looking characters?

>>5576542
I remember 5 SFC releases, 2 PCE games, 3 GB games, a singular MegaCD title, and a Playstation game. That is just what I remember, there may be even more. That's pretty good already.


>>5578796
I think that is Street Combat

>>5578441
I guess there wasn't that much interest for more Ranma games during mid-90s , that sucks because I wanted another game that improved on Chougi Ranbu-Hen and we got the shitfest that was Battle Renaissance.
>>5579271
It's not good when like 3 or so are good (Chougi Ranbu Hen, Netsuretsu Kakutouhen, Ouugi Janken and Akanekodan Teki Hihou) while the rest are forgettable or just bad.
Also you're missing the MSX game, which is infamous for the anti-piracy lock.

YAH! AYA!

>>5579271
Ah, that's the one, thanks!

Ranma is a series that to some people had age poorly, due to the frustrating the characters can be, specially certain characters, and the way Rumiko Takahashi write those tropes, didn't helped that most of the games were subpar, look, i had a soft spot for hard battle, but that game is unpolished and had terrible sound (bad US voices aside), the 3rd one could have been decent but the sluggishness killed it.

Doesnt help that some of the games were developed by mediocre as hell devs including the infamous Banpresto/(Bandai) which was japanese LJN at the time (and not much had change since they fused with Namco)

>>5581952
>Banpresto/(Bandai) which was japanese LJN at the time
Nah, not that bad.
They rush their releases a lot, but the quality controls is much higher than what LJN did.
A lot of Bandai or Banpresto published games are actually very good, but it does have a lot of mediocre games, not outright horrible ones though.
Well, Ranma on PS1 was horrible.

>>5581986
welp, the again 2000s EA then?

>>5573706
I remember getting a flier for the upcoming US release of the game at a trade show, and they mailed me one too. They were even showing it off with people playing it at their booth. I'll scan the version of the flier I have if I have time.

>>5579342
Yeah, I made a mistake, There are 3 PCE games. I was just trying to remember them off the top of my head.

>>5581676
Street Combat was the first fighting game which wasn't that good to begin with, the review scores reflected that too. I remember when EGM showed screenshots of Bakuretu Ranbuhen and the readers were just really interested sending in letters for more coverage of the game and demanding no changes.

>>5581952
Agreed, not enough of best girls Tendou Nabiki and Kuonzi Ukyou. At least there's always Haitani's Makoto to remind me of Akane,

DOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

>>5582180
Yeah, this one is a bit different on the front ... but it does look like they were ready to launch the game in the US.

Sorry, don't know how to work this scanner. Also this site restricts the size to something smaller than its output.
