Art of Fighting/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

**** From what some have said, it was an intentional decision not to take the translation seriously at all.

** You are also assuming, wrongly, that SNK characters go through stages of life like we do. If that were the case, Athena Asamiya would have passed jailbait status at the time Nests Cartel was still looking for a building permit. And Bao, whoo, do ''not'' get me started...

*** Bio sheets? ''Wild Ambition??'' Seriously? What we have here is numerous parties at various stages of two fighting game evolutions trying out lots of different ideas, most of which would be scrapped, forgotten, or outright retconned. Let's remember that SNK has had an ''extraordinarily'' turbulent history. It's perfectly reasonable that later programmers would look at older works, say "the heck with this", and quietly do away with it. (A lot of it is being able to reuse sprites. King of Fighters, anyone?)

* I notice everyone seems to say that Takuma's alter ego's name of "Mr Karate" started out as a [[Fan Nickname]] sorts. But I'm pretty sure the announcer calls him Mr Karate rather clearly in the very first game when you choose him in Versus mode (Although his name tag shows only "???") What's the full story, anyway?
