What was Shingo's intro in 2k3?

I know it's something like 'something something Kusanagi something, bring it on!'?

*really, knows a few words in Shingo's 2k3 intro*

I'm pretty sure someone answered this before...

"Kono Kusanagi no ken o osorenai nara kakatte koi!"
Something like
"If this fist of Kusanagi doesn't scare you, bring it on!"
or more accurately,
"If you aren't scared by this fist of Kusanagi, bring it on!"

Small potatoes, but the second one is closer to how the sentence is phrased.

Thanks, SS!

Anyway, I read this in the KOF XI site, and..... what is:
現在、ロケテストに参加して下さった方を対象にアンケートを実施しております。プレイした感想、ご意見を開発スタッフ一同お待ちしております。
in English? (it's the info about the form thingy)

Sorry if I'm giving you guys a hard time. =|

Also, is this how the Japanese use the period? '。' instead of '.'

That line is just asking for feedback from the people who went to the loke tests.

And yes, that is the Japanese/Chinese end-of-sentence marker.

OK, from top bubble now...

'Somewhere (some castle/habitat?

) in Shang Hai, a secret party attended by people of various countries.'

'Can we depend on Duolun?'

(Left bubble)
'With his abnormal ('something', sorry, can't read the chinese character clearly) power, he has become one of the Four Heavenly Kings since a very young age' (The character's name is 'Seven' - 'qi')

(Right bubble)
'Don't worry, if it's him, he will do very well.'

'Good at attacking with the head, loves gambling.' (Name : 'Competition' - 'Sai')

'Strongest female warrior of the Four Heavenly kings, uses flames in battles and able to teleport (?) swiftly' (Name: 'Unorderly' - 'Luan')

'Wei...' (Equivalent of 'Hey'

)

There you go.. not really good... but I guess that's all I can muster?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 8) Is that the first page or the second page?

Post by **SonicTempest** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 14:24

Aren't they the same? The only difference is that the first is in Japanese and the second is in Mandarin.

7d3j · Post by **7d3j** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 15:26

Yeah... and I read the chinese one... which had some pretty blurred characters...

SS, can you make out what the Japanese version is saying? My translation's by no means perfect... Anyone else can give it a go?

duolon_2005 · Post by **duolon_2005** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 15:44

How can you tell the difference between Mandarin and Japanese? Like I said, I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about translating :-( . Um....I'll try to upload those pictures bigger on my web page if you think it will help. Thank you for your time.

OK, I hope this helps. (It might have made it blurrier though... :? )

Let me know if I can help at all. Thank you. Remember that you can use the normal URLS to look at the originals, in case the ones above are blurry:

Nope... Squinted and magnified...

I can't help anymore on the Chinese one... You will need a Jap pro on this one now.

A quick glane through (The Jap version is kinda blur though ><) reveals that the Chinese version is a pretty accurate translation, and 7d3j's translation of that is pretty much spot on

Thank you.
