If this topic is inappropriate to be separate from the existing MMBN5 topic, I offer my apologies to the staff for contributing to it.

That said, I've played some of Team Colonel myself.

Atrocious grammar, to the point of making MMBN3 look like... uh... some classical work of literature. Or something.

Also, "Baryl."

Other name changes include SwallowMan becoming LarkMan, and FootMan becoming GridMan. As in Grid Iron, not the Japanese series "adapted" into Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad.

The best thing I've seen so far is Lan saying "What could I, Mr. Famous, be doing here on this mountain?" The rest isn't so severe, but dang boy.

"Baryl" makes me cry openly, and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Edit: Oh, right. Forgot to mention that ShadowMan's operator is called Dusk, which I personally rather like. Especially considering the potential alternatives. They could have just as easily called him "Dark." How sucky would that be? As it is, Dusk is a decently ninja-esque codename kind of thing.

If you dislike the name changes so much, then import or just shut up.

I think this will be ok...but you must do the following:

1. No Game Bashing, if I see any bashing that mystery data will go from blue to PURPLE.

2. Mark any potential spoilers. Just because it's in English now that doesn't mean things are no longer spoilers.

With that being said, enjoy the rest of this thread. Smile

***Removed by Sketch* No ROM talk, gloating you have one just as bad as talking about it and it's not necessicary.***

in one of the other topics, they said Netto took off his pants at the beach. didn't happen in this one. he and Dex just talk about being able to take your underwear out of your swimsuit without getting naked (Mr. Bean episode, anyone? with the guy who is blind, but you don't know it 'till the end Laughing

).

also, i don't know why, but the spelling "Baryl" just seems better to me than "Barrel".

any way, the Spook'ums has spoken.

Well, "Dusk" would be inconsistency #2. I guess both "Dark" and "Dusk" could be considered code names anyway though, so Miyabi could use both. In fact, this could be him being more mysterious, changing his name to Dusk to maintain some secrecy about his identity, since Lan's already heard the name Mr. Dark.

Hm, what to do about Swallowman and Footman? On the one hand their names were inherently silly to the english ear. On the other hand, the hanges are enough to create confusion and disagreement when they're being discusses, just like NTWarrior name changes. I had no problem dropping the "ed" from Colourman, because the two names are easily comparable with each other, and I never use "Japanman" because it was Yamatoman in MM6, but this is the first case where a navi's name change is both significant and original.

Well, I'll likely use the names Gridman and Larkman since they sound less humiliating, plus I do tend to stic woth the english version names as long as they're not inconsistent with anything in english that precedes them.

Keep in mind, there are cases where the European and US versions of a game are translated differently. So don't automatically assume that everything there is gonna be in US version Razz

That aside, [spoil:46a777c058]FyreFox[/spoil:46a777c058] is the only one that really bugs me...

Edit: BTW, Josu. Just like people have to let you say negative things about the anime, you've gotta let people say negative things about the translations as long as they don't break any rules regarding it no matter how ridiculous you think they're being.
Not everyong can understand Japanese, play through a game without understanding Japanese or import.

What I'm truly interested in is how they abbreviated Tomahawkman's name. My guess would be either "Tmhwkman" but there are many other possiblities. Anyone know which one is correct?

Also, I heard Magnetman was appreviated as "Magnoman" in EXE5. Any confirmation?

*curious*

Okay, there are some mistakes there.

BatShot is the chip used in the CrossOver Battle, the chup that comes from the bat virus is called PulseBeam, THAT'S the chip that gets altered to Pulsar.

It was Senshahou, not Tank Cannon, Senshahou just translates to Tank Cannon.

And, uh...forget it. That list is confusing. I'm not sure which you think are the original names and which are the translations. Some places you have changes on the left, and some places it's the other way around. And in some cases I don't see the original name anywhere.

TomahawkMan is abbreviated to TmhkMan.

Raijin · Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2005 2:21 pm Post subject:

Okay, I compiled a better list for the chips/PAs, this time original names are on the left, english names are on the right.

PulseBeam -> Pulsar
Senshahou -> TankCan
SabotenBall -> CactBal
GunDelSols are now GunDelS rather than GunSol
ElementRage -> ElemRage, it was never "Elemental Gun"
Ocean -> Sea
Kusamura -> Grass, natch
Kunai -> MoonBld
SamuraiSword -> Katana
SkullChain -> Skully
AquaWhirl -> AqWhirl, it was never a "Tornado"
AirWheel -> AirSpin
FirePunch -> FireHit
HeatBody -> HotBody, it was never "BodyBurn"
MeteorEarth -> Astroid
SpaceYura -> SpShake
InazumaKing -> Voltz
TsunamiHole(Not "Ball") -> WavePit
CommonRain -> RainyDay
Invis is now Invisibl, guess they realized they could fit in a few more letters finally.
Ryuseigun is once again "Meteors", rather than "StarShot"
JusticeOne/Won/Wan is JustcOne, so there you go.
Again... Z Sabre -> Z Saver, Oy
And yes, it seems we have "Meddy"
GigantHook -> BigHook
DarkSound -> DarkSonic
Tomahawman's chip indeed says TmhwkMn
OtenkoSama is simply Otenko
GunDelSolEX is GunDelEX, heh.
MugenVulcan -> InfVulcan
MadBoxer -> Boxer
YuraParade -> ShakPar, looks like they decided to translate Yura more directly than in BN2
SabotenDance -> CacDanc
YoYoGreat -> GreatYo (It's great, yo!)
WildSwallow -> WildBird
FootMegaBall -> FootBall

The rest are either the same as before or just shortened versions of their original names.
