I know we all like to make jokes about SNK's lackluster English translations. I have some games (if not all?) that are known for SNK Engrish. What I want to know is which games have the best Engrish and what are some memorable lines from those games? Hopefully, we can have some FUN and ENTERTAINMENT instead of whining and crying about some recent events. Thanks. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

if there's bad english in the games, you should see the spanish translations

%95 of the time just don't make any sense <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0">

Another amusing Engrish factor I want to point out is Kasumi (?) Todo from AOF 3. I just have to laugh at the concept of her since she speaks poor English and SNK is known for their shoddy English. <IMG SRC="smilies/loco.gif" border="0">

Kasumi (KOF96): "Come back when you grow up!"

Masae Yumi is pretty damn talented to do both her and Leona...

But man, you want bad English, play Sam. Sho. 2. I'd play in Japanese but then the Super Combos don't show! ARGUH!

I recently got the English version of SamSho II and I decided to read the manual last night. I really wouldn't call this Engrish, but for some reason, they made so many references to poking out eyes I had to laugh! <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0">

Memories... my brother use to always visit that site. His favorite one was a set of pillows that had "personal information" written on them. One was red, with a dancing bear, and had embroidered up it, "I was born in Cicago. My mother's name is Barbra". It still cracks me up for some reason... I'm gonna go try to find it.
