Wow for many years people have known that:
I'm actually a little disappointed that you didn't include Gouki and Tabasa in your initial post (Gouki = U.S. Akuma [as Solidus Snake mentioned] and Tabasa = U.S. Tessa). CAPCOM's got a long history of changing character names for the non-Japanese editions of its games. Warzard (aka Red Earth), the Vampire series (aka DarkStalkers), and the Street Fighter series are rife with chara name changes. But by far the worst offender must be Muscle Bomber (aka Saturday Night Slam Masters). With the exception of Mike Haggar (whose name had already gone unchanged in Final Fight 3-1/2 years earlier), all of the other 9 playable chara had their names altered for the non-Japanese editions of Muscle Bomber. And the altered names sucked compared to the original Japanese ones. very_ang
y does it matter if they change her name or not? spock
I prefer the Japanese names over the altered ones, and it would simply amuse me if Playmore accidentally allowed Tabasa's original name to sneak thru the game's Americanization process. Then again, SNK did remember to change her name to Tessa for the English-language edition of Gekitotsu Card Fighters...
