Why is that?

Also, what nicknames did you have for certain bosses and enemies?

We also called the fat, fire breathing guys "pizza breath" for some reason.

>> No.3631238

If you play single-player, the girls are the first boss that show up as a pair.

This is pretty easy to translate even with my basic knowledge of Hiragana and Katakana which you can just look up.

I'm no expert so I'm probably going to be completely wrong.

Boomerang guy is Asotonio which I'm guessing is suppose to sound like Ace Tony but the o sounds don't make sense

Claws is Sauzaa

Ultimate Warrior is Abadede

Fat guy is Bosogo or Bossgo

The Twins says Onihime & Yasya but I can't be bothered to look up the kanji to see if there's any other meaning

You're a bit off in a few of them.
>Boomerang guy is Asotonio which I'm guessing is suppose to sound like Ace Tony but the o sounds don't make sense
It's actually supposed to be Antonio
>Claws is Sauzaa
SOR2 romanizes it as Souther.
>Ultimate Warrior is Abadede
Correct
>Fat guy is Bosogo or Bossgo
It's Bongo.
>The Twins says Onihime & Yasya but I can't be bothered to look up the kanji to see if there's any other meaning
Onihime means Ogre Princess. Yasha is a type of Buddhist demon.

Looks like someone at Sega is a Hokuto no Ken fan. I think SOR2 even has a technique named after a Nanto Seiken move.
