2·2 days agoIf you’re familiar with the English versions, navigating the menus in Japanese isn’t bad. The whole roster can be edited, and part of that is being able to change the names to romaji/English. I believe there’s a patch available to take care of most if not all of that. Let me see if I saved the post where someone else told me about it.
Back in the day I did all of those edits by hand on the physical cart. I still have the cart… one day I’ll boot it up again in the hope that the battery hasn’t died.
Edit: I think this is it

I would like to introduce both of you to the wonders of Virtual Pro Wrestling and VPW2, Japan-only games using the same engine. VPW2 tops No Mercy IMO, if for nothing else than by the sheer breadth of the roster. It’s just a shame that out of the box so many wrestlers needed so much tweaking to get around the lack of licensing. But the fact that it was possible to “fix” everyone was fantastic.
I just realized that the examples in the meme leave out an important part of the ensemble: calf-high white tube socks with multicolor bands at the top.
If you’re gonna rock it, rock it all the way.

Aside from my slab o’flab making people wish my top had not been cropped, those daddy dukes look like junk-crunchers.
I am far from mighty. If anything, I am straight up bad at combat. On my first master mode playthrough I did duck into the castle to get the shield, but afterwards went right back to do/find all the things mode.
Can flirt? I’d argue one must flirt, lest one be cursed to trudge through sand and snow.
Unless one happens to know the windbomb, in which case… BOOM stares off into the distance …was nice talking with ya.
Me learning this about electromagnetism: huh, neat.

Sociopathy, mostly.
Please read this next line as if it had alternating/random caps:

I’m on mobile and would rather not deal with my spellcheck “learning” anything today.
“What’s your password?”
“The letter A.”
If it was 20, maybe even 10 years later, I might have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child. But I wasn’t disruptive and I scored extremely well on tests. In the 80s, that overruled pretty much everything else. And when I had trouble later, it was because I was “lazy.” This is why I dislike the narrative that “gifted means everything came easily until it didn’t and then they failed because they didn’t face hardship.” I didn’t have trouble because I wasn’t challenged. I had trouble because I had undiagnosed ADHD and autism, but got slapped with the lazy label early and often. Nothing I did was ever enough, and I was told my whole life that I just wasn’t trying hard enough. All because I learned to read before kindergarten and scored in the 99th percentile on standardized testing.
Meanwhile, the 5-6 people from my elementary gifted classes that graduated with me all kept excelling through school and into their careers. Which also contradicts the easy narrative that sprang up around “gifted.” Not sure how many of them had concurrent neurodivergencies… but I was the weird one even among the weird kids lol.
