WHY THE FAQ...? =================== The main reason I wrote this FAQ is because I keep getting asked to provide translations for vocals in video games. Therefore, it will mostly focus on the vocals in the game. I've only translated the moves lists that are in the manual, so don't expect one of those giant lists of every normal attack and throw each character has--you can find those on real FAQs discussing the gameplay of the game such as the one by the late Kao Megura. Mini-FAQ: Q: There's a vocal I know that you haven't touched on. What should I do? A: Write me. My e-mail's up there. I may never update the FAQ, but I'll respond to a friendly e-mail or two--eventually. I have a full-time job and do freelancing on top of it, so I'm not on the internet like a schoolboy. Q: God I hate you! God I hate Japanese! God! A: Don't mail me about this. Also, the game's in Japanese because it was made in Japan, man. If you don't like it, well, just go play Mortal Kombat or an ops game or something. Q: How was this FAQ made? A: I sat down and wrote out some of the things I've heard in the game. Then, I picked the characters just to see if I've missed anything. Lastly, I gave the soundtrack a listen. This was the only way to hear Gill's "Ascension" vocal. So, if a couple of them are wrong, you'll have to forgive me; the sampling is really horrid in this game and it's hard to hear things with explosions and crap going on. Q: How are there vocals that you know are in the game, but you don't know where they are? A: As I said before, I listened to the original soundtrack, which has some of the vocals as the last track. There were a few that I have never heard in the game at all. They will be noted with triple asterisks (***) after the listing. If you know where they come from, please, by all means, mail me and I'll see if I can get it to work. Q: Will you ever update this FAQ? A: I dunno...I'm getting kind of famous for not completing anything I post to the internet. As I said before, it's hard to find the time. Maybe I'll talk to Matt Lesko and get a huge grant from the government to sit around and write FAQ's. If I do update it, I'd like to add win quotes and endings. =================== B. HOW THE FAQ...? =================== If you're reading this, you're in a text editor or word processor. You can navigate the document with the "Find" options--they're usually in "Edit" or something. If you search for the name of the person you're looking for in the Table of Contents, then type in the letter I've indexed them under, a period, two spaces, and their name, all in capitals, it should take you there. If not, I'm sorry. I tried not to be a horrible FAQ author. Do not throw eggs at me. Oh, and don't flame me, either! I should warn anyone, too, that if you want to write in and say, "Hey, you missed so-and-so's whatever," or just want to let me know how you feel, if you just put "Hi!" in the subject, I'll delete it, nothing personal. Don't send an attachment, either. If you don't know why, well, here's my advice: don't open attachments you haven't asked for or e-mails with just the word "Hi!" in it--especially from people you don't know. Oh, I almost forgot: QCT = Quarter Circle Towards. This is the "fireball" motion, and is sometimes written "down, down/forward, forward." If you don't know it, there are plenty of FAQs that touch better on this--this is only meant to be a translations FAQ and not really a discussion of gameplay. QCB = Quarter Circle Backwards. The reverse of the movement above horizontally; "down, down/back, back." SRK = Shouryuuken motion. "Forward, down, down/forward." RSRK = Reverse Shouryuuken motion. "Back, down, down/back." HCT = Half Circle Towards. "Back, down/back, down, down/forward, forward." HCB = Half Circle Backwards. "Forward, down/forward, down, down/back, back." 360 = Full Circle motion. Generally, "Up, up/forward, forward, down/forward, down, down/back, back, up/back, up." Just spin 360 degrees. 720 = Double Circle motion. Do the 360 twice. F = Forward D = Down B = Back U = Up Charge = Hold in that direction for a second or two. P = Punch K = Kick WP = Weak Punch MP = Medium Punch SP = Strong Punch WK = Weak Kick MK = Medium Kick SK = Strong Kick PP = Two punches together PPP = All three punches together KK = Two kicks together KKK = All three kicks together Hold = Hold the button down for a while. 2x = Do the joystick motion twice. Tap = Tap the button quickly and repeatedly. You should know these if you've played 2d fighters before. It is kind of an old genre, and like I said before, there are plenty of FAQs out there that will describe this stuff better to you if you've never played a 2d fighter before in your life or have never heard of Street Fighter or something.... -------------- 2. CHARACTERS -------------- ======== A. ALEX ======== Power Age (whatever that means) STORY ----- Alex has learned the deep honor and the horrors of street fighting by fighting the strong heroes of the world.

"Good luck!" (During entrance) "Junbiwa ii?" "You ready?" (During entrance) "Ikuwayo!" "Let's do this!" (During entrance) (NOTE: Literally means "I'm gonna go!"

(During target combo) "Uppercut!" (During "Jet Upper" and "Ducking Upper" attacks) "Body blow!" *** (This is supposedly in the game; it's on the soundtrack. However, I haven't heard him ever say it.

Tanoshikatta wa!" *** "Thank you! That was fun!" (I'm assuming it's during a victory pose, but again, I'm pretty sure I haven't heard this while playing the game, but rather only on the soundtrack) "Mata aou, ne? Thanks!" "See you again sometime! Thanks!" (During victory pose) ======== E.

GOUKI ========= ("Gou" = "Great; Glorious; Hero," "Ki" = "Oni--a warlike, ogrish monster") He Who Has Mastered The Fist (I believe they say "Master of Fists") STORY ----- Gouki is called "He Who Has Mastered The Fist."

She is filled with the strong resolve to get into college--not upon the recommendation of her high school, but the normal way. To do this, she must pass the overbearing college entrance exams.

These words are like when Americans use "Hiya!" when hitting something. "Kojan to ki n ya!" "Come at me!" (During entrance) (NOTE: This is a lot like the "Kakatte koi" many people say) "Shoubu cha!" "Let's fight!" (During entrance) (NOTE: This literally means, "[Let's have a] match!" It's pretty common in movies or games.) "Ikuzeyo!--CHESUTO!" "Here we go!--(Shout!)" (During "Tosshinseikenzuki: Hayate" attack) (NOTE: If button is not held down, the "CHESUTO!" yell will play over the "Ikuzeyo!") "Owariya!" "It's over!" OR "You're finished!" (During taunt after "Tosshinseikenzuki: Hayate" attack) "Soko cha!" "Take this!" (During "Sokuchouseikenzuki: Fukiage" attack) (NOTE: Literally means "There!") "Hissatsu! CHESUTO!"

"Perfectly Straight Five Thrusting Punches!" (During "Seichuusen Godanzuki" Super Art) "Hissatsu! Owari ya!" "Here's my deadly attack! It's over!" (During "Abare Tosanamiyabuki" Super Art) "Mikitta! Owari ya!" "I've no more use for you! It's over!" (During "Abare Tosanamiyabuki" Super Art) (NOTE: "Mikiru" carries the idea that one has completely seen or read something, and has now abandoned it because they have no further use for it. It's sort of like, "I've seen all of your fighting style I need to, and now, I wash my hands of this dull fight!") "Shinu ja! Owari ya!" "Die! It's over!" (During "Abare Tosanamiyabuki" Super Art) "Soko cha! Owari ya!" "Take this! It's over!" (During "Abare Tosanamiyabuki" Super Art) "Ooouu! Kokkara ja!" "(Battle Cry!) It begins now!"

(During victory pose) "Kanzen shouryuu cha!" "Total victory!" (During victory pose) "Chikara minagi chuu!" *** "I'm overflowing with power!" (I haven't actually head her say this. I'm assuming it's during a victory pose. Again, it's on the soundtrack, but I haven't found it in gameplay) ========= K. NECRO ========= Bio-Cyber (Whatever that means) STORY ----- The stubborn troops of the secret organization after them wouldn't give Necro or Effy any respite. No matter how fast they run, or how far away they hid themselves, the dark shadows would again appear and take everything they had dreamed of away from them. However, Necro believed deep in his heart, that they would one day, no doubt, find their "true freedom." MOVES ----- Special Attacks: Denji Blast = "Electromagnetic Blast" SRK+P, Tap P Tornado Hook HCT+P Flying Viper QCB+P Snake Fang HCT+K Rising Cobra QCB+K Super Arts: Choudenji Storm = "Super-Electromagnetic Storm" 2xQCT+P Slam Dance 2xQCT+P Electric Snake 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ "Hey!

ORO ======= The Strange Old Magician STORY ----- ".... It's so dull...." Oro's boredom had surpassed its limit. Sometimes, he would take on young fighters as disciples, but they never lasted too long. One day, a rumor reached him from our world, which he sometimes takes a passing interest in. "So, in this secret organization, there's 'he who has mastered the fist,' hm...? Well, if I meet him, maybe I can drum up some fun." MOVES ----- Special Moves: Nichirinshou = "Sun Palm" Charge B, F+P Oni Yanma = "Oni Dragonfly" Charge D, U+P An oni is a mythical, warlike, ogrish monster Niouriki = "Strength of the Deva Kings" HCB+P A Niou is a shrine guardian; a Deva King.

Tengu Midareishi = "Tengu Stones in Chaos" 2xQCT+PP VOCALS ------ NOTE: Although he says "Hoi!" a lot, that doesn't really have any meaning. It's sort of like the "Yotto!" Ibuki says; just kind of like an "OK" or an "allyoop!" or something. "Kimatta bushi ni wa naru kana...?" "Will this one be the warrior I choose...?" (During entrance) "Yoku kita na." "I'm glad you've come by." (During entrance) "Ittyou mon ja!" "Let's get down to it!" (During entrance) "Fuun...nanka na." "*Sigh*.... That was kinda cruddy." (During win pose) (NOTE: Literally, all he says is, "That was...kinda...," but when someone says this about something you've done, it's definitely not a compliment. Usually, you'd say "Nanka...hen, ne?" Which means "Something just wasn't right about that) "Wana ga itta na...." "That was a trap...." (During victory pose) "Nnn yoi! Yoi na!" "Hmm, that was pretty good! Pretty good!" (During victory pose) ===== M. Q ===== The Mysterious Being STORY ----- "I wouldn't wish to reveal too much, but I can say that I have concluded that it would be difficult to find any useful evidence regarding this being's true identity at the present time, even with our agency's resources." --Report from Richard Bergman, Investigator for the C.I.A. MOVES ----- (NOTE: all of his moves have "temporary name" written after them, which means that they were assigned by someone who was investigating him, most likely) Special Moves: Tosshintoubudageki (kari) = "Thrusting Strike to the Head (Temporary Name)" Charge B, F+P Tosshintoubuchoubudageki (kari) = "Thrust to the Head to Overhead Strike Charge B, F+P, Hold P (Temp.)"

Fukubuoyobi Koutoubu e no Tsuuda (kari) = "Painful Strikes to the Stomach and 2xQCT+P Back of the Head (Temp.)" Bakuhatsu wo Tomonau Dageki ya Hokaku (kari) = "Strike or Grapple Involving An 2xQCT+P, QCT+P or QCT+K Explosion (Temp.)" VOCALS ------ "Ow!" (When hit with a strong punch or kick, or most knock-down special attacks) ELECTRONIC VOICE: "Danger!" (During "Bakuhatsu wo Tomonau Hokaku [kari]" [QCT+K] Super Art) "More!" (During victory pose) "I'm...an abomination!" (During victory pose) ======== N. REMY ======== Straddling the Line Between Love and Hate STORY ----- There are those he cannot forgive. His heart cries out to defeat them, to slaughter them. For an instant, his eyes, hidden behind silver hair, flashed wildly, and the young man's mind was stained with darkness. To feast upon revenge...there's no going back now! MOVES ----- Special Moves: Vertu no Zankou: Haute = "The Afterglow of Virtue: High" Charge B, F+P "La Postluminescence de la Vertu: Haute" Vertu no Zankou: Basse = "The Afterglow of Virtue: Low" Charge B, F+K "La Postluminescence de la Vertu: Basse" Ma Cherie no Hiai = "Grief of My Love" Charge D, U+K "La Désolation de Ma Chérie" Tsumetaku Aoi Regret = "Cold, Blue Regret" QCB+K "Un Regret Froid et Blu" Super Arts: Funnu no Supernova = "Supernova of Resentment" 2xQCT+P "Une Supernova de la Rancoeur" Vierge ni Ansoku wo = "Rest for the Virgin" 2xQCT+K "Répit pour la Vierge" Shoushin no Nocturne = "Nocturne of a Broken Heart" 2xQCT+K "Une Nocturne du Chagrin" VOCALS ------ "Buzama na haiboku wo kurete yaru." "I'll make you lose embarassingly." (During entrance) "Koko ga hakaba da." "This will be your grave." (During entrance) "Naze omae wa tatakau?" *** "Why do you fight?" (I'm assuming it's during an entrance pose; it's on the soundtrack, but again, I haven't gotten it in the game) "Ii n da na?" "It's alright to start fighting now, right?" (During entrance) "Sa, danzai no jikan da." "Come; it's time for your execution." (During entrance) (NOTE: "Danzai" is sort of a legal term, meaning to be convicted or to be executed for your crime--especially by beheading) "Mou ii ka?" "Had enough?" (During taunt) "Nan nan da, anta?" "What the heck's with you?" OR "What's your deal?" (During taunt) (NOTE: This is actually quite insulting. It's kind of like when someone does something really strange and embarassing, and you just look at them like, "Were you trying to accomplish something...?") "Eien ni nemure!" "Rest in peace!" (During "Funnu no Supernova" Super Art) (NOTE: Literally means something like "Sleep forever!") "Ano you de kubi!" "I'll have your head, if you fight like this!" (During "Vierge ni Ansoku wo" Super Art) "Ano you de kubi wo!" "You've given me your head, fighting like that!" (During victory pose) "Nan nan da, anta?" "What the heck's with you?" OR "What's your deal?" (During victory pose) "Kore de...ii no ka?" "Is this...right?" (During victory pose) "Nanimo kamo nikuin da yo!" "I despise everything!" (During victory pose) ======= O. RYU ======= ("Ryuu" = "High; Noble; Excellence") The One Seeking Excellence STORY ----- Ryuu has won many thousands of fights, and crossed fists with countless opponents. The path to "The True Warrior" is still vague, and has yet to be seen in its true form. However, Ryuu will not stray. Looking from a high point to scout his path, he believes that he will find the way so long as he continues to meet strong people along the way. MOVES ----- Special Attacks: Hadouken = "Energy Wave Punch" QCT+P ("Hadou" = a transmitted wave, as in a radiowave or ripple, etc.) Shouryuuken = "Rising Dragon Punch" SRK+P Tatsumakisenpuukyaku = "Whirlwind Kick" QCB+K Joudan Sokutougeri = "High Straight Kick" HCT+K ("Sokutou" = lit. "Leg Sword"; used for straight thrust kicks) Super Arts: Shinkuu Hadouken = "Pure Energy Wave Punch" 2xQCT+P ("Shinkuu" = literaly "a vacuum" or "void.") Shin Shouryuuken = "True Rising Dragon Punch" 2xQCT+P Denjin Hadouken = "Electric Blade Energy Wave Punch" 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ "Ikuzo!" "Let's go!" (During entrance) "Koi!" "Come at me!" (During entrance) "Hadouken!" "Energy Wave Punch!" (During "Hadouken" attack) "Shakunetsu!" "Incandescent!" (During EX "Hadouken" attack) "Shouryuuken!" "Rising Dragon Punch!"

SEAN ======== The Hot Blast Kid STORY ----- Sean has finally proved himself as a fighter. However, his teacher, Ken, has some stern words for him. "With your present skill, you'll only embarrass yourself," he predicts, for the upcoming tournament. Sean has to find his own style for Ken to shout about! MOVES ----- Special Moves: Sean Tackle HCT+P, Hold P Dragon Smash SRK+P Tornado QCB+K Ryuubikyaku = "Dragon's Tail Kick" QCT+K Super Arts: Hadou Burst = "Energy Wave Burst" 2xQCT+P Shouryuu Cannon = "Rising Dragon Cannon" 2xQCT+P, Tap P Hyper Tornado 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ "Kagen nashi ssu yo!" "The kiddie gloves are off!" (During entrance) (NOTE: People usually translate this one as "I'll make no allowances!" or "Don't you make any allowances!" or something like that, but that sounds a lot stranger to me, somehow.) "Ossu! Yoroshiku onegai shimasu! Are?" "Hello! Please give me the honor of fighting you! Hunh?" (During entrance) (NOTE: "Ossu" is two things: an informal "Hey!" or "Yo'!"-like greeting, and also a greeting that karate students will often give to each other, which is not as informal) "Shoot!" (During taunt, entrance) "Are?" "Hunh?" (During taunt while there is still a basketball on the screen) "Moratta!" "Gotcha!" (During "Sean Tackle" attack) "Moratta--maji?" "Gotcha--you're kidding!" (During "Sean Tackle" attack, with the button pressed down, when it misses or is defended against successfully) "Tornado!" ("Torune--do!") (During "Tornado" attack) "Hadou Burst!" "Energy Wave Burst!" (During "Hadou Burst" Super Art) "Kimare! Shouryuu Cannon!" "Let's settle this! Rising Dragon Cannon!" (During "Shouryuu Cannon" Super Art) (NOTE: "Kimaru" means "to be decided." In this instance, he's asking to be discerned the victor by his Rising Dragon Cannon attack) "Katta---! Tornado! Shoot!" "I've won! Tornado! Shoot!)" (During "Hyper Tornado" Super Art) "Katt--maji?" "I've--you're kidding!" (During "Hyper Tornado" Super Art, when it misses or is defended against successfully) "Yay!" (During victory pose) "Yatta ze!" "I've done it!" (During victory pose) ========== Q. TWELVE ========== The White Killing Machine STORY ----- Twelve is the ultimate humanoid weapon created by Gill's organization. His shape-changing body is the complete, tempered form of that of his prototype, Necro. There is absolutely no hope for its target! (NOTE: Except that Twelve is one of the worse characters) MOVES ----- Special Attacks: N.D.L. QCT+P A.X.E. QCB+P D.R.A. QCB+K in air Super Arts: X.N.D.L. 2xQCT+P X.F.L.A.T. 2xQCT+K in air X.C.O.P.Y. 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ NOTE: It's very hard to understand Twelve, but after listening to him so much, I think he may actually be saying things. There may be more that I just can't hear. (Excluding everyone else's vocals, which he acquires with X.C.O.P.Y., of course.) "Target!" (During entrance) "Extra needles!" (During "X.N.D.L." Super Art) "Yeah!" (During "X.F.L.A.T." Super Art) "Damn! Arrgh!" (During loss to a weak attack, guard damage, or a headbutt throw) "Finish!" (During victory pose) "Complete!" (During victory pose) ========= R. URIEN ========= The Rebelling Apostle STORY ----- Urien has fulfilled his wishes and become head of the organization. However, that's not high enough for him. Seated as the shadow head of the organization is the one who calls himself "Emperor of Heaven," Gill. How could he suffer this outrage? "It is I who should be ruler! I shall grant upon my brother punishment, much to his despair!" MOVES ----- Special Moves: Chariot Tackle Charge B, F+K Violent Knee Drop Charge D, U+K Dangerous Headbutt Charge D, U+P Metallic Sphere QCT+P Super Arts: Tyrant Punish 2xQCT+P Jupiter Thunder 2xQCT+P Aegis Reflector 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ "Get ready to die!" (During entrance) "Kill!" (During "Metallic Sphere" attack) "Destroy!" (During "Violence Knee Drop" attack) "Crush!" (During "Chariot Tackle" attack) "Tyrant Punish! Hah! Hah! Crush!" (During "Tyrant Punish" Super Art) "Jupiter Thunder!" (Pronounced: "Yupitel Thunder") (During "Jupiter Thunder" Super Art) (NOTE: The word "Jupiter" is spelled out "Yupiteru" here in the Japanese. This is not a standard way to write the word. I believe they were trying to give him a Germanic or European flare, since in most Germanic tongues "j" is pronounced with the sound written with a "y" in English.) "Aegis Reflector!" (During "Aegis Reflector" Super Art) "You died! Ahh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" (During victory pose) "Pitiful scum!" (During victory pose) "Tremble before my might!" (During victory pose) ======== S. YANG ======== The Blue Dragon of the Gale STORY ----- Keeping the peace of your town is a job to be proud of. Of course, Yang couldn't allow the "Mysterious Organization" to do as they pleased. His big brother, Yun, burned with his sense of duty. To Yun, who always wanted Yang to leave everything up to him, Yang muttered silently, "I'm not going to rely on you forever. I'll show you, big brother!" MOVES ----- (NOTE: I've put some of the Cantonese pronounciations here, sans tone. To put it in Roman letters really doesn't represent how to pronounce the words well, and it should also be noted that it's kind of apparent that these were written in Japanese and not Cantonese) Special Moves: Tourouzan = "Mantis Slices" " QCT+P, repeat up to three times Senkyuutai = "Piercing Leg Arrow" QCT+K (NOTE: "Kyuu" is actually "bow," not "arrow," technically) Byakko Soushouda = "Byakko Double Palm Strike" QCB+P (NOTE: "Byakko" is one of the "Heavenl Beasts," a White Tiger) Zenhoutenshin = "Forward Flip" HCB+K Kaihou = "Pleasant Trot" SRK+K Super Arts: Raishin Mahhaken = "Thundering Mach Punches" 2xQCT+P (NOTE: see the note in the VOCALS section) Tenshin Senkyuutai = "Rolling Piercing Leg Arrow" 2xQCT+K Sei'ei Enbu = "Starlight Waltz" 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ "Kimeru!" "Let's settle this!" (During entrance) "Todome!" *** "It's over!" (I don't know where he says this. Again, it's on the soundtrack, but I can't find it in the game at all) "Kono shoubu, moratta!" "I've won this battle!" (During entrance) "Fun! Sono teidou ka?" "Hmph! Is that all you've got?" (During taunt) "Amachua da na." "You're just an amateur, huh?" (During taunt) "Zenbu yometeita." "I saw through your strategy the whole time." (During taunt) "Raishin mahhaken!" "Thundering Mach Punches!" (During "Raishin Mahhaken" Super Art) (NOTE: "Mahha" is the way to say "Mach" in Japanese. However, there are Chinese characters used here that represent "Demon" and "Destruction." They would normally be read "Maha," not "Mahha," and are used to add meaning to the word, like a "Demon Destroying" fist) "Hissatsu!" "Here's my deadly attack!" (During "Tenshin Senkyuutai" and "Sei'ei Enbu" Super Arts) (NOTE: This "Hissatsu" word is so common that almost all fighting game characters, professional wrestlers, and "special effects show" superheroes' special attacks are called "Hissatsu waza.") "Fun! Sono teidou ka?" "Hmph! Is that all you got?" (During victory pose) "Zenbu yometeita." "I saw through your strategy the whole time." (During victory pose) ======= T. YUN ======= The White Dragon of the Clouded Skies STORY ----- Hong Kong, a town filled with the energy of life and the pleasant bustle of crowds. Yun and Yang, noticing a secret organization that threatened this peaceful way of life, decided to strike first and get to the inner workings of the organization. Standing on the brink of unavoidable battle, Yun's heart beat heavily in his chest. "We'll protect our village at all costs!" MOVES ----- Special Moves: Tetsuzankou = "Iron Mountain Shoulder" SRK+P (NOTE: "Kou" means "to lean upon") Zesshouhohou = "Far-Reaching Step" QCT+P Nishoukyaku = "Double Flying Kicks" SRK+K Kobakushi = "Tiger-Striking Boy" QCB+P Zenhoutenshin = "Forward Flip" HCB+K Super Arts: Youhou = "Scorching" 2xQCT+P Sourairengeki = "Thunder Spear Combination" 2xQCT+P Gen'eijin = "Shadow Troops" 2xQCT+P VOCALS ------ "Ore ni wa katenai tte!" "There's no way for you to beat me, you know!"
(During entrance)

"Katta ze, kono kenka!"
"I've won this match!"
(During entrance)

"Kakatte koi yo!"
"Come on, let's fight!"
(During taunt)

"Tsumannee na!"
"You're so damned boring!"
(During taunt)

"Ho--!  Gen'eijin!"
"Ohhhh!  Shadow Troops!"
(During "Gen'eijin" Super Art)

"Yoyuu da ze!"  ***
"This is easy!"
(I'm not sure where that vocal comes from; it's on the soundtrack, but I
 haven't seen it yet in the game.  It's usually said in taunts, but I
 suppose it could be in his win pose)

"Joi gin!"
"See you later!"
(During victory pose)

"Zatta konna mon!"
"That's how you do it!"
(During victory pose)

B.  LOUSY LYRICIST LOUNGE
-------------------------

Hey, it's not Mr. Magic or Pookey Blow, Edan, or Busdriver, but I'm sure those
folks would get a laugh or two out of hearing this!  Most people I knew seemed
pretty offended or upset that these lyrics were even in the game.  Oh, well.
I, myself, found them pretty funny, but also, I feel that they definitely add
character to the game.  The arranged, home version of the Bonus Game 2 track is
pretty cool, actually, if hard to har.  These lyrics are most likely copy-
righted by both Capcom and Lockdown, so, you know, don't sell them, or any-
thing like that.


Menu, Opening -THIRD STRIKE- (Full version is only in home version)

Yo, yo, yo!
Prepare for the battle, prepare for the war
Prepare for the world Street Fighter blood war
The third of the third, prepare to die for
Your life's on the line, so I'm'a take yours
So, who wanna blood dance wi' me?
Get your body wrapped up while you in a street fantasy?
In the square, yo', you best all beware  
Street Fighter--we ain't playin' over here
One on one, kid, you know you can't finish
Rhymes on rhymes, too, so come and get wit' it
Your heart ain't cold stone; forget about the power
Battle this out to the 24th hour
Pay the price that you couldn't deal with
Cold-blooded killers in my Lockdown clique
Got no time to waste; we're tickin' time bombs
Street Fighter III like a star of your own!

Make your first move, so what's it gonna be?
You've tapped into the new world of Street Fighter III
The third chapter, so what's it gonna be?
You've tapped into the new world of Street Fighter III
Make your first move, so what's it gonna be?
You've tapped into the new world of Street Fighter III
The third chapter, so what's it gonna be?
You've tapped into the new world of Street Fighter III

Yo!  Yo!
Rock what you've got, block what you're shot
Another chapter and what you get is what you've got
Enough warriors here to fight, choose one
The best of the best will be the champion
Whose world is this after all?
Capcom movin' with Lockdown forever, y'all
This contains scenes of violence and death
Viewer's own discretion, some ain't ready yet
For the pack that ain't ready, step off--and what you've got
For the fighters who're ready, take your regular spot
So what?  Come down, before it's too late to stop
Tryin' to front like you was kings of the block
Step too close, kid, you might get shot
Only one master's going straight to the top
One false, your whole game here would flop
Only one master's going straight to the top

Yeah!  Yeah!  Yo!
If you're 'bout to get your life in something you wish you wouldn't
It's too late; you gotta ball what you wish you couldn't
Pass the first stage, you thought you could live it
Now you soon realize you never could survive it
You're dealing with cold-blooded assassinators
Decapitate your body, laid a pro' for alligators
You're needed for your power, but here it's so much greater,
It's either you push through it or try to get it later
It's all about the confidence, but they don't cater
You got no time to talk to the player-haters
I guess one blocked kick will leave your body critical
Talk about real street thugs and big criminals
Lyin' helpless all the way to the finish
But you could practice, come back, and get wit' it
You can't block my hits!  The sky's no limit
It's a big distance, yo, it's infinite

Make your first move, so what's it gonna be?
You're trapped in the new world of Street Fighter III
The third chapter, so what's it gonna be?
You're trapped in the new world of Street Fighter III
Make your first move, so what's it gonna be?
You're trapped in the new world of Street Fighter III
The third chapter, so what's it gonna be?
You're trapped in the new world of Street Fighter III

Make your first move, so what's it gonna be?
You're trapped in the world of Street Fighter III:

Bonus Game 2  ("Arranged", home version only--not in arcade)
(NOTE:  Many of these lyrics are wrong; it's pretty hard to hear the guy as
he's all muffled in the background.  Also, I've censored it, but they're the
F-words.  I don't know what a "hot ******" is, or what a "swani" could be,
so they're probably wrong)

Yeah!  Yeah!  

Well, it's a lyrical paragraph!  Your traps make me laugh!
In front of the the microphone, you didn't pass math 
or science.  The main ingredient be the finest of the fittest
Did it?  Yo', I ain't cool wit' it!  
You failed on the lessons of what it means to be in the top ten
Stop, look, and listen, 'cause it's probably your life's end.
If knowledge is the key to be the best of this life, 
then wisdom understands the ways of a punished man.
Devilish platitudes, you really make me rude!
Friday the 13th!  You're all ******' crude!
It's Jason and Michael Myers and Freddie, awful fine.
King of the savages would laugh at each one, you dig?
There's only one thing, everybody.
I'm at the hot ****** and I want me a swani!
Bring him along, I hear a bell!  What the hell?
I'm talkin' to Emcee's. They promised not to tell, oh swell!


NOTE:  There are also lyrics to the song "Moving On" used during the credits.
  However, they do not play in the game, so I didn't bother.

4.  THANKS

Thanks Cap, Lockdown, and all 2d nuts like me out there.  Well, or just plain
fighting game nuts.  Heck, just video game nuts.  That's a lot of nuts, and
I'm not going to say the puerile jokes you can get outta that.  

Until the next FAQ I half-finish,
ThePatrick
