The Hilarious Localisation of Art of Fighting 2

For those not well versed in Southtown and/or South Town lore, series is a prequel to Fatal Fury.

Original introduced a range of innovations (including the controversial spirit gauge), but sequel raised the roof (in more ways than one).

Just be grateful I didn't use my plumber's helper, pal!
What a slimy guy. Wash your face off and enter like a gent.
I am woman. Feel my kick and moan.
You did quite well for a corpse, my friend. Rest in peace.
Hah hah. Even with weapons you were only a bald guy sans class!
Mr. Big

Let's say, I know which holes in which to put my pegs, pal!


I've always placed pins in squares.

King

I didn't come here to listen to your pick-up lines, eunuch!


Insult needed more balls.

Takuma

You should have stayed a glint in my eye. Smart guy, waah!


Yeah, well you should've kept out of Ronnet's knickers. Yaah!

Jack

You really know how to frost my cake, sonny.
Such comments marinate my chicken, geezer.

Don't worry little lady. I will take care of you.


How face suddenly wears a perverted grin is something you'd never get away with today.

HA HA HA!

Eiji

Think of me as a fly in your scalp ointment.
Perhaps, but I prefer bees in my cream.

Thanks for the advice, smelly. But I'm stayin'! Coronary!


Begone sweetness. As I will leave! Stationary!

Lee

Does the tern Julien Fry mean anything to you?
No, it doesn't. Perhaps you could elaborate?

(Silence).

Keee! Shut up, weed head!
How dare you insult my garden. You Mongolian madman.

Impertinent whelp! Eat my steel, tumor of a dragon's wart!


Uneducated morsel! Swallow rusty metal, boil of a wyvern's testicle.

Ryo

Great. It should come to about $7,500 for the dental work.


That's peanuts compared to the NHS.

Sorry, Robster, you're about to be a grape at a Beaujolais disco.


Chardonnay raves are more dangerous. Trust me.

Mickey

You're Big, huh? Could you turn down the glare of your skull?


My secret weapon? Next joke, Small!

All I need is one punch and you're monkey meatloaf.


Relax, one kick and burden is all under.

Robert

Well. What can I say? I am cool, stylish, and--sniff--unloved!


Skint, ragged, and---sob--gifted! Shameful secrets are meant to be shared.

Face the fury of me, Jack, the biking Beezlebub from Bakerstown.


Not Satan or Lucifer? Roast in the fires of damnation demon racist.

Temjin

Are you another fighter or an over-aged cheerleader?


Neither actually. I'm a nubile dancer twirling in the moonlight.

Whenever you're ready, you small yuppy, you!


Hold your horses, slack-jawed pauper, me!

Heh, heh. I'll clean my teeth with you. Son of a tapeworm.


Such threats will destroy thee. Daughter of a silverfish. Lol, lol.

Taste the rage coursing through my blubber. Ninja runt!


I'm about to pour fear into your foul frame. Anorexic tool!

Special ending

If Geese Howard is unlocked and defeated, crime boss and presumably his butler enter Japanese air space.

I see. How goes Southtown? Everything is going as planned. Just f-a-b, b-i-g g-u-y.


Tell me more. Don't spell it out.

O.K. whoops, sorry. Anyway, it seems that Jeff Bogard is checking up on you and your actions. We don't know who this guy is.

Take care of him. Rub him out. Rub him off. Got it.


Out! Twit. Kill him and get me control of Southtown. I have invested too much in this to see my plans ended. The city will be mine. All mine. Wah hah haaaah.

Translation taking the piss out of itself?

(Laughs).

John vs King

Hey, you're a woman! Go back to the kitchen, babe!


Face it, seaboy. You're in love me, right? Kiss. Kiss.


First sexual innuendo, now male chauvinism?

Whoa!

Takuma vs Takuma

Kyoku Gen Karate is not for every Tom, Dick, or Harry!


No, it's for every Hiro, Shin, and Taro! Ha ha ha!


Japanese translation for 'ordinary people' is Tomu (Tom), Penisu (Dick) and Harī (Harry).

John vs Lee

I've seen too many jungle monkies. I hate monkies. Die!


Hyo hyo hyo! I am going to show you the terror of monkey rage!


Sorry for being a smart bottom, but it's 'monkeys'.

Ryo vs John

Quit the life in the service? You're probably a couch potato.


I'm gonna teach you never to use potato in a demeaning vein!


Absolutely. Vegetables should either be mashed or roasted.

King vs Jack

Oh, hi Jack. Get it? Hi Jack. Are we going to Cuba or what? Heh, heh


I never got your stupid jokes. Die! Nymph from hell!


Hmmm, it appears bouncer wants to 'hijack' biker and do God knows what in the Caribbean.

My head aches with confusion.

Eiji vs Mickey

You have the technique of a mosquito on a cool day.


What the heck does that mean, muzzle face?!


Comeback proves that SNK had a wicked sense of humour.

Up next?

I think you already know...
