[Haspen]

Unfortunately I'm so used to typing in English here that I sometimes have memory lapses where I know the English word but doesn't remember its Polish translation.

I'm slowly turning English I:

[Solymr]

It happens to me too. Mostly when trying to translate things like "harem master"

[SeriousConcentrate]

Huh. Hey, now that I'm thinking about it, I have question that's been bugging me since I was little.

You know two languages, Haspen. Which one do you think in? Like, if you're thinking about lunch, do you think about what you're going to eat in English or in Polish?

@NinjaSolymr: I didn't realize English wasn't your first language. If you don't mind my asking, what is? You don't have to, I'm just curious about everything.

[Haspen]

Normally when I'm thinking 'intensely' about something it's in Polish... if I 'think' a subcounscious reaction to some funny image or part of a movie or something, more than often my brain slips few English words out before I reset into Polish.

It's terrifying, confusing, and annoying quite a bit :c

[SeriousConcentrate]

That's interesting. Thanks for answering, Hasp. ^^^

[Solymr]

I'm from the land of toros y flamenco
And yes, my thoughts are bilingual too, but in my case it's just the natural result of adapting my thoughts to the language I can better express them.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Cool. ^^^ Thanks for answering both questions, Solymr.

_{Vega was always the best street fighter I'm just saying}

[Solymr]

Wasn't Vega supposed to be called Balrog? That doesn't sound too spanish

[SeriousConcentrate]

Yeah, I prefer the American version of the boss names. I believe in Japan Balrog was M. Bison (a little too on the nose for a boxer imo ), Vega was Balrog, and M. Bison was Vega. Whoever localized it made a good decision.

[Solymr]

Ok back on track.

Why don't you name Ursa's class "Mountain Man" or something like that? It fits him much more than Bandit.

[Sirus]

...okay, you lost me. I thought the boxer was Balrog, the claw-and-mask dude was Vega, and the Nazi was M. Bison. Is that wrong now?

Ninja @ Soly: Because he's more of a forest man than anything, background-wise. Honestly, he's only a Bandit because I want a berserker and being a pirate wouldn't fit at all. If Fighters could promote to berserkers then I would have gone that route.

[Solymr]

They switched names

What abot Wild Man? Or ask Blade pretty please to allow fighter into berserker?

[Sirus]

Wild Man and Big Man are pretty much it, really. I doubt Blade would allow me to switch classes at this point considering we're already promoted

[SeriousConcentrate]

...okay, you lost me. I thought the boxer was Balrog, the claw-and-mask dude was Vega, and the Nazi was M. Bison. Is that wrong now?

No, that's correct now all over (I think). It's just that when Street Fighter 2 originally released in Japan, the boxer was M. Bison, the Spanish ninja was Balrog, and Raul Julia was Vega. The ones you listed were what they changed them to in America (mainly to avoid possibly being sued by Mike Tyson) and frankly the shuffled version is superior if you ask me.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Wild Man and Big Man are pretty much it, really. I doubt Blade would allow me to switch classes at this point considering we're already promoted

Your doubts are well founded.

And the only promotion swap I'd consider allowing would be letting Fighters promote to Heroes, like in FE8.
