Looks great! The only thing is that the H is a little confusing  \ I agree. If the middle of the H's were connected it would look better to me. |

  Now the only thing I'd also change is the "e" in "the". EDIT: Wait, there're two more "h"s! |

I know this may start a ridiculous arguement, but why are you using "Samurai Shodown" instead of "Samurai Spirits"?
Because this translation is intended to look as professional as possible. All professional translations of Samurai Spirits titles have been called Samurai Shodown in the U.S. Ergo, the change. By the same token, I won't be using any honorifics, nor will you see any Romaji outside of proper names. Now that you mention it, I agree with the change to the H in Bushido. |

Sometimes it pays to stick with what's common rather than what's accurate.  Just ask Aster Dandelion. |

Sometimes it pays to stick with what's common rather than what's accurate. Not sure who Aster Dandelion is, but both names are perfectly valid. But the name for the English-speaking audience is, and has always been intended to be, "Samurai Shodown." As for honorifics... they have no place in an English translation. Using them isn't accuracy; it's just laziness (or a pigheaded adherance to the notion that the Japanese is simply better for some inexplicable reason). |

If you live in Japan, she's "Aiborii Usagi no Onna no Ko", or "Ivory Rabbit Girl". She's the protagonist of Sylvanian Families - The Fairyland Pendant, the translation of which exists mostly because I was going to go with what was accurate rather than what was common, and had an intense need to atone for my act of hypocrisy. ^_^;
The three houses and all the characters featured are guaranteed 100% accurate...the furniture sets, somewhere around 66%, the buildings and locations, who knows? -_-; I wasn't able to get information on everything, but everybody who's played it likes it, so...
On a side note, you and I have the exact same stance on honorifics.

I don't speak a damn worth of japanese, yet I understood everything/got every reference in "kajitani-eizan-sama"'s post. Does it make me an anime nerd? ;_; Does it mean the kawai chikara runs strong in my veins? What the hell, I'm a sad person indeed ;_; (And... "chan"? o_O) |

Only if you're the same age. "-chan" can be used to address children (or pets) of either gender.

-kun is generally for boys, but -chan can be appended to both genders depending on how close the speaker is to the person getting -chan'd and what he/she's trying to convey. It can be anything from endearing to insulting. Young boys tend to get -chan'd more often than other males.
