    A couple days ago I got a few copies of the US version of Evo from SOA in the mail, and I've been checking it out a little.

    Basically, seems the same to me overall as the Japanese version. The changes everyone knows about are there: Brad and Vanessa's costume changes, and Shun doesn't turn red. I was curious about how Brad's Aloha shirt would change as he ranked up, and here again it's different from the japanese version: at 5th kyu, instead of getting a purple shirt, his black aloha shirt's flowers turn purple, while the shirt stays black. This seems to be always the case, except I bought the silver color, and then the shirt turns silver, with a light white aloha pattern.

    for some reason, they changed the name of the 1st tourney in Quest mode to "Beginner's Cup", and the second is now "West King Cup" instead of the first.

    I checked out the translations in Tactics Advice by running through Akira's section, as it was my job to translate this stuff into English for SOA, and I wanted to see how it came out. Seems like they stuck to what I wrote almost exactly (someone else did Challenge and Tutorial, I also did the combo notes in Free Training). Got my name in the credits in the manual /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

    Speaking of the manual, it isn't as nice as last time, B&W, almost the exact same as the Jap version's manual, but the character Bios have been shortened, and the cool notes about each character's play style/ease of use from last time are gone.

    There doesn't seem to be any support for progressive scan, although the 10th anniversary game is on the disc, and isn't mentioned in the manual. It's under a heading called "Special" in the options menu. The game loads as a separate game, and tells you "your current game in Evo will be erased, do you want to save the system file?".

    I wanna go back and check out the translations for challenge etc.

    Basically, pretty much what everyone expected. Oh, the ring names are pretty bad, and even most of the HaoOh's names were changed to some stupid shit, like Hakushon Lau MaOh became "Professor", and a bunch of other strange ones. last time, they kept them intact, so I don't know why they changed it.

    I suppose the mem-card issue wasn't fixed, as was expected, otherwise you would've mentioned so (or is that progressive scan? Sorry to be a layperson, but the meaning of progressive scan slips my mind at the moment). I'm happy to get the game, but all of these changes kind of frustrate me /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif

    By the way, I've been away from VFDC for quite some time now, so; what exactly is the 10th anniversary game?

    Hi,
    One question,
    Is Minami in US version?

    and How about Koeran version?(I read from am2site)
    is that also with 10th ann?
    When is coming out?

    I hope Koeran version is like HK version, Instruction is in Koerans, and game a stil in Jap.

    But if like this..........., why not a new jap version?( THey said the possible for Jap10thaan is zero.)

    Thanks /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif
