Revision History
----------------

1.00B - 100% complete beta. First "official" release of the game patch. See notes below regarding known deficiencies.


Future (Potential) Enhancements
----------------------

- Some text cleanup is necessary to make sure everything fits in the appropriate text boxes. I just need to find them all.


Known issues
------------

- Some menu text slightly spills over their background boxes. The two places I've seen it are the title screen ("Tournament") and the status screen ("Equip"). Neither were chopped off and barely overflow, so I'm leaving them as-is.
- Some potions names had to be cut down and I used the closest thing that my dictionary could come up with, so yes Virginia, there is a "Weed Potion".
- I'm debating about changing the names of some potion effects like "Muteki", "Tetsujin", etc that show up at the top of the screen, but since they show up in Romaji and the potion name and description in English, I think I may leave them alone. It's also a little more useful if you're reading any of the FAQs on the game floating around to leave them be.
- Since I can't beat the game on the laptop and I haven't gotten a good burn yet, I can't vouch for all of the text towards the end. In particular, there's some that looks like it may not have ever been used in-game. In some cases, the translation didn't look right until I actually saw it in context.

Thanks

- Squaresoft/Dream Factory for making a fun little game. The original was great and the first "true" 3D fighter. The sequel is a vast improvement and I'm glad I could put this patch together.
