The artes/tech/spells/skills/killer moves topic

[Cless]

...I wonder if Cless has figured out how much we can stuff into that top status bar...

Well, all I can say is the english characters are half the width of the Japanese ones.

[KBTKaiser]

*checks MasterLL's hiougi video*

So 30 characters for that one...

*then checks Judas' Girenshoureizan's katakana lines*

34 characters, including the dashes

[KBTKaiser]

Let's take care of Reala first...

Tenshoudan(Sky Soaring Bullet)

Chouyaku ato, Uchioroshi no Seireidan wo hassha suru tokugi

A skill that fires a Spirit Bullet down after jumping.
---
Fuujinshou (Wind God Summon)

Kokibouna tatsumaki wo hassei saseru tokugi

A skill that creates a small tornado.
---
Gohouren (Protection Spell Lotus)

Zenpou ni teki wo fukitobasu shouhei wo tenkai, douji ni chinkyori no nakama no tairyoku wo bikaifuku saseru tokugi

A skill that creates a barrier to blow away the enemies in front while slightly healing nearby allies.
---
Ryuurendan (Flow Connect Bullet)

Ashukushita Suiryuudan wo uchihanatsu tokugi.

A skill that fires a compressed water bullet.

Honestly, I'm not sure how one would localize these right now...

Tenshoudan(Sky Soaring Bullet) = Spirit Bullet

Chouyaku ato, Uchioroshi no Seireidan wo hassha suru tokugi

A skill that fires a Spirit Bullet down after jumping.
---
Fuujinshou (Wind God Summon) Tornado Surge? Alright I know it sounds cheesy but so did many localized techs, "Surge" sounds a lot better than "Evoke" or "call"

Kokibouna tatsumaki wo hassei saseru tokugi

A skill that creates a small tornado.
---
Gohouren (Protection Spell Lotus) Gale Protection I like this one

Zenpou ni teki wo fukitobasu shouhei wo tenkai, douji ni chinkyori no nakama no tairyoku wo bikaifuku saseru tokugi

A skill that creates a barrier to blow away the enemies in front while slightly healing nearby allies.
---
Ryuurendan (Flow Connect Bullet) Water Bullet I reused bullet for the sake of the first skill "localization" (well my TRY)

Ashukushita Suiryuudan wo uchihanatsu tokugi.

A skill that fires a compressed water bullet.

Honestly, I'm not sure how one would localize these right now...

[Kevassa]

---
Souhajin- Sou Ha Jin (basic kanji works out to Blue/Green-Destroy-Blade, if I may suggest Azure Edge[the Sou kanji is typically used Souten, or Blue sky, referencing the heavens] or even Breeze Edge[to fit the element]?) Breeze Slash I would prefer, since he "slashes" though your azure idea is pretty good too

Chirihajin- Chiri ha jin (works out to Scatter Leaf Dust, which gets its name from the dust it kicks up during the move due to the high speed of the slashes.  I haven't come up with a workable localized name yet.) Slash Rain instead of "Sword" "slash", another one would be Scatter Blade that sounds more like an RPG move..

Kuushouzan (Sky Soaring Slash, I suggest, Sky Slash?) Sky Drop? Waddya think? It is just I used slash in to many of my "localizations"

---
Bakuenken(I know we probably have a working name for this so I'll skip this) Hell sword it is on radiant mythology

Senkoushou (Senkou shou, Flash Rush/Impact, I'm not quite sure what would work here right now.) Flash Spiral it fits with the description
---
Garensouhajin (Fang Linked Blue Destroy Blade, this works out to be a combination of Souhajin and Chirihajin, so...Breeze Rush?) Scatter Breeze

Kuuhazeppuugeki(Air Destroy Absolute Wind Hit, Blade Blast?) Air Blast

Toryurengekiha (Butcher Dragon Connected Hit Destroy, Dragon Destroyer?) Dragon Edge

Shikuurensatsuken (Fast Sky Connected Kill Sword, Sky Render?) Sky Slam

---
Ganzanmessaijin (Stone Slash Destroy Shatter Formation, Stone Shockwave?) Slag Assault (tales of the abyss)

Souhasuiren (Additional two slashes to the enemy) Breeze Destruction

Chirihakareha (stabbing and extracting the blade from the enemy like it was a withered leaf) Scatter Dead Dead Blade I like the first though..

Kuushoureppuu (after landing, a spinning slash that ends with a small vacuum tornado to launch the enemy) Sky Fissure

Senkoushoutsui Flash Crash

This is the first time I do this, so please find and correct the mistakes, I will try to improve, but nobody starts knowing everything, so dont treat me like "OMG that is fu**ing disgusting" plus I will re-do them when I got the time

[KBTKaiser]

Good attempts on all, but there is one thing I'd contest, which is Gale Protection, considering it's an Earth-based skill.

I'll come up with some more in a bit.

[Kevassa]

Souhajin- Azure Edge

Chirihajin- Dispersion Storm
Kuushouzan Descendant Blade
Bakuenken Hell Sword

Senkoushou Light Spiral
Garensouhajin Azure Storm

Kuuhazeppuugeki Sonic Blast
Toryurengekiha Dragon Assault

Shikuurensatsuken Celestial Swarm (?)

GazzanMessaijin= Slag Assault
Help with these.. and the reamining

[Kevassa]

I need help with kuushouzan, it is incredibly literal..  there arent too many choices to play with. but I was thinking about Heaven Slam or something...

[KBTKaiser]

A few I can came up with off the top of my head.

Souhajin->Souhasuiren
Azure Edge -> Azure Strike?

Chirihajin -> Chirihakareha
Scatter Slash -> Dead Strike?

Kuushouzan -> Kuushoureppuu
Sky Drop? -> Sky Launch?

Bakuenken -> Bakuenrenshou
Hell Sword -> Hell's Burning?

Senkoushou -> Senkoushoutsui
Light spiral -> Light spiral cannon?

Garen Souhajin -> Resshou Souhajin
Azure Storm-> Azure Gale?

Kuuha Zeppuugeki -> Reppa Messhougeki
Sonic Blast -> Sonic Impact?

Toryuu Rengekiha -> Souryu Metsugazan
Dragon Assault -> Blue Dragon (Slash)?

Shikkuu rensatsuken -> Zankuu Tenshouken
Falcon Edge/Aerial Combination? -> Soaring Falcon/Aerial Finish?

Ganzan Messaijin -> Shouou Zetsurenshou
Slag Assault -> Falcon Dive?

some food for thought?

Senkoushou, Kuushouzan and Chirihajin probably need some more minds to work with...

[me_001]

Just thought I could help a little.

Tenshoudan(Sky Soaring Bullet)  = Spirit Bullet sounds pretty nice if you ask me
Fuujinshou (Wind God Summon) = Limited Gust ? Tornado Surge sounds too big for the accual skill
Gohouren (Protection Spell Lotus) = Gale Protection is good
Ryuurendan (Flow Connect Bullet) = Drench Bullet . Pretty bad, I know, but Water Bullet is a bit bland.

-Souhajin = Azure Fang (First Tales skill = fang, no?)
Souhasuiren = Azure Strike
-Chirihajin = Scatter (Disperse, Split) Rain (since Chirihajin sounds a lot like Chirisazame)
Chirihakareha = Scatter Rain : Alpha. On second though, it's pretty bad.
-Kuushouzan = Sky (aeral) Drop. Both sound good.
Kuushoureppuu = Sky (aeral) Launch. I like this one.
-Bakuenken = Hell Sword. Official Localisation
Bakuenrenshou = Hell's Burning (combustion, incineration)
-Senkoushou = Light twist. I personaly like twist better.
Senkoushoutsui = Light Twist Cannon. I don't know what it looks like, but if there is no "cannon" you could go Victory Light Twist (sounds nicer too)
-Garen Souhajin = Azure Storm
Resshou Souhajin = Azure Rush. I think the attack look more like a rush than a gale
-Kuuha Zeppuugeki = Blast Impact . I think Sonic sounds forced.
Zappa Messhougeki = Fiery Blast Impact? Not that good, doesn't sound "epic Hi Ougi" like
-Toryuu Rengekiha = Dragon Assault. (or may be rain, since he does a little sword rain at the end.)
Souryu Metsugazan = Regal Dragon (Wyrm?) Dive
-Shikkuu rensatsuken = Falcon Edge
Zankuu Tenshouken = Soaring Falcon. Isn't there an offical translation?
-Ganzan Messaijin = Slag Assault. Official, right?
Shouou Zetsurenshou = Falcon Dive (drive, driver, diver).

-Soudashou = Heavy Juggle. Or, if it sounds lame, Heavy Strike.
Soudarenshuu = Heavy Acrobat. Of ir it sounds lame, Heavy Finisher?
- Raijinshou = Thunder Axe.
Raijinkourin = Volt Rush
- Houtsuishou = Impale Launch
Houtsuihoutsui = Gale Launch
- Muhyoushou = Freeze Cannon
Muhyoutsuisen = Iceberg Fall
- Bakkaishou = Earth Slam
Bakkaimoutsui = Earth Discharge?
- Kappa Bakusougeki = Skull Split
Critical Blade = Critical Blade
- Kuuhatokkoudan = Kamikaze Dive. Genius if you ask me.
Spiral Driver = Spiral Driver
- Senkoubappa = Beast Howl (impact?).
Final Prayer = Final Prayer
- Shinkuukassaijin = Divine Cleave. Genius too, I wouldn't dare to touch it.
Long Attack Name =
       Heaven Shaking, Sky Rending, Flash Slash, Whirlwind Exterminate, Shatter Divine Punishment, Split Killer, Attack
Or if you want something a little more localised :
       Heaven Shaking, Heart Pounding, Skull Spliting, Ear Piercing, Bone Crushing, All Hell Loose, Killer Strike
Failure
       (...) Crushing,  Improvisation Strike



I really hope that helped. . Sorry if I messed up your hard work, but I wanted to help my favorite translation project ever.

[Kevassa]

this is incredibly amazing O.O I thought my tries werent going to be accepted, but some of my ideas actually got IN :O

I thought many of your "tries" were very professional like. Let's just hope Cless likes them...

I'm in no position to comment on the proposed names right now, but when we start working on them (i.e. if/when we figure out how to reduce the text size in the menu), the tech names will be very heavily analyzed. Continuity with the official US names will be used where possible.

That brings a new hope that this will be used sooner than expected Umm I will try harder, though probably most of my skill names wont fit for the limit -.- Got an idea pproximately how muchw ill be the character limit?

If the width is halved, at least 16 since I think the longest name in Japanese is 8. 17 or 18 may be possible but that could be pushing it. However, we could make it even skinnier to fit maybe 24. Hopefully that wouldn't be too thin...

[KBTKaiser]

This is why progress goes by faster if there's more mind walls to bounce ideas off of.
