Well, wish I had noticed there was already a translation of the back story. Oh well ^^; For now I'll just leave my version up and continue on...--Meronpan 02:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Some things I wasn't so sure about...

Some areas from my previous edit that I wasn't too sure about:

昇天蹴 - No idea what a good translation would be for this. Are there conventions for names of special moves? Since I couldn't come up with anything cool I just used the romaji to refer to the move.

怒首領蜂 - I just kinda guessed at the translation since the first part was "angry," the middle was "boss/leader/chief" and the last character meant "hornet". ...but "angry hornet queen" sounds awkward and totally random. Reference to the game or just random imagery? Also that paragraph about the game... I'm not sure I captured what ZUN was saying...

当然改変したの配るなんてもってのほかだぞぅ。 - I'm sure no one cares, but I was really struggling to figure out what this sentence in the copyright section was about. The way I saw it... 改変 is to transform/change, adding shita means "transformed/changed", "no" nominalizes it so that whole thing becomes the object of 配る so that part of the sentence becomes, "handing out changed things". So far the only thing that comes to mind is what I went with for the translation - distribution of patches. Well, but maybe it meant fan works? This is assuming もって is 以って not 持って (well, but I'm so lost I don't know if either makes sense).

...I'm sure there were a few other areas I wasn't positive about but overall I'm pretty happy.
