Re:Infoboxes
There's nothing that says "Most pleasant" anywhere in the link you gave me. There is (very roughly translated):

年齢 (Age)

身長 (Height)

体重 (Weight)

誕生日 (Birth month and day)

血液型 (Bloodtype)

国籍 (County of origin)

格闘スタイル (Fighting style)

趣味 (Hobbies)

特技 (Talents)

大切なもの (Important/treasured things)

苦手なもの (Uncomfortable/awkward things)

好きなもの (Likes)

嫌いなもの (Dislikes)

好きな食べ物 (Favorite foods)

好きな音楽 (Favorite music)

得意スポーツ (Sport)

I find no need to separate "Good things" which tends to translate as "Likes" and "Important things" as they are essentially the same things. Also you shouldn't literally translate the wording for all of the infoboxes. For example, the "X" in Rock's profile is just another way of saying he hates it. It doesn't literally mean the letter "X". Furthermore, as Rock does not have any birth year listed for him, do not assume to know it and list it as if it were official. Officially, no Mark of the Wolves character has any birth years listed for them. Kyosei 20:13, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * The birth year of Rock is easy to see by Terry's age in Garou: Mark Of The Wolves. The game's storyline takes place in 2006 and Rock is 17 years old, it is clear that he is from 1989
 * This is still a gross assumption and not officially stated anywhere. Images for the infoboxes are based on their latest game appearance. The latest game Terry has appeared in is KOF XIII. When does Falcoon ever say anything about Terry liking cigarettes in KOF Another Day? The only comment that was made about Terry the entire episode was that he smelled like smoke. The reason why he smelled like smoke was because he rescued the portrait of Rock's mother from a burning building. Not that he was out smoking. Kyosei 21:05, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * In the original Japanese dialogue, he does not say he is going out to smoke. He says he's going to take a nap. This is not based on any English subtitles from the "US censorship" but from the original footage. I don't know what translation you're using but it's not right. Kyosei 21:26, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * The intro paragraph for Second Southtown already stated that they were already "sister" cities and thus neighboring towns. The trivia note was redundant. Kyosei 21:47, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * My translations are based off of the original Japanese text from SNK, not what my country decides to translate it as. I have a fairly good grasp of Japanese by listening to it by ear and in no way does Terry say he's going for a smoke. He says he's going to take a nap. Whoever translated the anime for your country has a bad ear.


 * 苦手  Three completely different online translators and dictionaries and they all agree on the same definition. 苦手 does not mean "good". It means bad, poor or weak which is the complete opposite meaning of good in every sense of the word. Whatever translator you are using is incorrect.


 * Once again, real world math has no bearing on a fictional game series. If SNK decides not to give the characters birth years, then likewise we should not be arrogant and assume for them what they should be. We are not SNK. No matter how "correct" it is, it is still not official.

 * If you are going to use an online translator, I would suggest you use anything but Google. It's not that accurate for Japanese or any other Asian language for that matter. Any of the ones I linked above or animelab's and infoseek's Japanese to English translators/dictionaries are better than Google's. Kyosei 20:53, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
