I'm tidying up some of my translations for Final Fire Pro, and am having some trouble with the scouts from Management of the Ring mode. I think they're named after backstage staff and managers but I'm not certain. I used a bit of poetic licence before but now I'm looking for something a bit more accurate. Here's what I've got:
Mr.ｸｴｽﾁｮﾝ - Mr. Question - Not sure, I've just left it as Mr. Question.
ウイリー坂口 - Willy Sakaguchi - Wally Yamaguchi seemed an obvious fit.
ﾘｸﾀ-･ﾏｯドﾈｽ - Rikuta Madness - A bit lost on this one. I thought maybe Earthquake but the only clue was the name (Rikuta/Richter?)
デビル・マサ - Devil Masa - Masa Saito(?) His fake roster name is Masa Zombie so it didn't seem like a huge leap.
石見会長 - Iwami Kaicho (Chairman/President) - Shoichi Arai(?) I arrived at this conclusion a while ago but I can't remember how I linked the two. Other than being President of FMW that is.
Any help would really be appreciated, I'm going mad reading old Japanese forums!

Yamaguchi & Saito are definitively right.
Didn't they have traits? Like, this scout prefers Strong Style wrestlers and such. Could help.

Rikuta Madness = Viktor Quinones?

I have no idea if this helps at all since they seem to be based on real people, but there is a Mr. Question from India in the old Tiger Mask manga (looks like he made it to Tiger Mask W also). Maybe an Easter egg since he's a foreigner and a scout?
I found an old NJPW article with a match listed as: Ishin Gundan (“The Devil” Masa Saito & Killer Khan) vs. The Connection (Adrian Adonis & Jesse “The Body” Ventura)
So yep! Saito is definitely right on.

Could Director Iwami be Kazuyoshi Ishii, founder of K-1?

I've got a funny feeling the instruction manual or one of the guides might shed more light one them, but in game all you get are the names and their costs a month: Iwami - 600 Devil Saito - 500 Richter Madness - 500 Wally Yamaguchi - 500 Mr. Question - 300 Rikuta Madness = Viktor Quinones? That would make far more sense that Earthquake. I have no idea if this helps at all since they seem to be based on real people, but there is a Mr. Question from India in the old Tiger Mask manga (looks like he made it to Tiger Mask W also). Maybe an Easter egg since he's a foreigner and a scout? I found an old NJPW article with a match listed as: Ishin Gundan (“The Devil” Masa Saito & Killer Khan) vs. The Connection (Adrian Adonis & Jesse “The Body” Ventura) So yep! Saito is definitely right on. I'd thought about Mr. Question from Tiger Mask too but wasn't sure. I'll keep him as that for now definitely. Could Director Iwami be Kazuyoshi Ishii, founder of K-1? Sounds like a good match. I really wish I could find a bit more information on the scouts the know for sure. Has anyone got a copy of the manual or know where I could get a scan? I've seen a boxed version of the game on Amazon Japan and am very tempted to go for it, the only thing putting me off is it's £70 and my wife will lose it with me... again. |

Don’t they each go to a different region? That may help.
Victor Q seems like a good choice since he had the Puerto Rico and Japan connections.

Masa Saito was a “scout” in that as well Brilliant idea! I checked it out and Masa Saito is listed as Zombie Masa in Fighting Road. I read through the guide on GameFAQs by WEWAfed and he has a character listed as "101. ??? (Man W/T-Shirt {From K-1??})", which definitely supports sofia 's idea of Kazuyoshi Ishii. I've ordered the boxed copy with instructions, hopefully it contains all the answers but probably not. |
