The idea of translations does not bother me. I don't understand the need to know every bit of minutiae about the game I'm playing, but hey, that's me.
A seperate mode in the sound test wouldn't bother me either. I might use it once or twice if put in for curiosity's sake, but not be appalled at it's omission.
What repels me is the idea that you want subtitles in game. Text, that you must READ, while at the same time trying to fight and defend against up to three other players. It would clog up the screen with needless dialogue when you should really be worried about the fight in front of you.
You really don't see a problem with TEXT on the screen while you're trying to fight? Man, I want to play SSB with you sometime because if you're worried about understanding the lyrics on a foriegn language song while playing, you must not give a rats ass about the fight itself.

Well, really, every character in the SC universe is either good or evil. They either want Soul Edge or want to destroy it. They have to land somewhere on the fence, what does it matter in the grand scheme of things which side that is? Nationality has nothing to do with it. It's the same reason there are no Indian or Russian characters either: there just aren't or they haven't gotten there yet. The game is set primary it Europe and Asia, so that is from where most of the fighters hail.
What was Zasalamel's nationality?
