Two things, here. One of them is an honest-to-god nitpick, and the other one is more sinister.

The nitpick: Balrog never said OOOH YEAAAAH in Japanese, either. Example, from the malco.tsc file in Cave Story:

「ヘーイ！

That'd be "Heei", romanized directly, and more like a really big "HEY!" if you translated it 1:1. Thing is, that's kinda boring. The act of localization isn't just "make the moonspeak into english," it's also rewriting slightly to make the text more engaging... Like so: "Huzzah!" is a more fun interjection than just OH YEAH.

Now, for the sinister: The fact of the matter is that some of Aeon Genesis' translation is still lurking in the files. Just, in places that are not accessed normally, apparently. Note the Huzzah! on the file to the right side of that comparison. This, my friends, is a problem.

So if you're going to nitpick, how about this one: Why is she wearing a messenger bag instead of something more travel-friendly like a backpack?

So she can reach in and grab her bombs from it!

Unfortunately,
I think that is not correct.
I see two mistakes.

First, the number of
syllables in the third line
is one too many.

Second, that is not
the verb to use when you speak
of things not alive.

I would explain more,
but if I write another
haiku, I will die.

It seems I have erred.
I will attempt to fix this!
Have a look at it:

I can't believe I made such
a careless mistake.

みてみて！ - Look, Look! (Google Translate translated this as "Take a look!)

---

"見てみて" is literally "try looking" or "take a look," so "みてみて" could easily just be that. :o But this is splitting hairs -- "look, look!" and "take a look!" are close enough in meaning as it is.

If it actually accesses step charts that are actually unique and not normally accessible then I would say it belongs, otherwise if it's just glitching the game, I think the cutting room floor doesn't cover glitches. If you can get the DDR data files and look around to see if there are step charts that aren't normally accessible, then that would be acceptable. It's not a glitch wiki.

---

They're legitimate stepfiles that can only be accessed through glitching nonstop -- some of the stepfiles are clearly extremely early test charts (one of them... Last Message Oni? I think) is a bunch of 16th notes perfectly synced up to the beat of the song... but only on one arrow, and only a small part of the song. The songs that cause the game to crash are the ones that don't have step data available on that difficulty.

Jesus, I haven't thought about this stuff in ages. Thanks for reminding me about it!
