Translation of fighting game play

Hello. I wish to add an appropriate translation to an article about a meme(Umehara ga kimeta) that originated from a fighting game in Japanese.

I would appreciate it if someone who has knowledge of martial arts or fighting games and is a native speaker of English could help me out with the text.

The original 17-second video can be found here, and the text in the Japanese source is as follows

「ウメハラがぁ！捕まえてぇぇ！ウメハラがぁ！画面端ぃっ！バースト読んでえぇっ！まだ入るぅ！ウメハラがぁっ！…つっ近づいてぇっ！ウメハラがぁ決めたぁぁーっ！」

The “つっ” part is important, and the play-by-play announcer originally wanted to say “捕まえて,” i.e., catch and throw, but this part cannot be omitted because it indicates that the game did not unfold that way and that the players moved beyond the play-by-play announcer's expectations.

If there are any improvements to current translation, please revise it.狄の用務員 (talk) 03:26, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I made some edits to the English. Erynamrod (talk) 11:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Japanese tabletop role-playing games

The English versions of Chaos Flare and Gear Antique were both deleted by AFD in 2018. I was hoping to see if someone knew of any reliable sources in Japanese to help restore them? They may have been reviewed in offline sources that would not easily be found online. For the Gear Antique game, some passing mentions in a Google Books search came up for the Japanese name: ギア・アンティーク BOZ (talk) 16:48, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Nana's Green Tea

I've created a new page for Nana's Green Tea. Are any project members able to add more information about operations within Japan? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:17, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Japan:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
