Just about every Neo Geo game. Does Ryo calling people "dweebenheimer" count as a mistranslation or was SNK trying to be hip?

Do you not realize that the word "Engrish" is a mispronunciation? The literal meaning of it is just mispronouncing English words like "okay" which can be as simple as "OOhkeiYA"

I would mention King Leo (Shin Shishioh), but I just remembered he actually has an american VA. It's just that his lines are corny as hell. The weird thing is that his "shadow" (King Lion, weaker version) actually speaks in japanese.

What's with Japan's obsession with the word "buster"?

Crude Buster
Air Buster
Little Busters
Buster Wolf
Gunbuster

Is it what Japanese consider beginner English, like "apple", "dog", "buster"?

I like how it makes no sense at all:
1) Why ask "are you ok" BEFORE the attack?
2) What the fuck is "buster wolf" anyway? I get the "wolf" part (because of "Garou Densetsu"), but it's about as Engrish as it gets.

"Are you ok" is probably supposed to be like "get ready" or "here it comes"
