Project Overview
Hello everyone, now some of you have probably heard of and/or played a racing game from the PS1 called Mega Man: Battle & Chase and enjoyed what was there, but thought it was nothing special and lacked replay value aside from kart customization. The thing is however that the English version released in Europe and on the Mega Man X Collection were HEAVILY stripped down in an aspect that changes the entire foundation of the game...a sporting atmosphere.
That's right, before Street Fighter 6 came in with dynamic host commentary, this game did it and thensome. Interviews with the characters before races, advice on the track selection for what would be best to customize for, voiced cutscenes and endings that make replaying the game as every character more rewarding, and of course unique color commentary during the races by the three hosts that were mostly excluded from the English version. This takes a game that was otherwise trial and error configuring and long stretches of not much happening and turns it into a special and fast paced game that earned its Japanese following for a reason.
So what I want to do is to bring this experience to English audiences by taking the Japanese version's full package and backporting the European version's English language, and that's where you guys come in. I'm looking for a last few voice actors that can bring these characters to life and I'm now looking for translators to nail down the Japanese dialogue into English. I'm gonna be editing the actual voice work into the game itself whenever that's done.

Because of my translator cutting contact with me, the project has been at a screeching halt until I can find anyone or any groups willing to fluently translate the dialogue from Japanese to English. For anyone who's actually curious, I have all the uninterrupted audio files on hand for translating and they might be difficult to keep up with because of just how fast they speak during the gameplay. Now that's not to say the dialogue will entirely be one to one with the Japanese version because not only character names like Rock Man, Blues & Forte will be changed to their English counterparts but some spice could be added to places with otherwise unmemorable dialogue. It'll otherwise push to be a faithful adaptation and those changes will be up to me and a fellow director, but we need to get the full gist first. So if you're fluent in Japanese or know anyone fluent in Japanese, please consider helping me out with this project.

*Say something you think would fit*
Created by Dr. Wily to rival Mega Man in just about every way, Bass is almost the complete opposite of Mega Man personality wise. He's arrogant, hot tempered, vain and obsessed with power, having a bone to pick with both Mega Man and anyone who believes they could do a better job than him. Naturally, he entered Battle & Chase with his wolf Treble modified as the Treble Darkstar to settle the score once he heard Mega Man entered as well.
Any take on the character is solid, but he should absolutely be as angsty as possible.
You are far too weak, Mega Man. Wily may fear you, but I do not!
Ha! You created me? So what? If you created a powerful robot such as myself, it must have been an accident.
Mega Man and car racing? Hmm, a great opportunity to prove who's the best.
Arguably Dr. Light's most prominent assistant might also be the Blue Bomber's biggest fan...with a whole collection of paper fans to prove it. He's usually pretty upbeat and eccentric, but he's also a wannabe hero that happens to be a huge help thanks to his fanaticism of inventing helping him bring many items, upgrades and weapons to help anyone with the right amount of bolts. He doesn't actually show up at the races...but you might catch him with Eddie pretending to race during the loading screen.
This'll be another minor role, but Auto could be best likened voice and personality-wise to a weebish fan of the Mega Man games able to help him out with a fanatic knowledge of his world. Though with his Kansai dialect in the original, might help to make him more casual and comical with his speech.
Mega Man, I got a whole lotta parts for you!
I REALLY want fan letters too...
(Legally distinct censors in this part) Incredibly incredible! That blade is just like StrXXer HXXyu(Strider Hiryu)...Oh! Okay, I'll never say that again.
Turbo Man is in the same branch as Spring Man in being part of Wily's seventh batch of robot masters. However just like how Spring Man mellowed out, Turbo Man's become much more of a humble mentor compared to the cocky racer he was before, also being well known as one of the best Battle & Chase racers. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to show up for mechanically issue much to Quick Man's chagrin as someone who wanted to race him, but why did he have issues? Blame the Dark Troops.
I'd say have the capacity to keep the cockier personality he previously had, but come off as someone who knows the career of racing inside out.
Sorry. My mechanics were off...couldn't enter.
It's the G-1 Circuit, It'll be a showdown with just you and me.
I can even give a handicap if you wish, your cornering is pretty weak at the moment.
