[@SirNarax]

Yeah this is why translating language is so complex. Even when there are literal 1:1 word to word translations they don't make much sense when translated or don't have the same impact. I can't speak for Native Japanese speakers on how "House of Boom" sounds to them if there is a 1:1 translation but to an English speaker using a normal noun to describe an ultimate move in a fighting game doesn't have a strong effect. You want a proper noun like House of Boom.

I honestly prefer just the subtitles. It makes it feel a lot more personal, like Sakurai himself is presenting it to me. Edit: I wanted to clarify; I mean in the context of the voice over. Something about hearing Sakurai's voice alone with the subtitles makes it feel a lot more personal than having someone else's voice talk over him to translate.
