Similar to forum #27837 for fellow Capcom fighter Darkstalkers, changing the series to its more recognizable name in the rest of the world. Since Iincho/Chairperson needs to have her qualifier changed, might as well switch it to the name used in the rest of the world as well.

As for the other characters, romanization is being updated to use the official Capcom translations per the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 website, and moving Edge and Zaki to their well known nicknames rather than the lesser known full names.

Don't we hold preference for the Japanese titles? We have a whole topic for getting this done (topic #16840).

Yes, and I'm pretty sure Darkstalkers was done because it was the much more common name AND the Japanese name (Vampire) was ambiguous

Here's the correct link OP meant to include: topic #27837

NCX cited a case where we went with English titles over Japanese with Darkstalkers (topic #27837), not to mention the previous cases we've had where we've switched from Japanese to English, such as Fire Emblem (topic #16149), Xenoblade (topic #17157) , Pokemon (topic #17160), Animal Crossing (topic #17597), Dangaronpa (topic #17762), Splatoon (topic #17812), Ace Attorney (topic #19566), and probably other cases I've forgotten at this point, not to mention the fact that this practice isn't actually wholly consistent for other languages like Chinese (topic #23510), as well as the trend since topic #17011 to go with official romanizations as opposed to purely our standard, due to recognizability (something repeated in discussion in topic #30058).

BUR #42127 has been rejected.

create alias kagami_kyousuke -> kagami_kyosuke
create alias sawamura_shouma -> sawamura_shoma
create alias minazuki_kyouko -> minazuki_kyoko
create alias imawano_raizou -> imawano_raizo

create alias kirishima_kurou -> kirishima_kurow
create alias yamada_eiji -> edge_(justice_gakuen)
create alias himezaki_aoi -> zaki_(justice_gakuen)

OK, can we at least get the character names changed at least? Same reasons as before, with Edge and Zaki's disambiguations changed to the current copyright tag.
