hey guys, just thought i'd give an update on some findings from recently.
back when the game first came out there was a small conception that jp would be faster since in other games, japanese and other similar languages are faster than eng generally due to faster scrolling text/less text boxes. since this game has a fair amount of dialogue in it, it was thought that jp would be faster.
but nobody really ran it with jp (other than jp runners, obviously) because many microgames are heavily based around what text is used, specifically the kat and ana boss. but @Rubiks made a document a few months ago of all the text translations that would need to be used for a run (here it is if anyone needs it for something https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/590560089170116640/902963605899706388/jpn_translation_warioware_get_it_together.txt ). this allowed people to manage games that required text without completely knowing jp for everything. however, there still wasn't really anyone that ran with jp (once again, outside of jp runners).
it wasnt until a few days ago when @Firesplitter completed an any% run with jp. it mostly only used the kat and ana translations to pass the boss, but it still showed that it was possible to complete a run with jp without completely knowing everything. there was one catch though, thrill ride would be brutal for anyone running without knowing jp. due to the player having absolutely no room for error in any of the microgames, if you ever got a quiz-type microgame that required the use jp, it would be near impossible to navigate the document and process everything before the microgame is over and you lose a massive amount of time.
but it was found out that due to the way that dialogue works in this game, jp doesnt actually really make a big or even actual difference at all. the only place where we though potentially there could be a massive difference was the dialogue after completing any%. but when i frame counted my mashing against nao's mashing for that section, i found out that its the exact same speed
so as it turns out, jp is actually not faster for this game! so if you're on eng, do not worry about having to constantly manage translations/memorize everything for a better time.
that's all i've got, have fun with the wario game
