Conversion of iconic characters, or characters from game system to game system, can be considered an

* art as much as an exercise in exact point to point translations. So remember when converting any
character that it is important to understand the intent of the character’s ability and the description of the
statistic level of the game systems you’re converting - then use your best judgment. The following give
samples that are based off that theory of conversion. Your conversions and understandings of character
statistic level abilities may differ. If so don’t feel constrained by these examples!
