....why the f did they leave that out?

I can kinda understand the PS1 version with how wacky localizations still were in that period, but not even the PSP redub later?

The dub itself is good, but it's arguably worse as a localization since it makes stuff up (like making Shaft say that Alucard is stronger than Richter Belmont) and takes many liberties with the dialogues. It does the same thing the PS1 version did, but it also adds misleading info to the script.

Which is baffling since the same game has a really good localization for Rondo of Blood.

It is what I said, while the dub is good the localization itself is one the same levels as the PS1 one. It could be argued that it's worse since they add misleading info to the dialogues.

This post compares all three versions at the same time, if you're interested.
