         Well, what do you think? I'd appreciate any and all feedback on
 this, positive or negative. On a side note, I was thinking of Ryoga getting
 the girl curse when/if the two ever visit Jusenkyo.>> 

(This would be interesting, but it's been done a lot. Why not a different 
curse or an altogether new one? And consider this: Ranma fell from said cliff 
into Jusenkyo, which Genma was unwittingly standing over, and he falls into 
the spring of drowned devil, and gets the form of Devil from Tekken 2? That 
would present an excellent foe for Ryouga.)

I think a better concept would be for Ranma to fall into a pool such that
his cursed form is actually two entities.  Not twins but physical
personifications of what makes up this new Ranma; Devil and Angel.  This
Ranma can war against himself in a clash of Anger/Hate/Revenge/etc versus
Honor/Love/Passion/etc.

     My only other question is, how else would this intersect with Tekken, 
aside from situations? Are you considering cameos/steady roles by other 
Tekken regulars? (HINT: Paul vs. Ryouga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Again, I like this 
idea a lot.

Also, if you want to follow the Tekken storyline some more, Akane can be 
Jun.  Ie, Kazuya+Jun, Ranma+Akane.  Although the end doesn't have to be
the same...

After all, who would want to side with someone that willingly throws his
kid off a cliff?  The guy doesn't even take responsibility for it (but
then again, this _is_ Genma).
