Kyar.
Blame Meeple.
Ranma 1/2 is probably easier to interpret than you'd expect. Despite the fact that characters have cursed forms, statistics do not change between forms. A couple techs require one form, though, but that's probably one of the only things that the forms affect.
Damage for physicals seems to be subtractive, and the enemies I tested on had a defense of ~70. For enemy attacks, it's (Enemy Attack Power - PC's defense)/2, so a large difference in defense isn't quite as pronounced as it seems in raw numerics.
Levels are taken at 40 (or ~600,000 exp), which might be a bit overlevelled. I dunno. It isn't too unreasonable either way, though.
Ki is what's used for techniques. Ki costs vary depending on the technique, but not all techniques cost Ki. It's a bar, and the game doesn't really list how much each technique is, so I eyeballed them and tried to see how many times a character could use a certain technique before running out. Note that Ki costs vary on level (or by something else. Not sure) somehow.
You usually start battles with a full ki bar, but it can be partially filled if you use a lot of ki in one fight and fight a random shortly afterwards.
The defend skill in the game is incredibly badass, reducing damage that does hundreds to single digits. It also restores a bit of ki (~8%, it took 12 turns of defending to go from near zero to almost full), allowing for some really obnoxious turtling strategies for some characters (assuming you allow universal defend commands and such).
Equipment is generally the best storebought stuff available. I included a couple other weapons for defensive boosts. Ignoring accessories for now.
Stats
---
HP is HP.
Power adds to Attack
Speed is a complete mystery.
Strength adds to Defense.
Status Effects
---
Paralysis lasts 3-4? turns. Hitting opponents does not break Paralysis, I think.
Confusion. Enemies will attack themselves or allies. ~2 turns. Getting hit does not break confusion.
Sleep. Lasts 3-4 turns.

Tekizen Daigyakusou: Flee in terror, with NO KI COST!?!!1 hi
Ryuusekyaku (~18%): 483. [2x]
Amaguriken (~18%): 345. [1.5x]
Hiryuu Shoten Ha (~28%): 345, MT. He could do this three times, and he couldn't use Ryuusekyaku or Amarguriken afterwards. [1.5x]
Hishoukyaku (~35%): 764. [3x]
Hiryuu Kourindan (~48-50%): 625, MT. [2.5x]

Teate (~0%): Heals 100 damage. This costs Ki early in the game, but it's virtually free at my level.
Jigoku Guruma (~18%): 269 [1.5x]
Mina Teate (~18%): Heals 150 damage, MT.
Yama Arashi (~30%): 269, MT [1.5x]
Mina Chiryou (~40%): Full healing?, MT. (healed Ranma from 1 to 509)
Zenkai Teate (~60%): Revival and/or full heal.
Moeru Kobushi (0%): 1738 [8x]. This is an Ultima-esque move that Akane learns at level 99. However, levelling to 99 in this game takes forever (it takes millions of experience, and fights give you thousands), so take this how you want. This is an insane damage boost for her, assuming you allow it.

Shanmao Kikoudan (~18%): 412, MT. [1.5x]
Mouko Rakuchizei (~66%): Run away! If someone wants to find out how this is better than Ranma's flee skill (which is free and gotten earlier), be my guest.
Mouko Takabisha (~8%): Draws enemy attacks. The ultimate duelling move, short of kililng yourself.
Mouko Ichegekitai (~60%): 572, MT. [2x]
Rouga Shuuhaitai (~66%): 572. [2x] Someone should explain why this costs more and is single target.
