The analyses of a text #3

I have returned, and with yet another surprise for the Kamen Rider community! This time we have HK subs for the rest of Skyrider!
Episode 1-31 are the KITSUBS releases, while episode 32-54 are the raws I uploaded with softsub files for the English HK subs included. You can now see the whole series completely with English subs of at least some kind.
Unfortunately, like the Super-1 HKs, the discs irresponsibly cuts parts out of the episodes, so there is roughly a minute of unsubbed content in each episode. Most of it is unimportant, but a few of it is an annoying loss. Stupid bootlegs.
Naturally, support KITSUBS and their amazing efforts to properly fansub the series. I have no problem with them making this torrent complete unnecessary in the coming months. But for those of you who needed something to tie you over til then, this does the trick. The subs are pretty much the same quality as what you saw in X and Super-1. Lacking and flawed translation, but accurate enough to get you through the story and help you understand what's happening in each episode.

I'd like to know why it is "complete," not "completely."
And I'd like to know if "It is" implied before "lacking."
Thank you in advance for your help.

It looks as if "complete" is just an error or typo for "completely". "lacking" is an adjective modifying "translation". " (the article "a" is necessary).

"lacking" is an adjective modifying "translation". The meaning is "It/This is a lacking and flawed translation, but ..." (the article "a" is necessary).

"tie you over" appears to be an error for "tide you over".

I'm so sorry for my tardy question. Emotion: sweating
I have difficult times in distinguishing a clause in which the first parts was omitted

park sang joonSo I was wondering if a subject and the verb 'be' can't be omitted together in the first complete clause, as in my example.
Your example is an informal shortening. It is not a formally grammatically complete sentence. Such omissons can happen in informal speech and writing.
