Like Capcom localization has ever used one of THOSE!

 

[explodet]

Bass - The fish, or the low pitch?

Capcom decided to go with the former in Mega Man 8, IIRC.
Even though he had a robot dog named Treble!

 

[Kobun Heat]

I'm not saying Capcom's localizations aren't fucking retarded, I'm just... what am I saying? Oh:

DON'T BE LIKE CAPCOM. USE GOOD ENGLISH.

 

[Stryder]

Ah, it's just like you would regularly say wily.

why-li

 

[demi]

<Orin_Exsu> in the japanese mega man zero calls him exsu
<EAsp0rsk> there is no x in the japanese alphabet, orin
<Orin_Exsu> ...

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Oh yea, wily is a word. Imagine that.

 

[demi]

haha, no x in the japanese alphabet, silly orin

 

[Son of Godzilla]

I woulda laughed if you needed it that bad.

 

[demi]

no no, you've done more than enough my friend.

man, orin can be really stupid though sometimes.

 

[Dice]

there is no h-sound in wily, to put it in chinese, it would be wai-lee

 

[Son of Godzilla]

And out of the blue another.

Wait why would it be pronounced Wily in anything but English? Presumably other languages are other languages, right?

Same goes for Guile, but how many people pronounced it "gully"? Dan is a sticky one though. i always use the English pronunciation, as i've never known his name to be pronounced with the Japanese pronunciation outside of Japan and annoying J-otaku.

 

[dog$]

"why" + lee

And arguing about romanization of Japanese is always an exercise in futility.

There's no L in Chinese, Dice.

(see?)

Well, with Wily being in Katakana (like Rockman and the rest of the crew) it's not like the English is altered from being something completely different in Japanese.

That's unless Wily and Wai-Ree really are fully dissimilar to you.
