It's also much easier to not care.

It is, and I don't, but I wouldn't disagree that it makes the game feel sloppy.

 

[Karsticles]

Rog might end up being good for you in V

I've got my hopes pinned on Juri and Akuma. I think I am enjoying SF-style charge characters less and less. Only Skullgirls charges are really enjoyable.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

I just don't get how you can mispronounce Ryu's name in 2016. The announcer pronounces his name in SFIV!

Does the announcer pronounce it right? IIRC, the MvC3 announcer gets it wrong.

 

[Busaiku]

Official video that can't even say Ryu's name right?

I mean, he also says Anne Sat Sue Ken.

This is how Seth Killian got fired from Capcom.

Yes.

It sounds like he even pronounces the Japanese R right.

Fired? I thought he was left willingly.

 

[Karsticles]

Yes.

He's being sarcastic.

 

[Skilletor]

How is it supposed to be pronunced?

I say Reeyou. I had a friend who said it's supposed to be Roo.

That's the name of a character in Winnie the Poo, though, so I'll never say it that way.

 

[Mizerman]

I could be wrong, but I thought Ryu was supposed to be pronounced with a light "R" into it.

Again, I could be very wrong.

 

[Nightii]

Over here in Mexico it is pronounced Ree-ooh.

 

[Grakl]

That's terrible

If you're speaking English, Reeyou is just fine.

In Japanese, the R has a slight D. Sounding almost like Drew.

Hey, don't blame me for the language's ways, 'y' and 'i' are pronounced bascially the same way in spanish.

Ryu is spelled リュウ with an extra u for length.

Notice the Japanese R when the Japanese version pronounces Ryu out loud.

For the r part it's basically an r and l sound combined which we don't use in English.

The problem lies in the heart of battl....in the fact that the syllables that we show starting with "r" in english aren't R at all. You can hear a really good example of りゅ (which is the same as the リユ that forms the first element of Ryu's name, リュ&#12454 at Tae Kim's site (scroll down to Y-vowel sounds and click り&#12421


Accurate ryu/ryo pronunciation is hard and I wouldn't expect anyone not learning Japanese to actually do that. reeyou is fine. RAIyou is horrible.

 

[Skilletor]

How do you pronounce Ryo?

It's not fun to get hit guys.

Dude! Thanks for the picture, it helps a lot with seeing what your talking about. I just tried to imagine doing half circle motions with my thumb like that and it seems...awkward. I need to give this setup a shot and see if I like it better than the thumbstick. You're right side thumb reasoning sounds like how I was playing during the Beta (and have played SNES games for ages). I'll give it a shot.

It might seem awkward to imagine and even for me when I'm not holding the controller it's weird as hell to imagine but once you are in game and see how little you have to move your thumb to get all 360 degree's of motion it just works perfectly.

Like this:

Ree-yoo isn't really correct because it's one syllable.

Roo isn't really correct because it's missing the "y" part.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not trying to force you to change. Ree-yoo is fine, if you're a native English speaker. It's not like we all pronounce "Paris" as "Pa-ree"

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

It's Roo, dawg.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

I don't expect anyone not Japanese or learning Japanese to pronounce Ryu the correct way. In English, Reeyou is the closest you're gonna get because the Japanese word has sounds not commonly made in English.

I think the easiest way to describe how to pronounce it is comparable to the Liu in Liu Kang.

So which one of you mofos is organizing the first GAF SF5 tourney?

I guess I can do it. When does the game come out again? I'll have the tournament happen that weekend, probably Saturday.

We don't even know if there will be online lobbies yet. I'm sure I won't be the only one pissed about non-existant lobbies at launch.

 

[Tripon]

Doesn't look like Endless is coming back, which surprises me. I thought that was popular as much as ranked mode was.

 

[RockTurtle]

Ever watch his stream? I don't know how I do it but I've tuned in many times and it's always him complaining about online non stop. Always saying the matches are laggy or that he input a move that didn't come out. PR Rog also hates playing online but he accepts it for what it is unlike Hamad who seems like he's torturing himself and wants to let everybody know how tortured he is. I'll watch every here and there but tune out eventually because instead of just talking about whatever he focuses too much on how much online play and online players suck.



BTW guys I'm doing a farewell to SF4 tournament. It's on PC and takes place this Friday, it's random select with Edition Select. I'm giving away a SFV Season Pass to the winner. The cap is 16, but only 2 slots have been filled so far. Please join if you want to play in a non-serious(but still with something online the line) tournament for fun. Sorry if you're disappointed that I'm not doing a more serious tournament. For those that want a serious tournament, hopefully Yams will be back soon because he wanted to throw one before SFV comes out.

You know what kind of tourny I want to see?
A 3v3 elimination online tourny.
You know. The mode everybody forgot about and nobody even played.

EDIT: Same kind of mode announced for KOFXIV btw.
From he Playstation Blog:

A brand new fighting game experience, Party Battle Mode!
Get ready to duke it out with as many as six people (three players on each team) in VS Online Party Battle. Feel the heat of an authentic fighting game tournament experience via PSN!

No online lobbies, no ping or latency checks playerside, and a quick search function only, that allows you to only filter from "1 to 5", whatever the hell that means
