Blast corpse is 100% completely wrong. Yet at the same time, so so right.
Just down to people not knowing how to say it back in 97 since it wasn't said in the game. I think it's more a western European thing. We don't have Marine Corps. so we weren't used to that word.
Or something like that.

Why would you do this to yourself?
Probably the only pronunciation I would punch someone in the face over.

It's high-lee-an/high-lee-uh
Anyone that pronounces it hill-ee-an/hill-ee-uh is wrong.

I accidentally put that "h" in there, not that I know how to type out phonetics anyway.
Either way "BEAR-ett" sounds really dumb.
For fun I'll go through this topic and say which ones I say:
Ooh-be-soft
es-en-ee-es
Mah-rio
Four-za
Eye-co
Blast core
buhlaysbloo
Lora Croft (the one with no British accent)
Giff
Nay-sus
Ree-u
Ock-arina
Ninja gay den
En-Eee-Esss
Metal Gear Solid
Raiden like MK Raiden for MGS Raiden
Suh-got
Kah-gay
Swee-Co-Den
I'll stop here.

The t sounds in those words make sense because it sounds natural. Forza doesn't need any t sound, it sounds natural as is.
Being a English speaker Forza rolls of the tongue easily as is.
It's pronounced "Shui Hu Zhuan".

Not pronunciation but:
People who misspell Vergil from DMC as Virgil.

The former was used in official materials for years in the US, unfortunately. Not saying that it's right, just that Capcom themselves reinforced it.

Natural to you maybe. A lot of non-english speaking people pronounce pizza without the t and I've heard people call Ezio easy-o.
Ryu is pronounced as one syllable (rhymes with cue).
Es (like you have a bunch of the letter E, except you're using an S sound instead of a Z sound).
Actually, even if it's closer, the most proper pronounciation would be swee-koh-den, since the "u" sound would be de-emphasized so the first three letters run together.
I say day-iss Ex (no Z sound), but how do you pronounce gemini?
Blast Core.
I did it that way until I learned his Japanese name is bullet.

But it doesn't matter what it sounds like, or if it sounds natural to you. What matters is how it's actually pronounced, as it is not a made up word.

In Colombia they say Super Mario Bross (as in floss). Drives me insane.
Also Wii-ooh.
It's just down to them pronouncing the things as if they were Spanish words, though.
Some of my favourite non-videogame ones are col-gah-tay (Colgate) es-prite (Sprite).

Because you get to decide things for a language that's older than you are, even if it is being assimilated into another one. These words aren't just being pulled out of thin air.
So you admit it.

Not strictly game related, but Evangelion is pronounced "Eve-Anne-Gell-Ee-In." Not "A-Van-Gel-Ee-In." The original word goes back to Ancient Greece and there're exact instruction on how to properly pronounce this word. People will try to claim that Hideaki Anno didn't use that word an just made the word up independently, but he referenced the Greek meaning of bringing good luck.

Heh, I was just thinking about that too, because of this thread. I've also heard it pronounced like Eh-van-jeh-lion. Sorta like saying evangelize.

yeah, I don't speak Japanese but I had some classes and have heard enough of the language spoken to understand how it is pronounced. English voice actors sometimes sound horrible when they are trying to pronounce Japanese words (just listen to the Rurouni Kenshin dub, lol).
