Epic question answered: How to pronounce Ryu's name.

[波動拳]

Well, I got bored and decided to get all of this settled once and for all.
Offline for now due to homophobic and childish behaviour from SRK members. :dp:, :hp:

Mystery solved. Now...about YOUR name...

My name is Hadou Ken (波動拳), this is also something that I might bring up.

Hadou Ken means Surge Fist/Wave Motion Fist, NOT Fireball. Hopefully this will be brought up by someone else though.

[Sasmasta]

Ah, interesting. There goes my "Ken dub" I was thinking about...

"Fireball! Fireball!"
"Uppercut!"
"Kick that makes me dizzy!"

:cool:

[COUM]

you are a gay virgin

[波動拳]

you are a gay virgin

Not that it concerns you but no, I am not. :wink:

[nGuman]

Whats that coming over the hill is it a monster? is it a monster???


But like my post was that necessary to find out how his name was pronounced?

[COUM]

youre wrong anyway because the japanese sound that transliterates to the letter 'r' doesnt really sound like an english 'r' but more a combination of 'd' 'l' and 'r', and 'yu' is more a short 'yuh' and less a 'yoo'

see i actually know how to pronounce it and yet i dont give a care if people pronounce it wrong because im not a pathetic piece of shit

[Hatred Edge]

what makes you think it's a japanese name and is pronounced as such!? pfft. scrub!

[fallot]

Way to ruin my day weeaboo :(

[n8archer_XI]

I've always said "Rye-yoo".

I'm going to keep saying it that way...

[beatsofdevil]

well prepare to be mocked, scrub! or does another 3-min video have to be made?

[lamewadd]

Video's down.

Was there ever a question though? I mean, they DO say it in EX.

Correct, and that is the right way to say it!

[Daigo Jr]

I say Rye-You because It sounds better... ^^'

[AlphaDragoon02]

When I was little I pronounced it "rye-you" (just like most people, haha), but now that I actually understand how Japanese is pronounced I say it the correct way.

The kinda interesting thing about Ryu's name is that it's really said in one breath, like it only has a single syllable.

Yeah, that can make it confusing for a non-Japanese speaking individual. However, that was what I was trying to help out with in that video. Of course, I can see that the oh so mature people of SRK really appreciated it. At least some of you had the courage to give a few interesting sentences about the topic. However the rest of you (COUM & C.O) who goes agressive on a newcomer is more gay than I am, A LOT more gay. :woot:

SRK, join, and get trashtalked! :woot:

[Ryu & Ken]

How the fuck does someone get that much neg rep that quick after just joining

I pronounce it as Ree-You

Moderators that doesn't do their job as they should do it.

And you pronounce it right! :woot:

You know a mod is gonna close this thread BECAUSE its stupid right? Really who cares if its pronounced Re-you not Rye-u? SHOCKER: Sirlin pronounces it Rye-u!!! The world is in chaos!!!


While you're at it why don't you start a thread about how hadouken is spelled and pronounced? You'll be surprised how many people spell it hadoken not hadouken. THEY FORGET THE "U"!!! Oh noes... the world is gonna end.

Or how some people pronounce it HADO-CAN or Hadogit. Yes I know. Its an epidemic and you must stop it. SAVE OUR FUTURE!

[OmegaDL50]

I know, I should just let this thread die.

You are coming to a Fighting game community forum...If not THE Fighting game community forum, and want to attempt educate the knowledge on people's know-how on a character name that many have been using for MANY years.

You might want to take a step back and understand what you may be getting yourself into by posting that crap here.

While I agree the point of some people giving Neg rep is justified.

But seriously, not only are you presumptuous in assuming we don't know how to pronounce Ryu's name, but to do it in the largest Fighting game community on the entire internet no less.
