Pronunciation Guide for Fighting Games

A lot of people tend to say words and names wrong. For those who care, this guide should help with proper pronunciation. In particular, what syllables are stressed, proper spelling, and so on. This'll help you not look and sound like ignorant gaijin (gai-jeen) when talking to Asian players.

Again, if this doesn't bother you (and I acknowledge that for the vast majority of the FGC it doesn't), feel free to ignore this guide. Just don't get on everyone else's case, please. Also, don't use this guide to act smug towards your peers.

In short, this is to help people who want to be helped. That's all. Please understand. If there are any mistakes, let me know.

Note: Unfortunately, Mortal Kombat will be ignored for this guide, as saying Japanese words wrong is a franchise tradition, so it'd be a lost cause even trying. If you see any familiar words from that series, just bear in mind the proper pronunciation for everywhere else.

Letters/syllables in bold are sounds to be stressed when saying that word or name, if necessary.

月組ばんざい！

[kirakiramelody]

Not gonna lie, I’m VERY disappointed that Oshama Tricks didn’t perform, and also that Bugcchu doesn’t have a proper voice, but despite all that I honestly think that this episode was really fun. And I’m especially happy to see Oshama Tricks again.

[kirakiramelody]

Poor Oshama Tricks... they deserved to be princesses just as much as anyone

[kirakiramelody]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

[kirakiramelody]

Friendly reminder that, while in the context of the arcade games, Solulu & Luluna using Mystic Toy Box makes perfect sense, in universe they completely ripped off Oshama Tricks’ Happy Happy Toy Box

[kirakiramelody]

Oh hey! They used Happy Happy Toy Box for their yattemitta. I’m surprised, I thought that would be arcade only, or that even if it wasn’t, I certainly didn’t think Oshama would use it
