How do you pronouce these?

[ssx3master1]

I've been lurking on the boards for a while and I was wondering something I've never seen come up. How are you suppose to pronounce "dair" and "nair" and "fair" and "bair" and especially, "uair."

For example, you could pronounce dair and nair as "dee air" and "en air" or as "dare" and "nare". I personally use the latter, but when I try to say uair in this manner, I sound like I'm asking "where?" in broken english.

Whats everyone's take on this?

Edit: spelling

they're abriviations of arials. im sure you knew that, but they're short for the name of the arial like up air is uair, down air is dair, etc..

but on the other hand i guess thats how you pronounce them. but i just say the whole thing, like up air.

"Dare" "Nare" "Fare" "Bare" "Yoo-Air"

Yeh, I know what they mean, I'm just wondering how people pronounce them.

Edit again: Nevermind about the avatar question. Gotta get premium ( T A T ;; )

"Dare" "Nare" "Fare" "Bare" "Yoo-Air"

Yep. That's exactly how I say them. Two great minds think alike.

"Dare" "Nare" "Fare" "Bare" "Yoo-Air"

^^^ Like that. ^^^

 

[eski]

"Dare" "Nare" "Fare" "Bare" "Yoo-Air"

Just like that, except I said Uh-Air instead of Yoo air

What does B-aerial mean?

 

[B0mbe1c]

"Dare" "Nare" "Fare" "Bare" "Yoo-Air"

QFT. That's the same I do.

What does B-aerial mean?

It means you do your character's backward attack in midair, abbreviated as Bair.

how about you just say down air neutral air back air and up air, instead of using stupid made up words lmao

And while were at it, lets all drop SCUBA and just say "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus." Stupid made up words....

</sarcasm>

Yoo-Air? Just say up air, and you won't sound ********.

Holy jeez. 12 posts into a thread and we've already got people calling other people ********.
I was just asking a question. Don't start a flame war over it.

 

[Ess oh Aytch]

up-air, n-air, f-air, d-air or down air. I do NOT try to pronounce them the way they look, since that just sounds moronic.

 

[sexysanta73]

When I read them I pronounce them en-air, eff-air, bee-air, dee-air, yoo-air; but when saying them out loud I'd never say it like that. I just pronounce it up/down/f/b/n-air.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Up air, back air, forward air, down air, neutral air. Like that

More often than that with many characters, i just refer to what the move looks like (kick, box, parachute) because it's shorter, doesn't sound as annoying, and helps people that know nothing about the character...

Dude chill out, I wasn't exactly pointing a knife at anyone.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my very general statement.

 

[AlphaZealot]

The letter. B + air.
Bee Air
N Air
etc.
