How does one say "Masahiro Sakurai" correctly?

...May-sa-hero__Suh-koo-ree, I'm guessing...?


If he's turning into a household name I at least got to say it right.

 

[SurooshX]

Mah-sah-hero Sah-koo-rye

 

[ChaoticTH]

Mah-sah-hero Sah-koo-rye

This man speaks the truth.

 

[I.T.P]

it's more like Mah-Sah-Hi-Ro Sa-Koo-Ra-I

the hiro is not pronounced Hero like in english, it's pronounced Hi and Ro, like the Ro in Rob a bank

While were on the topic of pronunciations how do you pronunciate "Palutena"

SushiemanX has it right actually, unless you want to pronounce his name with a Japanese accent, in which case either pronunciation would be wrong anyways.

Alright, seeing as we're talking about pronounciations how do you pronounce Dedede?

Thread over guys. I can confirm this since the letter pronunciation is very similiar in both Finnish and Japanese. You English-speaking-peeps have it way harder - we always pronounce each letter the same way, no matter how it's positioned in a word or whatever.

 

[OnceAgain]

id say Mah-sah hee-roo sa-kuh-rye

[Winged Messiah]

Lol, I always wondered how I was meant to say Dedede. It just sounds wrong to me =/.

 

[LavisFiend]

How it is spelled.

Mah-sah-hero Sah-koo-rye

Aye. This one seems to be the most approved, and plus it's how I say it on the podcast every week.
