I.T.P
Smash Ace
the best is to use something like www.romanji.org, and read the japanese in english characters. but if you can't do that, you'll have to suffice for Google translate and Google Translator, and the likes

Yeah, that would be him. Takagi is his last name. He's a pretty nice guy. he's only lived in japan for 2 years. but he's one of the best players i've played, or at least one of the hardest for me.kei is a member of skypal, "takagi" on the boards right?
i've met him a couple times but i dont know him very well, he was actually one of the first smashers i ever played back at the first smashfest i ever held
haha, man i was horrible back then, i was happy to get a stock or two off a match XD
i'll see if skypal will be in contact with him during release time even though they are all retired
Actually, nothing in this thread really suggests that we'll get anything way before the Japanese release.Man... I didn't realize that we'd be getting so much information so soon instead of just waiting for nothing until the 24th. Sonic's in, I don't fear the roster... but I like good surprises. But, roster or not, I will not be satisfied until I buy and play this game... but I'll be watching anyway; my man Ganondorf isn't here yet.
haha i crawled with bowser and it was hilarious, then what was even better is...LOL
Yo Gimpy, have you seen that vid of bowser crawling?
lmao
Oh man, Panel de Pon and Puyo Puyo. I've seen some ridiculousness in those games.Yeah, that would be him. Takagi is his last name. He's a pretty nice guy. he's only lived in japan for 2 years. but he's one of the best players i've played, or at least one of the hardest for me.
He also creamed me at Panel de pon and Puyo puyo, but that's beside the point XD
We won't be getting SSBX full info until the 23rd, so don't pee your pants guys.
how are you getting the game early?Ikki is getting the game a day early, that's all.
Like i said, I'll be playing it myself around your 7:00 AM at 1/23. so expect impressions not too long after.
I'm not, I'm going to Ikki's Smashfest. and I'll be playing it there.how are you getting the game early?
i mean sakurai is my uncle and he wont tell me s***, hes alway like STFU, GTFO!!!11
Dude, read the thread. The fest isn't until Brawl comes out.so like a report within the hour, or what?
ummm, i meant an within an hour of gameplayDude, read the thread. The fest isn't until Brawl comes out.
Sounds perfect to me!SamuraiPanda...?
We're doing that now. Aeris is trying. He knows some Japanese but not really fluent. There's no one fluent in japanese and english? all you need is one person (to start). I'm not being coy, btw.Problem is, obviously, language. Japanese aren't known for their awesome English skills, and having every single post back and forth translated by a few translators or by a non-accurate machine seems a little awkward.
I forgot my password, as well as my recovery question answer, as well I just sent an email to the admins asking if they can recover it for me. On top of forgetting what the password / question / answer was, I can't remember if I wrote it in Japanese or English, lol.I have a User in smash.or.tp, but I forgot my password. Kokichi has a user there as well(when we were Messeging before Karisuma 9th, to which we went together, I told him about smash.or.tp, and he registered).
No, their English is generally far from decent. Yes, they take English starting in junior high, and maybe even in the later years of elementary school (I taught English to a few elementary school classes). However, the Japanese system of schooling is so drastically different than the American one such that it makes hard for them to learn a language (it's all about memorization, not learning). You will find that they can get the general gist of stuff when written down, but cannot speak English with much fluency, nor can they really understand it when spoken. Most translation jobs, if any, will probably result from people who have been speaking English and Japanese all their life (e.g. Kei) or people who study it at a university (e.g. SamuraiPanda and myself).Eh, most Japanese people our age probably have decent English. They take English in high school. I don't really think what you're trying to do is that far fetched ShortFuse. We just have to find willing parties.
Well, let me point out a few things. First off, let me state that for the past half a year I lived in Japan, studying abroad. Right now Bazooka Lucca is still studying abroad, but he's at an international school where they teach in English - I went to an all Japanese college, where the other 9 ryuugakusei (foreign exchange students) and I were the only gaijin (foreigners) for miles. So my Japanese is pretty good, probably better than SamuraiPanda's (no offense, but I've probably practiced it more than ya, especially when you have a Japanese gf who you practice with day and night).Hey Gimpyfish, I understood what you meant about this thread now because a big news thing. I took it differently, mostly after your jest of telling all the translators to come to this thread. So sorry about that before.
I don't know about that being the smashboards of japan. I think I.T.P. was right about it being just like a big Myspace/Facebook. A couple of took a look and it's mostly as ITP describes. It's more like the Japanese Smash Myspace Group
I think I'm/we're not finding it though; the large forum, that is. The Japanese Smashboards. It has to exist. I found the sumabura-x.com forum. It's great and we got great Jump Festa info. Just know we were checking out their post for CM (Commercial Message). As they found out the website for the 3rd trailer so did we. What makes me think that we aren't hitting is that they had only 80 posts concerning today's commercials. 80 posts is a lot sure, but Nintendo's server took a MASSIVE hit. I don't think us as 2:30AM and that forum alone knew it. Just us two couldn't possibly make Nintendo's servers take a dive. There has to be somewhere else. There has to be a bigger community.
Aeris is getting more and more committed to interacting with the members on the Japanese forums. But I think if we want to create that link, that liaison, between the two nations, we need to work a bit harder. I don't think we need SamuraiPanda for the simple translation jobs. I'm hoping SamuraiPanda could do it, be that liaison. Translating is not the same as communicating. Maybe we can even open up a Japanese section of smashboards. Of course, I'm not one to demand such things but just throwing it out there.
I see big possibilities by bridging to the two communities. I realized something when I read on the sumabura-x forums. They were complaining how the Christmas update was lame. They were even saying how the December 24th update had a snow background and had been expecting something great for Christmas update. What I noticed is, they're just like us. They're just as meticulous and analytical as we are with these updates. I'm not thinking about spoilers. I'm thinking about after that, after Brawl comes out. Cut the language barrier. The whole community of internation smasher together learning new techniques and playstyles, sharing videos. It'd be a nice thing to have.
Maybe it's just me with delusions of grandeur but surely we can all benefit from it. I think it's a good point to discuss. If I were a BRoomer it'd be something I'd definitely be pushing to be pioneered. Well, reply here or PM me if you want and I'd like to know SamuraiPanda input on this as well as some other board memebers.
Okay, I've gone on long enough.
you deliverd.
its a good thing im bi-lingual, too bad i speak spanish lol
but i did random clicking on one site posted from this other forum, and i actually think i saw knuckles on one, but it was off the google translator, also had ness, whis is a plus for me, i think one made out to be ridley not sure though, but yeah 20 or so days so i'll jsut wait
but you guys recorded this earliers today right? do you think panda will DECIPHER these by this weekend?
and bowser jr. should definetly have his roar from MSC lol which is bascially like a tiny mushroom times 2 or something lol
Well, shows how much I know.No, their English is generally far from decent.
