Ness...Speech Impediment??

Ness should have learned some decent english since SSB64. ._. It's been a while now.

I thought that was Pit. Scary, isn't it?
There is a possibility that the two voices could have been done by the person who did the VA for Rouge the Bat. I'm pretty sure the VA used for Ness also does the one for Kirby. I don't know, they could have found someone else. Hearing the voices alone sound scary. But having a face for those voices make them sound pretty okay.
I remember first hearing Pit's voice and I thought, "Oh gosh! He sounds like April O'Neal from TMNT!" XD Falco was Raphael from TMNT, too.

So that explains why Pit's voice sucks...

Interesting. I learned something new today. haha.
Also I think the "th" is usually replaced with an "s". My real name is Jonathan and in Japanese it's spelled Jonasan. Also Marth's Japanese name I believe is Mars. Another thing to look at is Planet Zebes. I believe it's originally called Planet Zebeth. One more thing you can look at is Aeris from Final Fantasy. Isn't her name Aerith? This is just my theory, though. I don't know Japanese at all. I mean I used to be able to read Katakana with almost no problem, but I can't anymore.
Also "v" is usually replaced with "b" in Japanese.
Ness was desperately trying to say : "I think he's got an infinite on me" to Sakurai during the development proces. Sadly, due to his speech impediment, all Sakurai understood was: "I think he wants to get intimate with me" so Sakurai gave him a speech about how Marth is not gay and wears his tiara for his sister bla bla bla...

When Ness does his PK Flash attack, he says " PK Fl-ah-sh!" So it sounds a bit british.
Where are all these silly people coming from? Ike and Pit arn't cheap (Pit's just annoying), and Sonic certainly isn't cheap, it's just...
YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

Where did "PK" even come from anyways? In Earthbound all his attacks are "psi".
You missed out on Mother and Mother 3. Why isn't there any PK Beam anymore?
PK = Psychokenesis/Psychokenetic
PSI = Psionic
Either way they're both psychic abilities. Plus saying PSI Thunder would take longer to say than PK Thunder.

not if he pronounced it "cye"

I guess the change was because in the JPN Mother, Almost all spells were called PK, except for Magnet(PSI), or was it in Mother 2? Anyway, I guess the American localization group wanted it to be consistent and named them PSI.

spells offensive in nature are called PK
while defensive/support are called PSI
...but thats just what me and my other friends think
edit: pretty much Uffe's post up there ^^^

I pronounce it Pea Ess Eye. That's how I heard it first. You may say, "Well where are the periods to seperate PSI?" Well where are they to seperate PK? Still you can say it however you like, I'm not stopping you, I'm just saying how I say it.
thats odd... I always thought of PSI as prounouced "cye" while whenever I saw PK, I thought "Pee Kay", maybe because PSI would be easier to actually say, and is part of real words? PK isn't really part of real words so I just assumed it was an abbreviation. *Shrug*
However I always thought the way he drags out "Okay" is amusing. Kinda like "oooooooouu-kaaaayyyuh". He kinda sounds a little slow there, ah well. I've gotten used to his odd accent ^^
and P.s. (i): If Ness is in the next game tho, they had better give him Psi Rockin' as a final smash, because "Psi Rockin" is just too cool of a sounding attack to not include.

I agree with everything in the above post

I always hear "Froushu" because they didn't give him another voice actor for any other regions. English words are extremely difficult for some Japanese speakers because we use syllables that they don't. A Japanese person would never have to say "Thun" or "Der" so they improvise, making it "Tunda" and PK Fire "Fiya".
...is it just me or does my sig not show up?
