He says: "Eat this: Shoryureppa!"
IMHO of course.

Ikuze!
Iku : meaning in Japanese, to go...
-ze: suffix referring to word before...
So you are correct, but it can also mean "Let's go!" :)

All right, before this turns into an "all-you-can" thread, here are a
couple of articles I grabbed from this group some time ago. I'm not
sure who the author of the second section was, but at any rate *I* was
not the author of any part, so all mistakes are somebody else's fault!

* Introduction *
****************
Most of the people outside of japan don't really care about the
original names for special moves (the games plays the same anyway...
:).
However, some of us are interested in staying close to the
"real"
ones, and in their meanings (get to Dan's section to see what I
mean!).
As it is difficult to get them, I made this small list for the real
SF diehards. It includes almost all the move names and there
translation.
I know you will probably not use it everyday, but I hope it will at
least
entertain you a bit, as it took me a LOT to compile...
Have fun!
NOTES:
- As my source is mainly Gamest magazine, the names should be the
official
ones (directly from Capcom).
- The translations are aproximative, as I made them myself. :)

letters, exept the 'n'
and vowels. There is
a space between words.
0.2- Pronounciation:
--------------------
As you probably know, the japanese language is not writen with roman
characters, so their roman transcription is a bit uneasy.
If you do not know how they should be pronounced, here is a simple
table
to help you:
NB: The explanations designed to be understandable by a beginer with
no
particular knowledge of language science; I know some of the Net
users
don't perfectly speak english (and I couldn't really do something
scientific anyway... ^-^ )
Transcription Pronounciation
a The a of "fAr".
i The i of "Ill".
u The ou of "yOU" (get the 'y' out).
aa,ii,uu The vowel is about twice as long as normaly.
e The e of "hEy" (stop before the 'y').
ei same as obove, but about twice as
long.
o The o of "hellO".
ou same as obove, but about twice as
long.
ha The ha of "HArd".
jya The ja of "JAm".
n The n of "oN".
r The 'r' is between an 'r' and a 'l'. Try saying
"rude"
while putting your tong on the top of your mouth,
but
do not insist on it; let it go between 'r' and
'l'.
The resulting 'r' should be *about* it...
tt, pp, kk... stop your tongue brutaly and make a very short
pause
before letting the sound out.
Ex: SHOU RYUU REPPA is said:
-Shou: SHO O (Do not separate the first and second 'O'. The 'O'
should last about 0.6 sec. Am I not precise ? ^-^)
-Ryuu: RYOU +OU (Same as above, but remember the 'r' thing.)
-Reppa: REP' <stop speaking at the begining of the p, pause for ~0.2
sec.>
your mouth is closed, then--> PA
Do this a few times, until you get it naturaly, and then look at
the
people around you, and try to explain to them that you are NOT crazy.

They are very powerfull demons, always angry and fighting with
scaring rage. In short, Akuma.

14- I need help!
-----------------
As you probably saw, this list is not totaly complete.
A '?' means I did not find the kanji's translation, or it's reading.
If you know them, please let me know so I can complete the list.
Here are the things I precisely need:
* Any correction to kanjis translations;
Ex: I translated Akuma's "Shaku Netsu HaDoKen" by "miracle fever
Hadoken", but I'm almost shure "Shaku" has another meaning here.
* Any correction to multiple-kanjis formed word:
Ex: "Shaku" and "Netsu" are two different kanjis, but together they
could
be a precise word (as "Sen" + "Puu" is "Spin" + "Wind" =
Whirlwind).
* Guy's slide second Kanji: Sorry, impossible to describe! Has the
field's bushu (key) on it's right
side...
* All of sodom's move names: They are all in kanas, mixing japanese
and
english words, so I could not make them
out.
Any confirmed info/move name is
welcome.
* A nice ASCII title would also be welcome.
* If you notice ANY mistake, say it. I like it when things are well
done,
so don't think it'll be useless; I'll fix things if they need to be.
======================================================
Just in case anyone cares or is curious, here is what each character
says, transcribed into romanji from the 'ALL ABOUT SFZ' guide from
Japan...
This is ALL the voices each character makes, no the individual moves
in japanese- I could post them but there's ALOT plus I don't think
anyone really cares that Gouki's 'Raging Demon' is really
'Shungokusatsu'..
I never learnt romanji, just plain japanese so I dunno how to make the
long vowel sounds, just bear with me!

Isn't "Yo-SHAAA!" the official "Aw-RIIIGHT!"? Ken just doesn't sound that
enthusiastic. Maybe it means the same thing; I know that there are a lot of
Japanese phrases that can mean the same thing.

Shoot, and here I thought he was actually speaking English. Silly me.
But, you know, on the PSX version, it does sound a lot like he's saying
"This is it!", which doesn't seem that far off from the actual meaning
of Ikuze. Whatever.

Heh, I thought he was saying "Yah sensei!". Are we a bunch of Japanese

i don't know who ripped off who, but kayin (Toshinden2) has many moves similar to SFA. besides doing
that ken pose, he also does another pose which looks similar to charlie's "too easy" pose (and i
have this weird feeling that he says "too easy" in japanese). he also has charlie's somersault,
chun-li's flip kick, and kayin's super is nothing but chun-li's air kick. the only cool move that i
like is his breakdance kick (which is in a way, sorta like sakura but upside down).
by the way, don'tcha think vermillion is baddest mutherfucking fighter out there??? i'll take him
over that loser "evil" ryu.
as for what ken says, it sounds like "get set", but "eat shit" sounds much better.
James Fabiano
Actually, it sounded more like "Eat fist" or "eat this" to me. :-)

Actually, Rose says "reflect," but in a really thick accent. Listen
carefully.

I noticed, but I thought that CapCom had a hand in the making
of BAT, so I never really cared. Who officialy made BAT? Does anyone

Here are three forms of that phrase heard in video games:

- Chun Li (SF) says "Yatta!" which means "I won!"
- Ken (SF) says "Yatta ze?" which I think is the male version of what

But I wasn't sure if Takara actually made BAT (in its various

As a bilingual and a professional Japanese <--> English translator, I
would like to post my interpretation of some Japanese phrases being
discussed here.
"Ikuze!"
The word "iku" is the verb, "to go" and the "ze" is a masculine form
of the word. In Japanese, when one says, "Ikuze" it is understood
that the person speaking will be "going". Therefore, "Ikuze!" should
translate as: "Here I go!" (The nuance is not quite right when
translated to English, as in the case of many other Japanese phrases.)
"Moroi wa..."
"Moroi" is "fragile". The "wa" at the end usually denotes feminity,
but when a female is speaking. When a male is speaking, it can mean
that the person doing the speaking (at least in his mind) is superior
to the person he is speaking to. He COULD potentially say, "Moroi
ze", "Moroi na", simply "Moroi", but these do not adequately show his
attitude of superiority, IMHO. So the translation should be: "You are
fragile."
"Yatta!" "Yatta ze!" "Yatta ne!" etc. etc.
"Yatta" indicates the fruits of hard labor. It shows that the person
worked hard at what he or she had accomplished, and it is a display of
satisfaction. Therefore, the translation would be "I did it!" (may be
either masculine or feminine for "Yatta") "I did it!" ("Yatta ze!" is
masculine form) or "We did it!" ("Yatta ne!" is feminine or masculine.
But this usually means that the person speaking is including ther
person he or she is speaking to, so it should translate as: "WE did
it!" Otherwise, it would be "Yatta ze!" or "Yatta wa!")
"Shoshi!"
I am unsure of what this means. (And I call myself a translator?)
"Shoshi" in kanji would be "Laugh" and "stop" put together, which I
would assume to mean, "What a joke!" (figuratively speaking).
I hope this helped.

WOW. "Aw-RIIIGHT!" LITERALLY? QUITE literally, even?

The words "Ikuze" and "Ikuyo" both use the same verb: how could one
possibly mean "Take _that_!" or "Get ready for it-!" and the other
mean "Here I go!", which is something completely different? If one
means one thing, the other must mean roughly the same if they use the
same verb "iku" (to go) with a suffix.
I think most of the other translations are pretty accurate, but I only
scanned through this article. I hope this helped.

It's "nurui wa..." "Nurui" is lukewarm. So, he's saying that you (the
opponent) weren't much of a challenge.

Waruku omouna literally means something like "Don't think badly." As in,
"Don't think too badly of your defeat."
Somehow someone thought this meant "It's nothing personal."

Well yeah, Ikuze means 'Let's go' as a challenge, but...

Okay. I am getting annoyed by this.
Explanation of "Ikuze!"
The word "iku" is the verb, "to go" and the "ze" is a masculine form
of the word. In Japanese, when one says, "Ikuze" it is understood
that the person speaking will be "going". Therefore, "Ikuze!" should
translate as: "Here I go!" (The nuance is not quite right when
translated to English, as in the case of many other Japanese phrases.)
To reiterate: "IKUZE" does NOT mean "LET'S go" 'as a challenge'.
The CORRECT translation of "LET'S go" would be:
"IKOU" or "IKOUZE" or something similar. But NOT "IKUZE"
by any means.
Am I wrong? Please correct me if I am.
Although I am sure I am not.

This is my guess, but I don't think Ryu officially has a last name.
By the way, "Ryu Hoshi" is the name given to him in the American
Street Fighter movie (the one with Van Damme). Of course, if the
movie can't even pronounce Ryu's name correctly ("rhee-you" or "roo"
instead of "rye-you"), I doubt they would get his last name right,
too.

He meant the SF movie... the topic was Ryu's last name, it the movie it
was Hoshi, but he said that that probably isn't right. Reason: if the
movie calls him Rye-you, then what the hell do they know about names?

Why did I know you would stick your nose into this and say something stupid?
Why do I need a summary of what Mr. Kim wrote? I understood everything he

Unless my reading comprehension skills have sunk to your level thanks to
reading too many of OmegaMAD's posts, I gathered from Mr. Kim's post that
he was insinuating that the correct pronunciation of Ryu, was "Rye-you".
Read it again and tell me if you don't get the same impression.

Whoa! If I gave you the impression that "Rye-you" should be the correct
pronunciation, please forgive me. In fact, one of my little pet peeves
is people pronouncing his name the wrong way, i.e. "Rye-you."
I have a good friend named Dave Ryu. Before SF2, he and everyone else
pronounced his last name "Roo" or "Ree-you." Now that the SF series has
been out for a while, Dave still pronounces his last name correctly, but
now his friends have fallen into the habit of calling him "Dave Rye-you."
Just an off-topic kind of thing.

Eek. Bestest I can come up with the proper pronunciation of Ryu
is "R'ou" ("ou" as in French for "where :).
That's how it's pronounced in the anime, tho I've never seen the
Van Damme film.
How did this thread start, anyway? :)

What the hell is your problem, Grammar-Man? The way I read it, he was
saying that the "roo" pronunciation was about right, while the movie's
Rye-you was completely wrong. He didn't use perfect word order, but I
understood him because why else would he mention the movie, which called
him Rye-you? I looked at the surrounding words and figured out the
meaning of the sentence, something you didn't take the time to do.
Lincoln Cajulis
Dear Mr. Painter,
It is okay, it took a second take for me to understand it correctly. He did not word
his statement very well. He meant to say that Rhee-yoo or Roo was the correct pronunciation
as opposed to SF the Movie saying "Rye-you." I think you should also say it fast because Ryu
is only one syllable in Hiragana (not sure.) Like I said do not feel bad, I have read and
written close to 3000 pages over the last 1 and one half years or grad school, and I still
needed a double take.
My Japanese may be rusty, but I always thought that one possible meaning for RYU was
dragon. Many Dojos have this in their name. I have also heard that RYU Means prosperous.
Personally, in this game I think it means dragon. Heck, look at this: SHO-RYU-KEN! I had
always thought that this was Rising Dragon Punch. With RYU being the dragon and KEN being
the punch! Heck, it would make sense, Ryu, the dragon, the epitome of power and Skill! It
would also be kinda cool, both main characters names are in the name of their tradmark
attack.
In addition to that, that would mean that Super and ST have TWO Dragons:)

Actually, I believe that Ryu's name really does mean "prosperous." This
is what I've heard from some other people. I guess the only way to really
know is to ask any real Japanese guy named Ryu (or maybe Hiryu?) and ask
him what his name means. The only way we'll know is if we look at the
Chinese representation of Ryu's name.
By the way, you did mention that Ryu's name is just one syllable, which
is true, even though I typed "Rhee-you." In other words, the actual way
of pronouncing Ryu is "Rhee-you," except that the two syllables should
be combined into one. I know non-Asians will have a hard time under-
standing or getting used to that, but then again, I've seen too many
*Asians* mispronouncing Ryu's name.

Well, I ain't Asian, but here's what an Asian told me.
There are many combinations of Kanji characters that equal the
spoken word "Ryu." One of them means dragon. Another means
prosperous. The spelling of the Sf character in question equals the
latter.
Think of it like this: There, their, and they're. They all
mean different things, but sound exactly alike. The only way to tell
which word a person is using is through context, or by looking at the
spelling.
Asian posters care to back me up/cut me down?
And now excuse me while I fill this post up with blank lines so my

Exactly. And if you're ever fortunate enough to find it, you'll discover

Heh. And technically, even that is not correct, but it's close enough for

Well, Asians are usually the worst at pronunciating Ryu's name [excluding
Japanese]. It's ironic, considering Asians are always the ones I see using
Ryu...

Mr.Kim appears to be trying to say Ryu is pronounced "Roo" or "Rhee

(japanese voice one), so I'm inclined to believe that.

Well, Allen [Kim] explained to me in e-mail about the post about how he

As for the SF2 animated movie, it is NOT once pronounced "Roo" or "Rhee-you".

Actually the romanji spelling is Shouryuken. The meaning is about
right, though...

As I understnad it, Ryu's name is not the same kanji as the one that
means dragon. I've heard it tranlated as prosperous, but I'm not
sure...

Not 'Roo' from what I hear, but he is most Definitely called

You guys are all nuts. In romanji it would be written ryuu. The r is
actually an r/l/d combined sound. I'm sure most of you know this, and
maybe I'm being baited here and should recognize the sarcaxsm or
something. Anyway...

Huh? You watching the same Anime I am? They couldn't agree
how much emphasis the "R" should get, but they were definately calling

It sounded to me like Fei Long and Bison pronounced it close
("Ruh-YOO"), but Ken was always way off, calling him "Rhy-OO", like people
used to in arcades in 1993.
Of course, the SF2 is really not to be trusted in this: they
MISSPELLED both Interpol ("Interpole") and, Cammy's name in the credits
("Cammie").

Yup, its pronounced Ree-yu or Lee-yu, like any Japanese sounds spelt this way.
Oh and on the subject of the thread, Ken shouts "IKUZE!" before his

In the U.S. version, I believe they refer to Ryu, as "Rhee-you", although I
am not one-hundred percent sure.
In the Japanese version, which *is* the topic at hand, Ryu is *NOT*
pronounced "Rhee-you", "Roo", "Rye-you", "Roy", "Rumpelstilskin" [sp?],
whatever... "Ryu" has only one syllable, with the "R" being a cross between
an "r", and an "l", almost sounding like a "d", and rhyming [somewhat] with
"new".
Like CreeD mentioned, try "dyew". You'll be pretty close.

I shall contradict myself in this post by the very act of posting it with
such a subject, but frankly I don't think how people would pronounce the
name 'Ryu' as any consequence to the game. Why bother wasting download
time on ridiculous post/reply threads such as this one?
Personally I couldn't give a brown. I'm going to pronounce it as "Snarkle
-bolt-fitter". Someone stop me.

Acctualy, that's much more like how it sounds. Captures the accent
correctly and everything.

discover what you think Ryu's name should be pronounced like. I ask what
you think and you say "*NO*"! Well that clears everything up doesn't it,
one little word "*NO*", (although this is not IMO, how to pronounce
Ryu's name), So I ask you to clarify yourself in the next post, and you
go off at me for no reason!
Just keep in mind that i'm not the one arguing, i'm just trying to get
this straightened out.

starting pronounciations. The US Dubded animated movie was pretty close
too (well Ken was at any rate), But the US version used "R" so I don't
think that's fully accurate, just a nice try.
P.S. Am I the only person that thinks the US dubded version had Crap
voices for almost all the characters? I thought Sagat and M.Bison were
OK tho. The actors didn't seem to know how the specials should be
pronounced either, "Shooor-Ken" I believe Ken said when fighting T.Hawk.

Yeah, but it sounded to me like you were saying that they
_didn't_ pronounce it right in the Anime... Oh, forget it, I don't
want to start _another_ flame war...

Actually, I saw the Japanese dialoge version about six months
before the Manga Entertainment dub was released by virtue of the
wonderful network that is the Anime subtitler's underground (you
weren't far off acusing me of being an Anime freak--at least, I used to
be before I started college three years ago). I liked the dubbed
version too, though. I've got'm both.
Frankly, from an American, "Ree-you" is as good as you'll
probably get. It's all in the dialect--I'm sure I'm not telling you
something you don't already know. It's just that we say the word with
an American accent. [shrug]

You're correct, although the _precise_ pronunciation of the
name is something that the voice-actors seemed unable to agree upon
(Hell, some of'm couldn't even make up their _own_ minds).

My japanese isn't so good. (I flunked it) but I believe
"Ikusei" (pronounced "ik'SAY!") means aproximately "Let's go".
(This is a common shout in other fighting games too...)

Yep, definately, that was the case... the US voices made the whole thing
a laughable affair. Worse than some 3rd rate soap on prime time.

Oh great, now we'll hear people saying "dye-you." (heh)
By the way, Bob's explanation may be the most accurate description of the
correct way of pronouncing Ryu, but for non-Asian-speaking people, this
is also the hardest description to follow. Very few non-Asians will ever
mix the "r" and the "l" correctly.
I say "Rhee-you" or "Roo" because it is the easiest pronunciation for
non-Asians to imitate. And isn't that the point in the first place, to
get people to stop saying "Rye-you"? "Rhee-you" or "Roo" isn't perfect
pronunciation, but it's *much* closer than "Rye-you," and less annoying.

I've taken it to be just simply "ryu". All it is is the characters "ri" and "yu"
put together so that the "i" drops out. The best way to look at it IMHO, is just
as : Riyu (allowing for the odd pronunceation of the "R")

OK I know this is a very tired discussion but how about this:
Touch your tongue to your upper molars and keep it there while
saying the word "YOU". This works for me and impresses my Japanese
friends (until I try to say "Ohayu Gosaimatsu") But this will probably
only work for fellow Canadians. The word is "you" not "y'all" or "yer"
or "yee" or "thou" or whatever other mangled English you Southerners talk
down in them thar U-nited States uv Ha-merrica. Eh? Ryu is boring but
since he'll been around FOREVER we might as well learn to say his name
right. Until Capcom USA changes it to "Joe Blow" or "Gracie" or something.
Jean-Claude? Chuck?

That's fairly accurate, the r sound isn't really there, but works a lot
better than Rye-you.

LOL! Not everyone down here has a Southern accent, you know... heh, I've
got to hear someone call him Rye-y'all or Rye-yer...
Eh? Until Capcom USA changes it to "Joe Blow" or "Gracie" or
something.

YES! THAT'S IT!! Change him name to Jean-Claude! Everyone in North
America knows how to pronounce that... too bad the Japanese have never
heard of him!

Is the r/l sound something like the rolled "r" that some Scots use in
speech? Obviously not a big rlrlrlrlrlrlr, but just the beggining...
Like "rl-ieu"?
