Thanks mate!

I read through this entire thread hoping there would be something I could comment on at the very least, but, unfortunately, I really don't have anything to say at this point.

And yet you posted

Hello RyaNtheSlayA, why do you have nothing to say?

I say it "Rye You" too, though the game tells you how to say it. "Sho Ree You Ken".

Did you know that "Ryu" means "dragon" in Japanese (although the kanji used in the first SF means "hump"... )? It gives a bit more meaning to his dragon punch (shoryuken).

Yeah, it is pronounced "ree yuu". Specifically, it sounds more like "lee-U"

Turbografx-16 - Would be awesome to own one of these.

Get a PC Engine Duo, or a variant of it!

for Hobie-wan:

maybe you answered this before. maybe you didn't. but, you seem to you know your away around a circuit board. in fact, you seem to know a lot about electronics in general.

where did you learn about this stuff?

Doesn't it to translate to 'rising dragon fist'? I know Ken is fist. Thus Kenshiro in Fist of the North Star as well.

I'm good a faking it.

I haven't taken any electronics courses or anything. I'm really observant and I pick up little bits and pieces from everywhere. So if something looks a little burnt, or in the case of your SCD where I could see that the capacitors barfed their electrolyte and I know that Game Gears and other items from that era had lots of bad capacitors, I can add those bits of information together and sometimes fix stuff.

I got nothing on the people who actually know how to make s-video circuits for consoles. But give me some instructions to follow and I can do it or I might have some ideas to add to the mixture. I'm no circuit bender or anything, but maybe a professional tinker.

i've been saying "Rye You" for years.

me too. I gather that's the "wrong" way to say it... but I can't really shake it.

Heh, I've been pronouncing Gradius as "Grah Dius" as long as I can remember. Apparently, that's the wrong way.

I say "Gray Dius" myself, but apparently "Grah Dius" is correct.

I've at least gotten Ryu right, but I'm also lost on Gradius.

Anybody else unwilling to pronounce Zangief's name properly? I've always said it "Zane geef".

I also study behavioral methods of physical pain tolerance as well.

Heh, you'd probably have a field day with me. I have really weird pain tolerance that's all over the map.
