How Y'all Say "Ryu"?

[MidniteJay]

Hearing nikkas botch fighting game character's names back in the day was

First time Hwoarang appeared in Tekken 3 nikkas were like

The dudes I used to play T6 with used to fukk around with the names.

Especially Hwoarang. nikkas were saying "How Wrong" "How wrong is my name?"

Baek's name use to bother me too. Dudes were saying it like "Beak" or "Bawk" then another homie was like "Nah, it's Bake."

When Street Fighter first came out in Brooklyn everyone called him Gully

The first time I heard a shoryuken we thought they were saying "All-you-ken" and hurricane kick "A-dike-dike-doo-kick"

My nig I just choked on my lunch LMAOOO!

NOOOOO....

That hits too close to home breh, me and my lil sis sat there with the face every time his name would come up. Double that when she picked Ling Xiaoyu....

Depends on who I'm talking to...If I respect your gaming, I'll probably say Rih-yu but if I don't think you're that serious about it...I'll say Rye-Yu bc I won't want your head to explode or anything. I might even hit you with mispronounced Blanka just because.

[Wildin]

it was just one of those things where we always picked the same characters when we played so for tekken and sf we just said "my guy" or "Dante's guy" or "this guy" or "that guy" from the character select screen.


shyt would get wild but we knew what we were talking bout. Oh shyt you beat jamar's dude with dante's guy how'd you do that one move? --I dont even know i was just pushin buttons ay dante have you done that move before? --- i seen the computer do that but i aint never did it.

My nikka, reading those two right there made my childhood flash befoore my eyes, and I heard "A DIKE DIKE DOO KICK" like a distant echo
