I feel like I always knew that was why, without actually knowing. Wtf does teriya even mean anyway?

It was the original Sonic Adventure that had an extremely poor/loose translation (as do Colors and Generations, but that's an entirely different matter).

With Colors and Generations, they're written in English first and translated back to Japanese, am I wrong?

Nothing. It's just a vocalization, like half the crap Japanese-voiced video game characters say. Like "Tya!" "Teig!"

It's essentially the Japanese way of saying "HUH! HAH!"

[Aerosol]

Yea I thought so. How stupid that it's still in the game. Eggman's a weird guy, so I just forgave his "YOSH!". But Sonic's TERIYAAA in the middle of that cutscene was pretty retarded.

I believe you're correct. Colors and Generations were both written by the same people who wrote MadWorld.

SA2 was a ridiculously literal translation.

And now you know why Sonic screams "TERIYAAAAAAAA!" and why Eggman goes "YOSH!"

Let alone how horribly stilted half the dialog was, like a 1980s-early 90s anime dub.

I remember Ryan Drummond talking about the dubbing process for SA1 vs. SA2, how in SA1 they tried to sync the voice/mouth movements while in SA2 they were just like "It took Japanese Sonic six seconds to say this line, so say it in six seconds" and figured it was matched well enough.

Yes but I do remember that the script was changed at certain parts too. I remember Puto giving an example on how Sonic's dialoge was different just before he transformed into supersonic.

I doubt that the Ken Pontac and Warren Graff learned Japanese to write for those games, so yes, those were written in English first.

To be honest, I'm more concerned about Chao World more than anything else. With the crappy port of SADX (which is way superior in main game play than SA2:B) I honestly don't think adding it to the DreamCast Collection should be a good thing.

I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

So it really was Sonic - DBZ edition. Knew it.

I dunno. I'm probably only going to get it if they port it to the PC. If I want to play it on a console I'll just hook up my Gamecube.

[Nova]

Won't be getting this, for this reason alone:



My friend's car. So boss. I'll be playing it on this instead. <3

[Dark Sonic]

That's an accident waiting to happen.

[Caniad Bach]

Holy shit! Does that car suck your dick and pour you a beer at the same time?

[Sonic Warrior TJ]

That car is backwards are you a wizard

And no, I'm not that stupid.

Playin' Radical Highway on a radical highway AAWWWW YEEEEAAAHHHH.
