Language: Difference between revisions

*While the Asian versions share the [[announcer]]'s voice actor in all games (except the Korean version of ''Brawl'') with the English version, in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', he pronounces some character names differently, namely those for [[King Dedede]], [[Lucina]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], [[Richter Belmont|Richter]] and [[King K. Rool]], to better reflect the Japanese pronunciation; Lucina, for example, is pronounced as "RU-ki-na" in Asian versions rather than "Lu-SEE-na" in the English version. Interestingly, [[Marth]], [[Young Link]], [[Lucas]] and [[Byleth]] do not share this trait (even in ''Melee''), despite their Japanese pronunciations being slightly different from their English counterparts.

**In the Korean version of ''Ultimate'', the announcer switches between English and Japanese pronunciations depending on the character.

*In ''Ultimate'', Mewtwo does not speak in any of its victory poses if the language is set to either Spanish, German, Dutch or Russian. This is because the game loads up the voice scripts from the Japanese version, which uses separate voice clips from the English version.

*Ever since ''Brawl'', Japanese text that includes kanji is displayed with furigana, which is a reading system designed to help those who aren't familiar with kanji understand how they're supposed to be read, by displaying the hiragana symbols that spell the kanji symbol.
