Stop Being Greedy
S in spanish is pronunciated ese but e like eh
@@kyledavid9415 because TH-cam ad revenue is oh so reliable.
As a native spanish speaker I can tell you that, in the case of Steve and Snake, he's not saying any prefix, in spanish when a word starts with "S" followed by another consonant, It's usually pronounced as "Es", in these cases "Esteve" and "Esnake", it's not a rule or anything, I thinks it's just easier for us to pronounce it that way
True
We even have a famous meme over here sourrounding this fact "It is Spiderman, no Espiderman!!!".
This
A perfect example being the Hispanic equivalent of "Stephan" being "Estephan."
Agreed! Just bad but understandable pronunciation.
The announcer is not actually saying "el Steve" o "el Snake", what's happening is that in spanish we add an E to the pronounciation of english words that start with an S because it makes it easier for us to say, for example, we say "estop" or "Espiderman".
Edit: oh, and Robin is also called Daraen in Spanish, don't ask me why tho.
Im pretty sure Daraen is the standard name for most european versions of Fire Emblem, so they just use it.
Daraen is way cooler than Robin imo
@@raleo7466 fax
In Latin Spanish is still called Robin.
I just checked, and at least for me, it's still called Robin
Something minor I thought about with the whole thumbnail being about Dark Pit, Dark Pit's cheer is the crowd saying "Pittoo Pittoo Pittoo" which, if you've played kid icarus uprising you know he hates being called that, Palutena and Pit came up with it. That implies that the crowd for Dark Pit isn't there to cheer him on, but instead to piss him off which I find amazing. This is even true in Japanese, as the cheer in Japanese also refers to him as Blapi which is the Japanese equivalent of Pittoo in Japanese. Man they just want to piss him off, don't they?
mii alcohol type killed me
They could also bully him by calling him dunkle Pit.
One interesting fact about Russian translation is that all Hero spells were translated to Russian for the first time. There are none Dragon Quest games officially translated to Russian, so it's a nice touch. Translation team couldn't just leave the spell names in English, since Russian language uses different alphabet.
It’s easier for an Spanish speaking person to pronounce the e before the s in Steve and Snake (also you said Pit oscura when it’s supposed to be Pit oscuro because of the same reason of the wii fit trainer and Pokémon trainer (also also Pito depending on the region have different meanings, like for example whistle but it’s not so used))
Pito 👍
exactly! Thats why we often say "estop" intead of stop.
This!
Jaja pito
hi Spanishfollower too here(tho I'm American too lol), tho Spanish people r not use to talk in English so whatever a word that doesn't have a translation like Steve they add the "e" first, tho I laugh that was add the "pit oscura" thing lol, even tho that's the reason that pit has a different way to call him, just here to add my opinion :D
14:46 Im from Spain so I can kinda explain. The announcer doesn't say "El" at the start it's just an "ES". Because in Spain we usually pronounce the english "s" like an "es". And if it really say the "El" at the beginning, it's just a colloquial form of saying "The". We use it to give emphasis to the name of X person.
can confirm
El is also for male while La is for female correct?
El gatto = The (male) Cat
La Purro = The (female) dog
Although this might be more Mexican Spanish than Spain Spanish
@@Sp3ctralI Yes, you're right. El is male and La is female, is the same in every kind of spanish, but they both mean "the" in english. Btw, the word you tried to say is "perro" not "purro". Also, is a bit more complicated than that (for example, saying la perro is not correct) but is difficult to explain all that in a youtube comment.
@@Sp3ctralI nope, you’re correct, spanish variations often tend to change certain words in a colloquial way, not formally
@@Sp3ctralI Correction
El Gato- Male Cat
La Gata- Female Cat
El Perro- Male Dog
La Perra- Female Dog
This last one is also an insult in Spanish with can be translated like "B*tch", also, Mexican Spanish and Spain Spanish have no differences
The fact that Terry was released back in 2019 is actually messing with my brain a bit
I am old now
What?
Really?
I only remember this because I got the game a year late and he was the newest at the time
14:22 he also wouldnt be called that because "Oscura" is the female version of the spanish version of dark
in spanish, all adjectives are gendered, just like nouns are
This video made me realize that there are two versions of Spanish Smash, because I have my game in Spanish and I am from México. In my version, "Bowser Jr." is still named "Bowser Jr." and not "Bowsy". I think this is because many games have two translations to Spanish, one for latin america and one for Spain. Also, that would explain the comment I saw that said "Robin" is called "Daraen" in Spanish too, in my Spanish Version, "Robin" is still "Robin", so maybe is European versions that give "Robin" the name "Daraen", like deutsch.
Probablemente sea por eso. Nosotros tenemos otros nombres cambiados, como Estela (Rosalina) o Dúo Duck Hunt.
latin spanish and spanish fom spain, every countly that speaks spanish speaks it diferently and some of em use diferent words, like in mexico your "cool" could be compared to "chido" infact some times its so diferent that even the north and south of mexico varies, the south doesnt know what "chido" means and diferecens for other stuff like pool "alberca" for north and "pisina" for south, but we can all agre that the most diferent one is spain's spanish
Ah, me ganaste
A veces me gustaria poder decidir especificamente que quiero que este en Latino y que no, porque me gustan la mayoria de pronunciaciones y traducciones en la version en Español Latino (ademas de que soy de Latinoamerica, 'tonces como que tiene mas sentido), pero no me gusta nada que Estela se llame Rosalina (Estela = Nombre en España de Rosalina - Rosalina = Nombre en Ingles y actualmente tambien en Español Latino de Estela), no hay razon para que esto sea asi, con Bowsy/Bowser Jr. al menos puedo decir que estoy bien con ambos y que enrealidad que yo recuerde nunca se vio ninguno de los dos nombres en el Español antes del Smash en el que debutaron como luchadores (aunque puede que me equivoque), pero con Estela es directamente una tonteria porque aca como con la mayoria de juegos de antes de Super Mario Galaxy solo tuvimos la version en Español de España, asi que basicamente nosotros conocimos a Estela como Estela, no como Rosalina, lo que lo hace un cambio de nombre inentendible porque es el que ya vimos en Latinoamerica y ademas Estela es muchisimo mejor y no acepto discusion.
Algo muy gracioso por cierto es que, siguiendo con esto de no seguir lo que tendria sentido, en los consejos de SSBU, cuando se habla de la Succionaentes de Luigi (la de Luigi's Mansion 3), en la version Latina la llaman "Succionaentes GOM-1L", el cual es su nombre en la version Española, en la version Latina de Luigi's Mansion 3 se le llama "GO-1000", en pronunciacion, ambas son basicamente lo mismo, pero sigue siendo un error que no tiene sentido
For the Spanish segment: we pronounce an "E" before "steve/snake" due to similarity. There arent many words that starts with 2 consecutive consonants like "st / sn", the more common mixes are "tr / pr / pl / ch / cl " to name a few, and since the "s" sounds like "es" in Spanish we just pronounce Steve as "Estiv" phonetically speaking, the same goes for Snake, we pronounce him as "Esneik"
So, you're saying whenever Spanish speakers see a word beginning with "St" or "Sn", they're just like "Espera, ¡eso es ilegal!" and put an "e" sound in front of it?
@@Klabbity_Kloots yeah, as i said it is due to similar sounds, and in spanish we dont have any words that starts with "st / sn" we just put an "e" before just for the sound, not to writing
@@Klabbity_Kloots
"Ese" refers to a male individual.
"Eso" refers to a thing or concept.
Therefore it would be "¡Eso es ilegal!", not "¡Ese es ilegal!"
@@ridori7376 My mistake, brother.
@@Klabbity_Kloots dont worry 💪 everyday one learns a new thing
20:43 I want to add to that Mushroomy Kingdom bit by saying that in French, this stage is called "Royaume Champiternel"
Royaume just means Kingdom, but "champiternel" is a made up portmanteau of "champignon" (mushroom) and "sempiternel" which means "continuous and tiring" (as in, you get tired of it), which makes sense considering the stage loops infinitely, and it is based on SMB's W1-1 which is constantly referenced for nostagia purposes, so you would indeed get tired of it
"continuous and tiring" That's hilarious!
16:51 To add to the Spanish Part, Same as Italian “Oscuro” and “Oscura” also translates to Dark just gendered in Spanish. So theoretically Dark Pit could’ve been called “Pit Oscuro” (Because he’s a male it ends with an “o” not with an “a” like you mentioned earlier) but like you said in some countries it’s basically a innuendo so it was best to avoid using it.
PITO JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Pit oscuro heheehehe
JAJJJAJJAJAJAJAJA
Yo siempre uso mi pito oscuro para destruir a los demás c:
Aunque a veces también uso mi Pito Blanco o normal x'D
@@eltiogroudonaspe'....si chiamava davvero pit oscuro? (I dont know if you are italian)
the fact that this is 30 minutes long is insane. i thought there would be no more facts about this game past like episode 3, yet here we are.
I DID NOT REALIZE THAT
I guess this guy dosent watch pkbeats
Until you realize it’s just regional name changes and reveal trailer analysis
@@ThePorpleSlimeG IT'S STILL 30 MINUTES LONG 😭😭😭
It’s not facts about the game tho more like facts about translation and advertising
You might have missed a few languages. technically. Spanish and French (as well as English) have two different variants depending on whether the Switch's region is set to America or Europe/ other regions. They share announcers with the European version, but some of the names are different to be consistent with NoA and NoE's localization (Latam/European Spanish and Canadian/European French).
Something else that might be interesting is that song names only get 3 translation, 2 for English in NA and EU, and 1 for Japanese.Every other language just gets the most suitable name for the region.
It's kind of like the difference between British English and American English.
Ah yes, I remember watching Smash gameplays before the release and got a bit scared when in a Spanish play someone choose Rosalina but instead said "Estella" which is the Spain name while in latam we have Rosalina, then the game came out and thankfully was localized, strange enough there are other minor differences such as Pikachu's name, in Spain is pronounced the normal way "pikAchu", but in latam for some reason they felt the need of changing it to "pikachÚ" which I find weird because we don't exaggerate the U, we only make the A sound a bit less, something like "PIKaCHU"
Yep, always NA have to be the odd one out even when it's the same exact language
I can confirm. I was watching zero playing ssbu at the beginning of ultimate and for fun he switched languages. And when it came to french, the name of some characters were not the same as the name we have in France.
Yes. In Latin Spanish, Bowsy is just left as Bowser Jr. Which is weird, considering other games call him Bowsy here to.
There are actually two spanish versions for the announcer, one for Latin America and one for Spain.
This is very weird, as the announcer is the same in both versions, but uses different names for the characters.
I believe almost every character has a slightly different name, even if the name is written exactly the same way, you can hear two very slightly different voice lines.
Also. Robin is "Robin" in LatAm and "Daraen" in Spain.
Other notable differences are Rosalina being called "Estela" in the Spain Ver.
One of the explanations for this is that maybe they couldn't get a Latin American announcer so they asked the same guy to do both versions. You can even hear the announcer trying to not use the spanish accent for the Latin American ver.
Also, Bowser Jr. is only Bowsy in the European / Spain Spanish version. LatAm Spanish just calls him "Bowser Jr."
Me as an latino, i hate the voice announcer i hate that nintendo didnt get a latin anouncer cuz the voice of the spanizh one sound awful, since brawl. But i least now we got a change in ultimate cuz i was getting tired of hearing IKE
For villager in french:
In French there are words that you don't pronounce the last consonant unless it has an "e" at the end like "blond" (blon) and "blonde" (blonde). So for villager it would translate like this:
Villagois (village-wah)
Villagoise (village-wahz)
Oui
The music in Palutena's trailer is from Kid Icarus Uprising, it uses bits from the chase section in the Chaos Votex chapter, and the slow, calm and sad part when you're at Palutena's Temple in the previous chapter
Oh wow you're totally right, I actually did go through every flying section songs from KI:U to see if that's the song it uses, and when I got to Chaos Votrex it sounded super weird so I thought "this isn't it" and moved on. For everyone reading this, here's the part used in Palutena's trailer: th-cam.com/video/0VHhOhYq4P4/w-d-xo.html
Regardless, it's not a Smash Remix so my point still stands, but thanks for correcting me!
Ok, Spanish time
For Steve and Snake, his not adding "el" at the beginning, he's just adding a lot of emphasis to the first syllable of their names because of the S sound
The Spanish announcer is notorious for being bad, like, really bad, mispronouncing names like Ike and some Pokemom, specially for the Latin American countries, since smash bros since Brawl has always used only Spain Spanish, instead of having an option for Latin American Spanish, so we get weird stuff like Bowsy, because I swear he was called Bowser Jr before. Latin America always gets the short end of the stick
Also, for Dark Pit, it would had been Pit Oscuro, not Oscura, and the name change could be for that, or just like in French, the name they decide to give Dark Pit, now his nickname is straight up slang for a penis in Latin America with an extra T
Edit: forgot something about Dark Pit, Pit Sombrío would translate to Somber Pit, as well as other words like gloomy or shadowy
@@PJiggles totally, just wanted to mention it because of how much I love THAT specific part of the song since the first time I've listened to it in that trailer, as well as the whole motif in those chapters
Also had some stuff about Spanish because I'm from Mexico
I was like, “I *know* that music” I’ve got who knows how many hours in Uprising so I thought I was almost going crazy not being able to pinpoint it
I am glad someone mentioned this. I played KIU more than I played Smash4/3DS, and was a ringer for Pit/DarkPit and Palutena (and their music).
13:36 also a pretty obscure fact about the International localization:
Here at Latam the game uses a "latinamerican vertion" of the european Spanish narration. In fact, there are just suddle little changes so it "should" be a bit more "familiar" for us (like changing the pronunciation of Pokémon to match the one used in the anime dubb and adds) but it still uses all the Spanish of europe voices, and it feels a bit off for our true neutral accent.
Yeah, it's weird hearing "Pokemón" instead of just Pokémon. It's a neat mispronunciation that will never leave us xd
puta madre nintendo
Yeah, the voices always got a laugh out of me because most of the game is localized to be more familiar for us latinos, but the voices have EXTREMELY thick spanish (as in, from Spain) accents.
@@ttgb2990 although not many characters speak spanish, wii fit trainer and sonic are the only ones that I remember
es algo gracioso considerando que se supone que íbamos a tener la opción de elegir el lenguaje
29:38 Correction!
The individual letters in 검술 may mean "Sword" and "magic", but put together it simply means something like "Swordcraft"!
The letter "술" is added to a number of other words to mean the "art" of said word
Also I'd like to add another fun fact about the Korean version; Just like in Japanese, they use the same voice actor (Xander) to read out the names in Korean as well. So his pronunciation is very goofy (not in an offensive way). He tries his best, and tbh it's really impressive, but he still has a "foreigner speaking Korean" accent that I find really charming and funny. I remember laughing my ass off with my korean friends listening to how he tries to pronounce things lol
I don't really get why they did that. He does the names for all Asian languages, but they got new people to do the European versions.
That's kind of what happens with some words in English too, like "badass" which confused me so much as a teenager "why bad and ass together mean 'cool'? " Haha
@@Liggliluff Cause Xander is simply built different.
Didn’t he explain that nearly immediately?
@@randomname9291 He says it could mean that but it literally does mean that
To clarify the confusion about Daraen and Robin in the german version: As you said in the german version of Fire Emblem Awakening the default name was Robin however after this game it seems like they made a conscious decision to change his name to Daraen because in every other game after Awakening in which Robin appears (Fates, Warriors, Heroes, Smash 4, Smash Ultimate) he was called Daraen and not Robin. It seems like they just prefer the name Daraen and stuck with this name ever since
This is basically a language learning video masked as a video about video games.
And I’m here for it
I love how when talking about the languages, he (from what I can tell) gets the pronounciations mostly right, but once he gets to German, the language arguably closest to Dutch (at least out of those in the game), he just starts to struggle without even knowing.
Also yes, as someone who lives in Germany and whose friends all have Smash set to german, I HATE the name Daraen.
He also butchered the pronounciations of the word "dark" in russian
Das ist der einzige Grund weshalb ich das Spiel auf English gestellt habe ngl
@@Petardo_Dilos he literally sounds like he's having a stroke when saying "schütze"😅
@@Petardo_Dilos Or when he called the Russian letter "h"
@@Petardo_Dilos he butchered like all of russian
As an italian here, regarding the confusion on the inklings, the "ragazzo/a" part of the name comes first because it's the "noun" part of the name while the "Inkling" part is the adjective since it's a "race", in italian we use the noun before adjectives. I'm just confirming this because you said "not 100% sure" and I figured it would probably be because of the grammar difference between english and italian since it's a very common problem for people studying them, to put it in perspective it would be as saying girl/boy inkling in english, it's just wrong grammatically.
on another note, I have a guess for why the german name of Robin is Daraen in every other game after Awakening, and that'd be because "Daraen" is what the other big european country call them and they figure it out that'd be easier for german fans to talk about the character with the name they might hear more often. This is all a guess tho and I'm not sure myself, I'm basing this on the fact that it's called daraen even in spin off such as fire emblem heroes.
Comunque suonano molto meglio con ragazzo/a davanti secondo me ;3
12:58 technically Evil Pit would be right, but it's moreso of a synonym than the actual word. The actual translation of "Maléfique" would be "Maleficent", leading to Dark Pit being actually called in French, "Maleficent Pit". The more you know.
My favorite language difference is that in French King Dedede is called Roi DaDiDou which is so funny to me. Also I love that Young Link is Link bambino and I know it’s not how it’s pronounced, but Dunkle Samus pronounced like in English is an incredible name
It bugs me how English speakers say "Deedeedee" instead of his actual name, Dedede (like the "de" in denim or devil)
Actually, in Japanese the “King Cruel” pun is actually more noticeable since that’s how it’s said in Japanese.
The reason why Steve and Snake have an "E" sound before the "S" is probably because most words that start with an "S" in Spanish have a vowel after it... the "T" and "N" respectively in their names clashes... so they soften the "S" sound with an "E" in front of it because of how Spanish tents to be read, with two letters for each syllable (usually).
Example: People with Spanish accents may pronounce these words with an "E" in front of it...
eSprite
eStop

Since he didn't quote them, here are some characters with a very different name in French:
- Rondoudou = jigglypuff
- Amphinobi = Greninja
- Carapuce = Squirlte
- Herbizzare = Ivysaur
- Dracaufeu = Charizard
- Marie = isabelle
- Roi Dadidou = King Dedede
- Daraen = Robin
Fun fact: Jigglypuff's entire evolutionary line in French are adorable,
Igglybuff is Toudoudou (Very soft)
Jigglypuff is Rondoudou (Round and soft)
and Wigglytuff is Grosdoudou (Big and soft)
4:04 Actually, that IS a Smash remix-they did, in fact, remix Cloud's victory fanfare for Smash, and that is used in the trailer.
Oh I'm aware that his victory theme in Smash is a remix, but it's not a Smash remix in the sense that you can play it on a stage. Almost every character has an original arrangement for their victory theme, even Sora, so technically every series has a "Smash Remix" if you look at it that way.
You're right that I could have at least mentioned that in the video though lol, idk why I didn't
Ok
@@PJiggles everyone except for Joker
@@juanrodriguez9971 And Kazuya.
14:42 as someone who speaks spanish, the announcer's way of saying Steve and Snake actually sonuds more like "Esteve" and "Esnake", that is just a pronunciation quirk of the Spanish language since it is hard kind of hard to pronounce words that start with two consonants, such as the aforementioned names. And the announcer does not add the prefix "El", even though it might sound like it.
in other words, like how thick italian accents are presented as ending words with vowels (it'sa me, mario). from what i know, very few italian words (if any) end with a consonant, so ending with a vowel comes naturally to them
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the different languages aspect! I loved hearing you share your own language too! It was so cool and please do more!
I think you'll like the French version of "Mushroomy Kingdom": "Royaume Champiternel". 'Royaume' is 'Kingdom', and 'Champiternel' is a pun between 'Champignon' (Mushroom) and 'Sempiternel', a fancy French word which kinda means 'eternal' but in a rather negative way, like 'perpetual' or 'never-ending'. It conveys the idea that the Mushroom Kingdom sadly survived all its inhabitants, I find it quite brilliant.
Okay Pjiggles. I laughed way too much at these translations. Thank you.
Btw here's a useless fact. So in World of light, the Pokemon trainer him/herself is on the actual overworld. And to get to Pikachu in world of light, you need to "Swim" to get to the character. And if you come back to that area after getting Pokemon trainer, then you can see a drowning animation for the trainer despite the fact that they're never supposed to go in water on stages.
15:30 Small correction, the words aren't exact synonyms, only when translated into english as "Dunkle" is a female adjective and "Finsterer" is a male adjective, the equivalents for the other gender would be "Dunkler" for male "Dunkle" and "Finstere" for female "Finsterer", also "Finster" can be used as a personality trait which basically can be translated into "sinister", which fits for dark pit.
And suddenly the show Recess makes a little more sense. Finster was the name of the teacher!
I also heard that they didn’t call him "dunkler pit" because that would sound weirder and could be associated with his color
i was looking for this comment because i figured there'd be no reason for both words to exist if they have identical meanings
Ah yes Sinister.
That's word for Dark pit instead of the actual antagonist of Metroid Prime 3.
(9:50) What annoys me about the language select is how Japanese is on the left side. Put Japanese on the right, and Dutch (Nederlands) on the left, and what you get is:
- Left side contains only Latin-script languages, and contains languages spoken mainly in Europe and America.
- Right side contains only non-Latin-script languages, and contains languages spoken mainly in Asia ... if we consider Russia Aisan.
...they could also have made it so the right side is on the left, when the console region is set to Japan, so Japan is on the left. The rules still applies, just switch right/left.
Pjuggles trying to pronounce French made it 10x better
14:45
They’re not saying “El” before their names, it’s just how the “S” can be spoken like “es” like in English sometimes. It’s just more pronunced in Spanish than in English.
Certified epenthetic "e" moment
14:04 I don't know why, but I just find the fact that King can be interpreted as a title and name very funny. Like, imagine if they announced his full name along with his title. "Now introducing his royal highness, King King K. Rool". This is not as funny as I'm trying to make it seem but I do not care.
Shades of King Bradley from Fullmetal Alchemist
And then you do it in russian so its King King King
Random comment about the Italian names for the Inklings: In italian adjectives often go after the name, but sometimes go before just like in english. I think there are rules for if it needs to go before or after the name but most of the time you just go for what sounds best and Inkling Ragazza doesnt sound very good, mostly cause of the fact Inkling ends with a consonant, which makes it harder to start the 2nd word cause in Italian 99% of words end in vowels
Probably Inkling is postponed because it refers to the species in this context. As a rule of thumb, the order of nouns and adjectives is usually the opposite of English. They could have probably just put "Inkling" without specifying "ragazzo" and "ragazza" tho
(17:40) It's not an adjective, it's a noun. That's why.
21:45 They've been spending most their lives, living in a pikmin's paradise
In russian traslation Little Mac is called "Малыш Мэк", which means "Baby Mac" or "Kid Mac". If you translate it accurately, it should be "Маленький Мэк". (sorry if I made a mistake somewhere)
P.S. I also recommend listening to the Russian announcer pronounce Sephiroth's name.
23:39 Bewohner and Bewohnerin from the German translation has the same situation. Those words don't specify that they live in a village, it just means "someone who lives somewhere"
14:54 thats because when we, the spanish say an english word started with "S"we usually misspronnounce it as "es" (also its easier for us to understand the pronnounciation "esteve" instead of "steve") thats why he says that

Fellow Dutchman here, who actually played Splatoon 2 in Dutch shortly, and I can confirm that at 22:20 the name in Splatoon 2 is actually Tuna Towers(tonijn torens) in the game too, which means the Dutch translation team actually took it from Splatoon 2. Just a fun fact.
i guess those guys like to put their own words when translating stuff
also “patatje oorlog” doesn’t really have a solid translation, it’s either fries with peanut sauce mayonaise and raw onions or war fries

A few notes from an Spanish native Translation and Interpreting English/French student:
- The pronunciation of Villageois and Villageoise is actually different, but barely noticeable. The S is slightly pronounced in Villageoise while it isn't pronounced at all in Villageois because it lacks the final E for female.
- It's important to mention that you are talking about the Spain Spanish localization. Some characters are called differently in LATAM, like Bowsy, who retains his English name there, Bowser Jr. Other examples are the fact that Rosalina and Luma are called Estela y Destello in Spain and Rosalina y Destello in LATAM.
- Oscura is female for Oscuro (Dark), so Pit should be Pit oscuro. I doubt they didn't named him like that because it would have sounded like "Pito", which is one of the ways of saying "Penis". I think it is because of his Japanese name, which is Black Pit, refering to him not as a dark Pit but as a shadowy, black-colored Pit (sombrío) while Dark Samus is called Dark Samus in Japanese and got translated as that (Oscura)
- Finally, the thing with Snake and Steve... Your Spanish-speaking friend is definitely not native and must have a very average level. In Spanish, we speak in syllables, unlike most languages. We don't have a sole "S" sound, but pronounce it as "Es". That's why it sounds like "Estive" and "Esnake", it is not "El Steve" and "El Snake" LMAO
Are you sure "dark pit" in the original game is "black pit" and not simply "pit 2" ?
Actually, in "Villageoise", the "s" is pronounced as a "z" (it is a French rule : an "s" between two vowels is pronounced as a "z" !)
I get non French speakers don't really hear it, but for us, it is very obvious ^^"
That's what I was thinking when his Spanish friend didn't know that basic thing in the spanish speaking
@@Hes_Gone His "Spanish friend" probably is a Californian whose only contact with Hispanic culture is that he had a Mexican greatgrandfather
@@cruzdesangre2850 that explains all
10:45 During the Sm4sh Wii U/ 3DS era, Olimar was known as “Pikmin and Olimar” for a while before the release. You can also see it referred to as such in the Mario Kart 8 amiibo compatibility video. The narrator refers to the amiibo figure as “Pikmin and Olimar”.
Just a tip for the french part, "Villagoise" would pronounce the S, but Villagois would not. In french (usually) the last letter isnt pronounced unless an E is after it.
The amount of research you have to do I applause you for that. And as a French I can tell you that your pronounciation was very great for Villageois, Pit Maléfique, Garçon/ Fille and Entraîneur !
im so happy for us to be at episode 10 of this series, i remember when we were at the first ever episode.

@@Attacker72 I feel old now
I showed up at 4 so can't relate as much but still it has been a long time
14:59 the announcer doesn’t really say “el” before their names, instead he prounounces an “e” before their name. This happens because they’re english words and most spanish speakers would prounounce it like that
esteve, esnake, espanish
Honestly, I would love to watch you talk about the differences in Dutch and English. I love to hear people talk about their own language. I love it!
Fantastic video! It's been a pleasure to help you with the italian translation.
One thing about Daraen's (Robin's) name: it's an anagram for "Andrea" which is the most common (and probably the only) unisex name in Italian.
Still no idea why it was used in the French and German versions too
I don’t speak much Spanish but I’ve had several Latino guys at my work and for words that start with “S” and are followed by a consonant, depending which country you’re from you may pronounce an extra “e” at the beginning. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything different, it’s just a pronunciation thing, so like they would say “especific” instead of “specific”.
These guys were Costa Rican and Venezuelan in case anybody is wondering
It may happen due to such words having a spanish counterpart
Specific: Especifico
Also now that i think about it, in spanish we may not have any word that starts with S+any other consonant.
We have words that start with 2 consonants, but i cant think of anything that also starts with s. All of them have an "E" at the beginning, so it may be muscle memory.
They're not saying "el" they're just adding an e sound before the s. The whole e before the S thing is because of the phonology of Spanish, it's just a thing we do without even realizing. There aren't any words that start with S followed by another consonant, it's just not allowed it doesn't exist. So we involuntarily add an e at the start when trying to pronounce it. There's even a soda brand called "Escuis" that comes from how'd you write out the pronunciation for "Squeeze" in Spanish, and you can see the E there.
what about serpiente
@@weirdkraken That's S followed by a vowel, I said S followed by consonant.

I love this series sooooo much. Every time I immediately watch it as soon as I have time to.
Imma submit this fact again:
The Azura spirit is actually useless. It costs two slots for two effects that can be equipped separately for one slot each: Increased weapon power and increased move speed. Equipping those 1-slot spirits separately gives you the same weapon power but more movement speed than equipping Azura, and you don't get your Power inflated as much (meaning you get better rewards).
@@HmmBearGrr Nope, she just gives you the buff to weapon strength and increased move speed. The double final smash thing is something that the AI Corrin gets in her Spirit battle only.
Thats an actually useful fact tho
Finally a comment that doesn't mention the language section
What about the new spirit? There is a better version of it since sora was released in Smash.
Interesting about the German translation also might be that Sheik is spelled Shiek there, because in German the combination of e and i makes an English i sound. The way that it got "translated" makes it clear to German natives how to correctly pronounce her name.
14:58: the reason behind this is that for most of the words in spanish starting with ''s'' are ussually harder, so if you're talking fast you put an additional ''e'' to make it easier.
For Example: ''Si! consegui un e'strike!''
I'm very late to this but for the trailer music, the one used in Palutena's animated section is named, it's "Chaos Vortex," from Kid Icarus: Uprising, specifically used during the end of the flying section of Chapter 21.
I might do little parentheses for the French language. If you play in the EU version of the game, you'll get France French, Belgium French, and every other French speaker's country in Europe, while in the NA version, you'll get the French Canadian version.
Some names in the French NA version aren't the same as in the French EU version. For example:
- Captain Falcon and King K. Rool are kept in the EU version, while in the NA, they are called "Capitaine Falcon" and "Roi K. Rool", which translate to their original names. Weirdly enough, I think it's the only language where the King in King K. Rool is translated?
- For Zero Suit Samus, in the EU version she's called "Samus Sans Armure" which translates into "Samus without armor" or like "Zero Armor Samus". Kind of a weird discovery, because in the NA version, she's called "Samus Sans Combinaison" and *combinaison* means a suit, so "Zero Suit Samus".
- Villager is called Villageois (Villager) in the EU version, and Habitant (Inhabitant) in the NA version.
- Rosalina & Luma are called Harmonie & Luma in the EU version, but in the NA, or more specifically in Canada, we call her Rosalina & Luma.
- Robin is called Daraen in the EU, but in the NA it's still Robin.
- Mii Brawler in the EU version is "Boxeur Mii" (Mii Boxer) and in the NA version it's "Bagarreur Mii" (Mii Brawler)
- Piranha Plant is called "Plante Piranha" which obviously means the same thing, in the NA it's "Fleur Piranha" and it means "Piranha Flower". Also surprising, because I don't think I've ever met any québécois who called him "Fleur" and not "Plante".
They're might be some other things about the stages, but I'm a little too lazy to search.
Why is mii brawler translated to bagareur mii and not mii bagareur? It sounds off
It's interesting to think that in the American French localization you didn't change Rosalina's name while in EU they did because that's exactly what they did in Spanish. As they named Rosalina "Harmonie" here in Spain they named her "Estela" while in Latinamerica they call her Rosalina.
@@shrezinpumking8038 Because, as someone who plays preferably in English and is not used to seeing the EU French names, I mixed them up (Mii Boxeur is actually Boxeur Mii)
As a Québec resident, I second that fact; I never called Piranha Plant a flower.
This !!
Canadians are very butthurt about any English words appearing in their dinner plates, even when said words are untranslatable names such as "captain" in captain falcon. Next thing they'll translate the "smash" and "bros" too lol
Hi PJiggles! Mexican follower here!
At 14:42 the reason why when the announcer sounds like saying The Steve or The Snake (El Steve, El Snake) is because, specially in spain, people struggle when saying names that start with "s" without a following vocal, so most names that begin with and "s" usually follow with a vocal, like Sebastian , so a name like Steve, which begins with an "s" but doesn't have a following vocal is hard to say for spanish speakers, specially in spain, like I said, so they pronounce it like it begun with and "e" instead, so it sounds like Esteve or Esnake
Today we also learn that Spanish speaker can't read comments before posting a 100th copy of "it's not el Steve"
I like how a big chunk of the music in this video is miitopia music (really good game)
I love changing the language to see how it changes certain people's names. My favorite is Dark Samus becomes Dunkel Samus in either German or Dutch.
Some other curious facts at least in Spanish are some changes depending of the region of the game, for example the American version of Smash some characters talk latin spanish (wii fit trainer), in the European version some names are different (Robin = Daraen, Rosalina = Estela).
Also the pronunciation for Steve or Snake for easier to pronounce for some people sounds like "es", in spanish those names translated or changed would be "Esteban" and "Serpiente"
It should also be noted that there are differences between the spanish from Spain and spanish from Latin America, but most of them are minor (even more considering the announcer voice actor is the same anyway, who is from Spain). However, many Mario characters in Spain have direct translations (like Dry Bones and Dry Bowser being called Huesitos and Bowsitos respectively) while in LatAm we still call them by their english name. In this case Bowser Jr is still Bowser Jr in LatAm instead of Bowsy. (Althought there is a lack of consistency and can vary from game to game)
18:59 *inhales*
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
(20:40) Also, names in different languages don't have to be perfect translations of English ... especially since Enlish isn't even the original language. Making the Dutch translation an alliteration is so much better.
I like how as a reference for cowboys PJiggles uses “Back to the Future 3”
13:50 in fact in the french quebec language, his name is "Roi K. Rool"
Roi means king so they just translated it
The Pyra/Mythra reveal trailer was handled by Monolith Software. They probably hard the Counterattack version from Smash and used the better version.
The bit about king k rool is somewhat inaccurate because the french version translates his name to "Roi k rool" which means king k rool but doesn't start with a k
Just wanna comment that many of the things you find cool from the translations, like the Great Plateau Tower being called Tower of Resurrection in dutch, aren't made by the Smash translators but come from the original game's translations
The French and Spanish announcers completely change depending on whether you're playing NA or European. Some of the characters have different names and VAs too. This is because there's a lot of differences between Latin American Spanish and European Spanish, and between Quebecois French and European French.
There isn't a full announcer difference between the US and UK, but Xander Mobus does say "Duck Hunt Duo" instead of "Duck Hunt", and the Wii Fit duo have different VAs too.
I loved the video, it was one of the best videos in this series! But I wanted to add something for the German section: I think it's nice that "Mushroomy Kingdom" is "Pilz-Urkönigreich" in german, which translates to something like "Very old mushroom kingdom" Furthermore, Isabelle's name is Melinda in german but unlike Robin, her German name in the games really is Melinda. Young Link's name is "Junger Link" which would translate to young Link. And the last thing I'd like to add it the fact that the Mii Brawler's name German is "Mii-Boxer" which means Mii boxer. Maybe they did it bc there really isn't a word for Brawler.
Anyway, this video was very nice! Keep up the good work! :)
The dutch section was so funny, I really loved it. Great video! Keep up the good work.
Albert Heijn pannekoeken zijn zeer lekker, vader mark eet een discodel op een trekker
@@rens4450 Okay... Cool
12:29 They sound similar, but the male villager is pronounced with a "wa" ending (no s) and female is prounced with a "wahze" ending (with an s sound). It's subtle, but if you can sort of hear it if you know what you're listening for.
I just love meaningless random writing like that. I have no idea how to read it. What does "ah" even mean?
as a dutch person this was incredibly funny to watch. ik vind het echt indrukwekkend hoe makkelijk je wisselt tussen nederlands en engels zonder te stoppen, ik heb daar redelijk veel moeite mee. goede video! :D
Ik ook
Fun fact in spanish young link is Link Niño, wich translates to child link
Toon link stays the same btw
You should check out same language translations in Smash but in different regions, meaning differentiations from, for example, Canadian French and European French, US Spanish (or Latin-American Spanish) and Spain/European Spanish. In Latin America, Robin is known as Robin, meanwhile EU Spanish uses the name Araden.
2:40 Technically, there's only one Sonic remix in Smash period. Angel Island Zone is the one remix the series has and it was in Sonic's debut to Smash a decade ago. It's so weird especially in Ultimate where I believe remix composers were given more freedom with what they could remix. Was Sonic really not on anyone's radar at any moment. The only third parties he beats in remix numbers are Dragon Quest and Kindom Hearts who have literally 0 (he used to beat Final Fantasy but we all know what happened there.
I’d imagine (like most things) it’s Sega's fault. The Angel Island remix is one of the few to be owned by them rather than Nintendo, so it’s probably that they want to be the ones to own all their music. I mean it’s not like Sega staff doesn’t make smash remixes, Jun Senoue and Tomoya Ohtani, the two "main" Sonic composers did remixes for ultimate. I don’t know this whole comment is conjecture but that’s my best guess
I can answer the Spanish one at 14:50. He's saying ESTEVE and ESNAKE. This is because Spanish doesn't allow S + Consonant to start a word, hence Spain vs España. Often Spanish speakers insert the E beforehand to make it more comfortable in English. Even fluent Spanish speakers might say, for example, Espanish Espeaker as a little quirk. This would make sense for Steve and Snake, non-native words. (This quirk is also why the name Steven becomes Esteban, with an E, in Spanish)
as a dutch person, that segment of the video was an absolute treat
ja best wel
There's 2 versions of Spanish depending on the region (Spain and Latam), sadly the Latam translation uses european spanish as a base with slight differences that make it even worse (mainly on pronounciation, as an example we have Pikachu which in Spain is like piKAchu while in Latam is pikaCHÚ because of mexican slang in the anime)
However, some big changes include characters like Robin & Bowser Jr keeping their English names in Latam while in Spain they're changed into Daraen & Bowsy respectively.
Now in the case of characters like Steve & Snake, this is more because of the european spanish pronounciation, but the names should actually not have an E before the S. Other examples like this are Ike, which isn't pronounced like in english (aik), and it upsets me.

23:44 ”Someone who lives in a place”
So… an inhabitant?
13:23 another fun fact is that Villager in Spanish is called Aldeano or Aldeana when you win as them in Spanish the announcer says "La Victoria es para El Aldeano or La Aldeana" as in "The Villager" since it would sound weird just saying Aldeano
En ese caso, cuando gana el Héroe, también le agrega el "el" o solo con los aldeanos?

I really loved how you started Dutch, literally bursted out laughing, dankjewel :)
As an austrian local, where we speak german too, I have so say that you pronounced the german words really good! 👀
something funny about the Spanish dub is that a friend refers to "dark pit" as "pit con frío" Since it is a play on words that would translate as "cold pit"
I mean, your friend's not wrong. Dark Pit is quite cold.
Useless facts about bowser jr/koopalings
1. When doing some attacks, the clown kart’s eyes will glow up ( plus it’ll get a mark on the side of the face, I don’t know what it’s called but it’s thing often used in anime to show a character is getting angrier)
2. When doing down tilt or neutral special, you can see that the clown kart has teeth
3. The doing forward tilt or up tilt, you can see that the fork has a bowser jr symbol on it (even when playing as a koopaling)
4. The propeller at the bottom of the clown kart will spin at different speeds depending on what it’s doing
.when idle it only moves once every few seconds or in idle animation
.when walking very slowly it moves slowly
.when at walking at normal speed it moves at medium speed
.when running it moves fast
.when jumping it will move fast until you begin falling
. It also moves a lot when attacking
5. When playing Lemmy I noticed that the ponytail thing on the back of his hair is yellow but at the tip it fades into an orange
6. This has probably already been said but by using the camera we can see that there are buttons and stuff in the clown kart ( plus also the cock pit that the koopalings are in is pretty much an abyss when looking in the camera
7. When doing side special there is blue fire coming out of the exhaust pipe which I never noticed
8. I’m not sure if this goes for every koopalings but for some when landing they’ll make some sort of facial expression
I hope these can be useful in future useless smash fact videos 😊
29:45 I’m a Korean dude .It doesn’t make sense in English, but it does in Korean.
Also, the word 술 is both a word for alcohol and a Chinese word which sounds same and means skill in something.
14:56 that's bc in spanish we don't really have any words that start with a s and then a consonant letter, so some people pronounce it like Es-teve instead of Steve

Here's a useless fact I haven't seen covered on this series before;
As of version 13.0.1, if you are to play as Little Mac on Boxing Ring, and use his Charge Punch just as you bounce on one of the sets of ropes, the particle effect will be completely absent. This is fairly easy to trigger when you know the timing.
