Conversations and Fireballs - Tanukana on Tekken and Team Cyclops

[@TheReverseParadox]

The translator is amazing he even replicates tones and pauses in her sentences wow sounds like its another her speaking

[@KojWerraps]

It is.

[@ranielcunanan5362]

He's a fluent speaker....

[@Zenkai.boost.Kekkei.Genkai]

[@Haldei]

@@ranielcunanan5362 I think hes talking about how in translating the English he keeps the same tone and pace she used speaking, rather than just blandly and flatly translating the words

[@fabiohaha123]

This translator seems really skilled. I'm impressed.

[@cosmic5368]

Tanukana is cute af. Btw that Translator is extreamely talented. He understands Japanese enough to properly display the emotional meaning behind the interpretaition & not be bland with the translation.

this translator is legit. others should learn from him

[@joehann2607]

Yoko Yamashit speak is easier then writing ... some ppl just had short circuit of a brain ... why ? because ppl always asking for a f**king Dub to watch anime ... that's the main reason why ppl like that always bite their nails seeing other ppl that can speak JPN is jealous like a cat hungry .... I didn't mean to be brag ... but 50-60% of her words I already know before it got translated by the translator .... I never study languages ... all I did is watch JPN ANIME in Sub way not In DUB way ...

[@altiernation5057]

lol, then maybe the advantage of dub is to better understand what the characters are saying on their own native language. you might as well ask for an english dub next time you watch an interview since your english grammar on this comment section need some improvement. :D

He is very good. This is great for helping my Finals in Japanese oral speaking exam coming up.

[@XOAWWY]

came for her, stayed for translator, the f...

[@skyMcWeeds]

If you closed your eyes you'd almost believe the translator was a japanese native his way of speaking is quite fluent and effortless.

[@RaijinOG]

He is very fluent but that accent really sticks out.

[@Trenacetate43]

Yet then when there are Asians who aren't born in English speaking countries but speak perfect English like me, people aren't impressed, unfair :(

[@RaijinOG]

Sarah Yang that depends on who is listening to you. The only reason people are finding this impressive is simply cause they dont know japanese. If someone that doesnt speak english is listening to you speak english, they will usually find it impressive lol. Although I would find it amazing regardless if you know more than one language :)

[@BigBoss-sm9xj]

almost half of the comments are about the translator being absolute boss lol

[@syducer4905]

What a gift it must be to be fluent in English and Japanese in the FGC. Understanding hype Japanese commentary perfectly is the ultimate privilege of being in the FGC in my opinion, yet nothing beats a good PokChop match or an Aris commentary.

[@FuSungECookye]

Syducer this is nothing new. Ryan Hart of the FGC lived in Japan for years and he translates in Japanese and English for his commentary and he's been doing it longer.

[@yaboyvavy]

Syducer you don't need to be "gifted" to learn Japanese. Just don't live in dream world thinking about gifts and get it yo self. Practice

[@putyograsseson]

Syducer man understanding Japanese would be perfect for watching anime...the dream :D

[@Killzone626]

I would destroy her in any video game she plays. These professional gamers can be legit, but there are so many people that aren’t pro that can beat these guys. It happens all the time, but kudos to them to be able to capitalize on it. Let’s be real, her being a cute female definitely helps her. All these creeps out here looking for cute gamer girls has elevated their stock and it isn’t based solely on their skills. If she was that badass, she wouldn’t have been fired for her comments. Instead they canned her and she will be easily replaced.

Should've just made the translator do the interview and posted subtitles

[@wallabror]

Americans can't read properly, it's very common for them to be unable to read subtitles because of their reading comprehension. So subtitles are never in any interview if they can get a translator and have long unecessary pauses.

I love her advice! 19:42 Two important things are necessary: 1. Have a strong mind set. 2. Be prepared to play games so much that normally you might start hating them but you have to keep playing. I love that "love playing games" wasn't the number 1 advice and also that she didn't just say, "follow your passion" :)
