This is what mispronouncing every Smash Bros name sounds like.

Smash Bros Ultimate is a huge game with a LOT of Fighters. There are actually so many that it's possible you've been saying one of their names wrong since the very first Smash Bros game. So let's correct that, as I give you a rundown of all the correct pronunciations. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

HEY PEOPLE BELOW :D

[@egpicgammer232]

I am choking because of these pronouncements

[@carolrickroll767]

Dude I’m getting ocd from this right now!!😂😂

[@ShadowMewto]

HOW COULD YOU NOT SAY "MooTwo". Trust me, that would have been better.... I'm kind of an expert.

[@Vandreand]

As a native smash bros speaker I can confirm that this are all correct.

[@abocwsg2328]

Yes, it is all correct

[@spidersquid8]

Sora's name pronounced as Birdo confirmed

[@fabiomora6491]

I need smash language classes. My friend be like: use his fair. I'm like: this character doesn't have any moves about a fair. No but seriously, this really happened.

[@chrisswife_]

Seamus Aran is a name so Irish that when I typed it out, a pint of Guinness materialized in my hand. It took me a while to scrub my desk clean.

[@jazzie-noodle]

Of course it's the red plumber's cowardly brother... *Loogi*

[@xXJ4FARGAMERXx]

"Loogui", actually. I am also a proud proponent of Guifs

[@punkco990]

You probably had plenty of fun intentionally pronouncing these characters names correctly, I will now pronounce hero correctly from this point on.

[@BackseatYT]

It's very cathartic

[@NinjaPickle]

As a Nintendo Entertainment System System main, I'm so happy that this video finally got the truth out there, so people can stop pronouncing my main like the Loch Ness Monster

[@Luminous-722]

People pronounce Nintendo entertainment system systems name like the locke nies manster?

[@DreadeDragon]

No matter how many times he replaces a hard C with an S sound, I will always be caught off guard.

[@TheDeadmanTT]

it's actually pronounced Mario not Mario

[@cow11star81]

WHAT?

[@abuzzbonehead9306]

I've always called him Mario

[@novenathefox8599]

I thought his name was Mario?

[@Baby_999]

His name is mario mario not mario or mario

[@undynlicia7554]

You’re all wrong, everyone knows it’s Mario

[@elimooorhouse4824]

I gotta say you (or your whole production studio, idk) really know how to make a video entertaining for the long haul. For example, just having those quick little pauses between the characters for each version of the game, followed by a music change, and saying "now we're getting into gamecube territory" does WONDERS for holding my attention during a 9 minute span. It's like you're giving me an entirely new chapter with a different premise even though it's the same concept and formula. It's the little things that make all the difference, very nice work.

[@lucariorules1077]

I can’t even be mad at Lukina since that’s actually accurate in Japanese

[@thiscommenter180]

Ah, that makes sense. Been pronouncing ike (i-kee) this whole time. For real, this is the peak of comedy

[@sonicblaze1539]

Wait it's not EEK?

[@83Protons]

several times throughout the video I was thinking "there's no way he could possibly mispronounce that" just to be repeatedly proven wrong

[@Eggz21]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS A MAN OF CULTURE

[@sethaquauis]

I would've taken Birdo as an echo fighter for yoshi over sora in a heartbeat

[@beasoup7708]

There's someone out there who believed every word of this...

[@imappropriate2428]

I actually believed the Mario one

[@phantom-K]

I watched on mute with the closed captioning and I believed every word

[@andrawthecantdraw5045]

Imagine believing birdo is in smash

[@honkinggoose172]

Why do Yoshai and Kirbai sound like something from Persona And Bosa And Daesi And Drame Rayo

[@Moss_Dude]

Everyone obviously loves those heavy hitters like N.E.S.S. and bay one tta, but just the simplicity of mayth puts it in my top ten.

[@Bubbabyte99]

I'm so happy that he pronounced Luigi as Loogi. I've quite often pronounced his name that way as a joke for YEARS, so I'm glad to see it get some recognition!

[@little1133]

I love that you not only mispronounce everything horribly, but do it with the confidence and commentary of a hardcore Nintendo expert.

[@valzone]

Thanks! I always thought Robin followed R.0.B's pattern, now I know R-0-Bin was just my own little mess.

[@falpsdsqglthnsac]

ok but that's actually how they pronounce lucina in the japanese version

[@xXJ4FARGAMERXx]

Mario (in japanese) is also MA-RI-O with all syllables of equal length Not MAAA-ri-Ou

[@ZalYagunRyai]

i mean. the japanese way is definitely how not to say foriegn names or words

[@user-jh8he7be6s]

yeah and so is simon

[@mesacboy7939]

New Backseat upload LET'S GOOOOOO

[@ADudeNamedLucky]

If you don’t pronounce all of these this way from now on, I’m going to be disappointed.

[@mute_cebu_]

The J of "Gijjlypuff" was the twist that really hit me first 😂

[@doctordingo1670]

This entire video is just what it's like to try and decipher the pronunciation of Lucina's sword, the Falchion.

[@Heath_Rubbadubdub]

Man… Birdo looks a little different from the final product we are getting.

[@chessplayer6632]

Does this remind anyone else of that video about if English was phonetically consistent?

[@cazlindgren]

My name is now apparently: Lucais. Thank you for telling me.

[@mute_cebu_]

Okay, "dihDEEday" was the unexpected but correct joke to make there. You got me. 😂

[@honkinggoose172]

*dideeDIE

[@G00lden]

The kind of educational video we need on this hard times

[@chessplayer6632]

Wow, I can proudly say I’ve been pronouncing these all right! No wonder people are always staring at me when I say their names, people must just be impressed

[@Alpha-oe7zn]

This dude tried to predict the fighter's pass, got it perfect for the first 3 characters, then went into a mental breakdown (thanks largely in part to the xenoblade waifi), and now is doing this. It breaks me up everytime i think about it

[@panakinskywalker6391]

the convinced way you pronounce them makes it so much funnier. idk why but i've especially been dying of laughter at "seamus"

[@saltyunion278]

I'd be nervous if I were the current smash announcer, this man is coming for your job...

[@gebis8515]

3:05 Lucina's name is actually pronounced very similarly to this in the Japanese version. The two other characters who have the exact same name but different pronunciation in Japanese are Lucas (Luchas, like in French) and King K. Rool (King Cruel, which was actually the original pronunciation intended by Rare)

[@stitch32145]

The amount of clips I made from this video is unreal. I just had to tell all my friends how to pronounce their favourite characters. They've been getting it wrong for so long

[@geoffabbythomas7293]

How do you make them

[@katieg1071]

This is genuinely painful to watch. I could not make it past even one minute. It's excellent, keep up the good work.

[@MarvyMarv731]

Bro I can't make it past Mario without doing research. I guess this is meant to be funny. But I just can't watch this to the end.

[@Tronmo]

Thanks, I love it! This is exactly my humor.

[@amsgamingandmusic]

On concept, I didn't think this video would keep for all 9 1/2 minutes, but gawhdDAYUM you made it work haha

[@YJCH0I]

I now want the in-game Smash Announcer voice clips to be replaced with all of these correct pronunciations!

[@EGRJ]

I think my favorite part it the laughter creeping into your voice as the video goes on.

[@lucalopez9604]

*sweating* that's exactly how I pronounce Bowser.

[@christianxarrieta]

i watched all the way through just to show respect to the fact that you made this. incredible content.

[@joshhale9355]

"Nintendo Entertainment System System" fucking got me

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

In all seriousness, I don't understand how some people claim to have hundreds hours in Smash and then mispronounce the names of playable characters in the game. Rosalina especially urks me because it's an actual name, so trying to play the "it doesn't matter" card on her name feels like they are dissing everyone named Rosa/Rosalina.

[@chuck_muckle]

This is an absolute masterpiece.

[@AtheAnt128]

i thought ness would be pronounced “sans”

[@Sofishticated792]

I will now pronounce every fight "correctly just to piss my friends off

[@jmporkbob]

After expanding konge, my grin became shit-eating.

[@GhostHunterDipperPines]

They had us in the first half not gonna lie

[@user-um8xf7oz3k]

"i should probably actually play the game, at some point." And he was never seen again...

[@lucasireland4966]

I can't believe I've been saying my name wrong

[@yanna9293]

I’m too high for this I thought you were actually telling us how to pronounce their names And with every name I was shocked a bit more until I finally realised

[@owainbeaney6313]

most mathematically accurate video so far

[@gorgan67]

I watched the entirety of this and cant remember how I used to pronounce their names

[@user-xq3hd3cx8v]

Any way we can get the voice clips without the music in the background for modding purposes? I wanna try and fix the games which, as we all know, butchered many of the names due to clerical error.

[@SicklySeraph]

I was totally expecting Sephiroth to be pronounced the way Chills pronounced jn that iconic video but this works too

[@CheesyLizzy]

Thank you so much for this guide, I was getting confused

[@mslabo102s2]

It brought me back a memory that is Jelly Belly Pet Rat Gummi Candy video by RunForTheCube.

[@undynlicia7554]

I won’t lie, I expected a Sans is Ness joke from the latter

[@geansanjuan8720]

This single video gave me 29 seizures 12 cases of brain damage and 6 heart attacks

[@FrawgTheDawg]

IVE BEEN PRONOUCING IT WRONG ALL THIS TIME

[@mandaleoan9708]

Wow I didnt know ness was named after the nintendo entertainment system system

[@Ectobast]

That's really triggering xD Well done!

[@ramen_kirby]

“I have a headache” “I have a stomach ache” “I have a 2:13”

[@forkwithasuit]

Question: When is the next "The Crimes Of" Video? And will you do the crimes of kirby?

[@ThePenguinMan]

The fact that he hasn’t even played the game is me with every game, I know everything about but I’ve never played it.

[@DodgeThatAttack]

People think the announcer is pronouncing the names correctly and copy him, but they've just bought into the lie. Nintendo actually payed him off to convince everyone to use the wrong pronunciations

[@JohnnyHikesSW]

You have unlocked a memory of my younger cousin trying to gaslight me into pronouncing Luigi as "Loo-gee"

[@triplemonster9429]

You missed the opportunity to call Ness Sans.

[@redthecrusadertiktok]

Amazing editing

[@cardboard-boxgames9308]

I started watching the video and soon got confused. Quite quickly though I realised this was obviously an April fools day upload... then I checked the upload date... and got very confused again. ps. 'long tonged' killed me

[@mr.faboose6145]

Some of these are... creative

[@GAMEandRODO]

I need these pronunciations on a Smash mod so baldy...

[@DusTV]

I need a SSBU mod that replaces the announcer with this.

[@dowottboy5889]

Can't believe you left out my favorite, Sorry from Kyngdum Hertz

[@dasoupsoup]

3:08 Funnily enough, her name is actually pronounced like that in Japanese

[@henryfromplegia5194]

It’s not “Bye-lth”, my friend calls them “Blythe”

[@honkinggoose172]

I call ‘em Blyeth

[@timidcrayonbox]

you had me at king d’deeday

[@ggnicklu]

Jenandorf sounds like your Uncle you see once a month

[@Supersonicjuju]

Well he clearly missed out on the real last smash fighter. SO RAY

[@max8rown]

Thank you this help a lot.

[@laurenisaclown]

Huck Dunt took me out man. your videos are so good

1:30 That is how my dad and my grandma pronounces Luigi

[@andrawthecantdraw5045]

“Long forgotten shooting franchise” I mean you aren’t wrong

[@83Protons]

4:25 I saw it coming and still had to laugh 😂

[@SmuggoTheLegit]

Little brothers perfectly calculating how to say everyones name wrong

[@pedrowagnerrondinelli8490]

I see that skeleton there right next to cloud in the start of the video. Sneaky

[@poombly4352]

Xander must slapping his forehead so hard, right now.

[@novenathefox8599]

Finally, someone who pronounces them right! Is it so hard people?!

[@snowpoint720]

@Backseat You actually mispronounced one of the names, but I won't tell you which one!

[@patrykpiekarz1263]

What the f*** did you just brought upon this cursed land

[@iLikeDucks_]

Wasnt expecting this but i'll take it

[@NoomStuff]

i kinda expected the last one to be pronounced right, but it still got me

oh boy, this should be good
