2. It’s Samurai Shodown IV (aka Samurai Spirits: Amakusa Kourin)

3. The reason for the empty healthbars is that the NEO-GEO hardware achieves simple transparency effects by flickering things on and off in alternating frames. If you look closely, Sogetsu doesn’t have a shadow but Tam Tam does. The shadows use the same transparency method as the healthbars. (So, obviously Tam Tam’s were ‘on’ this frame, but he didn’t have health to display anyway.)

I’ve got two carts of this for my NEO-GEO cabinet. SamSho III is where it’s at though. :3

It makes a lot of sense. I mean, when little kids are first learning how to spell, they go by phonetics–and many may spell butter ‘buder/budder’ because that’s how it sounds in everyday speech. Just like Japanese who hear the same sounds for l and r. I just love language. :) Thanks for the explanation!

]]> By: Hi Mom! http://engrishfunny.failblog.org/2009/02/28/engrish-victoly/comment-page-1/#comment-22924 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 23:37:23 +0000 http://engrishfunny.com/?p=6409#comment-22924 [l] and [r] are both allophones of the same phoneme in Japanese. Basically, they are perceived as being the same sound by native speakers. We have this in English with the /t/ sound of ‘butter.’ In fast/informal speech, many speakers say something like [budr] (the d is actually a flap, but you get the idea). If someone said the word ‘butter’ in that manner, however, a native speaker of English would still know it’s the word ‘butter.’ In this environment [t] and the flap are non-contrastive.

In Japanese, [l] and [r] are like this. It’s something in the environment (the sounds around it) that determines which sound appears.

Both explanations make sense, though I’m not an expert on the Japanese language (or English, for that matter); I’ve never even formally studied it.
I do agree that it is the sound, not the character. It’s just that using phonetics when writing in English is almost useless. It’s a screwed up language, which is why I prefer Spanish, where everything pretty much sounds like it looks.
