[up]I think it was pronounced that way in Awakening. Before I played Awakening I read the name and pronounced it Lou-sin-a.

The Smash Bros. announcer pronounced it Luke-in-a

The Japanese version of Awakening probably uses the hard C, while the localized version uses the soft C. Since it's only the Japanese version of Smash, people who aren't familiar with her are just going with it, even though her name's localized differently.

It's like the debates over Pokemon God Arceus all over again.

Also, someone earlier said "RIP Fan". I find that amusing, because fans can very easily rip.

lucina's name is in katakana, using the sounds "ru-ki-na", which is why they say it different from english.

katakana names translate weirdly to english, so lu-see-na could theoretically be just as accurate in english

(basically what im saying is that lucina isnt pronounced with a hard c, its that the japanese reading of her name has a ki in it)

Until Melee, I always thought that Samus' name was pronounced "summus".

And until the Harry Potter movies I always pronounced Hermione "her-me-own", but that's another thing.

Possible big news. Nintendo is making a Smash announcement in 30 minutes. If this is real, it came out of nowhere.

Edit: Okay, this seems to be some Canadian thing. So it's probably some sort of tournament.

[up]Yeah if it is true it did come out of nowhere.

They used to air that show on G4 when G4 was actually good and focused only on video games.

The show was were they had Video Game news and they interviewed people in the industry.

Yeah, Lucina's pronunciation probably is a Japanese thing. I mean, just look at how the announcer says "Dedede" in Japanese compared to English.

Yeah, this is going to be nothing. I'll try and watch it just in case, but we probably aren't going to have the release date for the Wii U version confirmed or anything.

[up][up]Some people pronouce Dedede that way, in more than just Japan. Plus it'll sound like that anyway when saying it faster/without enuniciating.

FEA pronounces it Loo-see-nuh and so will the English version of Smash. There's a reason her Fan Nickname is Lucy.

Thank God. But.. I've never heard her name said in Fire Emblem. Odd.

I'm pretty sure that Robin also says Loo-see-na in their intro trailer.

This song needs more love.
