Capcom Celebrates its 30th with Character Encyclopedia

'Okami.

We won't be making any more of these games.

Sucks to be you.

Lololololololol'


Why do you like seeing me cry, Capcom?

After playing Persona 4, I have a question of you Daystar.

Do you pronounce Okami "oh-kah-mee" or "oak-ah-mee"? I've been pondering this for a little while and since you've got this particular game sewed onto your soul, I figured you were the best forum poster to ask.

OT: Dear Capcom,

I still play Breath of Fire 3, DMC3 and Megaman Legends.

Please remember the time when you didn't suck massive amounts of horse testicles at producing decent games.

Sincerely,

CCM

Oh-Kah-me.

Her first name is a little different.

Amaterasu.

See, I say it as 'a-ma-ta-ra-su', but since it's a Japanese name, the proper pronunciation is 'a-ma-ta-ras', since the Japanese don't pronounce the 'u' sound.

See, I've heard it in Persona 4 videos pronounced as "oak-ah-me", so it's really weird and confusing. Perhaps is has to do with it being a stand alone name. When I hear it pronounced the Persona way, it's always attached to another name like Kusumi-no-Okami or Izanagi-no-Okami. I'm pretty sure I've seen similar in Street Fighter or Tekken, but I cannot say for certain on those.

But I trust your judgment in the matter.

EDIT: I just realized something. See the cover? Now remember Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

I'm sorry.

Well yes and no. It also depends on the word, the part that's being stressed, and even accentual/dialect differences. But typically, yeah, if a word contains a "su" it's a decent idea not to put too much stress on the U.
