New Victory Poses

A fairly shallow topic I know, but heh, I'm a shallow person.

Anyway, what I wanted to know is what everyone thinks of the new victory poses that you can by from the shop.

I've got all three of Sarahs.

New Pose 1: She does a backflip across the room and then a kick, muttering "Go back home"
New Pose 2: She does a few lame punches at the screen, and then a jumping kick, shouting something along the lines of "Run along to mommy now". Oh dear, lol.
New Pose 3: She does a selection of kicks.

I've also got Pai's three, which are pretty generic, involving her doing mostly different types of flips.

I've noticed that these new poses tend to be longer than the originals, but in the case of Sarah, a little underdeveloped.

 

IMHO i don't like Akiras new win poses.He looks all flimsy and dancey for some reason instead of some hardened fighter.Haven't got any for my other chars yet...

 

every new lion's win pose is some kind of breakdance neverthles they are nice. oh and like hiddenevil said they are longer than his standard poses

 

yeah pai's are not that great but nothing compared to wolf's terrible ones.

 

I like Akiras normal ones just fine but its a bit of a pain to remember what to hold down right after winning a fight to get the new poses or to even remember to do it so I usually don't bother.

 

Yeah, if I've had a stressful fight then I usually forget to hold down the buttons. On the whole though, I do tend to use them rather than the normal win poses, but maybe that's just because they are something new.

 

wolf's suck, why did sega bother....

waste of animation.

 

Pai
P+G
"mou oshimai? tsumaranaino".
is it over ? it is boring


P+G
"mou oshimai? renshuunimo naranaiwa"
is it over ?I cannot consider this as trainning.

 

Lol i been wondering what she babbles on about after the match. Finally found out and i'm glad it's in japanese.

 

hey, i'm learning japanese, and i just wanted to check if this is correct for one of shun's enter poses?

dore, hajime yo kano

"what's / who's this? nice to meet you (here?)"

not sure what "kano" means yet /versus/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

"hajimeyoukano"
shall we start?

hajimeru ->hajimeyou/hajimemashou

 

Goh

G+K
"koredemo mada reikokusaga tarainai to iunoka"
still not enough cruelty?

P+K
"kondowa dagekidakede shoubushiyouka"
this time let's fight with attacks (punches, kicks)
(but of he says dangeki then it's something else,I don't know)

when Gou loses
"kono orega makerutowa"
Me....to lose?

"kondo koso jigoku wo misete yaru"
this time I'll show you hell

 

Shun: Practically all his P+G ones rock. He gets on the good foot drunken master style.

Jeffery: For a big guy Jeffery should is acrobratic. Am I the only guy who likes "I wiiiinnn!" more than "I'm the winner!"?

Aoi: Her speech one is cool.

Lion: For his "Naturally I win again." pose he should stick the bird.

Vanessa: I like all of hers. K+G looks cooler with the light bracelet.

Akira: Lame. Am I the only person who wants the classic VF1 "Oryaaaaaaa!!!" back?

 

thanks, a question about hajimemashou.. is this a form of hajimemashite?

if so, i don't see any relation seeing as hajimemashite means "nice to meet (or have met?) you for the first time"

if not, well.......... then it makes a little more sense (i think)


(geez i'm such a white belt.. i gotta learn this &^&%!)

 

My Jap is a bit rusty, but I think hajimemashite and hajimemashou has different kanji (which of course you can't tell when it's romanized).
The kanji for hajimemashite means "first." So, like you said, the phrase means something like "nice to meet your for the first time."
The kanji for hajimemashou means, "start" or "origin," so the phrase means something like "Let's begin!"

 

oh, ok.... too bad i haven't picked up kanji yet /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif, but thanks for telling me. now i understand it abit better.

 

hajimemashite literally means "begin" ...

hajimemashou means "we begin together"

adding 'shou' to the end of a verb emphasizes doing something together...

"hajimemashouka" is like saying "shall we begin together?"

And if you're japanese and I'm wrong.... please correct me =P this is from taking classes.

 

I am not Japanese but I took 4 years of it when I was in college and this is what I can remember.

Hajimemashite is a "set phrase" as far as I know, and it means "Nice to meet you (for the first time)"

Hajimemashou is actually the volition/hortative form (eg. I want to do...) of the verb Hajimeru (not Hajimaru, but that's a different topic). So it literally it can mean, "I want to start/begin" or "Let's begin"

 

Adding "mashou" to the end of a verb basically translates to "let's _____". Of course, there are exceptions to this, but remembering it like this will take you very far. It's just confusing b/c the 'technical' definition (or at least the way I was taught) basically states that it softens the statement. (IE - difference between desu and deshou).

The horative would be "Hajimetai", which you probably wouldn't hear in this situation.

For all intents and puproses, KTallGuys translations work quite well.

MK23:
In all honesty, I can't remember the times to use the two different kanji for "begin". ÂÂi‰‚ß/Žn‚ß) But the first one is definitely used in hajimemashite. You just tend to read them and except them. My written JPN isn't good enough to catch mistakes like that even if I read it.

It's similar to write/see/search/look problem most students have. There's multiple kanjis for these that mean the same thing, and depending on WHAT you're looking FOR, the verb changes. Intonation/pronunciation stay the exact same. You'll see this on the Level 2 Proficiency test if I remember correctly.

 

Thanks GP for the quick lesson. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I probably would have failed the test if I take it now. /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif (2 years ago, maybe...) Heh, good thing I don't have to worry about that, since Japanese has nothing to do with my future line of work... I do wish I can go visit Japan again sometime...
