Description
This comic was actually made in 2012. You can tell because the style looks so strange compared to the recent comics. Decided to upload it because this topic always made me think of my friends hehe!Just Timbo and Steve playing some Street Fighter. Timbo asks Steve whether Ryu or Ken is better, but Steve doesn't like how Timbo says RYU.
OK... So how many of you said Ryu's name as "Rye-Yoo"? Don't lie! We're all guilty of mispronouncing it!
Honestly I think that it's kinda part of our culture that we call him by the wrong name. I know some folks that keep saying the name wrong even though they know the right way (which that's me lol). My Japan crazy friend must keep correcting us every time! lol

I'm pretty sure me and my brothers also called him Rye-Yoo.
So I like how that guy is uptight about Japanese stuff lol. First the manga, and now this.

All you need to do is play Super Street Fighter II and listen to the announcer.
He clearly says - ROO.

I never called him anything, because true Street Fighters speak with their FISTS!

Let's be honest, everyone calls him Rye-Yoo and only the 'cool kids' called him Ree-Yoo AFTER they learned the correct pronunciation.

In France, we say "Ree-Yoo", but the "R" is pronounced like in French (there is no equivalent in English, but remember English with a French accent ), but it's not the right Japanese pronunciation that should be more like a French "L".
Great strip
