what are the worst characters name in the videogames?I love SF, but El fuerte sounds...absurd..I heard about other fighter called "Kuando"...in english "When"..ridiculous..others?
i agree el fuerte sounds retarded in a lot of waysthe strong one? seriously? thats all they could think of?
It's not like El Fuerte is the most serious of characters in the first place... think his name is intentionally on the lame side.
King like the tekken char, not sounds bad..the names of some MK chars (specially after Mk4) have ridiculous names..like Bo rai cho(means like D-ru,nk), Mavado (Evil without a letter Evl, Evl sounds better)..or other name heard like Muchacha..mmm

Let's say the game is developed in usa, and they decide to use italian names; they will be horrible. That tends to happen more to the usa guys probably because they feel themselves as the center of the world and will use foreign word without proper research. NOrmally in other countries if the guys use italian, it's because one of them knows the language/culture, or at least they put an effort to make it sound decent/make sense.
On King and El Fuerte -- do you guys understand anything about the concept of nickname and scene name / ring name or are you just stupid ?
^i do understand but what about king from KoF? her actual name is king (i think not really a kof person)
Blue Mary has always struck me as rather strange. Mary yes, but blue? Where does blue really come into it.A lot of the MK cast are named shittily. Take noun, apply to character. Frost, smoke, siren, scorpion, reptile etc. Very little real imagination. Some are alright, Liu Kang, Kintaro, Shao Kahn. You know, they've tried. But for so many it's just take a noun that soundsl ike something cool, and shove it on the character.
I think Blanka is weird. I mean I know it's his last name, but white? Really?I guess it's better than Chupa Cabra. <---I have no Idea if I spelled that right.

I don't think we've ever heard her real name, only that she has a brother named Jean, and the "King" was most likely a name (nickname) she picked up when posing as a man to be a bouncer.Cyanide said, March 28, 2009, 09:50:12 pmBlue Mary has always struck me as rather strange. Mary yes, but blue? Where does blue really come into it.Her full name is Mary Ryan. Nicknamed Mary "Blue" Ryan, and then Blue Mary. No, I don't know where the blue nickname originates from.B.Jenet - Bone Jenet would be the same deal - you know, bone, pirate.shamrock said, March 28, 2009, 09:56:24 pmI think Blanka is weird. I mean I know it's his last nameUh ? I don't think Blanka is his last name. His real name is Jimmy, I don't think we know his family name. He picked up the Blanka name when in the jungle afterall, and of course before Dan recognized him as Jimmy and he met his mother again.

His real name is Jimmy, I don't think we know his family name.The blue on blue mary might be because she was a cop, IIRC.about blanka, it's fun because back then soem tought he was female as blanca is a normal female name in latin america.
QuoteB.Jenet - Bone Jenet would be the same deal - you know, bone, pirate.I always thought it was Bonne Jenet, and thought nothing of it as Bonne sounds like an entirely reasonable chicks name. Of course, if it's just Engrish, oh well.
