B-Ass is how you pronounce it

Hey! Jason 6377! Long time no see! It\'s base. In a way, Bass is kinds the opposite to Rock. I think of Rock being an acid and if Rock\'s an acid, what\'s the opposite to him? A base! Bass is that base. I repeat yet again! If you don\'t believe me ask Capcom!

Whoa now, Airman chill... No need to yell. Others can do that for you.

Pointless commentary:

Ask Capcom of Japan. Asking Capcom of America is like trying to nail jell-o to a tree. They\'ll just give you different answers.

Exactly.

And that would just kill the argument right there. XD

Wow. The Fishy Bass versus the Instrument Bass debate still goes on? It\'s only been like, 4 years or more.

But seriously, if you say it the Fishy Bass way in front of me, I will laugh at you and call you a dumbass. No offense or anything, but it would just kinda hint to me that you have no common sense.

And well, if Megaman in 8 pronounces it Fishy Bass..you also pronounce coup like Zero does in X4, which happens to be coop? It\'s supposed to kinda be \'coo\' for those that dunno.

Stop the coop NOW!

I\'m not yelling. Oh, an it\'s NOT my oppinion! It\'s how it is! I agree FULLY with Holly. If you don\'t, then you\'re wrong! Get over it! Oh! And put it this way! Do you pronounce the \'k\' in \'know\'? Do you pronounce the \'b\' in \'dumb\' and \'lamb\'? No. So why can\'t you see that Bass isn\'t pronounced the way it\'s spelled? It\'s just like the other words. \'knowledgable\' is one. \'Gnaw\' is another! As is \'night\'

I wasn\'t yelling at you. I\'m just saying who cares how you pronounce it. It doesn\'t bother me. Besides you guys read his name here. You can\'t tell if I\'m saying bass or base.

We were being hyperthetic. Also, I said I wasn\'t yelling because you said I was. It\'s pronounced Base. End of story! Bye bye! See you later!

Look kids, I know that you guys are a bit skeptical about this, personally, I pronounce it as I like, and I really don\'t care if that\'s not the \'proper\' way to say it. But who cares?

My real point is: Everyone\'s entitled to their own opinion, so pleeeaaase, don\'t flame just because you don\'t agree.

I\'m not flaming, I\'m just saying \"Why have a different oppinion to that that\'s officially been declaired?\" It\'s not your game, it\'s Capcom\'s. They know. They can tell you. If you tell them how to pronounce the names in your own games, they\'d think you were nuts. For the last time, those who don\'t believe me (not you, Keiyoushi_Takun as you have said repeatedly and I do get the message) ASK CAPCOM

Let\'s just say fish, not musical;Dokay?

Also let\'s disagree in an agreeable way. (Whatever that crap means... I learned it from my history teacher)

Now for the sad part... that makes sense to me....

Huh? I think it means disagree without arguing? *unsure*

It means you can disagree, but be civil about it. (No fighting, yelling, or otherwise bothering your teacher.)

ok... I have a solution.

There IS no character named Bass. He is called Forte and was screwed up in translation. Capcom USA is too stupid to get things right so they replace good names with names you cant pronounce.

Well, I think Bass sounds better, and Forte isn\'t foolproof. What if people started killing him Fort?

it would make me happy. I dont like the english translations, and much less the english language. why cant we all speak japanese, german, and klingon? Thats my idea for perfect communication.

If we had perfect communication, why would we need 3 languages?

That\'s Capcom or America all over.

No. Why would they have tonnes of musical names altogether (see list I posted earlier) and then go with a fish for one character by himself? It just doesn\'t fit! That\'s why I go with Base and I\'m not changing my mind.

BTW, for those that don\'t know, Forte is pronounced \'Fort\'. It\'s a silent \'e\'. Just so you know.

No it isn\'t, I take piano lessons, Yo pronounce it Forte with the e

Ah! As if it was german! (Every word in germen which ends in a \'e\' you pronounce the \'e\' separate. Bitte (Thanks) is pronounces \'Bitta\' or \'Bitter\'.)

No prob. Forte, if you didn\'t already know, means loud, and on Piano music if represented by a stylized F. Fortisimo means Extra loud and is FF. Fortesisimo is REALLY LOUD, and is FFF. My piano teacher says that it goes even higher, but I\'ve never done that.

The same goes for Piano, which means soft. (P) Pianisimo (PP) and Pianisisimo (PPP)


All of these are itialian Just so you know

I know! (We use the same in guitar)

Um... I knew that!:D

I knew what it meant, but our teacher never told us how it was actually pronounced (She said \"This f means you play it louder and that p means you play it quietly.\"):lol:
