Gradius: Gray-dee-us or Grah-dee-us?
Billy Kane: Cane or Khan?
Guy: Gai, Gi, or Gwee?
Gyruss: Jai-russ or Gi-russ?
Xexex: No @#$%ing idea of how you say this... :frustrated:
POG's question about Qix sort of inspired this, as well as that old topic about ICO... anyone care to guess how you say these names? I might have some more to list in the future...

Gyruss: Jai-russ
Xexex: Zek-zees.
At least, that's how I've been pronouncing them. Don't ask me why I do an S-sound at the end of Xexex,

If you're going off the Japnaese pronunciation for Gradius, it's
Gra-dee-us
Gra, as if Fois Gras, and the rest should be self explanatory. Of course, they botch most pronunciations with there limited sounds, so who knows what they were actually aiming for.

For the longest time, I honestly thought it was "Gray-dee-us..." but then again, also, for the longest time, I believed Mario was pronounced "Mare-e-o," so Jay's probably right. Thanks, everyone. :)
