For a previous Kiriku Player...

I think I've seen you in new arena forums. Welcome again.

Kiriku may be what the Japanese call him, but in America we call him Kilik. Simply because it's easier and more convenient to read than some Japanese Kanji or Romaji.

If you want to "weeaboo it" and call Kilik "Kiriku" which is a romaji form of what the Japanese call him I won't stop you.


However, true way to write Kilik's name is キリク. In other words, it's best to dig deeper and know why the Japanese call Kilik "Kiriku". They simply call him that because of the Kanji.


I'm not particularly good at all with Japanese. Studying it is like a complicated math equation haha. However, it's best to study a little more than scratching the surface. I know Japan the country is actually called Nihon or Nippon which kinda baffles me, but I'll just stick to being an American and call it Japan. At least America is called America haha.



I'm a weeaboo like you to call Ryu the right way and not "Rye-you". More like "Ree-you". However, I just happen to know certain peeps will probably get on your case on a tidbit like that so I usually let them call Ryu the way they want to. In America, you can call people what you like. Both a good and bad thing. ^^;


Getting back on topic, Xiba is basically the new "Kilik". Just like Natsu is the new "Taki". So if you're digging Xiba, why not main him and whoever tickles your fancy? Be sure to ask when stuck.
 
Ok, from what I've played so far (Beat story mode, got my ass kicked a bit by a C1 in online) Natsu is nothing like Taki o-o. Xiba is a LITTLE like Kilik, but I've noticed that Xiba feels more sluggish and has more frames in his moves that do alot of nothing....for example, his twirling the staff around his neck in his basic X "mash", it seems like he just gets slower and slower until eventually opponents take a coffee break before they counter him...
Also, As far as japanese names go, as i've explained before, most people are anal around where I come from about "original names", but from now on I'll call them the american name, simply because people are less so around here.

Back on topic, If anyone feels like tutoring me abit on how to be a better Xiba player, I'd gladly take some tips.

I understand the "I have to call this guy his true name" logic but bare in mind certain people as you mention are kinda anal about it. Majority of the time, it does make me very skeptical, cynical, and narcissistic towards those peeps. Not because of their preference to weeaboo about, but because I meet many of them online that it makes me go =/

Let's just say I've met many who I ask a few blunt questions and then they get all offended and butthurt at me. So in turn, I become a bit more bitter when meeting one similar to you. However, don't let my somewhat blunt behavior scare ya as I prefer to be straightforward. I much rather chat opinions with some playful smack talk and get along.

Anyways, what system you're on? If on XBL, I recommend looking up Moose Barrage(aka ZOMBIEBEAR666 on 8wayrun). He's very helpful when it comes to getting better at SCV. There's others out there willing to help out, but I'll eventually introduce you to them if you are on XBL.


But before you begin your journey to get better at SCV, I strongly suggest you look at this vid. Trust me, it's mandatory to know the gaming language.

 
Oh, I know what you mean. I'm not a fan of the weeaboo mode myself, I just didn't know how this community took the naming situation, and went the "safe" way >_>; .

Alright, I'll see if I can hook up with moose. I am infact on XBL.
Also, I've took a liking to my custom made Xiba that has more reach than standard Xiba (Only slightly ) and Z.W.E.I. :O
