I'm really new to the whole SRW universe and I was wondring why does Elzam calls his Huckebeins " Trombe"?:huh:

Oh and does anybody know a good site to get imported GBA SRW games? I once saw SRW D fer around 25 bucks on e-bay once,but I don't know if that's good or not (both the price and the game),so any insight would be helpful. :P

That is what he calls Zengar when he rides him and he did it so much it turned into a habit whenever he rode anything.

Don't buy a GBA game off ebay if it is "cartridge only."

http://www.ncsxshop.com and http://www.play-asia.com are both quite good.

Well, since 'totoro answered ONE of your questions, I'll answer the other. :P

Elzam has a favorite horse named Trombe, and he names all his mechs after it. As to exactly WHY he does that: he's a nutjob. An awesome nutjob...but a nutjob nonetheless.

Like I said: he's a nutjob.

I mean, that's like asking why I feel a compulsive need to build ridiculously over-the-top melee weapons and then construct complicated support systems for the sole purpose of using them for one battle, only to never use them again. :P

The goggles are part of the Retsuel disguise.

Yes, he thinks that qualifies for a disguise.

... and you all thought I was going to make a Zengar cum joke didn't you?

It's Rätsel, stupid japanese with their clumsy tries on the german language.

I know you're German, Infected; but you really shouldn't take this whole thing so personally. I mean, you don't hear any of us getting pissed off every time Engrish is used, do you?

I don't take it personally, in sound Retsuel isn't even very far from the intended Rätsel. And let's just say that sometimes I've got a bad temper. >_> Sometimes...

Danke!

Aber "Retsuel" klingt doch nicht so wie "Raetsel". Es ist dumm.

Das kommt ganz darauf an wie man es ausspricht. Wenn man das 'e' sehr kurz spricht und das 'u' stark hervorhebt dann klingt es natürlich nicht annähernd so wie Rätsel. Schließlich ist es Rätsel und nicht Retzel, man dehnt das ä also ein bisschen. Ist also nicht dumm, sondern einzig eine Frage der Betonung.

Vielleicht. Aber wenn man Japanisch spricht, sagt man "Reh-tsu-el" (Retsuel), statt "Ray-tsel" (Raetsel). :x

Da ich kein Japanisch spreche, kann ich darüber keine Aussage treffen, aber Rätsel wird eher Reh-tsel als Ray-tsel. Es ist ja auch ae und nicht ai/ay.

Tut mir leid, aber ich kuendige "ae" so wie "ay" von "ray" (englisch) an. "Reh", meinte ich "reh" von "reticle".

-> But Retsuel doesn't sound like Raetsel. It's dumb.

-> That depends on how one pronounces it. When one says the 'e' shortly, and stresses the 'u' strongly, then it doesn't sound like Raetsel naturally. In the end it's Raetsel and not Retzel, so one stretches the ae a bit. It's not dumb, the pronounciation is just questionable.

-> I don't speak Japanese, so I can't offer anything on the pronounciation, but Raetsel would sound more like Reh-tsel than Ray-tsel. It's because it's ae and not ai/ay.

-> Sorry, but I pronounce "ae" as "ay" as in "ray" in English. By "Reh", I mean "reh" from "reticle".

Actually, the vowel component in Tsu can be minimized fairly easily and still sound natural, I believe... though Retsel (with a small E after the Tsu) would be better...

People who've spoken multiple languages can do this within an instant, but when you're telling a bunch of people brought up to say "tsu-el" to suddenly say "tsel" instead, it just doesn't work
