== "Here I'll Show You!" or "Now I'll Show You!" ==

I know that the official website says it's "Now I'll show you!", but to me, it sounds like he says "Here I'll show you!" My friend and I are debating about this, and I'm trying to figure out what it is. --[[User:RikoTheFoxKid|Riko]] 19:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

In the PAL version, Sonic says "Now I'll show you". [[User:Xeze|Xeze]] ([[User talk:Xeze|talk]]) 13:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I own the NTSC version, and he clearly says "''Now'' I'll show you!"  Just go to the sound test and click on it rapidly.  Sonic will say "N-N-N-Now I'll show you!" [[User:Enigmatic Mr. L|Enigmatic Mr. L]] ([[User talk:Enigmatic Mr. L|talk]])

==What does Sonic say?==
Me and my boyfriend keep arguing if Sonic says "Now, I'll show you!" or "Here, I'll show you!". I'm betting that it's "Here, I'll show you!"... "Now, I'll show you!" doesn't make any sense at all. "Here, I'll show you!" doesn't make much sense either though... We listened to the soundtrack a thousand times and he is still stupid enough to think he is saying "now". Can someone help prove I'm right? Or just give us proof of what he says so we can settle the argument. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:75.31.65.208|75.31.65.208]] ([[User talk:75.31.65.208|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/75.31.65.208|contribs]]) 02:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC)</small>
:He says "Now, I'll show you!". "Here, I'll show you!" wouldn't make sense. "Now, I'll show you!" means that whereas normal Sonic lacks effective finishing moves even at reasonable high damages, now he's Super Sonic he can KO opponents on very low damages. I couldn't really prove it without asking the developers, but I'm fairly certain that he says "Now, I'll show you!".

:[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/sonic.html As per the official website] (Final Smash section, 2nd screenshot), it's "Now I'll show you!".

== Survey time ==

Righto, in light of the impasse we're having with this "now" vs. "here" thing, here's a survey for everyone. Just post whether you hear "now" or "here" along with where you live/grew up. The idea is to see if people's accents - which affects their perception of others' accents - is causing this sonoric rift. (This is assuming that they did not change Sonic's line between regions of the game, which is a reasonable assumption.)

I very nearly trolled a troll here that would have started the rapture.

So I'll refrain and summarize.

voting is not necessary. in this video it is clearly 'here i'll show you'.
*there is no low frequency energy to suggest nasal airflow as would be consistent with 'now'
*the vowel formants are decisively '''not''' in positions that suggest back or low vowels, which is also consistent with now

::I would also add I am not, of course, slighting anyone for thinking it was "Now". It's a very curious thing about our perceptual system that these things seem to happen so frequently, that is, confusion about the what phonemes are what. It's called the "problem of invariance" and I find it particularly fascinating that despite in 90% of contexts most speech sounds seem clear as day to us, there are still plenty of places where they aren't. The background noise obviously puts a lot of strain on the perceptual system as well as indexical cues ('sonic' shouting that is way different than a person saying it, is what I mean). Also, I would add, "Now I'll show you" does make much more sense, but alas, as with many things the developers did with brawl, the less sensible thing was opted for.

I mean no offense by this, but those who think Sonic says "now" have problems hearing. I suggest that these persons check that out; it could be a build-up of earwax or your brain might recognize "h" sounds as "n" sounds. But really, it's "Here I'll show you!". I mean... like '''really'''. This is starting to peck at my nerves. How on Earth can anyone hear "now"? I'm not saying that my perception of sound is better than anyone else's, but it's not hard to get past those "obscuring noises". This is ridiculous. It's as if people are coming out from nowhere thinking that fish are and have always been a species of elephant. However, "Now" does make more sense, but "here" makes sense almost as much. Comma or not. Sonic says "Here I'll show you" in a tense that the one he is speaking to doubts his power... didn't we all learn Language Arts?

The Sound test doesn't help either, it just proves that you can hear it either way. However, the Dojo (the official source on the matter) says that he says "now" though that could just be what Sakurai himself hears. This will '''NEVER''' be truly settled, so I suggest we don't just bicker over what ''we'' hear. Instead, we should discuss whether we should trust official sources or not.

::::::This is truly a magnificent case of differing perception. Since "Now" is said in the Dojo!! (in quotation marks, at least), it can stay (I won't make any change), but Sonic saying "Here" should definitely be mentioned. I honestly don't know how anyone could hear "Now", but that's probably because I've perceived "Here" for so long, just as you all have heard "Now". <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">Blue Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font><sup>([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]])</sup> 16:19, 15 July 2011 (EDT)

==This is probably not the ideal time and place to put this, but...==

I've been looking through Brawl's data and actually managed to find the sound clip where he says whatever the fuck he says in his Final Smash. And guess what? There is no echo! Should I upload it to the site, and then you all can decide whether he says "now" or "here"?  --[[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 19:02, 21 May 2014 (EDT)
:Go ahead. Although the discussion ended, the debate isn't really settled. Therefore this information would be useful in clearing things up since Sonic says "here" while the caption on his Final Smash from the DOJO!! says "now." <font face="LuzSans-Book" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 20:03, 21 May 2014 (EDT)

== Here or Now...Both? ==

I definitely hear "Here" in [http://youtu.be/BZgoRAIUVJc?t=52s this video], but "Now" in [http://youtu.be/Z9_eO0wjCkE?t=58s this one]. Is it possible that the line actually varies based on the version of the game?

:That's what it seems like. I know the first link is to a video of the NTSC version since that's also what I hear and I bought the North American version, but the second video has to be of the PAL version, since the only other version is Japanese (and that one uses a Japanese voice actor for Sonic). <font face="X-Files">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 23:35, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
::Or they didn't record two versions of the same line with one word only being changed, and that the echo in-game is playing tricks to some people's minds. In the direct audio with no echo, a distinctive "n" can be heard. But this is and old and tired discussion.

::<small>(Edit conflict) </small>I would also like to note that Jason Griffith [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0928380/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast apparently voices Sonic in both the North American and PAL releases of the game]; note the presence of a Japanese voice actor (Junichi Kanemaru). As it is rare for the same voice actor to create clips for two different regions, it can be safely concluded that the voice samples are the same, and that Sonic says "Now I'll show you!" in both North America and Europe.

:::So, listening to the second video once more, I think it actually is "now I'll show you," it's just Sonic's grunt right before saying it combined with the echo makes it sound like "here." Damn. Sorry for pressing this shit for so long. <s>So is this still to be classified as "controversial"? It can simply be mentioned in the article's trivia section that the aforementioned interruptions make it seem like Sonic says "Here", and that the raw voice clip (which doesn't include the echo, which I think had to have been ripped from the game directly instead of from the sound test) in SalaCommander's second link is hard proof that "now" is actually what he says.</s> <font face="X-Files">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 19:26, 22 September 2014 (EDT)

== Uh... ==

"Also, instead of saying "Now I'll show you!", he now says "Super Sonic style!" upon activating the Final Smash. Instead in the Japanese version, he says "{{ja|キメてやる!|Misete yaru!}}" (''I'll show you!'') for the former game, while in ''Smash 4'' he says "{{ja|決めってある!|Kimette aru!}}" (''It's been decided!'')."

How can this be the case if Sonic reuses his Japanese clips from ''Brawl''? I think they're the same clip, just being mistaken for different things.

Actually, Sonic says "{{ja|決めってある!|Kimette aru!}}" (''It's been decided!'').", and if you don't believe me, here's a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgfOGPHnQLk link] with all his Japanese voice clips from SSB4, which (as you know) are recycled from ''Brawl''. So, that means "{{ja|決めってある!|Kimette aru!}}" (''It's been decided!'')." was what he said in Brawl and in SSB4, and not "{{ja|キメてやる!|Misete yaru!}}" (''I'll show you!'').
