Hong Gildong(홍길동) is the name of a Korean hero persona(similar with Robin Hood I guess) of classic novel in 1612. He can use Chookjibup(축지법), which is Taoist magic that allows him fold roads and reach his destination much faster, like tracer can control her time to move fast.
Oh pls Andrew, don't stop making overwatch vids, srsly u my favorite overwatch youtuber. I know it's hard to come up with new content, but think about how u make us happy with your vids. Luv your job man, keep it up :)
Mr. Tonha but you can be honest overwatch is getting old and boring because there is practically nothing new except for heroes every 4 months and on February we didn’t get one
Zen - Zhuge Liang: 诸葛亮 Torb - Zhang Fei：张飞 Rein - Gaun Yu：关羽 Reaper - LU BU: 吕布 Hanzo - Huang Zhong：黄忠 All of these name is actually came from a book which name is 《三国演义》, this book talk about china history i guess, i forgot already, i read this book since i was 12, this books talk about war, Zhuge Liang is the smartest guy in the book that help LiuBei (刘备) which is Zhang Fei (张飞) and Gaun Yu (关羽) brothers by giving strategic and win all the war that these 3 brothers fight, 3 of them not actually real brothers, they just met each other and decide to become brother, i don't know is there an English version for this book, but highly recommend you guys to read.
The 'Hong gildong' is one of the most famous novel character during the Joseon dynasty (It is just a Korean version of Robin hood without bows and arrows)
Fun fact: the animal depicted on Hanzo's new skin is a *tiger,* which was the design for Genji's _Lunar New Year_ skin. Similarly to the Shimadas' default skins, Genji's goes to the extreme while Hanzo's remains subtle.
Is anyone here Chinese here a dying when Andrew tries to pronounce the names of ancient Chinese War history generals and main characters? Hanzo is pronounced H-Wang Zhong (not sure how to explain it) Reaper is pronounced Loo Boo (again it's hard explain) Reinhardt is Gu-wan Yu (easy) Torbjorn is Zh-ang Fay (I don't even...) Tracer is Hong Gildong (wtf I can't even... ) Zenyatta is Zhoo Ge (shortened vowel) Liang (I can only pronounce this in Cantonese so I won't be of much help for this in Mandarine ) I am Chinese and I had to ask my mum for like half of these. Loved the video!
TNT-Nitrogen zh is pronounced like the g in george. And the a in -ang is more like ah. Yu and ü is like when you pronounce “E” and “oo” at the same time
@@ChillMishka pretty much. But I'm not blaming Andrew for not being able to pronounce it. Just like I don't blame a Nigerian not being able to pronounce fluent French or a foreign language. Its just funny watching his attempts that even he is aware of. And due to the pin yin being for mandarin, I needed to ask my mum for a few of them not all, I knew some of them from history lessons of Chinese warfare (battle of the 3 kingdoms) and because I speak mainly Cantonese. I take it that you don't appreciate my attempt but thanks for letting me know.
The "zh" is pronounced like the "g" in genre or the "si" in fusion. edit : it's actually just like the "G" in George, upon further investigation, the tongue is placed a little higher when pronouncing this sound, distinguishing it from a normal "J".
hey Andrew, ever thought about the fact that Genji's little sword deals equal damage as the Mei punch? Not gonna lie, it doesn't look like Mei has been working out lately
These characters are in the movie "Red cliff" Depends on true history I think, Chinese famous general: Torb:張飛 Rein:關羽 Hanzo:黃忠 Reaper:呂布 Famous Counselor: zen:諸葛亮
And that’s game is based on The Three Kingdom ...which is damn fine Chinese historical-ish/ mysterious story. I have no ideas if you guys have it in the West. But it’s a glorious read since I was a kid and still awesome till today.
Hong Gil-Dong is a character from korean traditional fable. He stole money and food from the evil rich, and gave it back to the poor. He also used kinds of magic, like tracer's blink.
To those who are confused as to who these skins refer to, last year and the year before has the theme of Journey to the West（西游记), this year's is the Three Kingdoms （三国演义）
Not to be knit picky but I'm pretty sure the beast designs on everything is the beast Nian from old Chinese New Year stories. Nian is a beast that came in on the new moon of the new year and killed villagers. And old wise man then told the villagers the beast was scared of certain things (the color red, loud sounds, and many more I'm pretty sure I just can't remember right now) and so the villagers fought back with these things and that's also how the Chinese celebrate their New Year today to bring good luck. But yeah I went off topic but I'm pretty sure alot of those "dragon" design are the beast Nian. But anyway thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Apologies if some of this is a little incorrect as I learn the Chinese language I also learn about the culture and I thought I'd share :)
If anyone is wondering about the skins and their names, it’s from a game called dynasty warriors, check the characters and the skins should make some sense
