Also, give me Daft Punk ft. Pharell interview ASAP. I need it. Same Here with NICO NICO, MissingNo and HOBaRT since I Actually don't know how they will React to Things or what will come out of their "Mouths" when they Speak... HOBaRT, no idea, and MissingNo.'s speech style was shown in it's trailer, so it's more than likely implied to be speaking soely via text boxes and does not possess an actual voice beyond it's Pokemon cry, kind of like HyperCam from the first tournament who was also a character that only spoke via typing, as shown by the mispellings and usage of smileys in it's dialogue which would be obviously impossible if it was talking out loud. As for Nico Nico it's explictly said on the Mojo that it "speaks" using voice samples, and as if the title and in-video 'comments' of Nico's reveal trailer show, said samples and written text for the interviews will more than likely be entirely in Japanese, although I feel like Hepburn is more likely since it's more easy to type into Google and translate for those that don't know Japanese, much like with the Dancing Alien Team in the first tournament. For those that don't know what Hepburn romanization is, it's the usage of the Latin alphabet i.e. the one we are all familiar with used for European languages to write Japanese for either understandability or if the writer does not have access to a special Japanese keyboard which has both Hiragana and Rōmaji options, Hepburn romanization is also used by non-native speakers in order to learn Japanese. Actually quite a lot of you already know about it since it's actually heavily used in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and most Western viewers just consider it "Engrish" when it reality they're actually talking in Hepburn romanization out loud, since it uses the English versions of words, but uses Italian vowel sounds and spells said words phonetically with a "Japanese accent" thus leading to pretty much anything written in Hepburn to just sound like a JoJo character. ._.

To give an example using a source very popular in both the East and the West:

In English we know the Zelda Switch launch game as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but in Japanese it's ゼルダの伝説 ブレス オブ ザ ワイルド, which when Hepburn is used, turns into Zeruda no Densetsu: Buresu obu za Wairudo, combining together 'Engrish'-sounding words due to the accented phonetic spelling with Japanese words, as no Densetsu actually means Legend of, as seen in other games like Densetsu no Stafy (The Legend of Starfy) or Densetsu no Valkyrie (The Legend of Valkyrie) to give two examples cameoing in Smash Bros.

And there you go, you've learned a little bit about Japanese today, although personally I feel like that to be accurate to the site it's based on Nico Nico will more than likely just speak full on Japanese, which doesn't much help easy translation since you obviously can't copy-paste text in a video since it appears the interviews will be CCC-equse shorts via some of the images in King for Another Day's offical trailer in the recent not-Direct which I'm entirely fine with actually, just means we kind of have to wait for them to be posted and translated here onto the wiki though, meaning a lot of Nico Nico's jokes and actions or character's responses won't make sense to anyone who can't read Japanese, in a simliar fashion to DAT/PatA since Popoy and Marcinaito only speak Spanish which at the very least can be read in a video, then typed into Google Translate. :/

Gonna head off to bed now, have a good tomorrow y'all. 👍
