What's the meaning of the (french pronunciation) "donc" sound Nakamura keeps making in this video?

edit: is it like a konnan boom

He says it almost constantly haha. It's subbed as "don" in the second video though it wasn't subbed in the first, then he pulls a Taguchi's Dodon card so he goes don dodon don, that same pronunciation.

Card looks soft because of that loving Gracies match, I think. Main event will be awesome, after that I really just wanna see Ishii vs. Honma. I don't even know who Nakanishi is. Young Bucks match will be good I'm sure. Is Shelley injured again? Fourth best match on the card is gonna be the comedy hardcore stuff between Yano/Iizuka vs. Suzuki-Gun with Taichi running around ringside.

Crowd was really hot for that finish, I took them dying afterwards to be genuine disappointment not apathy. Also didn't AJ do one of Devitt's signatures before the Clash? Puts Okada over big to eat that many finishers before losing. I like Yujiro so I was pretty into everything about it. Hope we get to see AJ take on everybody in the company because there are a ton of hot matchups.

Yo I didn't make a video but I did post a bunch of pics of the kinpuro cards I got on my twitter: http://www.twitter.com/epitasis

Now I just need yottsume to translate the online game instructions so I can wreck with my shiny Stan Hansen. :D

You're welcome to translate it for me!!! My Mutoh, Shibata, Anderson and Makabe Knee Drop are RRRs. :)

So I'm using this free CamDictionary app on the iPhone to translate the kinpuro app screenshot by screenshot and it's surprisingly effective. So far I've been able to register an account, at least.

Edit: I went with Nakamura as my starter pokemon.

I think I earned some voltage points.

Realized I'm a dumbass and the app is just a front-end for the website, though it was still useful for scanning all the QR codes on the cards. I think yottsume said the game plays itself and you're really just assembling a team? I think it works something like team tennis where you have your worst wrestlers match up against your opponent's worst wrestlers and so forth. I have no idea what the moves/boosts do and I thought they were more effective on certain wrestlers but I just pushed the "auto" button and assume it placed everything well.

My "standard" team:

Six-man match - Grade 1 (weakest) wrestlers only


Tag match - Grade 2 wrestlers


Singles match - Grade 3 wrestlers

(I'd like to see Anderson do that move)

Tag match - no idea what the grade thing on top says

Shibata is a 3 and Milano A.T. is a 4 though the Shibata card is RRR so maybe it's higher powered?

Main event singles - again no idea what the requirements are


So I selected practice match and picked an NPC opponent and nothing happened. Then I went back and realized it had already simulated the matches, I think, but I could replay them? And they actually simulate them out with the cards whacking into each other though Google Translating couldn't quite keep up:



The boosts in the corners were activated mid-match. The gold ones are based on like, combinations of cards maybe? Like I'm guessing the computer's team on the left selected three guys that were all G1 Climax winners and IWGP champ. The move boost cards also get activated there. My Stan Hansen/Fale/Makabe team also had "Ties of the New Japan" and "Lars Less Tough Guy"??? I think the NPC team was Kojima, Naito and... somebody I forget. But no boost cards.

Lemme know if this is of any interest to y'all but I'm enjoying fumbling my way through it.

Dominion card looks solid since Nakamura has already shown he can get a good match out of Fale. If anything, what's stale for me is the NWA tag title scene with TenCozy and KES.

At least the Gracies feud appears to be done. I agree that the crowd at Yokohama sounded pretty hot despite the gate. Honestly I think the company is overreacting to that show's performance perhaps because they actually think they booked a good card? The card was poo poo outside of Ishii/Ibushi and the Tana tag - I mean I was interested in the title match despite knowing the finish because I know Styles is an incredible worker but I wouldn't expect Japanese crowds to know that. I guess I'm also not as down on Fale as most of y'all.

Edit: Are Ricochet and Kenny Omega the only outsiders in the BOSJ (I guess TAKA, technically)? I wouldn't have minded getting introduced to some new guys instead of Tiger Mask who appears to be a jobber with a legacy gimmick and Taguchi. Even like Marufuji or something I dunno obviously I'm not expert.
