In this corner, we have the one, the only, the talking, taunting head of DOCTORRRRRRRRRRR KAWASHIIIIIIIIIIMA! And in the blue corner, it's the reigning heavyweight champion of the world ... your complete inability to speak your own native language! READY? FIGHT!
Which one presents more of a challenge -- the mocking Dr. Kawashima, or those tricky phonetics?

I have now completely removed the word "blue" from my spoken vocabulary because of that game.

Blue. I mean is it really that hard? Did a two year old helper monkey do the phonetics for this game or something?

English isn't my native language. That doesn't make it any easier.

In the Dutch version, red ("rood" - pronounced similarly to road) is the bad guy. :(

I had no problems with it recognizing "blue" so long as I pronounced it with a Japanese accent.

My evil enemy is the number 5, which it always thinks is a damn 9.

Wilerson, you're excused then, since English isn't your native language. :) I never had any trouble with "blue," so maybe I say it weird thanks to living in the South. My issue was always scribbling just a little too fast and Brain Age thinking I was writing something completely unlike what I was -actually- writing... and then I'd want to throw my DS.
I think Brain Age is the reason for all those hinge cracks.

I think that the fact of English being my second language excuses me only on Syllable Count. I'm NEVER gonna understand your syllable separation logic. :¬)

Everyone in our family has tried the Brain Age test many times, and it always gets stuck on Blue.
We often laugh so hard just trying different accents and seeing what it picks up.
Blue - nothing
*American Flight Attendant Female* Bluu - nothing
*Black Rapper* Blu - still nothing
*Chinese* Brue - yay it finally recognised!

Me and Kawashima are the tightest of homies. He recognizes anything I say or write. And I... turn a blind eye to his unholy human sacrifices.

Same problem with italian language... no wonder, blue (blu in italian) have the same sound! By the way, there are about 30% chance it recognize a male voice, while any girl I saw yelling "Blue! Bluuue! Bbbbblù!" was never been able to use it.

I found that if you say "blue" like a Japanese robot, it works every time.

I modified the way I say the word to get it to recognise. Same with trying different ways of writing numbers to speed math answers.
For anyone who used a Palm Pilot back in the old days, changing the way you write things for a single device is no biggy. I'm just glad I don't have to use the word blue a lot in real life. I could have really embarrassed myself if I worked for a skywatcher's group.
