New Lúcio

Portuguese voice lines in the PTR

Honestly, looks nice to me. Jonny Cruz doesn’t speak portuguese, and our language is one of most difficult languages of the world. He showed an interest in learning portuguese to, at least, give Lucio new lines in portuguese, and for me, it was really cool. I know that Blizzard had the option to put the Daniel Muller’s lines (the Brazilian voice actor of Lúcio), but I think giving Jonny the chance to dub Lúcio in Portuguese is an important step. I hope Jonny keep working on his portuguese and, maybe in future, dub again and improve the lines.

And people, PLEASE, don’t compare Jonny Cruz and Carolina Ravassa because she speaks portuguese. Carolina is colombian, she speaks spanish, she lived in Brazil and it’s easier for a spanish speaker to learn to speak portuguese than a english speaker because both portuguese and spanish are latin languages.

Obrigada.

His prononciation is much much better than I would have expected. The only ones I can notice he doesn’t speak portuguese are “obrigado” (”thank you”, in which he rolls his tongue a bit too much in the “bri” part, not in the video above) and “fala tu” (”speak yo”, one of the hellos, in which he puts the strength of it in “la” when it should have been in “tu”). Everything else he says perfectly (I’m AMAZED at the ulti. That is NOT an easy line to say. At all.)
He even has a Rio accent for some of those, they sound really really good and in-character. “Valeu” (”thanks”, not in the video above) sounds exactly like what I would expect from someone from Rio!

Thanks Jonny, we love you too!
