INTRODUCTION
After spending more than a month playing SSX Tricky, I
realized that while I understand most of what JP is saying,
many players probably have no idea what comes from his mouth.
Plus, I had come across someone's guide on the original SSX
which included translations of what Kaori was saying, and
thought it was a good idea. Also, I had seen some posts on
the SSX Tricky message board on GameFAQs from various players
stating that they hated using (or refused to use) JP because
they could not understand what he was saying (this also often
held true for Kaori, the Japanese character). Therefore, I
decided to make use of my ability with the French language to
write this guide.
As the Internet is heavily dominated by English-speakers,
standard text-only documents are not designed to handle
accents. Therefore, to avoid a document full of strange
characters, accents have purposely not been used,
necessitating some knowledge on the part of the reader to
visualize the accents where they belong.
Translation is FAR from a precise science. For example,
consider the controversy over the U.S. Government's official
translation of the Osama Bin Laden videotape found in early
December 2001 in a home in Afghanistan (the videotape
advanced by the government as the ultimate proof of Bin
Laden's involvement in the terrorist attacks on the United
States on September 11, 2001) and the more specific
translations offered by CNN and other news organizations in
the days after the videotape's official release. There are
certainly many more potential translations which could be
made for each phrase beyond what I have provided here; the
translations given below are simply meant to give a general
meaning.
Finally, this is a work in progress. There are several
phrases spoken too quickly for me to comprehend with my non-
native ears. Given the randomness of the CPU's phrase
selection for JP, there are quite possibly a few phrases in
JP's 'arsenal' that I have yet to hear even once. JP also
uses a moderate amount of slang, an area of the French
language with which I have extremely little familiarity,
despite having twice lived and studied in both Paris, France,
and Mouscron, Belgium during the 1990s. Finally, those
translations and corrections indicated with one or more
asterisks are the work of others; see the Merci!!! section
(near the end of this guide) for further details.
