The GameCube really is underrated.

I never understood where the E in the title comes from. Is that a decades old mistake, a meme or was there a mispronounced bootleg version somewhere?

I’ll always remember being 14 and going to get my pre-ordered copy of SC2. It came with a free t-shirt. They hand me this shirt which is just a giant picture of Ivy wearing basically nothing. The look on my mom’s face lol

Just a mistake I think. Americans are so steeped in gun culture that when they hear calibur, their brain goes immediately to gun calibers. Autocorrect also might play a role.

Haha yeah I also was thinking of autocorrect but SC is actually too old for that being the source.

Americans, maybe. OPs name does not sound American though. (Halbgott, German = Demigod)

It's just because caliber is a real word, but calibur isn't. It's been used for a long time in different media to name swords after King Arthur's sword Excalibur.
