SSBB Thread: IT'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[Peanut]

UGH! I just looked them up as well. Fox and Wolf sound utterly HORRIFIC. Falco sounds pretty close to his Star Fox 64 version, but wow. Both Fox and Wolf really took a serious hit.

And you weren't kidding about Leon, TMB. That's a f*cking tragedy.

[Dr. Doom]

Are you sure you're not just saying that because it's not his exaggerated, snooty voice from 64 that everyone has grown to love? Certainly there aren't really any frills to the performance of Wolf's voice in Assault, but from what I heard, it sounded solid enough to me. Not like Sanji in the 4Kids dub of One Peice, where I think the character's gonna be kinda cool and then I hear his voice, which causes my brain to begin devouring itself because it's so awful and it's made impossible for me to like the character in any way. I think that's what I was worried about and after watchign a couple clips, my fears were alleviated completely.

I'm comparing it to how awesome his Star Fox 64 voice was, and compared to that, it's pretty bad. It sounds so stilted and generic in Assault.

If either of the voices were stilited, it was the 64 voice. But, like, delightfully so. I'll definitely acknowledge the contrast between the two, since the first had this whimsically over the top tone to it and with Assault it just seemed like they were trying to make everything and everyone a little more serious and grave. I suppose I can even see where "generic" comes from, and I won't go out of my way to argue against that. While the voice doesn't carry as much personailty as the one from 64 did, I'm perfectly ok with it, and am definitely willing to take "generic" over "goofy" or "stupid" or whatever. I'd still prefer to be hearing everyone in japanese, I think, but even if there is an option to change the voices, I dunno if I could stomach hearing someone other than David Hayter being Snake.

EDIT: I think I'll take another listen to the clips and try and form a second opinion on it, too.

[Peanut]

Hadn't you never even played a Star Fox game prior to buying Command for DS? I mean...I don't get why you care so much, for one, and I also don't get how you can really form any kind of opinion on this without actually have experience with the series.

Because he loves furries. Disgusting.

[Dr. Doom]

I think Rhen's just being bitchy right now because he's in heat and nobody wants to yiff with him.

I had some experience with Star Fox 64 many years ago when it first came out, enough to recall clearly what most of the voice cast sounded like (I can hear Falco, Peppy, Slippy, and Wolf clearly in my head, and I have a good general idea of how Fox and Andrew sounded as well). I always kinda liked Falco and Wolf from those experiences, and that whole thing really caught on further with Falco being in Melee and now with Wolf being in Brawl (and plus, I just love wolves). I don't have too much to go off, but when I started posting as Dr. Doom, I'd never read a comic with him in it in my life, and look where I am now with that whole thing. It's the same kinda situation. Also, I'm just generally very interested in voice acting, voice actors, and who plays who, so it's very common for me to dissect things like that, and it's very easy for me to go on and on about this or that when I'm bored and struggling to stay awake at work, whereas I may not dive quite as deep into certain subjects if I were at home. For example, I've edited this post like 10 different times now.

[Peanut]

Ah, well. I'm sure they'll be fine, honestly. As long as they get Wolf to say his "line" well for his victory pose. Honestly, how much voice-over work does their need to be? What did Fox or Falco ever really say in Melee?

[Dr. Doom]

It's true that if voices are present in the same limited capacity as they were in Melee, it may not really matter so much. That sorta stuff just really interests me, though.

[Peanut]

There's confirmed to be zero voice acting in SSE. The only exceptions are character specific phrases. "Falcoooon PAWNCH" and the like. So we're all good on that front, depending on how you look at 7 hours of nodding.

[Dr. Doom]

Well in that case, there's still a chance we may not get English VA's for certain characters (like Falco or Wolf) to begin with. IMDb can't be trusted until something has already been released.

[The Shelf]

Since I really have no way to contribute to the current conversation regarding voice-overs, I will simply say this.... Mr. Game & Watch is wicked!

[ThirdMarioBro]

I mostly want to hear Samus's new voice. Nobody else ever bothered to give her one, and I've got pretty specific demands for it. Heck, I was expecting her to come in and do the silent bit again, so it's really a total surprise.

I already know what everybody else sounds like, and I'm pretty okay with it, but that sound Pit makes while spinning his sword is likely the most annoying sound ever recorded. I also want Falco and Fox to get some English lines. Their old voices annoy the hell out of me.

Here's something for the people who want to see some final smashes used in practice.

Spoiler:

[Dr. Doom]

Generally, I think I prefer the direct attack ones to the transformation/power up ones. I feel like I'm gonna have to practice a bit with that Landmaster.

[Peanut]

I doubt it. Just keep rolling and you'll KO everyone on the stage.

I'd go gay for Luigi.

You'll have to fight me for him.

Am I alone in liking Luigi more than Mario? I mean...in the 20+ years the Mario Bros. have been around, Mario really hasn't changed, or had any character growth at all. But Luigi is so different, not only has he had full speaking roles in games like Paper Mario, but he's just so likable in every way. Luigi actually has character, something Mario really lacks.

I really hope Nintendo has plans to do something with him beyond continuing his "second fiddle" status. I'd even be excited for a sequel to Luigi's Mansion, but more than anything I want Luigi to star in his very own adventure/platforming game.

[Cure]

I agree, man. Luigi's the lovable underdog. I mean, why is Mario so famous for his jumping when Luigi clearly jumps higher?
