English Voice?

[CornCross]

Just a quick question:

Does anyone know about Marth getting an English voice-over?

I know why they didn't do it in Melee, but Ike has an English one, so I don't see why not.

Just wondering if I missed that.

[rubiksfriend]

I really hope that he keeps his Japanese voice (like Pit). Japanese voice actors or seyus are much better than those in the US.

[SiShenDao]

I doubt and really hope im right. Ike has an english voice because his game was for the GC and already had a english voice actor. fox didn't really have an english voice actor as well, though they did overwrite his victory phrases (though they all became mission complete) and his taunt and that was it.

[Superninjabreadman]

I wouldent mind The *** voice for Marth, but.. for Pit.. I'd rather have an american one, I dunno. just seems right.


Its been said, Ike has an american Game, with Voice Actors, Marth dosent.

I agree with all.

[Pierce7d]

And I agree with Terwyi.

[tirkaro]

Ugh, I hope he doesn't have an english voice.

I usually don't mind english voices, but marth is just one of those characters that were NEVER meant to speak english. I don't know why. It just doesn't feel right at all.

[Demon_machinE]

It would seem right to me, honestly. To me Marth looks like a Templar Knight from Europe... so not an american accent, but maybe a British or even more awesomely a French accent. The Knights Templar originated in France, so it would make sense to me.

# 5 on that image.

Pretty similar outfit he's got going.

[sagemoon]

Whats a sarcasm?

[Glinth]

The FE anime had an english adaptation I believe, if so, they could
use marth's voice from that...

and if you don't like it, switch the language setting >>

[Irow]

I'd like to have an English dub this time around. I'm tired of hearing the same voice from Melee.

[Brawlmatt202]

There is a lot more talking in Brawl then in Melee, that's for sure...

Though I don't know if Marth will be getting an English voice actor. Seeing as the Fire Emblem DS game is being made to be released internationally, it might be possible.

[R.Y.N.O]

I would not mind if he had an English voice but I would like him to have a Japanese voice more. It just sounds.........cool, and natural.

I can't watch things unless they're in the original language...English voice-actors need to LEARN TO DUB seriously -_-

Same here. To me, American dubs sound completely unrealistic and phony. Also, I heard there is no lang. switch option. Could this be true?

[Sariku]

There isn't one in the Japanese Version of the game. PAL will most likely have one because some people talk English, Some French, and so on. America MIGHT get one, Japanese and... Spanish?

[Starry Might]

Just a quick question:

Does anyone know about Marth getting an English voice-over?
No, but this is a VERY good question!

I'm NOT an otaku, but I LOVED Marth's voice in "Melee" (Hikaru Midorikawa, you rock!), and judging from the "Brawl" videos I've seen, he sounds even better than ever! :grin:

I dunno if he'll keep it in other versions of "Brawl" this time around, though. :ohwell:

Maybe, maybe not.

I would love it if he did, though! (*SIGHS*) But, if not, I hope that Nintendo finds the right guy for the job.

I was hoping that his update today would shed some light on this, BTW, but it didn't. :embarrass

Ah, well, all we can do is wait and see. :)

[tmbjr]

Since he's getting an international DS game released, I don't see why not. >_>

I also like to say things just for the sake of annoying anime purists out there. :P

[Shaolin-Ninja]

An American Marth? Please NO! British or French, however, could work, but I'd rather have the Japanese one.

Or what about a Norwegian or Icelandic one? :p That'd be cool... XD

No, Nintendo should take the easy road - give him a Japanese voice.

[Sabrewulf238]

I actually liked the way marth sounded in melee, it was something different and made him seem like he really was just after coming from japan.

[Tajem]

Where were you when Starfox 64 came out? o.O

[SiShenDao]

Where were you when Starfox 64 came out? o.O

I was talking about a voice actor for melee, i know he has a voice actor for 64, adventure, and assault.

[-Katsuta]

I think everyone needs to acknowledge that while the character design comes from Japan, his character is not infact Japanese, it is infact European.

Him having a japanese voice instead of a translation would actually be INCORRECT to his character. So what it really boils down to choosing Japanese over a translation is not homage to the character, it's personal opinion.

'Nuff said.

[l Karasu l]

I could say the same for games like Dead or Alive or Tekken (?). Non-Japanese people speak Japanese.

but I still prefer Marth having a Japanese voice.

Plus, Marth is pretty broken as he is, so why not make his voice broken. (Japanese and not "European")

[smashbro29]

just so long as they don't **** it up like they did with sonic

[l Karasu l]

Eh, Sonic isn't THAT bad...

Peach annoys the heck outta me with her "Lalalalalala"

[smashbro29]

yes he's THAT bad and it pisses me off because they already had a great one **** YOU 4KIDS I HATE YOU!

[l Karasu l]

xD Oh If you mean 4KIDZ, then I get what you mean, lol.

Are you complaining of the English or Japanese voice? Or both?

[smashbro29]

english. japanese one rules like a japanese ryan

[l Karasu l]

Lol I was about to say, and yeah I was talking about the Japanese voice xD

[Senshuu]

I like original Japanese voice acting. I want a language switch option too, but all signs point to "no". :( I liked the Japanese-version cheers in Melee, too... (And Fox's Japanese voice = :D)

I trust they'll do English voices well, if they do.

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Everyone, I have important news! I went to Anime News Network this morning and read Spike Spencer's profile. In the non-anime role section, one can clearly read "Marth in Super Smash Bros. Brawl"! See for yourselves!!!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=906

[l Karasu l]

I saw that too, I was like... NOOOO!!!

Nintendo had better have a switch languages option.

Hmmmm...

I do know he voiced Marth in the English version of the anime (though I've never see it), so I'd guess he'd be the first choice for that character as an English voice.

That said...:

...there's a chance this could be bogus because that site sounds like a Wikipedia or Internet Movie Database-kinda dealie. Also, I looked around Spike's site, and though I didn't listen to any of his demos, the only thing Marth-related thing listed there is the "Fire Emblem" anime.

Anyhow, I think it's time for me to post something that I've observed in the "Enemies and Allies" video on the American and Japanese versions of the Dojo last week, but with the following very strong disclaimer:

THIS IS SIMPLY SOMETHING I OBSERVED. DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP TOO HIGH OR QUOTE ME ON IT IF I TURN OUT TO BE WRONG.

Okay...

Japanese Version: http://www.smashbros.com/jp/gamemode/modea/modea13.html

American Version: http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea13.html

When the video loads, move the bar on the timeline to the part where Marth and Meta Knight land after cutting a swath through the Primids that rose up behind them, and listen carefully to the sounds they make in the closeups of them moving their heads to look behind themselves.

Meta Knight's "Ulp!"-like sound is different in the American and Japanese versions of the video, but Marth's little gasp prior to that sounds EXACTLY THE SAME.

TAKE THAT FOR WHAT YOU WILL.

[UndrDog]

We've had fake info in actor's profiles before.

And plus, don't assume all American vox suck. There are many very good and devoted vox out there.

[Count Alphez]

i dont mind marth having a japanese voice.

ike had an english voice because of the english voiced fire emblem game. which is understandable

marth hasnt had an american game yet, and i think that the remake of marths fire emblem scheduled for the DS will of course lack the capacity for language.

i hope marth stays japanese, for historical reasons and tradition mostly
