You know him as the announcer in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS - voice actor Xander Mobus joins us for an insightful half-hour chat! What was it like to record all of those lines for the latest Smash Bros. game? How difficult was it to properly pronounce "Duck Hunt"? Was Masahiro Sakurai in the recording studio for direction? What was the process like for recording the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza? Youko, Solharath, Eevee, and CyberLink420 leave no stone unturned in this discussion with the man behind the voice that Smash fans now know well!

[LIQUID12A]

Man, Xander's announcer voice is badass.

 

[warriorman222]

More reasons as to why Purin sucks.

 

[BladerDaBrawler]

This guy's the reason I started Voice Acting.

 

[Pazzo.]

Out of all four announcers, I have to say that Xander's is my favorite. The original, however, come very close to second.

 

[Omegascizor456]

Man, Xander's announcer voice is badass.

that is very true... and I would go as far as to say he is the best voice so far!!!!

 

[Zad]

Odd yet neat.

 

[TheLetsPlayGhost]

Xander has a great voice, and it really matched the feeling of the game. Good podcast.

 

[Jaedrik]

I can't believe this doesn't have more comments. It seems the masses are uneducated as to how coolio this Xander homie is.

 

[Deleted member]

is there like a written version of this? I reallly don't want to sit through a whole podcast.

It's just 30 minutes. Good stuff.

 

[Minuy600]

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

My top 4 announcers:
1.Xander Mobus (SSB4)
2.Pat Cashman (Brawl)
3.Jeff Manning (SSB)
Dean Harrington (Melee)

 

[BobEugCox]

Wow I didn't even realize it was 4 different people. The only complaint I have about the new guy, is when he announces certain names, he's not audible. (Jigglypuff comes to mind.)
I also can't stand how he says: "Bowser.................................................................................................................................................... Junior."

Buuuttt, that's not really his fault now is it.

I think Xander himself came up with how to say the names........

Greninja, Mega Man and Bowser Jr. are pretty good if you ask me, but Jiggs could've been named in a better, happier way rather than the Greninja rip-off it has right now

 

[Aguki90]

Xander voice is epic.

I can't believe he know about mewtwo reveal all this time.
One of the best lie I ever seen ever.

Keep up the Hype Xander. That voice is majestic.

 

[Newt Floss]

I can't believe he know about mewtwo reveal all this time.

It sounds like he only knew a week before the 50 facts video.
