Announcer: Male or Female?

[Khorsan]

Male/Female: If only one can be had, then male, purely to keep with tradition. Otherwise, having the other gender as an option would be nice.

DJ Professor K from Jet Set Radio:Even though I've never played the game, just from your quotes, SSJ4Kazuki, I want to see that as an optional announcer.

Chuck Norris: Bad annoying1359. Bad. No Chuck Norris for you.

Unlocking characters as announcers: That would take alot of voice acting... but it's amusing enough; when the characters speak, of course. Though Pikachu would be funny, if annoying after the first ten seconds...

General Greevious: Sweet. Probably wont happen, but sweet.

Other announcer voices: That would be sweet. Like what they did with the Risk PS2 game... imagine a Sean Connery announcer voice. That would be halarious.

Off-Topic :WTF's going on w/Chuck Norris
On-Topic :I say let the characters speak for themselfs

 

[Excel_Zero]

I've never played "sonic adveenture 2 battle" before. Does it star Egor or something...?

But, In Sonic Adventure 2 (Battle), yes, you could customise the voice options with all of the characters. That may happen in Brawl, although it seems unlikely that Pichu or Yoshi will become the announcer any time soon.

Yeah nice idea. you could set the voice to default men, default women and choose from every other characters voice. Yeah but don't expect pikachu, kirby or link to talk cause they never do.

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

characters announcing their own names = win. ^____^

Characters making their voces in battle wouldnt be enough?

 

[MARIOWNAGE]

We need a Pikachu announcer, that way all we ever hear is different sequences of pi, ka and chu.

edit: If Nintendo hires the Perfect Dark Zero announcer I will not buy this game. :|

i've never heard that anouncer or played the game can you fill me in on what i've missed?

(the game being perfect dark zero

also i think a robot anouncer would be really cool or like the steven hawkings thing where it's all mono. like in the song satisfaction by benny benassi or however you spell it

 

[Khorsan]

Character announcers: Remember, although completely mute characters such as Link certainly can't make the announcer position, Pikachu can still spout it's name intelligibly, yoshi can make random yoshiesque sounds, and so on. I can see some characters (like the afore mentioned) as bonuses, and maybe a few others like Snake, but beyond the base male and maybe extra female, that'll probably be it.

Off topic with Chuck Norris: I assure you, you don't want to know.

 

[UnholySauce]

The announcer should totally be Homestar Runner. I can hear it now: "Classic. Adventure. ALL-STAAAAAR! Options?"

 

[MARIOWNAGE]

lol or like SB he'd be like "WHAT THE CRAP!" instead of the crowd cheering and stuff on recoveries

 

[magar]

Personally, I thought the one on SSBM was cool.

 

[MARIOWNAGE]

that's for sure, but changes can be good too, yeah know?

 

[Paranoid_Android]

Male, unless they have a funny sort of slider thing that changes it - like you could make it really high pitched or really baritone.

 

[Khorsan]

"he'd be like "WHAT THE CRAP!" ": While a more "animated" voice would be interesting, don't hold your breath on the "WHAT THE CRAP" business. The fact that this game (as of its newest edition) is rated Teen is generally moot; the game still is trying to be appealing to a younger audience. In short, don't expect anything that could be seen as offencive.

Paranoid_Android 's Idea: Slider = nice.

 

[Magik0722]

I would want a tender womans voice instead of this crazy guy yelling

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

I would want a tender womans voice instead of this crazy guy yelling

Yeah
Its going to be a perfume annuncing voice
And for a smashing game

Think about it

 

[HyperTheHedgehog]

Good idea, but what about kirby, and the other ones who never talk? They'd need voice actors then. Have bowser, donkey kong, and kirby even had voice actors that actually speak? what does pit sound like? etc.

Well, Bowser talks in Super Mario Sunshine and Dk had a voice is the old DK cartoon...

 

[Iron_Chef_Sakai]

Question. Would you rather have the new announcer for Brawl be a male or a female? Or how about both? I think it would be neat to have the choice in the options menu to choose whether or not you want a male or female voice to announce... practically and virtually everything in the game.

Personally, I wouldn't mind hearing a female for a change. But another thing that would be cool, is if the characters themselves would announce their own names after selecting them. Please express your opinions/and or ideas regarding... this matter.

i want this to be the announcer

woooot

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

That's Zero Suit Samus.

And who thinks Sakai's account won't last the night?

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

http://www.animaxis.com/images/products/131627.jpg

woooot

Oh heeeeeeeeeeeck no

I mean you are joking right?

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Zero Suit Samus is a playable character. Why should she be the
announcer? Why can't Wario be the announcer?

I think the one we already have's fine.

 

[Baron_54]

LINK! PIT! METAKNIGHT! ZERO SUIT SAMUS! READY? GO! AAAAND WE'RE OFF!!! ZERO SUIT SAMUS GRABS PIT WHILE METAKNIGHT AND LINK DUEL ON THE SIDE! WHOAH! NICE SPIN! NO NEED TO WORRY, METAKNIGHT'S GOT IT COVERED! MEANWHILE, PIT'S FEATHERING SAMUS LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW! WAIT! IS THAT A SMASHER EMBLEM? HOLY ****!! EVERYONE RUNS AT IT!! OH WAIT LINK'S GOT IT!! RUN AWAY OH GOD NO METAKNIGHT NOOOOOOO!!! THE BLOOD!! PLAYER 2 DE-FEA-TED!!

One can only dream...

 

[Inferno_blaze]

The current one fits in it well. also if you want commentary to that surely people at tournaments could do it, if they didn't I'd happily fill in for them, I don't mind doing commentaries :D

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

Perfect, announcer we have
Change, we should not
As options, all the ideas should be

Yoda for ssbb
jejejejejeje

 

[Inferno_blaze]

agreed with the above, I am.
Speek like yoda, you should not.

 

[Baron_54]

Problem is, for commentaries the same guy would have to record over 1000 phrases. Oh, and Yoda? how can he mess up one word sentences?

 

[Inferno_blaze]

put the syllables in the wrong place or just extend some bits, ie GO! becomes Go, you must. Ready... becomes Be prepared, you should. and for syllables you could do like g-ame, the this games winner is bits would be funny though, a winner, bowser is

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

OK fine
But how about for smashing it could be all right
I mean they have Snake , What is he going to use, Guns comme onn
Yoda with his awsome figthing style

Edit:
I think this is getting out of topic

 

[Baron_54]

Oh Yoda as a character? I see. I thought you proposed him as an announcer.

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

, the this games winner is bits would be funny though, a winner, bowser is

This would sound really funny though

 

[Inferno_blaze]

be a bit easy wouldn't it? *fox runs at yoda, short hops and tries to dair into waveshine combo. Yoda predicts it all, lifts fox off his feet with the force before repeatedly smashing his face into the floor whilst screeching "NO WAVESHINE FOR YOU!" before flinging him off the edge of the stage.*

Who cares if were a little off track, it's not like many people post stuff at this time anyway :D

Game designers would have to work that out
in the movies he did those "telekenetics" moves on emergencies
He can do it as a special

 

[Inferno_blaze]

s'pose so, anyway I am going to bed, have more ******** convos with you later!

 

[Ky Kiske]

This whole talk about anouncers reminds me of all the possibilities where it could go wrong. Such as Marvel vs Capcom's "Let's go crazy!" or even Street Figher Alpha 3's announcer. OMG

 

[Khorsan]

Yeah
Its going to be a perfume annuncing voice
And for a smashing game

Think about it

Were we not talking about Smash Bros, I'd be inclined to claim you were on some sort of strange hallucinogen. I'm fairly certain that a female announcer in fighting games is not a new concept; how do you think the idea for this thread came to be?

Perfect, announcer we have
Change, we should not
As options, all the ideas should be

Yoda for ssbb
jejejejejeje

Exactly. 'Cept the Yoda part just confuses me. Lets not and let anyone who wants him to just fantasize it instead.

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

Yeah i guess you are right
lets leave it a male
(announcer)

 

[Odendaalrust]

It is an interesting topic, and it would be nice to have the option to choose but female voices are usually used for games that require the hero to take directions ffrom female voices because males respond better to female voices guiding them rather than a male voice barking at them in intense situations. Reason: most gamers are guys. examples: Timesplitters3, Halo series.

It sucks when you have to hear "Warning, death is imminent" constantly being barked from the male voice in your mech suit or whatever. The female voice makes it sound more like a suggestion, or a guideline rather than a cold fact you are already aware of.

overall, I think it would be cool to have a choice between which announcer voice there was.

 

[Inferno_blaze]

Yes but would you really want a suggestive voice? "Well you could fight.... I guess, if you wanted to" Doesn't really work. Plus you're not completely right about that responding thing, why do yo uthink in the army the leaders are alwasy really harsh? Because the en have to respond immediately and know what they're doing. I prefer the anouncer as it is. It's not like they're maent to be guiding you through anything in this game anyway.

Woops didn't realise you meant that a female voice WOULDN'T suit this game, I get what you're saying, just need to read better.

 

[SilverLight]

How about a half-naked girl holding up the scores...¬_¬

Stick with the current announcer, I like his style.


Or the Mortal Kombat guy.
"Flawless victory."

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

TT_TT All these ideas are lame. Current announcer ftw, they kept him from SSB64 to Melee,
but ALL the voice acting in Melee was of better quality. Specially Marth. His voice is awesome.

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

Or the Mortal Kombat guy.
"Flawless victory."

Thts what im talking about
But during the battle

 

[Khorsan]

Exactly; I'd rather have some amusing in game comments then crowds all the time... but they'd have to come up with alot of random sayings, or it might get boring and annoying very, very quickly.
