I think , just to make it fair, the announcer should be a he-she!! ahaha I'm kidding, but I really think they should announce their own names, if they can't ...then just make a sound..

Yes but the anouncer for other stuff like GO! and GAME! and wow incredible etc, they still need one for those, characters shouldn't announce their own names whe nyou put the toke on them , that'd kinda suck I'd rather they just make a noise or say something (not their name unless they normally do-pickachu)when they entrer the stage, not announce their own name.

I love the current Smash Bros announcer, but I wouldn't really care if it's a female voice instead if it's done right, but it's not a big deal even if they messed it up all I care about is the gameplay and Lyn. :p

I say that like in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the game cube(or Sonic Adventure 2 for DreamCast), you should be able to choose voices for the game. This way we could use coins to unlock more sound schemes.

Any thoughts?

Edit: Just a stupid idea, but I had to say something about it, so here goes. What if you could use your own .wav files to create your own custom sound scheme... Haha your voice saying things like "You Just got PWNED!!!", or "Congradulations" haha. I thought that was a dumb idea, but now that I wrote it, it seems like a good one.

Haha women and smash. ha, ha, ha.

But seriously, that's like asking if sports announcers should be female. The most annoying thing when I watch a football game is when they have the token female announcer who inevitably sucks. Cheerleaders are fine. Guys like looking at chicks, hence ZS samus. Mmmm rendered boobies. Where was I? Oh right, women and smash, hahaha.

i agree with you entirely Liveit

The Melee Announcer sounded like a vampire.

So, Brawl's voice announcer should sound like pirate.

ARRRRRRRRRRR this game's winner be...MARRRRRRRRRRRRio.

Maybe the movie announcer.:laugh:

Seriously though I think it should be a choosable announcer. You could pick from a female, the announcer from SSB64, or an announcer from another nintendo game. I cant think of any but Im sure theres at least one.

I honestly didn't like the Melee announcer too much. . . .

characters announcing their own names = win. ^____^
I love this idea!!! That would be sooo cool.

I actually have a pretty good audio example in my head about what Melee dude would sound like saying that. It's pretty good sounding.

I like the idea of having both Male and Female voice work. And I also like the idea of characters saying their names. One that sticks out in my mind is Link. I think it would be amazing to hear him say his name.

"Link..." (In totally cool yet eerie awesomeness voice)
I don't really want Link to say anything to be honest ...

--

I like the idea of a female announcer, but if I had to choose, I'd want the one who did Melee, 'cause he was perfect. A choice would be nice, too, though!

It would be hilarious to hear EA-style commentators in a Smash match. "And Falco with a solid hit. He scores again. Mario now over the edge." "I don't know about this one Bob, Mario could make it back. And he does!!! A brilliant edgemove by Mairo."

It'sa a me, MARIO! - Mario.

Ok, that works fine...but what about Link?...

"SCRAAAAAAH!"

Yeah. He's not hip with the whole word thing.

Captain Falcon?

"YES!" From his Up+b.

It's interesting...but I really like the classic announcer.
