Announcer: Male or Female?

[-Bo-]

The characters should either say their names, or just make some sort of sound.(When you choose Ganondorf he does that evil laugh or when you choose Bowser, he growls.)


As for the announcer, I personally don't care if its a male or female, just as long as he/she has that "epic" sounding voice.

Have to say that I hope that Bill & Ben are the co-announcers.

It'd be awesome...

*Picks Pikachu*

Ben: Flobby
Bill: Og glob

*Picks Bowser*

Bill: Heni mo
Ben: Mey

*Picks Link*

Bill: Ogi
Ben: Blob

Am I the only one?

Anyway, I don't particularly care what gender the announcer is like as long as its easy to ignore and/or bareable.

Do all you people mean whne you put the token on them or when they enter the arena? SPECIFY people! I'd only want them to announce themselves whne they enter and then they don't have to say their name even if they can.

 

[Skywalker]

hey hey... yes...

= Clicky!

How can you stand Amy? Ugh, her voice is so annoying.

EDIT: You made a web page all about bashing my opinion. "You're famous when someone makes an owned page about you."

EDIT 2: I'll add that to my signature.

Actually, Link does say something. "Come on!" says Link in WindWaker when he's calling the little character dudes in the temples near the end of the game.

I forgot about that.

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.

After reading the title of this thread I was going to post the same thing about having it as an additional rule.

But about the characters annoucing them well....

Bowser, DK and Mr.G&W don't speak human lol.

 

[Ami]

I'd actually want them to announce their names when you put your token on them ... but I wouldn't really mind it either way.

krazyzyko, they don't have to speak English to announce themselves, do they? They can make sounds that people know.

nah people do it all the time

and I think that some of the non-speaker characters should be able to at least say something as simple as thier names. just very hard to understand, thats all.

 

[Skywalker]

EDIT: Oh, it was pre-generated. Doh! It'll still stay in my signature though.

To get back on topic, although this would never happen, I wouldn't mind Master Chief being the announcer.

He (Bowser) did in Super Mario Sunshine.

 

[Inferno_blaze]

but that voice was horrible and horribly recieved, I think they've gotten that seeng how he doesn't talk in any newer games (Mario Kart: DD, New super mario bros, etc)

 

[bijoukaiba]

Lol, Marth announcing names would be cute.

"Rinku!"
"Faruco!"
"Kabii!"
(above names spelled like katakana)

 

[AshumsTheMoose]

You're right. That would be very cute. ^^

 

[Scuba Man Sam]

I would record my own voice and make up stupid names for everybody.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Dokutaru Mario!
Chibi rinku!!
Mistaru- Game and watch!
PITo!
Caputann Farucon!

That would own

 

[Chickenboy666]

Well, I think an JumpSuperStars-like announcer option could be great (with voice, of course)

And I agree, the japanese announcers rule!

 

[Devl]

while i believe the announcer voice should remain male, why not have both and make an option to switch between them ingame?

 

[kill_shot]

I like i the idea of the character announceing his or her name! i took this from someone elses!

 

[Devl]

well yeah that is a pretty cool idea, but u know people will be pissed off at how a certain character says his/her name and will always whine about it lol, i think its best just to keep it neutral and classic

 

[Chickenboy666]

Not saying his or her name, only say a representative sound, for example:
Pikachu: Pika!
Mario: Yahoo! or something
Ganondorf: the evil laugh
etc

 

[Inferno_blaze]

That's what I've been saying for ages.

 

[xHeXx]

The Announancer should be A Beastly Man Again maybe me. ???? hmmm lol j/k but i like the old guy.

 

[Xx GuNz xX]

He'll probably stay male, because 64 and Melee were both male.

 

[cb_marth]

Does it matter?

 

[Thunderbolt]

The worst thing that can happen is that if there WAS a female announcer, IT BETTER NOT be as ANNOYING as that Super Smash Flash female announcer. My ears almost bled after I heard her say Sonic and junk.

I'd like to keep the announcer a guy.

 

[ciRius j0Qr]

Welll

He'll probably stay male, because 64 and Melee were both male.

thts ok but look at mario party i liked the female voice for all the the gemas
till they used th male voice for that i felt very uncomfortable.

 

[Speedsk8er]

You should have the option to make each character announce.


Mario- Itsa super smash brothers!
CF-*said in a Falcon punch-like manner*Super SMASH!
Peach- Smash Brothers! Sweet!
Link- Skyaaa! HYAAA! AAAAAH! NYAA!

 

[Red Exodus]

If there's options I don't care, if not keep the current announcer or get or get a similar one. When women announce stuff it sounds like a comercial.

 

[C@sH Mooney]

How about a Barry White announcer?

did u just say barry white?no..just..no.never again.

how about the mortal kombat guy.or wait.if they just keep it the same that is nice.yet idc about voices really.if anything something like the mortal kombat guy needs 2 be in it.

 

[Red Exodus]

I'd hate to see SSB use something from Mortal Kombat. ANYTHING. If there's one series I wou;d want removed from existance it's MK. MK devs, go die!

 

[C@sH Mooney]

i just meant it sounds cool thats all.but ur right MK sucks.=D

something with more...power,feeling..more.....AWSOMENESS!

 

[Speedsk8er]

did u just say barry white?no..just..no.never again..

Are you kidding? A Barry White sound-alike would be AWESOME. He may even get more chicks to play pro-level smash. LOL "Staying Power" should be a stage theme. "I've got the staying power. Just when you think it's over, I come right back again." until you edge hog me. LMAO

 

[HideousBeing]

Meh, I don't know if this has been brought up already, but wouldn't some characters sound a bit weird saying their own name? Link never talks- that should not be changed. Mewtwo is like the only Pokemon (in that game) whose vocabulary is comprised of bits of his own name- he only grunts (and laughs.) Donkey Kong never had a speaking voice, though he did have dialogue in some games (ie. DKC3, DK64) so DK speaking might sound weird. Ganandorf never has a speaking voice either, so he shouldn't say his name either. Unless he shouted out his attacks as he executed them like CF, (ie. GANON PUNCH!, GANON KICK!) saying anything for him would sound dumb. Kirby too- never says anything, just grunts and cries. Zelda- doesn't ever speak in a game. Same with Sheik. Ice Climbers? You gotta be kidding me. Samus? Depends if they still make her suit do all the talking. And G&W? Come on. Bowser would also sound rediculous with a voice- especially if its the one he used in Super Mario Sunshine.

 

[smasher_25]

it wouldn't be right for some characters to say their own names because like Hideous said, they don't talk... The annuncer should be male, because that is a classic thing of smash.

 

[Caael]

Does it matter?

If you're gonna use that logic, then do any of these topics matter?



I think there should be a male/female/off option. And instead of having the announcer shout their names when you choose somebody, the character say something, like other people have said.

 

[Red Exodus]

Characters saying their names wouldn't work. Too many conflicts would arise, they've all been listed so talking characters is an option that is pretty much illogcial.

 

[HideousBeing]

Maybe instead of male or female, you could have the crowd do it. (The crowd that cheers and starts chants when you're fighting.) That includes males and females.

 

[Meta77]

Nah female would be much better. (Like from Dead or Alive 4)

 

[Caael]

Characters saying their names wouldn't work. Too many conflicts would arise, they've all been listed so talking characters is an option that is pretty much illogcial.

Well not say their names, juts like make a noise. Mario would like say ' Yahoo' and Pikachu would go ' Pika' and link would go ' Hyaa' etc

 

[C@sH Mooney]

thats pretty good.i really like that.nice! =D


or just keep it the same guy just so id dont get so confusing lol.

 

[Red Exodus]

I guess characters making sounds would work. I'd pick Falcon over and over so he says something like 'YES!' or 'Falcon!!' or 'PAAAUUUNNCCCH!' over and over and annoy everyone within hearing range.
