Anyone besides me glad the characters don't speak in SSE?

[NintendoWarrior]

I am. They still manage to show emotions and it seems to suit all of them. What do you guys think?

 

[flyinfilipino]

Nobody at all? I haven't really seen any of SSE.

It's cool though, and exactly what Sakurai wanted.

 

[DeuceBlade]

I love VA in games, KH is a great example of it done right... but i wish they included it in brawl... although it would be odd Link attempting to talk lol.

Eh.. I think it still works.

 

[Chaosblade77]

Most Nintendo characters are silent protagonists, or like Mario and have a couple words/sounds for actions and that's it. Because of that, I don't think SSE could really represent the characters if they DID speak, or even have text.

Zero Suit Saums though... I find it really weird that she talks in her taunts. Talking doesn't suit her, but the voice is actually fitting.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Yes and no.

Yes because some of the characters would have been flat out annoying (ie; the Ice Climbers, Lucas, Sonic, and probably PT).

No because it could have added more character development for some people (ie; Marth, Samus, Snake, etc) and add more dimensions to the story's plot.

Yeah nobody. I've watched the entire SSE. It works quite well.

 

[Bendu]

Talking doesn't suit her.

Talking doesn't suit most women.

Lolol. See what I did there?

 

[Rampage]

I think it's pretty cool.

But the zelda series NEEDS voice acting now

 

[Damax]

Snake with no voice acting? sounds much less funny and interesting than I thought...

 

[Fatmanonice]

Lolol. See what I did there?

*watches in terror as Rosy O'Donald busts out of the wall and eats Bendu*

 

[flyinfilipino]

Even if there was voice acting, I don't think it would be very effective anyway, since most characters probably couldn't understand each other.

Pikachu: Pika pika!!
Marth: *Japanese*
Diddy: *monkey*
Bowser: RAWR
Yoshi: Yoshi!
Zamus: ...What?

Actually, Bowser and Diddy can speak in "human tongue." Regarding Marth, his voice could easily be translated for the various regions.

Oh yeah, forgot about Bowser (*thinks of Sunshine*).

But Marth the character...what's his native language?

 

[DraginHikari]

Fire Emblem mostly takes place in a European medivel style era so I suppose could be anything in that reigion... Japanese is probably the least likely one in full honsetly...

But more then anything I think the silence was necessary because finding a common converstation point with characters that have almost nothing in common would have been kinda strange...

Bowser: So...how's that bounty hunting coming along?
Samus: It's alright...I haven't actually been doing much of that lately. Kidnapped Peach lately?
Marth: Hey, look at me!

But I think that's what the beauty of it would have been though. All these different worlds being forced together and their various residents having to depend on each other to survive. Seriously, how awesome would it have been to have seen Marth and Metaknight exchange a few lines of dialouge before charging into the mob of Primids?

 

[Machete]

Well... Captain Falcon talks.

He says: "C'mon!".

 

[flyinfilipino]

Well... Captain Falcon talks.

Does he say that in SSE?

Fox should've said "C'mon" to Diddy the first time they met.

The only problem with that is when you try that with characters with no connection the dialogue would probably had not been the best and probably sound forced. As short as the most of the scenes are it would have been resort to a few common phrases that would have just sound corny or bad.

 

[Thino]

Somehow I knew they wouldve all been silent , at least playable chars

With that said, it only supports the arguement for a more complex story mode next time around.

 

[SomeRandomGuy]

Captain Falcon says Falcon Punch!!!!!!!!!!, also all the pikmin make noises when they die. thats all i can remember.

 

[reu_1303]

Yeah I actually really like it, I love the way it works in Zelda games and I'm sure that this works well in Brawl.

 

[captainfalconmute]

i dont really know anything about the SSE, but its good to know that they dont speak, just so i dont have to hear Sonic speak. Sonic should never, ever, EVER, speak.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

I forogt Falcon says C'mon and Falcon punch. But that's all the talking there is.

 

[maxieman]

I forogt Falcon says C'mon and Falcon punch. But that's all the talking there is.

falcon kick, show me your moves!, and HYAAAAAA

 

[Moon/Sun]

I was actually in favor of it. Sometimes games can have unecessary conversation of the same subject.
Plus Kirby wouldve been hell to my ears "HIIIIIII!!!!"

...*shudder*

 

[Norm]

It's actually one of my pet peeves that nintendo never does voices VA adds a great deal of character depth and the player can connect to the character more if they have an actual personality.

At the same time you have fans that view that adding too much personality to some characters can overall ruin them.

 

[Golem the Stern Father]

For some, it would seem weird to be silent throughout the entire SSE (Snake, even Mario), but it might be to weird for others to talk normally
(Link; Gyaaaaaaa!, Yoshi; Yoshi!!!, Kirby; Bayo Bayo! [think the tv series], Game & Watch; ??? [beeping?])
What they did voicewise was okay by me.

 

[SAMaine]

Actually, Snake has the only ACTUAL line in SSE that ISN'T related to moves.

What are you talking about?

 

[RedMage8BT]

I think the final boss should talk and that's it (DON'T TELL ME IF HE DOES OR ANY SPECIAL DETAILS/EXCEPTIONS)

 

[Spartan1841]

I'm happy the characters don't speak its perfect, if it had voices then people would probably bash it for that and it would probably get a lower score...

 

[brawlmaniac]

I've seen the whole SSE and it looks good the way it is. Talking could have made it better, but I'm not complaining.

 

[Hoboman725]

Im a little dissapointed theres no dialogue. I mean obviously link shouldn't talk... but some characters could, and the mario characters can talk through subtitles

 

[J18]

i think that if there were voices and voices actors, the forums would break with all the threads complaining about the voices

 

[RedMage8BT]

Exactly. Only the Final Boss should speak. And it should only be cryptic, nihilist messages (I'm not sure exactly what the final boss's role is)
