Too Drunk to Smash
It's been a while since I played Bayonetta1, but did she ever scream like this in game on hit? I just remember grunts, not screams...
I feel like SSB4's voice effects are all around iffy. Fox's constant "YEOW", Ness' "EYAH", female WFT's bizarre "EYOWW", and Bayo is sadly following suit, here.
It just feels wrong. Bayonetta is a badass, and a scream is like admitting that your opponent has just done serious harm to you, especially when the scream sounds like one of mortal terror.
I'd much rather she just grunted instead. A grunt is a better involuntary reaction because it doesn't acknowledge being hit as anything more of a minor inconvenience.
I wonder half the voice talents in the game have listened to some of the on-hit reactions and said, "THAT'S the take they went with?!"
