If you are alluding to the Snake scenario; there are a couple of things that a person can do: One, they could always dodge/ignore the question and give a response that does not necessarily pertain to the question. Or two, they could comment on the notion that they are not allowed to speak in regards to the situation as they are obligated to remain silent and they cannot assert anything definitve one way or another.

Lying about something is actually a violation of a NDA in most instances, believe it or not.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but Kojima's response to Snake was "I don't know," while Chrom's voice actor's response to Chrom was "no," is that right?

If lying violates a NDA, then Kojima would not have violated anything, while Chrom's voice actor would have.

Precisely, which makes Snake infinitely more likely based on these similar responses as Kojima did not violate a NDA, his response was fairly ambiguous and nothing absolute was stated.

Saying that he doesn't know would be a lie, wouldn't it?

For me, it's Chrom or Robin. I think they each have their chances and I'm taking that comment with a grain of salt.

As am I, I am not 100% certain that he is being truthful, but at the same time, he has an incentive to be truthful, more so than the usual participants that violate non-disclosure agreements. His credibility is at stake.

Voice actors are like trademarks for the name of a video game: It may lead to something new and unexpected, or it can just be a dead end. It's certainly not something you want to go all 1000% hype mode on, as you can often just be left in the dark. I doubt many people would take Frederick seriously as a contender for smash 4, even if his voice actor claimed to have been contacted.

Damn, stop getting my hopes up that Chrom may not be in.

Is it possible that Chrom could have a different VA? Or maybe they would re-use clips from Awakening?

I doubt it. Especially since Pit's VA did some voice acting for Smash, which came out around the same time. No reason for them to not use his original VA.

It would be fallacious to assert that those are not possibilities.
I mean sure it's not impossible. But I think there is a greater chance of him not being in, that switching VAs. Especially characters with catch phrases or battle cries.

Look at Ike, he's had the same one for three games.

Hmm, it's true that they could use lines from Awakening, but I hope for that to not happen. I guess it depends on the lines he would say. I'd prefer if Chrom would get a few new lines (like for taunts or victory animations or FS), thus having a VA (hopefully the same VA).

Hmm, this is getting interesting. I can't wait for E3 now (hopefully a FE newcomer will be revealed).

With the possible caveat that Chrom's VA might not have signed on to voice Chrom at that point, meaning he wasn't lying and violating an NDA at the time.

But by April wouldn't he have signed on? I mean the game comes out a season afterwards.
When did he say no? My source says his quote was from late July of 2013, which presumably wouldn't have been too late to get vocals done for the character...or maybe too late, I'm not really sure when they'd get newcomer vocals done, since those can't just be ported over from previous games.

idk. I still don't think we can glean any useful information from this.

And the only difference between Kojima and Mercer's statements, to me anyways, is that we know Kojima is lying.

According to this article: http://guardianlv.com/2014/04/interview-with-matthew-mercer-sakura-con-easter-weekend/

He still hadn't been contacted. It was written in April of this year.

Useful information: Mercer is not Chrom's voice-actor in Smash Brothers unless he is lying. I feel as though that is ever so slightly relevant to Chrom's chances.

It seems that many people's judgements on this matter are a tad bit clouded by their glaring personal bias.
I personally find it more logical for someone to say "I don't know" then it is to say "no"

Most of the time I think people say "I don't know" or "I can't say anything on that" rather than a flat out "no" when talking about stuff like this.

Hmmm, some possibilities...

--He's telling the truth, and Chrom isn't in any sort of role demanding a VA
--He's telling the truth, and Chrom is being voiced by someone else
--He's lying and is voicing Chrom in some sort of role demanding a VA

Off the top of my head, not comprehensive.

True. But it still seems a bit enigmatic to me though. Why did he just say no...instead of saying "i don't know"?
