Falco’s Accent

[Classic Yayo]

My friend is convinced it’s a Brooklyn accent, but being from Brooklyn I know it’s not. I think it’s a English accent, like Fox’s what do you guys think?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid thread but I really need to know what others think before I go crazy.

 

[KirbyandSonicrock14]

I like the way he talk,becasue he got soem really funny jokes.

 

[Classic Yayo]

yeah, but where do you think his accent is from?

 

[khoasgotrice]

its definitely a Muslim accent

definitely...

 

[PK-ow!]

Chicago?

Jersey?

I'll go ask my well-travelled American friend. . .

 

[0RLY]

Austrailian. He wants you to keep your hands off his prey.

i read somewhere its supposed to be brooklen, but idk sounds like outskirts of chicago.

 

[PhantomBrawler]

Well its an Italian-American accent. His name is in fact falco LOMBARDI!!!!!

 

[the melon!!!!!]

I saw from somewhere that it was a Boston accent, but I do thing it might be Chicago. Also, Falco's original last name was really RAMBALDI, but it was misinterpreted in the English version of the game as LOMBARDI, even in the guides, so they went with it. This little loophole makes it so that they can make it whatever the f*** they want it to be. So, ha!

i knew a topic like this was bound to pop up somewhere XD

Red-eyes Black Landmasta.

Red-eyes Black Landmasta.

A joke about how he sounds like Joey Wheeler, because Joey's best card was Red-eyes Black Dragon. Joey was from NY in the American version, Yayo.

Lombardi. Italian.

ALSO, denizens of smashboards, do you think he could be from England, which is Yayo's theory? I think that's ridiculous.

 

[wazgood]

sounds like joey

[Trapt497]

its northern, i say jersey or brooklen.

And his voice actor SUCKS.

'nuff said.

 

[Classic Yayo]

He's not from Brooklyn at all, but I believe Jersey. So I'm going with that one, I never met anyone from Chicago so I dunno about that one.

Yes I was wrong with English but whatever. It's not from Brooklyn and that was my point. BoCo

 

[PassWurD]

He does sound like Joey alot to me :>

 

[hippochinfat!!]

Gang infested North Hollywood accent.

 

[Da N]

You sure its not Brooklyn, it sure sounds a lot like it. Either that or Jersey, my aunt and uncle live there and I visit them sometimes. It sounds more like Brooklyn than Jersey though.

 

[Exovel]

Falco reminds me of Brooklyn from the old Gargoyles show, so that's always where I assumed he was from. I met some people over the summer from that area, and it sounded legitimate to me. Not perfect, but close. I don't think it's supposed to be Chicago at least. It doesn't have enough of a drawl to it. Us midwestern folk like to use a little drawl, even the ones in Chicago.

 

[PhantomBrawler]

why dont we look up who the voice actor is and then figure out his nationality. Or we could write said voice actor and just ask him what the accetn was SUPPOSED to be

 

[Heroes_Never_Die]

I don't think the voice actor is doing a bad job. He just sounds like a ***got is all.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Guys its a jersey accent, I mean rly, what bird would come from brooklyn

seroiusly though its jersey

 

[Starry Might]

Falco sounds like a New Yorker (or something like that) to me. (*SHRUGS*)

Also, Falco's original last name was really RAMBALDI, but it was misinterpreted in the English version of the game as LOMBARDI, even in the guides, so they went with it. This little loophole makes it so that they can make it whatever the f*** they want it to be. So, ha!

Really?

Wait a minute, though, I've read in "Nintendo Power" long ago that he was named after a guy named Carlo Lombardi, who does some sort of movie-related work. In fact, let me go get it...

Okay...

[GuiltyPleasure]

maybe they just ran with it

 

[Necro Dream]

its a friggin Boston accent I'm from brooklyn and noone i know talks like that. if it is brooklyn it's a italian accent but it sounds more of a boston type

 

[abit_rusty]

I agree..more a Boston accent.

 

[Starry Might]

Actually, I've been thinking about Falco talks this morning, and I've come to the conclusion that he sounds like a Mafia guy.

Falco: "SLEEP WITH THA FISHES, LINK!"

I found this fragment:

"He is named after both Falco, an Austrian musician and Carlo Lombardi, special effects artist in Hollywood."

But it's Wikipedia so it may be fake...

 

[GetSmashedWithTheBros]

Falco is definitely an Italian New Yorker (Falco Lombardi)

 

[phi1ny3]

Italian, italian.

 

[Ratherion]

Um... No. I'm italian, and I'm pretty sure his voice is so americanized that it just barely sounds like the real thing.

 

[phi1ny3]

Um... No. I'm italian, and I'm pretty sure his voice is so americanized that it just barely sounds like the real thing.

He's got a point. However, I don't suppose they name someone "Lombardi" for the sake of it, right (not saying he is Italian at this point)? However, overall, the accent is pretty much "Americanized".

 

[danimalsyogurt]

I live in brooklyn, in an italian neighborhood, and falco sounds like everyone who I know around here.

 

[J0RDY]

Im sorry Americans, But have you ever heard an accent out of the US? It's definately British, but more precise it's cockney

 

[Starry Might]

I found this fragment:

The Carlo Lombardi part is definitely correct.

*POINTS TO HER FIRST POST IN THIS TOPIC*

 

[King GeGeGe]

he is NOT english sorry, but just no

 

[J0RDY]

Have you heard or been to london? If you have you might have heard the cockney accent, Falcos is cockney in the game

 

[danimalsyogurt]

lol his accent is not cockney one of my friends from london has(had rather, it kinda faded) a cockney accent, and falco does not sound like that at all, + they tried to keep all the voices similar through all the starfox games and If you listen to them the only one thats british is krystal. Falco kinda had a tough guy street accent in star fox 64 and they've kinda just played up on that each time he's been in a game. He's not cockney lol

 

[Johnthegalactic]

He has a German accent.

Actually, the guy who voiced him in Adventures was Anglo-Burmese
