Marth's Voice

IMO I think they will keep the Japanese voice...but who knows maybe they will have Marth speak english. I would have to listen to a voice clip because if they make Marth speak english they better do it right.

But the Japanese voice is kick ***, why does it need to be changed? As I recall, the localization team kept it in Japanese for two reasons: 1) No English voice actor (obvious) and 2) They wanted to keep the voice because it was badass or because it fit him really well. (This was admitted awhile ago, like, couple years back). I don't see them changing it really because there's no English voice actor for Marth until the Fire Emblem remake of his game hits the US on the DS (which probably won't happen for awhile or may not happen at all).
Personally, it doesn't need to be changed, I've already grown accustomed to his Japanese voice. And an English voice would just disgrace Marth if it wasn't done right.

Please don't change his voice. And I hope that Ike can keep his Japanese voice, too.

The character is Japanese only... isn't that essentially why he keeps a Japanese voice...?
Unless you really want Shinji from EVA to do his voice again...

You seem to be forgetting that Marth is the least badass character in the game. Have you seen his Dojo profile? It looks like he took freakin' estrogen pills.
Anyways, if they give him an English voice, it should suit him. Maybe find a metrosexual voice actor. Otherwise, keep his Japanese voice.
I'm being serious, btw.

Ike has a different voice in the English version.
His Japanese voice is horrid....
About Marth, well they better have a voice that is close to his Japanese one.

ike is in an american game and speaks in english in the american titles. i'm sure they'll do english for ike but maybe not marth.

I wish Zenigame kept his Jpn voice
Hell no, nothing beats: "Squirtle!!!! Squirtle, Squirt Squirt Squirtle!"
And Ivysaur is also cool in english.
BTW Ike's english VA is pretty cool, watch some of the E4all vids, its prety deep, same with MEta Knights.
They'll give Marth an English voice definitely, just like they did with Pit and Metaknight, but better be a good one and not a shame like Ike's, which is average, shallow and mediocre. Ike's Japanese voice clips and taunts are the epythome of badassery.
Really? I find his Japanese voice to be very dissapointing so far.

Actually on that note, most might not be aware but Marth's voice actor is a highly respected veteran actor in JPN. Does voice overs for alot of big high profile games and shows. So it might also be just a sign of respect to keep it in.
Technically Marth does have an english voice and a little known one however, they just chose to never use it.

Marth is a Japan only character, it's part of his character pretty much to speak Japanese. Ike got an English voice because he's in a game that was localized in America. Once Fire Emblem DS comes out over here, Marth might be given an American voice (In future instalments of Smash or Fire Emblem) but until then they really have no reason to...(And oh God they'd make it horrid...like Jason Griffith...no offence to him...but Ryan Drummond was obviously waaaay better...opinion of course...)
It's absolutely badass and suits Ike like a glove.
Just combine his voice with the hit sounds of being hit by a train and you have a character which is awesome to play as. And the victory quotes are also awesome. Japanese Ike is awesome. It makes you crap your pants.
English one is just bland, amateurish. His voice and the awful translation of the video sequences ruined his acting in Radiant Dawn for me. Ike must sound cool, awe-inspiring, self-confident, but also sincere. The Western one it's just an average joe who told him to say some lines in front of a mic, it lacks interpretation... "it lacks inspiration" lol.
It's a shame how RD and PoR in Japan are voiced by renowned actors even if the game doesn't reach 15 minutes of video, while the English cast is just made of second rate actors and amateurs.

I dunno about you Japanophiles but I think Ike's English VA will be less bothersome than his Japanese.
Seriously, that "SEEEAYAH!!" every time he performed Aether can get to you...really(Obviously learned it from OoT Link).
His english VA has him go "RRRAAAAAHH!!" as if he's seriously pissed. Both sound bothersome anyway.
The only voice line I've liked in Japanese Ike is when he's doing Great Aether.
Marth having a English VA is slim. I remember reading a similar topic on BC and someone compared Marth to an ancient Templar Knight.
....Hrm.

ITT weeaboos who think that if they can't understand it, it's better. Ike's Japanese voice was really, really cheesy.

I'm not too fussed with Ike. I'm not a big fan of either voices or the character in general he doesn't have a memorable voice. In JP hes average hotblooded joe and in English version hes generic fantasy hero.
Though I like the effect used on his Final Smash quote.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Marth does have another game coming up which will presumably be released internationally, Fire Emblem DS, so the whole "Japan-only character" thing doesn't necessarily apply anymore (of course I'm not expecting voice acting in FE:DS, but that doesn't mean they won't get one for Brawl). Plus the Fire Emblem games are set in worlds based on medieval Europe, not Japan, so a European language like English is probably better suited to them than Japanese.
I suspect it will rest on whether they'd rather maintain the perception of him as a foreign character or not. Or on whether they decide to take the easy way out and just not bother because he had a Japanese voice in Melee and thus no one will be bothered if he has one in Brawl too.

They better not change his voice. The Japanese just sounds bad ***. I'd really like it if they kept Ike's voice as well.

I would love to understand what he always says....
but please give him a man´s voice ffs!! One worthy of a warrior prince!

You're talking about the anime nobody really knows about?
Anyway, I don't really mind what they do with Marth's voice. Keeping it the same as it was before is fine by me.

Sans the pokemon, EVERYONE in Melee kept their Japanese voice--They just cut out the Japanese phrases for characters (Fox, Falco, Mewtwo, etc). Considering that they're dubbing Pit and Ike's voice, it would just feel downright sloppy to leave Marth
in Japanese.
Besides, he has a new game coming out, and considering the series's rising popularity over here, there's no way they'd skip a chance to localize it.

to me at least, Marth speaking Japanese is extremely fitting. I would not be the least bit offed if he was the only character who kept his Japanese voice acting.
An English voice actor would seem... odd. It's like, between the announcement of Brawl and Melee Marth learns to speak perfectly fluent English. =p lol

Just like Meta Knight? or Pit...Or.....whatever.
i wish Marth didnt look like a female girly man anymore....i mean they could have at least ditched the tieara. seriously....he was one of my mains but i tend to get chased when i use him because everybody thinks he is a gay character. "WHY DID YOU PICK THE WOMAN?!?!!?!!"
oh well, guess i'll have to continue to pwn them with Marth's femaleness

Not really, because neither of them appeared in Melee with a Japanese voice actor. =p
Marth doesn't even have an English game yet. *laugh* Unless his DS remake is already out and I missed it.

Does anyone even know what his dub voiced even sounded like?

That isn't what I said. Path of Radiance dub doesn't have a lot to do with a whole Enlgihs overhaul.

Dudes..Marth is Heero Yui from Gundam Wing.
It don't get more bad *** then that.

Some characters are more suited to American voice actors, namely Meta Knight and Ike.. Marth is a typical anime character, he looks girly, he's graceful and 'cool'. An American voice ontop of that could ruin it potentially.
Well.. maybe the guy who voiced Raiden from MGS2.
I like Meta Knight's english voice, Marth I'm hoping keeps his JPN one.

Now THAT would be hard core. Actually Brad Swaile (Quatre Winner/Amuro Ray) would be the most appropriate for Marth in my humble opinion.
The voice I am the most concerned about is King Dedede's. Though they gave Meta Knight the coolest and most fitting voice possible, I'm concerned that King "Colonel Sanders" Dedede might be returning from "Right Back At Ya!" Oh well, if he does, he'll take Diddy's spot as most annoying character.

Seeing as they've gone to the trouble of giving Samus a spoken voice when she could have remained a fairly silent character very easily, I imagine they will give Marth an English voice this time round.
