Takamaru should become our new Japanese-speaking blue-haired swordsman~

Also I hope Marth doesn't get his new design in Smash. Marth + Pants = PREPOSTEROUS! Though I guess alt costumes could fix that. Though it'd be even cooler if he got his VERY FIRST design instead. No pants at all! I'm sure Tryphen knows what I'm talking about.
Takamaru = New Marth? Works for me.

Owning a boxed version of the original game. Yes I do know what you're talking about and yes it does creep me out everytime I look at the manual. >___>



Notice anything? >___>

What about BOWSER'S voice? It sounds so... weird. It became much higher pitched than it was in Melee. It's also more... scratchy? I DUNNO. Didn't like it.

They also didn't give him his Mario 64 evil laugh as a taunt. For shame.


@Tryphen: Wow, his hair looks really stupid. And his shoulder pads are possibly papercrafts.

So at this point should it just go back to the way it was in Melee with both languages built in?
Yes. Have both English and Japanese voice options in the NTSC release, as well as Spanish (there are a lot of NTSC Spanish speaking folks) and maybe French.
Seeing as Marth can now offically speak english, it would be a good excuse to do so.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind Marth speaking, as long as his English voice is half as good as his Japanese voice. Nintendo just needs to find a high-quality English voice actor for Marth! :cool:

I agree. ~~~~*Insert Ancient Samurai Saying Here*~~~~
Also I hope Marth doesn't get his new design in Smash. Marth + Pants = PREPOSTEROUS! Though I guess alt costumes could fix that. Though it'd be even cooler if he got his VERY FIRST design instead. No pants at all! I'm sure Tryphen knows what I'm talking about.
I don't mind Marth having more formal pants as his main outfit, so long as all his Brawl outfits return.

But no pants Marth=??? Oasis, do you want to look up Marth's dress just like Peach=??? :cool: (I still can't believe Nintendo let that go in Melee and Brawl without undershorts)

@ Sonic and Mario Guy
It just sounds like Nintendo didn't try to get even remotely high-quality English voice actors. The Japanese voice acting was of the highest quality.

@ Kuma
I agree. The English voice actors either sounded off (Falco, Peach, and sometimes Sonic) or their voice actors sounded like they "got into their character" enough (Ike, Pit, Wolf, and Fox).

Although I like most of the sound effects, yells, and roars for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, some of Donkey Kong's sound effects sounded like "fluff" noises. Donkey Kong is a giant gorilla, the King of the Jungle, and the King of the Jungle! Donkey Kong needs to sound intimidating, powerful, and strong. I felt in Melee that was done much more effectively, albeit a tad bit too simply done in my opinion.

I do think Diddy Kong should also have maybe a "funny" sound for his not-so-serious taunts. That would fit perfectly with his character.

Pretty much all this. Bowser needs to sound like a demon (mixed with a turtle). And that Super Mario 64 evil laugh (and Super Mario Galaxy roar) would be EPIC! :cool:

LMAO, I want a sticker of Marth's skirt from the Fire Emblem 1 cover. It could give an awesome power up, giving all female characters (Marth included, Pit included, and Sheik not included) 25 plus eggs. (for reproductive purposes, of course!) :laugh: :chuckle: :marthmelee: :marthbrawl: :troll:

My main problem with Brawl's acting is that everyone doesn't sound like their hearts were in their performances aside from Falco (he seems rather lucky with voices, even if the Brooklyn accent takes some time getting used to).

That, and I can't STAND either of the Kong's voices. I understand it's realistic if you wanna try to get actual animal sounds, but it just makes them seem more like real life animals than the cartoony animals they are.
The Smash Bros. series was made to make the characters look more realistic. Of course, Yoshi did maintain his typical cartoon voice.

Still, I always wonder what it would be like if Bowser and the Kongs kept their cartoon voices. Chances are, they probably wouldn't be taken so seriously.

I actually liked Falco's accent. My nickname for him is Detective Stabler.

Yeah Bowser should get a voice change reflective of the actual Mario games. I am also bracing myself for Donkey Kong's inevitable change to that awful awful AWFUL voice he has had in current games (seriously, it makes me sick with anger.) Also see Pit getting his new voice from Uprising.

Marth is probably going to get a visual change at the least.

@Oasis: I was born and raised in New York. More specifically Brooklyn.

@Marth pic: Idk how you guys are so focused on Marth when there is a giant Monkey looming in the background of the picture.

We're talking about Engish voices?

Okay then....

The bad

1.) Change Bowser's. It sounds.... ******** and NOT BOWSER LIKE
2.) Wtf Peach o_o
3.) Um..... What's with Zelda's voice?

The good

1.) Falco's voice is just full of win
2.) Captain Falcon is still awesome as ever
3.) The rest of the cast
4.) Pit's voice is suiting imo

I think Pit's English voice in Kid Icarus: Uprising would definitely be good for smash.

@ xIblisx
Hey, that's Marth's sister, not a giant monkey. She just looks weird because she's going through video game puberty! :laugh:

That whole realism thing is something I think needs to go. It worked with Melee, but I dread the day we see a brown and bloomed up Smash. That's actually why I suggested a hologram motif for the next game. Everyone can retain their distinct styles and no one would complain too much once they get the context.

Alternatively, they could try another art style. The question is what?

And I for one like Donkey Kong's current voice in his games. It shows the goofy side that's been missing in Smash.

Based on the FE11 interview, that was hosted by Sakurai, Marth WILL resemble himself in FE11.

@Falco: I'm fine with his voice. I like bread as well. :troll:

@Johnknight: I could correct you, but I'm laughing to much to care. lol

At least Donkey Kong sounds like he's speaking now, even if the words can't be translated.
I just cannot bring myself to like it. It is just too annoying.

Sweet. He will not look as androgynous now. After all, there can only be one fabulous swordsman... ;)

Then who will be Smash's Bridget? It can't be Ghirahim because he looks ironically too masculine to qualify as the next Bridget.

I think the realistic graphics worked in Brawl. The problem is that the lighting was off, the shadows were off, and there were all kinds of issues with the "cut out" characters.

I think all of those graphical issues could be fixed. I also think that the Smash Bros. Development teams need to determine which characters are "cartoony," kind of "cartoony," and realistic. Characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Lucario, Mewtwo, Wario, ROB, Captain Olimar, and Sonic could fit in any of these category.

I'm just not a fan of the "style". The worst offender in Brawl is how the colors are practically desaturated compared to their Melee counterparts. It's like the entire game is down with the flu.

Wait. That would actually explain all the stupid **** in Brawl. Meta Knight didn't get the flu because he has his mask to protect him.

At least the textures are given extra details in Brawl. It'll be interesting to see what will come next.

I know what you mean about the colors. The colors need to obviously be brightened. Do that, fix the cut out characters, fix the lighting, and character shadows and we're good. :cool:
John: Marth is monkey then LOL who let it grab a sword and feminine clothing products?
Marth probably has a career in Japan as a professional advertiser of "personal" woman products in Japan. :cool: :awesome: :chuckle: :marthbrawl:

That Marth redesign is bad ***. Though I think he will probably stay Japanese even in Smash 4. His only English game was Shadow Dragon, its sequel never got translated unfortunately.

I'm also cool with the voices of the Kongs actually. Am especially glad DK doesn't had the horrible, HORRIBLE design with the toothy grin...

Ness and Lucas are actually mindraped versions of themselves. Their psyche was broken into to teach them moves they never learned.

Donkey Kong just doesn't sound right when he sounds like a lion. I get much more humor out of him when he uses his cartoonish voice.

LOL OMG, I haven't never laughed that hard about Brawl. Good **** Kuma and Diddy. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Mario wanted to be a doctor in Brawl as well, but Sakurai said "nope.avi", but it turns out that Mario's doctoral skills would've helped everyone overcome the flu. Mario knew that he couldn't do anything without his medicine with him. That's why he never smiles in Brawl.

Since we are on the character dissing role. Why do Ness and Lucas sound like they have down syndrome?
That's what happens to 12 year old boys in video games going through video game puberty. Your voice sounds like you are a 60 year old lady whose 1 grandparent was a rat! :awesome:

Can't really say I had any complaints about the voice acting.

And I'd much prefer DK's voice in Brawl to well, the one in Mario Kart Wii (he sounds like a man with Down Syndrome).

He does, but its better than in Jungle Beat, where he sounds like hes on heavy heavy dope.

Keep the grunts for DK please. A more definable Uh Roh is also desirable. I btw thought that Mewtwo in Melee with his victory cry sounded like a lion. Never thought of DK in Brawl as that...

As bad as Brawl's English voice acting is, it will never compare to the awfulness of Mario Kart's voices, noises, groans, and yells. Fortunately those are very minimal in Mario Kart, whereas in Brawl they were much more common.

I think Donkey Kong with his grunts that sound powerful and like a gorilla "showing off" his strength work great. The rest (for Donkey Kong)... not so much.

And if Mewtwo returns, his Japanese voice actor needs to return as well. His Japanese voice actor was HARDCORE! Mewtwo sounded like a Japanese Darth Vader! :mewtwomelee:
