Official Dean Harrington (Menu Voice Actor) Return Thread

This thread is a discussion on the one deep voiced guy that we hear when we are going through the menu and/or selecting our character. The guy that says the character's name in a voice that makes it sound dramatic. I am hoping they keep that sort of voice in back from Melee & SSB64. I don't want to get to some new voice (If anybody has played the Super Smash Bros. Flash with the female teen voice, you'd understand). This thread can also be used for people who can imagine hearing that voice say a certain word like some characters. What i mean by that, is how would you think the announcer pronounce your favorite character in a lower voice (Like how he said Samus in Melee) or yells it out a little loudly (Like how he said Mario in Melee). You can do your predictions on both Confirmed & Unconfirmed characters.
Just to make reference to the him being the deep voice announcer guy, we can call him in short: D.V.A.G. or Dvag.

Edit: Or i guess we can call him Dean. But i will still say Dvag for the fun of it:laugh:

Ya, srsly. Dean Harrington has the ability to turn any phrase and turn it into the most exciting thing ever. I've been waiting for an update on the announcer in SSBB since they started.

...I just wanna hear him say the game's name at the end of the opening.

I changed the title and some phrases in the 1st post. I didn't know at 1st the guy's voice actor was Dean Harrington. So i corrected it.

I demand an easter egg that has him saying "Flawless Victory! Fatality!" under some set of circumstances.

I'm all for Dean Harrington's return. The only other voices I'd possibly want to see replacing him are Don LaFontaine (the "movie trailer" guy) or...well, no, it seems Don Knotts is dead. So either Dean H. or Don LaFontaine.

Nah, Movie Trailer Guy doesn't hold a candle for Smash Announcing than Smash Announcer Guy.

Leave Movie Trialer Guy for more long-winded stuff, like, I dunno, Movie Trailers.

In a world...where player one selects Captain Falcon and player two selects Samus, the mightiest test of skill is about to be released! Coming to a Wii near you this December.

I used to think he said "deleted."
"Failure" always made me want to try again because he sounded sad, but slightly mocking, like he wanted you to try again. And getting "Success!" or "A new record!" always gives me a feeling of pride.

Haha, awesome.

I can imagine him saying the names of the newcomers...

"WIND Wakeeer Link!"

"Woariooo."

"Kiing DE-DE-DE!"


...now who else wonders how he'd pronounce Pit? It'll probably make you check for spit in your face the first few times. o_o

I'm gonna guess he says in a low voice: "pit.."

Or perhaps he coudl yell it out like this: "Pit!"

Or even less likely: "PiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"

If anything, Brawl deserves the Terminator as the announcer.

On a serious note, was the Melee announcer guy the same as the one from 64?
If it was I think he would have a better chance of returning. It's possible.

YOUUNNNNNNNNNNNGGG LINK!
MAH-YEEE-OH Mario did sound wierd to me..

And who could forget: A NEEEWW RECCORD!

This guy is awesome. Every time he said, "Failure..." it made me want to try again. It was goading, encouraging. And it was oh-so-sweet when he told the world that the player sitting next to you had been...

"DEFEATED."

They should make a special feature about this guy in the game. He even deserve his own stage.

Yeah, I can already see it happening:

"Dean Harrington Shrine"

ROFL,
I have my hopes SO high for the VAG-man to return, he makes Melee worth playing =] .

+He's everyone's all time favourite character. (if you have an imagination, unlocking the Voice Over guy is the best feeling ever.)
