: Super disappointed with these guys using their Brawl clips again. Mario characters often get new recordings for many different games, but not Smash Bros.? It's bizarre. You'd think Charles Martinet would be elated to contribute new voice clips for his 3 characters. The fact that these 4 will be using their Brawl clips again for the next 5+ years is just... ugh. Feels super lazy.
: Coming from Mario Kart 8's awfulness, Rosalina's Smash voice is pretty good. As was mentioned earlier, I believe it's the same voice actress as MK7/MG:WT. I like that they included the echo again, unlike MK8 that normalized her voice and made her sound far too similar to Peach. Rosalina sounds much more bearable now, so I highly approve of the voice.
: These 3 having generic animal voices again is just unacceptable for me. It
never sounded good. And it's even worse with Bowser now that his children are included this time around with their normal in-game voices. They even went out of their way to fix Bowser's posture and make his model more accurate to his appearances in Mario titles, and yet... still using a Godzilla voice. Seriously? I also hate that Diddy has been given a generic chimp voice in not only Smash, but recent Donkey Kong Country games as well. What are they doing with him? Lol.
: Not digging the recycled voices with this group. Because I recognize each of them so well through playing NSMBU, it feels odd hearing the same voice clips again in a game like Smash Bros.. What sucks even more is that Wendy has to use her ****ty, stereotypical, feminine voice instead of her much more likable one from Mario Kart 8.
: I find it odd that
Pikachu, the
face of Pokemon, is going with his Brawl clips again this time around, yet Charizard and Lucario recieve new recordings. Charizard sounds fantastic though (pretty much what Bowser should've sounded like...), but Lucario sounds really... lame to me. His Brawl voice was more convincing, with the new one sounding more like a generic anime character (yes, I'm aware of the whole 'Goku's voice actor' thing, lol). Greninja sounds kind of silly coming from its Japanese voice, and Jigglypuff having the same voice clips since 64 is just baffling. Is it an inside joke? Because there's no way they can't get someone to provide new recordings. I prefer the Purin voice 10x's over, ha.
: Now I'm sure I'm one of the few people here to actually enjoy Fox's new voice. Yeah, some of his voice clips are a bit embarrassing (like "Landmaster!" and "Fire!") , but I think he sounds great outside of those. It's kind of nostalgic. However, I feel that Falco lost some of his charm with his new voice. It doesn't hold the same impact for me at all. I mean, "get some"? Really?
: Like the first group of characters I mentioned, I'm a bit miffed that these 4 haven't recieved any new voice clips either. It's especially silly when all that needs to be provided for these characters for voice clips are generic grunts and yells that can be done by any experienced voice actor. I'd like to not hear the same voice clips for a character two games in a row, honestly.
: Love these two's new voice clips. Especially Ness's. It sounds fantastic and makes him feel fresh and new despite having only appeared in one non-Smash game in the 90's.
: Looove iiit. The accent is hilarious and very unique among the Smash Bros. cast.
: Pit sounds wonderful. I loved his voice in Uprising and am glad to have it return. Dark Pit however sounds like an obnoxious, angsty and edgy teen. It's annoying, and doesn't help me like the character any more. Palutena is decent, just doesn't sound as good as the actual voice actress.
: I'm not sure if many others have noticed it, but something about Little Mac feels too... Japanese in this game. His voice is very reminiscent of his AT's from Brawl. It's very deep, and it even sounds like he uses some Japanese expressions. Definitely not liking it, as his Punch-Out Wii voice was much more enjoyable. Why does he have the same voice actor across regions? ...I guess they didn't feel it was worth the effort with an essentially silent protagonist, lol.
: Other than the lack of the 8-bit laugh, I actually enjoy the "voice" of the Duck Hunt dog. Like the original game, the dog has a generic barking sound effect that it uses with certain moves. It's simple and fits well with the character.
