That was to be expected anyway. The actor himself as stated he would reprise the role too, but I'm not sure if it is true.

Well, it's still good, considering Pit's voice in Uprising is better than his Brawl one.

Here's hoping that, if he returns, Pokémon Trainer has Red's voice from Pokémon Origins...

A confirmation was all I need. It just isn't the same if Pit was voiced by someone else. After all, Sakurai did say that on the Developer Direct when he was talking but Pit that he was the Kid Icarus Uprising version now, so that itself would imply that Antony Del Rio would voice him again. Much times better than the repulsive Brawl voice.

Well... Not exactly. In the Japanese version, Pit is voiced by the same VA (Minami Takayama) in Brawl and Uprising. I doubt Sakurai would have any involvement in the English localization of the game.

I should also mention that IMDb is not the most reliable of sources, as there's unconfirmed information there too, but I think it's pretty much a given that Pit will keep the same VA from Uprising.

Now that makes me worry more. I know the JP Pit was the same, but America better not screw up with English Pit. -.-

Nintendo of America tends to keep the same voice actors from the most recent games in Smash, so it's a safe bet that Pit will keep the same VA as Uprising.

But an offical confirmation isn't released, that Antony Del Rio will be the voice of Pit right?

It seems shallow, but Pit (and Sonic's) annoying voices kept me from using them in Brawl.

I'm looking forward to his dialogue on the KIU stages. I hope he converses with Viridi, Palutena, Hades, Magnus, Medusa and several others.

Especially Hades.

This was literally the only change I desperately wanted for Pit. The changes to the moveset will be interesting, and the FS change looks good (even though I always have them turned off). But I don't play as Pit for his moveset. The voice puts the last piece into the puzzle

Has anyone looked at the IMDB page for the game again recently? I think it's been hacked...

Yeah, it's definitely him. You can hear Antony very clearly. I'm excited for this!

I was so glad to hear Anthony's voice! His Pit is so memorable and awesome! :love:

Actually looking forward to having Pit as one of my mains this time, given the Anthony news, and the fact that watching him in action actually looks really exciting this time around! I really wasn't a fan of his Brawl moveset, or his VA.

After hearing him some of the videos I'm honestly not that hyped. He's very good for dialogue and based on the Palutena trailer he has codec conversations and they'll be a delight to listen too. But all his grunts sounded odd and out of places, and we're going to hear those far more than codecs most likely.

IMDB said Ali Hillis was voicing Palutena before she was confirmed or we'd seen her at all. I mean, I think that's the case now.

It also has Adam Howden listed for Shulk (again, also probable) but we technically don't know yet.

And someone as K. Rool, Hades, the FE Avatar (and no Chrom) etc.

Never trust it's info until its confirmed.

I think listing Tim Phillips' character as "Dante from the Devil may Cry series" is a bit of a giveaway that it's not legit. Also a suspicious number of people playing themselves.

But we've heard Pit talking in Palutena's trailer, so that one's real.

Are we 100% sure about Palutena though? I'm playing through Uprising again at the moment and she sounds really different to me.

I think a lot of people are saying it sounds different because there's no echo this time around unlike in KIU.

Never liked his voice from Brawl. It was so irritating compared to del Rio, who did an even better job voicing him in Uprising.
