Should Lucario talk like he did in Brawl?

[Tepig2000]

In Brawl, Lucario could talk using what Sakurai refers to as "a sort of telephaty". Do you think he should still talk like this? Or should he be limited to saying his name and yelling random things like "Roah" and "Ha!"?

 

[Sonicguy726]

No, I liked that he could talk, he sounded badass

 

[Gune]

If he stopped talking it would be really weird I'm really used to brawl lucario., that being said I hope were able to change the language this time because Daisuke Namikawa does such a awesome Lucario voice...

 

[Niko Mar]

He definitely shouldn't just grunt/say his own name.

Although it would be cool for Sean Schemmel to voice him once again.

 

[Tepig2000]

The general agreement is that he should talk. That is exactly what I expected.

 

[ProjectAngel]

Let Lucario speak.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Let Goku Lucario talk.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Lucario wouldn't be the same if he couldn't talk. Hopefully he'll have the same voice actor from Brawl too.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

If he talks he needs to say something besides "aura." He likes aura. It's his gimmick and that's fine, but he can say something different on his victory screen every once and awhile?

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Let Goku Lucario talk.

How did you know about my Level 100 Son Goku on my Y?

I guess I'll be the first to come out against him having dialogue this time around. When he was added to Brawl, his movie was still recent and it's obvious that much of his popularity was coasting off of that. Now, however, the movie is no longer recent nor relevant, and Lucario stands as a breakout character regardless of anime tie-in marketing. Lucario's known more as "that one badass Pokemon that is really good at sweeping" than the star of a film. Lucario's current relevance lays in the video game realm of the franchise. I think he should therefore adopt a more "generic" persona that consists of typical grunts and shouts, to better reflect his prominence as a species overall than as a distinctive character from a movie. Use of in-game cries from X/Y would be nice, but I assume they'd do something more akin to the anime, which is fine enough, I suppose.

 

[Sonicguy726]

I think he's most likely gonna talk like before and although I would prefer Sean Schemmel we're probably gonna get Bill Rodger cause that was his brawl voice

Lucario was essentially this in Brawl, albeit with one or two actual speaking lines. I imagine the same to happen again this time around.

Hate to be this person but

But that's how sakurai views him as the heroic aura pokemon from the movie so I doubt because now people know Lucario as a deadly Sweeper sakurai looks at him any different than he did 6 years ago.

 

[Souless_shadow]

"Watch the power of aura!" When I first heard that it sounded so cool!

 

[Oniric Spriter]

Leave him with the same voice he had. Which hopefully it's what's going to happen.

 

[Sonicguy726]

Same voice actor different lines, not every sentence he says has to have the word aura in it

 

[Oniric Spriter]

Yeah, totally, something like: "I can see you even with my eyes closed!" or since he's based in the movie Lucario "Master, If only you could hear me..." would be really cool.

Those sound awesome, I mean seriously I get that the aura is his gimmick but not every line needs the word in it

 

[Morbi]

I actually really liked his voice in Brawl, it adds to his character. I suppose it reaffirms that this is THE Lucario, not a generic Lucario. That is something that pertains to my interests.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Well, it was weird to hear him in French the first time, along the Trainer (pokémon names don't really shock, as I know them, but hearing actual french is always surprising ), but if he stopped talking, something would be missing.

"Attention au pouvoir de l'aura!" His French voice wasn't bad, actually. Can't say the same for the trainer.

 

[Superyoshiom]

I like Lucario's voice, it makes him sound even cooler.

 

[Princess Toady]

Please no, it's so painful to listen to in French.

'Attention au pouvoir de l'aura'... I mean, come on...

Deidara : How about 'Attention au pouvoir de Laura ?' :trollface:

 

[Homelessvagrant]

well if Meowth can talk, I see nothing wrong with Lucario being able to speak. Granted I don't like basing the pokemon characters off of the anime (they originally had growls, rather than saying their own name). However it is quite clear that smash has a lot of basis off of the anime so I won't argue part of the fact. Either let Lucario speak or make the pokemon have growls comparative to Pokemon: the origin.

 

[Arcanir]

I hope he keeps it, it's part of what makes his character in these games and I feel that element should remain.

 

[Altais]

I would love for Richard Epcar to do Lucario's voice in Smash 4.

And yes, Lucario's lines could use a little more imagination, besides "Aura this, aura that."

 

[Sunnysunny]

Same voice actor different lines, not every sentence he says has to have the word aura in it

I <3 you.

<3

If you've ever played Marvel Vs Capcom as Phoenix she has the same bad characterization problem, only talking about her "Phoenix force" powers in every line.

 

[Ividboy]

he should talk just like he did in brawl, but one of his taunts should have him make the cry from the games, I think it should be his up taunt.

 

[Ultima777]

Same voice actor different lines, not every sentence he says has to have the word aura in it

I would like him to still talk but have more lines as well. When he counters he could say "Where are you looking?" or "I`m behind you".

 

[Sunnysunny]

He actually does have a line when he successfully counters already.
It's just very silent. If you go into sound room in brawl you can hear him go "It's over." without all the other noises that cloud it out during a match.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I don't like his Final Smash saying, but I'd know what to change it to. (Yes, it's DBZ related.)

Screw Lucario's voice, what the heck is wrong with Brock's?

 

[praline]

He talked? I don't remember that. lol

 

[Sonicguy726]

He talked? I don't remember that. lol

He only really said watch the power of aura when he did his final smash, there were a couple of other lines but you can barely hear him

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

He talked? I don't remember that. lol

He has a few lines but he does talk.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Course he is gonna talk, that Lucario was not just any random Lucario from the games or anime, it was the protagonist from the 10th movie, just like the Mewtwo they used was the one from the first movie.

Also, if we are going to say that the anime holds no precedence at all just look at the voices of the pokemon cast. Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Squirtle, Ivysaur and the pokemon summons all have their anime voices in which they mostly say their names; unlike their videogame incarnations where they just growl or cry. The source material is mostly derived from the games sure, but saying that Lucario shouldn't have his voice back because he only remains well-known in the realms of the games is preposterous.

 

[VioletSmashfan]

I think he's most likely gonna talk like before and although I would prefer Sean Schemmel we're probably gonna get Bill Rodger cause that was his brawl voice

It's confirmed, that Sean Schemmel is coming back to voice Lucario for these games, which means we have the real Lucario back in the game (he should have voiced him in Brawl rather than Bill Rogers (who was voicing him at the time when the anime rolled around).

 

[Masonomace]

Definitely want some Lucario talking during taunts or after killing someone.

Yeah, totally, something like: "I can see you even with my eyes closed!" or since he's based in the movie Lucario "Master, If only you could hear me..." would be really cool.

Approves

Edit: Talking about this might make Lucario a chatter-box but could praise someone with one line for clanking with his moves (aura) like, "Impressive" or "Such strong aura!..."

 

[DrRiceBoy]

Nice! I really liked how Lucario talked in Brawl, it's neat to see he has the same cool voice.
