YOU DARE CALL STARFOX VOICE ACTING BAD QUALITY?!?!?!?! (Insert CDi Ganon quote here)
Well, I do have high standards for quality.

I like hearing characters sounding like actual characters with a good portrayal that matches their personality.

Hearing the Star Fox 64 3D voices in the video @GoldenYuiitusin posted made me cringe. The actors that protrayed those characters in Brawl did a much better job at capturing the characters' personalities.

I still think we may have nearly dodged a bullet if Wolf was to get his Starfox 3DS voice in Smash 4. In Starfox 3D itself I think it does kind of go with his appearance there more. Would've hated to see that voice be applied to his Smash appearance though, especially over the deep and epic one he had in Brawl.

What's wrong with Falco's voice? I think it sounds better than the one in Brawl. Fox i agree though.

Because Falco sounds like an intentionally bad voiced teenager in an abridged series.

The problem with Falco is that his voice is just plain compared to his Brawl voice.

Like if Falco was only capable of dry snark.

A character having a VA change isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as the replacement does a good job at portraying the character.

Palutena, Magnus, Phosphora and Robin (female) had their voice actors replaced, but the new ones portray those characters just as well as the original VAs did. Sure, there are some slight differences in the voices, but they sound fitting for the characters.

Same can't be said for Fox and Falco. Their replacements hardly do any justice to the previous actors' portrayal. They sound too different and too dissonant.

Also, the way Falco speaks during his taunts, and the way he speaks when saying "Fire!" sound like different voices.

As bad as Fox and Falco's voices are, i still think the worst by far is Meta Knight's, especially when you compare him to his japanese voice actor.

It's the same as Brawll. I think. It fits MK very well IMO.

Speaking of voice actoring, I can't be the only one that thinks Rosalina's sound quality is different compared to everyone else. In my opinion, it doesn't sound too great, like it has worse sound quality.

It's a little thing that a shouldn't bug me, but it does.

As I said earlier Falco's voice only bothers me when speaks actual words. It doesn't bother me when he just makes noises like yells and grunts, etc.

I can just barely stand Fox's voice though.

Fox doesn't shout fire if you change his recovery to Flying Fox. No damage in exchange for no voice... good trade off to me.

Just never up or down taunt...

Here was Sakurai's other voice alternatives for Fox and Falco.

Fox : "RAAAAAAWR!"

Falco : "SKREEEEEEE!"

Human or animal voices? Hmm...

You think Rosalina is bad? Just listen to Riki! His voice sounds so pixely, I don't understand.

Why can't they just get the guys from Melee back as their voice actors :c

Well, her voice does have an echo effect, so they may have reduced the sound quality so it didn't eat up more data than necessary.

I just checked the voice clips, and for some reason, 2 of the koopalings have 25 voice clips, but the other 5 and BJ have 26. Why are 2 of them missing a voice clip? Also, the none of the koopaling have Star KO sounds, but BJ does. I don't get it

Hard evidence why Bowser Jr is the best character in the game. You can't argue with the facts.
