The sound effects

[MarioMeteor]

Now I've been thinking this for while, but what is up with the sound effects in this game? They are so whack now. Like Ragnell for example. In Brawl it sounded like a cannon from World War II, now it sounds like firecrackers. And Dedede's hammer. When I hit smash Attack, I wanna hear that pounding sound that sounds like a hammer, not like somebody clapping. Galaxia, it sounds like somebody rattling a chain, not like somebody breaking the sound barrier with a sword. And when you hit somebody in general, it just ain't nearly as satisfying as Brawl.
Y'all hear it too? I can't be the only one. Who else thinks the sounds went down the ****ter?

 

[CURRY]

Shaking screen and hitstun make the more powerful attacks plenty satisfying.

Toon Link has new swishy sounds on his sword, and they sound cute.
Ehh, Smash 4 feels... lighthearted? Brighter, and more cheerful.
Although I've never played it competitively, I've always felt like the Melee Marth's tipper sounds were extremely unfitting. It felt satisfying to space well in Brawl though because of that brief period of hitstun and the sound effect.

The sounds still sounded weird in Brawl though... no sword makes the sounds that they do when they hit in Melee or Brawl.
The electric sounds sound nice on Pika, the Dolphin/Crescent Slash (Marth/Lucina Up-B) sound nice, the swords sound swishy like they're supposed to be.
Doesn't Galaxia have the same sounds from Brawl? I'm fine with the sounds, although that might be because of my bias from Brawl.

No, Galaxia sounds radically different than in Brawl. Do Galaxia Darkness in Brawl then do it in 4, you'll see what I mean. Dolphin Slash is another example. That "WHOOOSH" sound in Brawl sounds way better than that "ching" in 4. Every thing just sounds (and looks) less extreme then in Brawl.

the sound effects don't bother me too much although I have noticed that they're a little bit worse than Brawls, but what DOES get me is the lack of variety in sound effects, especiaally the groans from getting hit.

There's a few characters who are a lot more noticeable than others but fight a fox and you'll hear that same annoying yelp on repeat until the battle is over

Fox's voice in general is ****ty. I don't know if he sounds like a teen or an old man.

 

[Zero Suit Wario]

They don't bother me. But 64 will always have the best sound effects.

 

[MarioMeteor]

Nah, they sound too low-quality to me. Matter of fact, everything in 64 was low-quality. The main reason I don't go back to it is cause the graphics make me cry. Like your profile picture.

 

[Etc_Guy]

The sound effects vary from good to okay. It does sound more lighthearted compared to Brawl but Melee's sound design was terrible at best.

Some of the new voices can be annoying sometimes. and 's voice is more cutesy but less tolerable than their Brawl voice. Others may like it more than I do though. voice is just terrible, same with . (Just not as bad.) I wish they reused those twos' voice from Brawl.

 

[Khao]

Generally, I actually think this game has the best sounds in the whole series.

Some of my absolute favorites are charging Marth/Lucina's Shield Breaker, or Link's Spin Attack. You can pretty much feel the strenght of the move quickly ascending while you charge those things.

Talking specifics, though, there's things I think some games do better than others. 64 still has by far the best crowd chants, like, no contest. And I still miss the sound of sword hits in Melee, they just have the perfect amount of "slashiness."

 

[alex6309]

I honestly feel this game has more satisfying sound effects but that just might be the characters I play having good SFX in particular.

 

[ChikoLad]

Mega Man.

There's my entire argument for this game having the best sound effects.

 

[MarioMeteor]

Mega Man.

There's my entire argument for this game having the best sound effects.

Damn it! My argument is invalid, Mega's sound effects are the most satisfying thing in the game. I nut a little every time I land a Hard Knuckle. And Flame Blast. OMG Flame Blast. And Charge Shot, and-**** it, they're all good.

Man, me and you just don't see eye to eye, do we? The crowd chants are so ****ing weak in this. And it's not like it's a 3DS problem either, the U versions is equally suck ass. I actually think Brawl has the best chants. And sound effects. And slashing sounds. You know what, everything. But Melee Fox and Falco will always "FEYEEAHH". Everything in Brawl was so unnecessarily extreme it was amazing.

Wait, Melee had sound effects? Kidding, but yeah, they were ****ing atrocious. Falco sounds either very bored or very gay. Brooklyn Falco will forever be missed.

That's also my entire argument for this being the best smash game.

 

[MarioMeteor]

By that logic Brawl is the best game because of Ike's sound effects.

 

[Khao]

By that logic Brawl is the best game because of Ike's sound effects.

Nuh-uh, if it's not Mega Man it doesn't count, logic obviously doesn't work like that!

EDIT: (also, i meant that crowd chants in smash 64 are my favorite. the ones here are pretty bad)

Logic? What's that?

 

[FalKoopa]

I think the new sound effects are okay. We'll probably grow used to them slowly and even start to like them down the line.

Give it some time.

 

[link-a-link]

I cant forgive Capt. Falcon not having a falcon sound when he does falcon punch

Oh, I have. 2 months, if you wanna be fancy about it. Still don't like em. Some of em are good, some of em are great (Hard Knuckle, oh my God, yes), but most of em are horrible.

Truth be told, I didn't even notice that till you pointed it out.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

I like the sound effects

But weirdly i can't find the audience cheer sound effects

 

[Deleted member]

I feel the sound effects have definitely improved over Brawl's in my honest opinion. They are a bit more loud and satisfying.

This. The audience is way too quiet :'(

It's a 64 game, what do you expect lol

 

[AnchorTea]

Villager's sound effects are a godsend to the animal crossing fans.

Your profile pic is adorable. :3

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

This games sound effects ****ing suck, man.

I literally dropped Ike because he doesn't sound like he isn't whacking the living **** out of you. MK's sword sound effects sound as lame as his neutral air; like someone is shaking paper in the air or some ****.

Physical hits sounds like someone is dropping rocks on the pavement.

No sound effects will ever beat 64. That and the old school VS. Series.

Also, Falco's Laser sounds waaaaaay better in Brawl.

Good. So I'm not the only one. But God damn man, you dropped Ike just cause of it? Overreact much?

 

[Chandeelure]

You are right about the Ike and Meta Knight's sounds, also, for some reason, R.O.B.'s Taunt (when he shoots beams) sounds really soft. Zelda's sounds are weird, but not that bad.

And the music sounds soft too.

But I like the sound of the powerful attacks in Sm4sh.

 

[TheGingerRussian]

I sometimes don't even notice the audience is chanting. And even when I do, it's really muffled and quiet.

I've had the game for almost 3 months and I still couldn't tell you what the hell they're saying.

 

[NinJaSQUARE]

I really do miss Ike's old sound effects. They felt so satisfying.

Tell me about it. Of all the stuff they reused from Brawl they couldn't reuse those?

 

[SuaveChaser]

I think sound effects pretty good alot better than brawl. I wish they were good as n64. The crowds were so live in that game.

 

[Deleted member]

Generally speaking, I don't mind the sounds. Hitting someone with G&W's forward air feels quite satisfying. Monado's sound effects also sound nice. I'm more bothered by the crowd. It's impossible to understand them.

 

[AnchorTea]

No they don't. Obvious idiot.

Well you don't have to be an obvious rude person just because I didn't remember something correctly.

 

[MarioMeteor]

You the one that called Phoenix a troll cause your deaf ass can't distinguish two obviously different sounds. Take your own advice, you not innocent at all. Deaf and an idiot, must suck to be you.

OR. You could've just said "oh ok" or "oh sorry" but you decided to make things even worse by insulting me again...
