Event - E3 Invitational 2014 Voice Actors

[Hoots]

I suspect we'll only get 1 set of voice actors for the entire world. Let's assume they're an English/Japanese split for now. Mario/Luigi/Wario/Rosalina/Peach in English for example. Marth in Japanese, etc.

That will never happen. Characters with actual lines of dialogue (beyond announcing attacks and with the ridiculous exception of Marth and Roy in Brawl/Melee) are always localized.

The dude who voices Goku and Lucario. Why it's rumored that he'll voice Greninja, I have no clue.

Sean did Lucario's voice for his debut in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, since then he has been voiced by Bill Rogers (who replaced Eric Stuart as Brock) and he voiced Lucario in Brawl, and the last time he voiced a Lucario was during the Unova league saga in the B/W anime (voicing Cameron's Lucario), it's very likely he'll be back voicing Lucario again in these games.

EDIT: According to the SmashWiki page, Sean is reprising his role as Lucario for SSB4 (replacing Bill Rogers from Brawl), so he's definitely not voicing Greninja (Greninja sounds almost like Froakie but more mature so I'm wondering if it's the same VA who voices Froakie in the anime?), plus Sean is a far better fit for Lucario's voice than Bill was (Lucario sounded far too angry and evil sounding which didn't fit the Aura hero at all), it seems Goku may be finally coming to Smash in the form of Lucario.

I'm hoping that Alésia Glidewell is Samus' voice actress again. If not, then I'm also content with Jennifer Hale, which is extremely unlikely. But I think they're going to use Jessica Martin (or maybe even someone new).. if so, I hope it sounds decent at the very least.

I'd better hear Takashi Nagasako do donkey kong instead of beast noises

 

[smashbro29]

inb4 it's a chick.

That could be good. They'd have to really get a good chick though.

Though it's probably gonna be a guy as the announcer is also Master Hand.

I wouldn't be surprised. Fighting games don't like crazy guys anymore. Not only will it be a chick, it will be a robotic sounding chick, like Injustice.

Injustice has the most piss poor presentation of any of the past gen's fighting games.

I'd rather hear Grant Kirkhope. OKAY!

Mario, Luigi and Wario's voice actor is a given...

I hope they get Samus' voice actor back from Brawl I liked her voice for Samus.

I know, I loved her voice from Brawl

I especially want Falco and Capt. Falcon's voice actors to return. They did great. I think it's hilarious that Sakurai voices Dedede.

If they're gonna give Villager some Animalese voice samples, Reiko Ninomiya should reprise her role for those.

...Also, if Miis get in, they should use the same vocal software as Tomodachi Life.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

In the direct I think I heard Marth's japanese grunts.

 

[Roy of Pharae]

they could just be place holders.

Lucas didn't have an English VA. He had a Japanese VA. It's just that, in the original Japanese, the names of the abilities he used were in English. If you listen, you can kinda hear a bit of a Japanese accent.

False. He has an English voice in Brawl; done by Lani Minella. She also voiced Lyn and Pit in SSBB. You may know her as the voice of Rouge the Bat in Sonic Adventure 2 and Luke in the Professor Layton games.

Anyway, I'd pay money to have Grant do DK's voice. Supposedly he was actually meant to in Melee, can't remember why he didn't though.

It was actually a design choice, dammit Sakurai xD I want to hear Bowser's, DK's, and Diddy's voices D:

 

[CloneHat]

Pretty sure we're going to be listening to the Japanese VAs for a month before release anyway. Anyone remember "UNUNUNUNUNUNUNUNU!" ?

 

[KingBroly]

Zero Suit Samus: Jessica Martin

NO

OH, right, I was mixing him up with Ness (who is voiced by the same girl who voices Kirby, if I'm remembering right)
