Star Fox 64 was his first speaking role, how can you say that's "wrong"?

Because you don't always get things right the first time. I mean, with Fox, he technically made noises in Snes. Besides, it was his first ENGLISH speaking role. I know I am treading on dangerous territory bringing this up, but Naruto's english voice is crap. I still support Wolf for Assault voice.

I think that too many people too often associate English Accent with Evil. Simply because Wolf had an English Accent didn't make him have a good voice. To those of you who haven't played it yet, I suggest you pick up a copy of Starfox Assault for the Nintendo Gamecube. There, you will hear Wolf sound his greatest. He's a total badass in it (and at least in my opinion the best voice in the game).

Not to sound better than anyone else, but I posted about this before his voice was publicly revealed on youtube.
Weird as it may seem, I was posting about how crazy everyone's voice is, and I specifically said:
"What next, Wolf is a cowboy!"
Sadly enough, my post came true.
This sucks, though I can get used to it.
But his FS announcement....it just doesn't fit him.
He should say something that shows superiority, or something evil.
HE'S A BAD GUY!
Like "Look at what I found" or something......

his voice works for him, wolf is a bounty hunter so a western "bounty hunter" voice works just fine.....
that being said though id still prefer the origonal, assault would of been fine too. ohwell, guess i'll just live with it

I think Wolf sounds awesome. He's like a cross between Chuck Norris and Boba Fett. And that's badass no matter how you look at it.

Err... no. Wolf is indeed an egomaniac, but he is far from evil.

That is so awesome. I going to make that my catch phrase.

Not to mention it's homage to his saying in Starfox Assault: "I already told you, I didn't come here to save you." (mentions it to Fox after saving his life from the Aparoids). He came to Fox's rescue simply because if anyone were to defeat Fox, it'd be him. "He'd be the one to take Fox down". Get it? In that sense, SSBB gets a gold star for past game references.I will be the one to take you down.

However, what's with people thinking he sounds western? I don't hear that at all...where's the Cowboy twang? He doesn't say "Ah'll bee thuh wuun ta take yew downn!" He just says it with a deep voice. The only line that sounds even remotely western is his "Playtime's over, Starfox!" line. And even THAT doesn't have a big twang. How does Wolf's voice translate to western, Cowboy, or any of the stereotypes people gave him?
While I don't LOVE the voice they gave Wolf (again, would have preferred the Starfox Assault voice), this one's alright...and does NOT sound western.

I'd love to hear some Lylat Wars phrases, like: You're good.. BUT IM BETTAH!!
Or: Play time is over!
Oh well, at least they didn't screw him up as bad as they did with Pit and Ike.

I don't get what all the complaints about the Brawl VA's are for. They sound just fine, lets face it, it's better than having Japanese VAs doing english like in Melee. Wolf in Brawl does have a very subtle southern accent and it sounds just fine, Its not like a redneck accent or anything. Its not like complaining is going to fix it. just learn to be satisfied with what you get

No!!!!!! No!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!
This is why I'm going to stick with the Japanese version of Brawl.
I know Japanese, and the voice actors are so much better and more fitting to the character personality.
This almost always seems to be the case. In every game or anime I've played with the option, I've used Japanese voices and English subs if there's a lot of complex dialog.

I think his voice kinda sounds like sawyer's from "lost". Well not an exact match, I mean just by tone and accent. Kinda southern but not full on southern.

Yes, I am making it sound worse than it actually is, so what's your point? It's called exaggeration and emphasis. The whole point was to express my discontent with the voice.
And as far as I am concenred, it is some trailer trash bandit talk. Not some cool western outlaw talk. I'll get used to it. Not saying I won't, but it sure as hell doesn't fit his character.
Outlaw life style =/= Outlaw voice
Oh... really?
...Wow... I'm a lot happier now =) Thank you for enlightening me.

I was just thinking that. Even with super advanced technology, the south prevails. Well, except for Falco. He's gone New York on us.Dang they gave him his Command or what should be his command voice....
he speaks like a southern hunter with the Vermin and buggers......
Great Peppy was southern
Bill is now southern
now Wolf is southern
Whats with Star Fox and the South?
Can't wait to hear latin lover Slippy! [/sarcasm] Seriously, the voices aren't that bad but I do miss the originals...

Cheesy famous lines =/= good voice acting
When you ask how good the voice acting was in 64, they'll only give you quotes, but not the actual voice acting reasoning.
I still prefer Assault voices though, save for Leon and Krystal.

why doesnt nintendo just give you a choice between to the two voice casts (japanese and english)? anyway wolf's english voice does somewhat fit him.

Wolf doesn't sound Texan when he does his FS in-game after all.
Also, I find it funny that they dubbed over his Star KO howl but retained his taunt howl.

It's horrible, but not as bad as Falco's 1950's London mobster voice.

You mean his brooklyn accent?
I thought it was fine when I heard it on youtube, just a bit strange (I had never heard his previous voices until after I heard this one). I think it's sounds better when you actually hear it when you have the game. It doesn't really sound so Texan or southern. In my opinion, it's one of the better voices in the game.
