Oh yes, her voice is perfect. It's great when you have her wearing her black suit too. Black latex and whips? Mmmm mmm good...

Errr...I am not too fond of it. It isn't what I expected Samus to sound like.

What are you talking about, its semi deep to sound like a warrior woman, but not deep enough for a warrior woman pumped on steroids. But hey, I guess everyone had their own voice for her

What happened to Jeniffer Hale? She did the grunts and stuff for the Prime games, but that is clearly not her.

I think it's a little odd to have her speaking at all. The voice kinda reminds me of Aeon Flux (animated) a little bit.

Still, she kicks all sorts of ***. Totally playing as her.

In the end it doesnt matter what her voice sounds like, because the other charaters will be dead before they can hear it :p

Oh, come on, it's not like this is an extremely high-pitched girly voice. This is Samus. This is what Samus would sound like, and I think it's almost perfect. Prime voice would've been good, but I honestly don't think it matters much, because what's available here is still really good and very suitable.

I am minimally disappointed that Samus sounds so different in Brawl than she does in Metroid. I've always imagined her to sound more sophisticated and less vain, which is the vibe Jennifer Hale's voice acting has given off. But it's not a big deal. She still sounds great.

I'm sorry, but that voice is hot. That pretty much does it for me. She's my new main :p

Well not only because of that but in terms of range, she is the closest thing to melee Marth. She even has a long range smash with a slight lag. The difference is that she's slightly faster than Marth was.

To be brutally honest, i don't like the voice. It's not the actualy VOICE im dissappointed i, it's her ATTITUDE while she's talking. "Is that all...?" She sounds a little TOO cocky...a little too femme fatale...a little too evil James Bond girl...which isnt the samus i've grown to love. I always thought she'd sound more...uh...modest...?

I would have rather she stuck to grunts and smirks instead. but what can i do, i'll just have to deal. She is a beast in battle btw...

Her voice is perfect for her, it conveys a strong woman personality. Which is what she is.

I dunno why people dont think she talks though. She might not have a voice in the games, but she definitely has text dialogue and conversations (Metroid Fusion mostly though). She is definitely not like Link to me.

And the reason why we hear her voice in Metroid Prime is because we are supposed to be her INSIDE the suit. But anyone on the outside will only hear grunts and mechanical noises. Of course Zero Suit Samus had to have a voice.

Dude, their taunts, they're supposed to be cocky. It's basically in-game trash talk.

You're supposed to be cocky! This is a competitive fighting game!

I agree with the people who say it doesn't fit. Samus isn't meant to sound like some Bond girl just because she's a fighting woman. They should've brought in Jennifer Hale to do the voice.

I dislike the fact that Samus talks (she and Link are my favorite "silent protagonists"), but I'm also glad that they at least didn't give her a high-pitched Japanese-y voice.

Now that I think about it, her voice is deeper than Link, Young Link, Mario, Luigi, and Ice Climbers'.

I fail to see how anyone can think the voice fits her perfectly. As the above poster mentioned, this voice is even lower than most of the male characters' voices...

Samus has never been a silent protagonist.

Anyway, I love this voice. I was expecting something like Riza Hawkeye-esque but this is perfect. By the way, her voice is provided by Alesia Glidewell. She put that info up along with that Krystal info before it was taken down.

Not only does she speak, didnt anyone notice that the player STARTED as her?
Nice voice though, would have been weird without them.

We've known about being able to play as her from the start since yesterday. You have to press a certain button depending on the controller you're using.

Yeah, I think what you have to do is hold down the A button, like what had to be done with Zelda in Melee to transform into Sheik right away.

R button, I'd say you were close but that fact is the only sticky on this board.
Also, ZSS's voice is wonderful, there aren't enough dusky-voiced femmes in the vidya.
