Glen-i Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Someone mocked up a nice little visual table showing the mostly English voice actor situation when it comes to Smash. Note that this refers to all 5 Smash games. So for example, even though Mario still reuses his voice clips from Brawl these days, they were specially recorded from Charles Martinet for Smash Bros Brawl. So it still fits in the first category. I like this kind of stuff because I'm a big nerd. The weird thing is that I'm normally not keen on Smash characters reusing all their voice clips from other games, but not with Banjo. I wouldn't have his voice any other way. Something about hearing his and Kazooie's N64 voice clips puts a big smile on my face. It's also interesting that they got the original male Robin voice to do work for Smash, but had to recast the female one. Wonder what happened there? Adam Howden as Shulk is still the best voice though. Edited December 15, 2019 by Glen-i 1 4
Jonnas Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Wait, I thought Sakurai cast himself as Dedede for Smash? Or did he also voice him in the Anime? They might also be mixing up Robin and Lucina. To my knowledge, Lauren Landa has always voiced default Female Robin, and Smash is no exception. But Lucina, who used to be voiced by Laura Bailey, is voiced by Alexis Tipton these days (due to a voice actor's union thing), and I think that includes Smash (even if it were Bailey in SSBU, they would have to use old clips) Edited December 16, 2019 by Jonnas 1

So yeah, he's the original Japanese voice. Naturally, he did some new recordings for Brawl. You might be right about Robin and Lucina, I didn't really look into that. It would explain a lot though. 1
S.C.G Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate goes mega-sized for its latest tournament Every character is Mega-Sized in this latest tournament so that you can reenact Godzilla style battles except with your favourite Nintendo or third-party characters. The tournament will start on Friday, December 20th and will last for three days. (Also, I just noticed... Page Sixty-Fouuuuuuuur!) Edited December 18, 2019 by S.C.G
S.C.G Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate spirits event 'Comfy and Easy to Wear' is now live This event will last for three short days so don't get too comfortable as some of these spirits surely won't be easy and might even wear on your patience. But it will be worth beating them to make your spirit collection complete again, until then you may find you're a few spirits short. OK, that's enough forced short references now, time to cut this post off at the knees. Still, a great theme for the last spirit event of 2019. 2
Jonnas Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Nice guy Sakurai, hosting a summerwear event right as the southern hemisphere summer is starting, even though he's such a northern hemispherer. What a guy! 1
Glen-i Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 The ironic thing about that event is that the title is a Pokémon reference, but all the spirits from that series don't wear shorts (Machamp wears Speedos, so it doesn't count), so there can't be any Pokémon ones there. 2
Glen-i Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) The next tourney category focuses on stuff introduced in Melee. I gotta say, I like the promotional render they did for it. Appreciate the effort put into recreating the original menu poses. That's the closest you're getting to Melee HD. Edited January 1, 2020 by Glen-i 4
S.C.G Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate hosts a Melee style tournament, starting today A little bit late on the news posting with this one (I was going to post it the other day) but in another way just in time because it starts today. Three day event, you can only pick Melee characters, stages and items... what's not to love? I even dug out the link to our original review for Super Smash Bros. Melee in the article so check that out if you like. A fantastic event to start Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's second year on the Switch and a good way to raise the series' profile in 2020. 1

(And what is that Decision Mode business? Something only included in review copies or something?) Man, reading old reviews is such a weird mental rush. It's like going bungee-jumping through time, vertigo included. 1
WackerJr Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Sakurai has posted some of the screenshots he’s taken during gameplay. I’ve always loved how inventive & creative the team have been in this and past titles, and his screenshots continue to show just how creative he is! https://gonintendo.com/stories/352063-masahiro-sakurai-shares-his-personal-smash-bros-ultimate-picture https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/01/gallery_masahiro_sakurai_shares_the_photos_hes_taken_in_smash_bros_ultimate 1 1

Ronnie Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Really hope we finally get a sword-wielding Fire Emblem character 1
Ashley Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Umm guys... Also while googling this I found this image as well and had to share. 7

Chrom didn't stop people's favourite character getting in. I'd be surprised if a Three Houses character didn't get in eventually though. Not now, but in the future. 1
Aperson Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 We'll probably find out before the livestream because it will get leaked if it hasn't already :/ Still excited to see who is going to complete Season 1 of the Pass though.

Or Viewtiful Joe, that would be rad.

You're like @Dcubed, he insists that if Capcom gets a new character, it'll be Joe. My argument is that Joe is about as niche as you can get. Capcom has way bigger series going on that still aren't in Smash. You're right about him being rad though.

It would be a nice way to honour the Capcom Fiveish. I don't really know many Capcom franchises but maybe Devil May Cry? 1
