ArcSys Voice Acting [This thread has rules now]

[HoudiniJr100]

Love the way new English dub Tager says "Power of SCIENCE!!" now. Really emphasizes the SCIENCE more lol.

I wish I could hear it... XD

[BlackYakuzu94]

Sena...what did they do to you....Laura Bailey why, why u do this.

[Tsuki Garyuu]

For some reason, the more I hear that, the more likely I won't be as disappoint when I hear it.

[BoltofShadow]

I was dissapointed too, but that's not Laura's fault, just bad voice direction.

[BlackYakuzu94]

On the bright side, Luna/Sena aren't in the plot that much with most of Plat's screentime being Trinity....and her angelic voice.

Which is all the more of a sucker punch to the player when they take it away . Silver lining? At least Luna's banshee shrill of a voice gets the boot .

And after watching Azrael's English Astral Finish, I keep thinking D.C Douglas only really missed the mark on the laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqPXKxalTTI. It just sounds much more subdued and calculating than his Japanese counterpart. Then again, with all the screaming and growling Azrael does normally, I can't imagine a booming, maniacal laugh would have done wonders for Douglas' throat .

It's still spot on to me. It's as if Douglas finally got a chance to cut loose when he never got to playing Wesker. Works well for a mad dog.

I think i need to refresh your memories of Resident Evil 5

Anyway, I'm lovin his VA work. I can't wait to get my hands on the english story for him.

Hmm, maybe it was the volume at which Blood Pain II was playing at. I know I couldn't even hear most of the Astral Heat quote from Azzy there outside the very sadistic "Have a taste...of the ULTIMATE DEATH". Actually, "sadistic" is a very good word to describe D.C Douglas' take on him, while Hiroki Yasumoto's is much more "battle frenzied". Not making the comparison to which is better mind you. Just that both of them excel at making Azzy sound a certain way to me.

[Kibafool]

I still love the way he says "Sufficient" when ever he techs in english.

[Luminos564]

If there was ever a time where I had to love the sound of Christina Vee's voice, that time is now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrQRbdTutTs. Talk about a noticeable confidence boost between Noel and Mu-12.

[BlackYakuzu94]

You'd have to be confident to fight like that.

But yea, I'm glad there's a noticeable difference in tone tone between Noel and Mu despite the former being in control.

[Tsuki Garyuu]

Just the confidence boost in Noel is enough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GnHdBGOSno

Edit: Speaking of boost, about time Doug Stone took a level in awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbGxomiiJmk

Hmm, well certainly more confident than in CT or CS, though I feel that while this Noel has some confidence, Mu-12 simply radiates it. Again, just my opinion.

But, let's finish off the academy trio.

Makoto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39ALDBU4bFM. Alright, while it still has that Makoto charm I feel the timing on BBS is far too hurried and kinda kills the mood. But I am more than willing to forgive that because Makoto now pulls a "C'mon, c'mon" like she's channeling Terry Bogard.

Tsubaki: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckcLO3_hA9c. The Evil-costume switch doesn't seem to have affected her all that much here. Outside of her Astral and the occasional line here or there, you don't get a really vindictive feel from her in battle. Still no real problems and I do like how she yells out "Disappear" when doing 22A/B/C/D.

Izayoi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MutERvdSilQ. Eh, I like it. Maybe it is a little too mellow for some, but I like it. There's really not much I can say really because I personally didn't find anything terrible or outstanding in there.

Relius Astral on everyone in English. It seems that everyone now has a specific response, like Amane's astral. Only this is more...Yea

Who uses BBS anyway? lol

I like it. At least they didn't change it like a certain ninja from Ikaruga. Terry's "C'mon,c'mon" had me laughing in a good way.

You mean their death cries? Doesn't look that way, although Ragna's response is pure gold.

Actually they seem to make a specific response after the door closes:

Noel says "She doesn't want to remember" etc. etc.

I vastly prefer her second voice track. I'm the kind of guy who thinks saying your move name is cheesy. Also, better OD quote: "Sucks to be you!" :3

And ''wanna touch my tail''. Overall, I still love her performance, fits the energetic nature character quite well. Literally the only voice I'm not liking is...well anyone can guess at this point. I recall Steve Kramer being able to sound a tiny bit like the original Bang in a few scenes in CSEX so I'm expecting improvements.

I guess story and battle are 2 separate monsters here. He may sound alright in story, but by far Bang Shishigami now has the worst english battle voice.

Even Hakumen sounds good and I didn't even like his voice in Extend.

I find his battle voice cheesy, so I dub kramer the "so bad he's good" kind of voice....he tried don't get me wrong...but Tony Oliver is still the ultimate bang

[ReRe01]

I agree with you on the fact Steve is ok Bang but Tony is better at Bang and will be always be Bang in my heart.

You know, I said I never cared about Bang's ENG VA but damn this is just a prime example of how a voice simply does not match the character. It's so jarring that using it to potentially infuriate your opponent (or at least break their concentration) may be considered an optimal strategy for Bang players . I feel bad for Steve Kramer. He's a great VA when in his element but here, it just makes the most vocal fans douse their liquid hate on him. I just hope he's at least tolerable for Story Mode.

like I said, he tried, but Tony Oliver is the better. I admit I do like his take on hurricane fury. which I belive he goes "wind,forest,fire,earth! Darkness! LIGHT!"
