May: Sarah Williams

Millia: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Potemkin: Richard Epcar

Relius evil laugh is incredibly unnerving. Better than Terumi's by FAR.

[Solless]

I would like them to change Ky's VA. Liam did a good job in GG2 but personally it felt like his voice was really....I guess the term I want to use is disjointed. I know he likes to lay it on thick but back then was a bit TOO thick.

Troy Baker though was awesome as Sol.

Read up a little more and saw player nominations for Chris Sabat. I vote him for Axl actually.

Slayer's....a tough choice. Personally I would find some nice parallel between him and Dracula from Castlevania titles if Seitz did his voice.

Edit edit: Found the guy's name I would like to hear at least an audition as Ky: Michael Sinterniklaas. God that last one's hard to spell.

So we're going for some VA wishlist? Woot, let's see here:

*Characters from current loketest*

-Slayer: I'd freaking love Keith David here. How cool would that be? Sadly, chances of him ever being in an ASW game is nonexistent. So as backup I'd want Patrick Seitz using his Chopin (Eternal Sonata) voice if only because I know he doesn't need to do powerful characters that shout all the time. And if not even him, my vote goes to Travis Willingham.

-Axl Low: Jason Spisak or Bryce Papenbrook.

-Potempkin: Chris Sabat. The dude's voice just radiates "power". His Garland voice fits characters that look heavy and hit just as hard.

-Venom: I'd actually say Liam O'brien here. While I didn't hate his Ky voice in GG2, his voice isn't generally suited towards the "hero" characters (see Stahn from Radiant Mythology).

-Faust: Steven Blum provided he does his Orochimaru voice. It'd be creepy as hell which is generally the reaction I have whenever I see Faust on the screen.

-Ky: Grant George. Hey, heroes are heroes plus in general, he does sound like someone who is ultimately about peaceful resolutions but ready to fight if need be.

-Sol: This...is a tough one. Sol needs to be a lot of things: cynical, cocky, really fucking angry and often indifferent. And I am not sure I can find an alternative solution than Troy Baker/Matt Mercer at the moment. Or maybe D.C Douglas again.

-May: Laura Bailey. Just please don't try to sound like Luna (Platinum).

-I-no: Hellena Taylor. Have you heard Bayonetta? Yes? Then you know what I am talking about and why I said it.

-Millia: Ali Hillis. Now before you skin me alive, let me tell you that I genuinely love the sound of her voice and think fits her character pretty well (avoids contact, wants revenge, alluring). I'd have even put her as I-no but changed my mind at the last minute. The only other voice actress whose voice I love nearly as much and think would fit is Tara Platt.

*Characters not made (yet)*

-Zappa: Quinton Flynn. Like I said, he can do galloping crazy really well.

-Baiken: Karen Strassman or Erin Fitzgerald.

[HoudiniJr100]

Why am I th only guy that says doug stone should be slayer? Then again I also see willingham go for slayers voice too.

[LeDom]

VA Wishlist for Xrd eh? I'm down for that

Sol-Seeing that Troy Baker has basically gone union (safe for a few exception), I'd expect Matt Mercer as I often confuse his voice with Baker's anyway

Ky- Liam O'brien, he already did him in GG2 and his voice does fit the character

Milia- Tara Platt, she can pull a voice that would go well with Milia's nature (as pointed out, alluring, avoids contact)

May- Christine Marie Calbanos, she's good with youthful characters

Potempkin- I guess Chris Sabat would be nice, dunno if he has done much outside of Funimation though.

I-No- Jessica Strauss, I can picture Juri Han all over again.

Faust- Kyle Hebert. Definitely not outside of his range, pretty sure he'd be able to pull the ''creepy, but otherwise decent guy'' vibe.

Slayer- Tad redundant, but Doug Stone would probably be the best fit.

Axl Low- Robin Atkin Downes, but seeing this will most likely be non-union, I guess I'll say Sam Riegel for now.

Venom- Steve Blum but I know it's very unlikely.

[Agni]

Damn I WAS just about to bring up the idea of a hypothetical XRD dub

[Luminos564]

Can't believe I forgot about Chipp. I'm sorry Mr. President...wait, I live in Canada...I'm sorry Mr. Prime Minister. Anyway, I think either JD Cullum or Steve Staley would do a fine job here.

[Blade]

I'm going to not even bother with names, but sound-alikes. You pick the actors (since I have a bad memory)!

Sol: The guy who voiced Hellsing or the voice of Guts from Berserk.

Ky: The guy who voiced Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

A.B.A.: Any of the ladies from Disgaea might do.

Johnny: Whomever voices Yoshimitsu in Soul Calibur.

Millia: If Arachnid had an anime, that girl...if not, Elisabeth Mcglynn (Major from Ghost in the Shell).

Robo-Ky: Doesn't matter.

May: Rini from Sailor Moon.

Eddie: Whomever voices Milliardo Peacecraft in Gundam Wing (Zechs Merquise).

Dizzy: Hitomi's VA from Escaflowne.

Anji: This could be anyone...but I'm thinking that guy with the folding fans and white outfit in Full Metal Panic.

Slayer: Schwarz in Big O.

Testament: Relius' English VA.

Baiken: Freya's VA from Valkyrie Profile 2 I think.

Venom: Whomever is Archer's VA from Fate/Stay Night.

Jam: Anyone from DoA, lol

Zappa: Spike Spencer. lol

Chipp: Whoever voices English Terry Bogard would fit I think.

Bridget: Any of the ladies from Lucky Star.

Faust: The crazy android assassin in the pinstripe suit in Big O.

Potemkin: Anyone could do him, really...voice distortion and all.

Axl: One of the regular cops from Batman Arkham Origins could do him.

I-No: Urd from Oh My Goddess.

Kliff: Whoever voices Arthur in Ulimate Marvel VS Capcom 3.

Justice: Whomever voiced Valentine in GG2. lol

[HoudiniJr100]

Dan Woren.

[Tsuki Garyuu]

I'm going to not even bother with names, but sound-alikes. You pick the actors (since I have a bad memory)!

Challenge accepted (???).

Sol: Crispen Freeman or Marc Diraison

Ky: Sam Riegel

A.B.A.: I honestly don't know nor care who might fit ABA.

Johnny: Mitch Urban. Can't see why, but meh.

Millia: Which Arachnid? lol

May: Tracey Hoyt? Probably not gonna see her anytime soon.

Eddie: Brian Drummond. A nice fit, though he lives in Canada.

Dizzy: Kelly Sheriden. Ah, she was Sango. Also in Canada.

Anji: Never watched FMP, so I have no idea.

Slayer: +1 more for Michael McConnohie

Testament: Travis Willingham.

Baiken: Freya's VA from Valkyrie Profile 2 I think.

Venom: Liam O' Brien

Jam: Agreed...

Zappa: Spike Spencer. lol

Chipp: Mark Hildreth (Heero Yui). Canada. Unless you mean in the Maximum Impact games, then fuck that.

Faust: *cough* Crispin Freeman

Potemkin: Then you will love Patrick Seitz

I-No: Shannon Conley. Eek, she's in Queen's Blade

Kliff: Already answered. Dan Woren.

Justice: Wendee Lee

[ReynTime180]

I feel that Liam O'Brian would have been a better choice to play Kagura

[Jocelot]

I can't explain why, but whenever I picture Anji talking in my head he sounds like Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development.

Buuuuuuuut since that's NEVER going to happen, I think Kirby Morrow would do a good job with Anji.

[kibakirain]

Does anyone know where i can find samples of the BBCP English/Type A announcers?

[HoudiniJr100]

I can't explain why, but whenever I picture Anji talking in my head he sounds like Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development.

Buuuuuuuut since that's NEVER going to happen, I think Kirby Morrow would do a good job with Anji.

As much as I agree miroku a voice with anti fits...he's also part of the Canadian VA team.

[ReRe01]

I also see Kirby voicing the him as well.

[MikelAL93]

It seems that Chipp is now voiced by Yoshihisa Kawahara in Xrd, as the CV reads "川原慶久".

[Master Of Chaos]

Does anybody know what Terumi's win quote against Kokonoe is in english?

[Vulcan422]

It seems that Chipp is now voiced by Yoshihisa Kawahara in Xrd, as the CV reads "川原慶久".

http://ggxrd.com/character/chipp/

Looks like they couldn't get Takeshi/Gaku Miura back. Updating list.

[Master Of Chaos]

Man, I gotta say, I love Noel's new English "VS Jin" voice set. She's not scared, she's not begging him to stop in a whiny or panicked voice, she's just fierce and stands her ground. You can tell she's just done taking his shit.

Respect for Noel +1.

[Dawn of Musou]

Something that kinda bugs me is how Ragna doesn't have his Hazama voiceset against Terumi. Just feels like Arc was being pretty lazy and forgot to put that there.

[BlackYakuzu94]

That kinda bugs me too, its probably Terumi came so late and they didn't program it.

[Yazumatto]

I think Ragna calling Terumi a piece of shit and a bitch with his generic voice set is sufficent enough.

[Master Of Chaos]

I think Ragna calling Terumi a piece of shit and a bitch with his generic voice set is sufficent enough.

No, not really. Honestly, Ragna not screaming his lungs out and yelling curses at Terumi makes fighting him feel weird...Incomplete, I would say.

[BlackYakuzu94]

I think Ragna calling Terumi a piece of shit and a bitch with his generic voice set is sufficent enough.

he only does that in the Hazama voice set now, they patched it.
