-"Potemkin, after I consulted with the Elder Gods they gave you a new mission, you have to stabilize Outwolrd and stop it from invading Earthrealm" -"I'm sorry President Gabriel but I think you are in a different game"
Considering this the same person who did the BBTAG Voice Direction, I'm glad its going the same direction. Sol's voice is still ehh to me but the direction this time makes it somewhat better. Ram doesn't sound like monotone as hell (ik that was what she was in Xrd but you can do an emotionless voice and not make it sound boring) and since those 2 I say were the worst in Xrd dub this a bang. I do wish Liam came back as Axl but still no major blehs lines. And I-NO calls you a bottom bitch when she throws you so this shit is 8/10 just because of that.
I don't know why people keep toning down a super edgey and cool protagonists voice direction by telling them to voice act like they're in a library. I want my gravely, deep, and oppresive voice acting for Sol godamnit!
@@Iwatoda_Dorm to be fair thats kind of what his actor is going for, he’s just balancing it out by having a more thoughtful and deep way of speaking which reflects the fact that Sol is still an absolute genius who’s always got his mind on something
@@alanzapreservationtheythem2861 That's actually a remarkably good point, if the VA was given a script that says "violent buff guy that's also a scientist", this voice fits really well. buuut damnit if the JP voice isn't iconic though
@@BlazeLibra yeah he pretty much did: you can tell in the story mode as well as in his interactions with characters like Nagoryuki the president, and most recently Jack-O: while he’s an awesome bastard who punches his problems away with sheer force, David Forseth’s take on the character is adding to the fact that he’s very hard at work up in the ol noggin no matter how much dumb fun his fighting style and immortality encapsulates: which is especially why his attack calls are so unique, it’s essentially a way to show that Sol is going all out as he’s straining himself and pushing out his power to its very limits (even if lines like Bandit Revolver are moreso a warning for what’s coming which is why it sounds significantly more loud and relaxed by comparison). And yeah I feel ya, it’s honestly hard to pick between the depth and complexity of the dub and the OGs sheer rule of cool: especially since both are fantastic at providing the raw feeling of Sol, just in different ways
Given that Lucien Dodge was pretty vocal about how rushed XRD -SIGN’s- dub was, kinda makes sense -STRIVE’s- would be better, now that ASW has an NA branch and likely gave them more time and effort, like they did with BBTAG.
I came in expecting to be disappointed, but I like most of these. I find that it is hard to like English voices for characters that I first heard as Japanese, but this one gets my seal of approval (I'm on the fence about Axl, but 14/15 is pretty good). Their take on Giovanna is not what I was expecting at all and I like it. Zato is hilariously monotone (in a good way to be sure) and Leo sounds exactly how I would've thought he'd sound without a German accent. I-No is something else entirely... I could consider using this as opposed to the Japanese VAs if I'm being honest.
I do like Sol's voice whenever there's story stuff going on, it's in combat where I have some issues he doesn't do enough to sound on par with Nakata or Daisuke or enough to make the role his own. I'm pretty happy with it overall and am glad to see quite a few voices come back.
@@Hellscrap3r Yeah, I think Chronus was honestly the best role he had in Xrd. I think the cheesiness works for Axl simply by design but it does take some effort to get used to. Overall the cast is pretty damn stellar if you ask me. I especially appreciate David Forseth dialing it back a bit. I always felt like he was a great Frederick, but a bad Sol.
Ky's Va in MK11: Who are you Ghost? He who shall not be named. Return to yout deathly hallows It's great to hear Sean doing a normal voice. Noob's voice is stuck in my head
Some of them I really like and some I really don't. I wish you could swap it per character like in Street Fighter 5 or UMvC3 instead of having only one or the other, which is the only reason I'll be sticking to the Japanese dub. Overall though, the English dub ain't bad and I'm glad it's here.
I mean, what do you expect when you get an American to do a British accent? It's the same as a Brit doing an American accent; it's gonna sound way too forced.
@@benchem1954 Of course, I'm agreeing with you. It's more so just me expressing my frustration. I hate that he gets given that "Bri'ish" accent people mock us for.
I'm lovin everyone's voices! It's rare that you get a good dub nowadays... Ramlethal is a bit too animated in her voice, she should be trying to sound a bit more monotone. Anji's voice was unexpected, I thought of him as having a slightly higher pitch. I'm sure that Axl's voice actor had a lot of fun with his accent XD Zato getting stabbed by a gigantic shadow sword: Oh no the pain. I-No sounds actually sexy. That's a big achievement.
Well Ramlethal had a LOT of character growth and a better understanding of emotions since xrd; So it makes sense she would sound more like a human and less like a machine.
I think that is because the lines didn't fit their interpretation of the character voices ...like the Faust they are going with sort of his design being creepy so they are going with a sinister creepy voice as apposed to a lost broken man with hints of his former self (which is how the subtitles portray him)
I'd assume it's because the subs are the "literal" translation, while the dub has been modified to sound "natural" to English speakers. Don't quote me on that; despite being a native speaker, I'm not that good with English.
thats because the subtitles dont have to worry about matching the mouth movements, what bothers me is that they dont use the dub as the subtitles like in xrd

Nice to hear some of the Xrd Sign cast reprise their roles. As a Brit though I will say this, Axl's British accent is shit.
