That's weaboo speak lol. David Hayter owns the role as snake and Black Lagoon as a whole has been claimed by the creator himself to be better in English, Not to mention Steve Blum and Liam O'Brian perfectly nail their rolls as Spike and Garra.
To add and further prove Robojoe's point from earlier, such feats of dubs being as good or surpassing the original language are few and far between.

Before those anime even hit, the same could be said for very few anime in the 90s, particularly a little known OVA series called Key the Metal Idol and more popular ones like Ranma 1/2 and Galaxy Express 999, all which were voiced by the "golden age" of the Ocean Group, which was known for many quality dubs at the time along with experienced voice directors (when they weren't planned to be butchered on TV) before a few others started making names for themselves.

So maybe it really is a matter of the voice director's passion and whether or not the actors will deliver accordingly. That said, to stay on topic, I want Kari Wahlgren back for Kasumi's role, and Zinnia Su to reprise her role as Leifang while her current VA - Cassandra Morris - moves to Marie Rose. The latter seems more fitting for a loli's voice anyway.

I'm really curious who they'll get to do the english voice for Marie Rose. First name that comes to mind is Tara Strong considering her history of voicing little kids and doing video games (she was the main character in Lollipop Chainsaw I think?) I'm not sure she'd be right for the role but she definitely knows how to rock every character she gets.
Nah she already voices Rachel and every other character in the world I'm tired of her voices tbh.

TARA STRONG VOICES RACHEL?

MY RACHEL?
THE RACHEL?
MISS VIGOOR?????
QUEEN RACHEL?
MY BLONDE HAIRED GLAMAZON GODDESS??????
She isn't in DOA5U, she's voiced by Erin Fitzgerald. She was voiced by Tara in Ninja Gaiden though.

Are we just not accounting for how profoundly awful the voice acting is in games like this anymore? Now, were we to merely be apathetic and say "Fuck it, it's a fighting game," I'm down with that, fine. But mining for nice things to say about what is clearly some journeyman VA with no rightful future in the industry just phoooning it in hardcore? Why? We have come way too far to settle for this cringe-worthy drivel. To see where I'm coming from, observe how people speak and emote in a critically acclaimed motion picture (Live action or animated, for that matter) or other video games (The Last of Us comes to mind), for fuck's sake. Now listen to the cringeworthy acting in DOA, Dynasty Warriors and countless other titles and ask yourself: is that what people sound like? Wooden-- so devoid of even the slightest semblance of feeling that I've learned to tune it out as white noise over the years ... maybe I'm asking too much but is it so hard for our VA's here to give at least half the effort to our beloved fighting game characters as they seem to in Japan? This is also why I just don't even fuck with dubbing when I watch movies. /rant, sorry haha
i'm so happy we have people like Steve Blum and Cristina Vee. The Vas I have met actually give a damn about their work and don't try to half assed things. i can see where you're coming from man.Edit:Erin plays Rachel?! the vocie of chie in p4a?! Wow...she is godlike.

Leon's new JP VA is the guy who voices Alucard in Hellsing. I thought it would be funny if they cast Alucard's English VA for Leon's English VA for shits n' giggles, but oh well.

I really wish I could get my hands on Marie Rose, there's some possible combos I wanna try out involving that weird side jump triple spin kick as an ender. Maybe that triple slap side jump triple spin kick after launch.

Ahahaha, I hate not knowing the inputs... describing it is somewhat hard without know the input of the move or it's name.

By triple slap side jump I mean~ 30 seconds into the video.



By triple spin kick I mean~ 5 seconds into this video.


^ I'd want to try getting that spin kick in all my combos with Marie Rose. It looks cool to me.

Give Zack an Alpha form TN. Give him rapid kicks and attacks. And make everything +20 on block.

And while they're at it, make an Alpha Helena where BKO duck crushes lows and handslaps does 7 hits instead of 3 for 7 times the normal damage. :)

On topic though, I like Marie's C1 the best. Her C2 is nice but it just looks a little weird. It reminds me of Alisa's battlesuit from Tekken.

I find it strange that you can only do one move off of Minuet (and it's -21 to boot.) Is it possible that the location test moveset is not final?
Also, why are the damage on her expert holds so low?
