Favorite fighting game announcer

I’m so prepared to get negative reputation for this one since Super Smash Brothers 64 had a freaking hype announcer. The semi-metallic echo effect was utterly amazing and the way he screams out “CAPTAIN FALCON!” is just way too good. The Super Smash Brothers series will never get an announcer of his quality ever again. :sad: “FREE FOR ALL!!”

My personal favorite announcer was the dude for Guilty Gear X2, XX #Reload, and XX Slash. I can’t believe they ditched the guy for whoever did Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. :bluu: Oh well. "HEAVEN OR HELL; DUEL 1, LET’S ROCK!

I also agree here with the guys who liked the Capcom vs. SNK 2 announcer. His lines were over-the-top as they were, but his presentation sealed the deal for him! "THIS BATTLE IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE! GO FOR BROKE!!

Those three (or two if you REALLY insist that Super Smash Brothers isn’t a fighter) are my top picks for best announcers.

Not enough love in here for the SS announcers.

AAAHSQUAYKU!!! (“Earthquake”)

And, Soul Blade announcer had dignity.

63

CvS2, no question.

SF4 is growing on me though.

64

probably gonna get a lot of hate for this: SSBM, and GGXX:AC. I just think the Accent Core guy is hilarious and amazing, I love him and that vaguely awkward vibe he has going on.

tekken 4
street fighter 3 (NG,2!,3s)
marvel vs capcom
Guilty Gear(PS1)
jojo BA
tekken tag arcade

66

I can’t believe how much hate is on Super Smash Bros.

Anyway, my favorite announcers:
Tekken 2
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Mortal Kombat 2
Capcom vs SNK 2
Street Fighter 3rd Strike
Tekken 6 BR

67

Lack of Killer Instinct in this thread is upsetting.

68

Hmm… I do like the SF4 announcer, because he is genuinely funny, but this new SSF4 guy sounds like he could be fairly hype. Love his KO announcement.
The Alpha 3 dude wasn’t really an announcer but that guy was REAL. “Can you find your way to the glory?” “Can anybody stop this fighting machine?!” Fffffffff.

In general though I do prefer announcers to limit themselves to Round X and KO’s.

69

Best announcer in any fighting game, hands down.

Shao Kahn UMK3

71

earlier GGXX
cvs2
a3

all of them were hype and clean.

72

My top 3:

MvC1
KI
MK series

73

3rd Strike
Hokuto No Ken

manly and minimal.

74

the original sf2 guy.
“round one, fight!” is burned into my memory like a smell.
i laugh so hard when people make youtube videos with that soundbite.

75

SF2 CPS1 - started it all
Mortal Kombat II - possibly the best sounding announce
Tekken Tag - Tag Battle! Fight!
MSHvSF - SHINKUU TATSU MAKI SENPUU KYAKU!!!

Others are passable.

Ones that I absolutely hate

SFIV - “Whooaoao!!!” STFU noob.
SFA3 - Along with the bad music I hated this shit.
KOF girl - "LEADY? GOOOAH! “LOUND TWO-dah, FOIGHT!”

76

lol shit omfg yes

77

Screw SNES, it’s all about KI Arcade:

“ULLLLLLTTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COOOOOOOOOOOOMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

78

Virtua Fighter 5. They actually say the characters’ names. It was so good, I got confused on if it was a real-time fight or not.

  • SC(Dreamcast) comes next. How the hell can your soul burn?! I don’t follow that at all. if my soul was still burning, why ain’t it stopping, dropping and rolling like I would?

And I’m out…

79

Soul Calibur…"Welcome…to the stage of history"
Guilty Gear 2 Overture…she sounded pretty.
SF3: Third Strike
Tekken 6
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure

World Heroes Perfect.

KoF: MI Regulation A…dude was awesome.

80

SFIV is probably my favorite.
