Wasn’t triumph or die from Alpha bruh?
Alpha 3 is GOAT announcer and this isn’t up for debate.
@Fatal1ty_93_RUS You had the announcer wrong. This is the right announcer

Forgot to put in Alpha
Alpha 3 had the best announcer.
If you disagree with this, there’s probably something seriously wrong with you.
Or didn’t play A3.

Ya’ll are bad people only playing SFIV and stuff.
Nah.
The thing is, 3s is currently alive in America through the efforts of a small group of people running our events, and a moderate sized group of people traveling to them. but these things are only possible because we are piggybacking off of majors, and majors only exist in the form that they do if we have a couple Capcom games drawing big numbers. I don’t think anyone in the 3s community can afford to rent out our own venue 4 times a year.
In addition, while some of us literally only travel to play 3s (I’ve gone to Evo twice, Summer Jam once, and Tokyo once in the last 2 years just to play 3s, and will go to TFC this year for the same reason), there’s a decent amount of people who like 3s but also really travel to play multiple games. There’a also people who aren’t generally “tuned in” to the 3s community enough to know when we’ll have streams but will tune in when they were already watching Final Round and Sabin tweets that he’s running a 3s side stream. Ironically, even though Final Round probably featured the weakest level of play of all majors (none of the American big dogs came and only a few mid tier guys went), it is by far the most watched 3s stream this year besides coop cup. All because Sabin, an FGC head, streamed and tweeted about it.
So even though the core of the community, who keep playing and keep organizing tourneys deserve respect, I definitely feel that SF5 doing poorly now would be bad for our long term prospects.
Alpha 3’s announcer was good, but SSF4’s is still #1 for me.
Out of the fighters who’s announcers I’ve heard (not counting the more generic ones like SFxTK/SF5), if I had to rank them:
SSF4
Soul Calibur II
SFA3
SSBM
CvS2
SF4 (Vanilla)
The other Smash games (they all tie for me)
Soul Calibur V
Third Strike
Just had a pretty exhilarating ~30 game set against an Ultra Gold Laura. The game is so good when you can just fucking play it.
Vanilla SF4 announcer is going to be one of the most underrated of all time. That dude had a pleasant voice and got to say cool things. Almost felt like the son of the CvS2 announcer.
Calm down, and Shine on
Yeah he wasn’t bad. I don’t know why people like Super announcer. He sounds derp.
From now on I’m going to imagine that all the SF announcers come from the same family.
Best part about the CvS2 and Vanilla SF4 announces is that they sound like they were just walking buy and saw all this shit go down. Best CvS2 comment is him complaining about who let these people into the tournament. After Vanilla the new announcer just made all the lines sound like. His voice didn’t really fit the comments.
The F-zero 64 announcer was hype as fuck
I’d commit suicide
CVS2 announcer is still the shit
SSF4 is the voice of Leo Whitefang so that automatically makes him the shit
Anyone wanna play some matches?
