Dean Harrington is the | Dean Harrington is the second announcer in the series. He takes on a different inflection than Manning; Harrington yells more similarly to an emcee at a boxing match, with his phrasing often lasting for long periods of time, as well as a generally more intense voice than Manning's. Like Manning, Harrington's voice has an echo filter applied to it; other filters applied to his voice, however, cause Harrington's voice to have a more muffled tone compared to the other announcers. With the introduction of [[Crazy Hand]] in the series, Harrington also began a trend where the announcer also voices Crazy Hand. | ||
{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} | In the PAL version, when choosing {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, a different announcer will say the character's name when the game is set to German or French (the names being "Pummeluff" and "Rondoudou", respectively). The French version is a repurposed voice clip from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Stadium 2}}'', thus using the voice of Jean-Claude Donda, the French announcer of said game. The identity of the German announcer is, however, unknown. Unlike the English and Japanese versions, the French and German narration voice clips are very low in quality. | ||

{{s|wikipedia|Pat Cashman}} is the | {{s|wikipedia|Pat Cashman}} is the third announcer in the series. He ended Harrington's emcee style, and in general, his voice is considerably calmer in sound, more akin to Manning. Cashman's voice is not modified to the extent of Manning's or Harrington's, leading to cleaner sound quality from him; Cashman also has a deeper voice than either of his two predecessors. Cashman's voice also features more personality from the announcer, such as his quizzical inflection when the player selects {{SSBB|Luigi}} as a playable character. | ||
Outside of Cashman's voice, five other individuals voice the announcer in ''Brawl'', for the game's PAL and Korean releases. Achim Barrestein provides the German announcer, Carlos Lobo provides the Spanish announcer, Jean-Louis Faure provides the French announcer, Luigi Fantino provides the Italian announcer, and Choi Han provides the Korean announcer. | Outside of Cashman's voice, five other individuals voice the announcer in ''Brawl'', for the game's PAL and Korean releases.

{{s|wikipedia|Xander Mobus}} is the | {{s|wikipedia|Xander Mobus}} is the fourth announcer in the series. He acts and sounds similarly to Pat Cashman in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', with his voice being deeper than those of Manning and Harrington, as well as having few filters applied to his voice. Compared to Cashman, however, Mobus's announcer is less relaxed and reserved, though he still does not act as intense as Harrington. Some of Mobus's portrayals also bear similarities with Cashman's, such as a sinister tone when selecting {{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}. | ||
Mobus also provided his voice in the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza|50-Fact Extravaganza presentation for Nintendo Direct]], explicitly introducing himself as "the announcer" and proceeding to narrate the video. He also portrayed the announcer in an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLu7e8RZoYc overview trailer] for ''Ultimate'' in a similar manner to his performance in the 50-Fact Extravaganza. In this particular video, his voice is deeper than usual and has more of a "growl" when stressing key phrases. | Mobus also provided his voice in the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza|50-Fact Extravaganza presentation for Nintendo Direct]], explicitly introducing himself as "the announcer" and proceeding to narrate the video.
