How does this need to be cleaned? (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 06:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC))

"Placeholder clips" claim

In the SSB4 section there is a disclaimer under certain characters that seems to imply that the voice clips we have heard in gameplay so far for them are not going to be the ones used in the final game. This seems incredibly unlikely to me and has no source, so I really think it needs to be removed. It also boasts a few inconsistencies. We haven't heard Sean Schemmel as Lucario in any footage for the game, and since he didn't voice him in Brawl, whatever audio exists would have to be new. So why would it be re-recorded? This also applies to Fox and Pit's new voice clips that can be heard in E3 footage. There is also a huge error here regarding Marth's voice actor. Listening to audio reveals that Marth has the same voice clips that have been in use since Melee, yet we now have the claim that Spike Spencer, who voiced the character in a OVA from 1996, is now providing the voice. usually I would be saying this we simply need to wait until the game is out to add the credits proper, but this claim is seriously damaging the accuracy of this article and needs to either be validated through evidence or removed.

The voice clips we heard in the demos have mostly been recycled from Brawl (listen to Bowser's, Mario's, and Link's voices carefully in gameplay). Therefore, the information should stay because it's a much safer bet, especially considering that there's no way to know for sure what is and isn't final until the game is actually released (it's also more likely that those recycled voices will be replaced, but simply saying "not final", again, is safer use of words). Sean Schemmel confirmed on Twitter that he will be voicing Lucario in SSB4. Fox's "new" voice is Japanese, and he's bound to get an English one in the North American and PAL releases. Pit's, Sonic's, and Kirby's voices were all probably worked on before anyone else's, which could explain their appearances in the demos. The info on Marth can be removed since there isn't a confirmation (and it is thus speculation). Blue Ninjakoopa 17:49, 31 August 2014 (EDT)
I never questioned whether or not Schemmel was appearing in the game, but I was questioning why his presence in the game was listed as "placeholder". Fox's voice is also not Japanese. I've heard plenty of clips of him speaking in English, and it does sound like his 643D actor, so that shouldn't be labelled as placeholder eoither because it's brand new audio. I will be editing the Marth section and changing the phrasing if the note to be more accurate to what it was supposed to imply. The phrasing seems to have caused confusion. Do what you like with it if it doesn't suit your fancy, but since the game'll be out real soon, I don't think it'll matter too much Mr. Mittens (talk) 00:39, 1 September 2014 (EDT)

Voice Cast

Here's the real full cast of actors for the 3DS!

Sign your posts with four tildes (~), please. Anyway, certain characters on the list aren't even in the game, so I don't think that their list is entirely accurate yet. ScizorSteelix 11:26, 13 September 2014 (EDT)

Ridley has a voice credit. This has likely just been put together by overzealous fans. Play the game and have a look at the credits. That's the real listing. Mr. Mittens (talk) 11:29, 13 September 2014 (EDT)
