Question for other mk fans...
Do you guys think if a character during fights or in their ending should talk in english with their nationalities accent or talk in their language ?

Example:
Scorpion was born and raised in japan (I think). If he was facing sub-zero they may talk in japanese or he could talk to sub-zero in english with an a japanese accent.

To get the idea accross if you have tekken 4 look at Howarangs ending and you will see Jin talk to Howarange with his Japanese accent.

Enjoy and just a thought. smile

Could be nice but somehow i think if skorpion said anything it'd make him less cool. Espescially if it were some cliched very deep voice japanese stull as seen in soul calibur, and most manga films.

That would be nice but scorpion wouldn't really have to talk. That's fine with me. Anyone else have any opinion on this ?

I dont like the idea really because this isnt a Jap game americans r making it. It would ruin the perpective of the game. Notice how Tekkan and Soul Caliber r both Jap or w/e games. I dont think its a good idea at all

I only hope they get good voice acting..
the idea of speaking japanese would be cool... and would fit nicely on nhow Scorpion only says "Come over here/ get over here!"

and in that case... Sub should speak chinese!!!!

although... this would not fit since they have always spoken english....

They need REAL voices in this game, not a punch of nerds that sound like maniacs when they get hit or killed.

Scorpion
His voice in MK4 was good

Kung Lao
He needs to have a cool-headed and an exciting voice. (sorta like RVD from WWE)

Sub-Zero
His voice was good in MK4, they should keep it

Baraka
make him sound like a monster, I did not approve of his voice in MKG

Mileena
I liked her voice in MKG, but it didn't fit her character. Make her sound evil not like a classy lady.

Johnny Cage
I hate his voice in MK4/G, make Johnny Cage sound like somewhat of an asshole.

Raiden
His voice was good in MKDA they should keep it

Quan Chi
I wan't the MK crew to keep his voice from MK4 that way I could keep laughing

Jax
Make him sound BLACK this time

As for everybody else, I wish they would stop making all thier voices wayyy too deep. Make them have character.

They should, it would make the game better, giving it more life. I thought the voices in Tekken 4 were good, and the same should be done for MK.

Deffinitly. It was kinda a bummer in MKDA to hear the same male voice for 15 differnt characters.

Sub-Zero should have a deep rugged voice.

Johnny Cage should have a normal voice pretty deep with an american accent he should talk with a style like Johnny Depp did in the movie "Once Upon A Time In Mexico."

Raiden- should keep his Deadly Alliance voice, or perhaps have Christopher Lambert do a voice for him.

Baraka- Has anyone heard the voice of the Penguin from Batman Returns? I have always pictured Baraka speaking like that. Should have a sound like he has spit in his mouth.

Frost- Has anyone heard the Assasin speak in Diablo II? Perfect voice for her, very slow but sexy and sleek true female assasin voice.

they need to get sum good actors, the ones in Mk4/g sucked so back. So the ending 4 Mileena/Kitana the beging they way they were acting made it seem like it was going to turn into a porn. Now actors in porns r so horrible lol

They may be Japanese games, but some of their characters have english voices.
Did that "ruin the perspective" of the games?

I think not.

It would be nice to have Scorpion say something in Japanese in-fight with a fairly deep voice. That would be nice. Having Sub-Zero speak some Chinese wouldn't be bad as well--and have the Outworld habitants and Edenians speak some made up language (Think Al Bhed from FFX).

It could add flavor and exoticism to MKDe. I like the idea, but it will most likely never happen. :\

It would be cool to see them talk sometimes:

Scorpion: Jappanese.

Sonya: Tough and sexy.

Cage: Deep and soft.

Rayden: C. Lambert.
