VF5 Announcer

Has anyone notice that the AI announcer seems to hype up simple moves, yet remains silent on moves that most people would consider cool?
With Lau I frequently pull out combos that reduce my opponents life by half. With no commentary. But I tell you what, if Akira does one knee-- then the announcer is like KNEEE!!!!!!!! and can barley contain himself.

 

It's because he gets so damn excited over the combo that it overwhelms him and temporarily causes him to black out for an instant. When he awakens, the combo is over, so he must move on to other exciting moves like the Knee.

 

Sounds appropriate for the rarity of the move... if lau even hits me, I tend to lose half my life. But the last time I can remember even seeing Akira's knee was when I sat around in dojo mode for a half hour practicing it just to prove it wasn't completely impossible.

 

You see, the true secret is that they put PCP inside the announcer's water. What you don't see is after he screams Knee he rips up the set and starts shouting All Day, All Day like Kimbo Slice.

 

It would be cool if the announcer was like- "Player 2 just got knocked the fuck out!!!!" instead of "that was a good one" or whatever.

 

We should have the option to have El Blaze on commentary!

 

hahahaha, that would be hilarious, you deliver.

 

I would even sign a petition for that!

 

Then maybe they can have "guest" announcers (which would just be the characters). You can choose "random" in the options menu or choose a certain character...or the default "regular" guy (you have the guy who calls out moves (let's call him Bob), and the other dude, who the characters would replace).

Beat Quest mode with 3 characters and unlock Dural!

Bob: KNEE!!!!

Dural: *heavy metallic breathing*

Bob: I totally agree.

Dural: *even heavier metallic breathing*

Bob: Now let's not get vulgar here. There are children playing this game.

Dural: *censored heavy metallic breathing*

Bob: Now that's just totally inappropria- OMFG!!! KNEEEEEEE!!!!!

 

James Earl Jones would be a sweet announcer.

 

The announcing was recorded long time ago. I just find it funny when the commentator yells "MAXIMUM DAMAGEEE!" when it should in fact be something like "bog standard damage" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

Maximum damage reminds me of MK4 lol. I vote Bubb Rubb for next announcer. "Akira was all like whoo whoooooooooooooo, know what I'm sayin?"

 

But please, NO Michael Buffer. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

What about one of the announcers from

Ninja Warriors (Japanese voice) and English Subtitles

AH! Sayonara PAI CHAN SAN

 

Pai saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

 

i say we combine some of the best suggestions from here, and have a two-man commentating team of james earl jones in vader-mode and chris tucker in smokey-mode.

and maybe that dural idea as well . . .

the ninja warrior guy wouldn't be as cool 'cuz at no point would he have a reason to yell "jumpah-haaanguuu!!!"
