Japanese Victory Quotes

Well looks like they did it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGQJu5pCh_g

This is so badass... I wish Mewtwo had a voice in the English version too... grunts are nice and all, but it can't beat a badass voice... ;~;

 

[Volaro]

I just wanna know what he's saying lol. Same goes for Marth.

 

[NeoHippie41]

I just wanna know what he's saying lol. Same goes for Marth.

"Why am I here?"
"I cannot lose."
"Foolish"

Are the translations for Mewtwo I've always seen.

 

[DrRiceBoy]

I just wanna know what he's saying lol. Same goes for Marth.

"Watashi wa makeru wake niwa ikanai" = "I cannot lose"
"Orokana" = "Foolish"
"Watashi naze koko iru no naka?" = "Why am I here?"

This is what Mewtwo is saying. It's along these lines.

Edit: Ninja'd

the Japanese quotes are in this video, along with what Marth and Roy say. the quotes haven't changed from melee so it's still relatively accurate.

Alright, now, is there a way I can change my game language to Japanese? Not playing without listening to "Orokana".

No kidding. As for me, my favorite line is the first one he said in the video. I've always liked the Japanese voice of most of the Smash characters (spacies, anime characters, Pokemon, etc) more than the English voices, and after hearing Mewtwo's JP voice I like the JP voices even more. Really wish there was an option to switch to Japanese like in Melee.

 

[-TAG-]

This is what Dual Audio is made for, I mean seriously, even a person like me who doesn't speak or understand a lick of Japanese would find those badass sounding. Oh well here's hoping something like a Japanese voice option can be patched in so i can finally hear Meta Knight's JP voice.

 

[Dhillz521]

I'd gladly pay so we can switch voices.

 

[HakuryuVision]

*sigh* I can't believe they cut out his lines again. : /
It's not like he has an english VA in Smash4, and Marth also (still) talks in japanese.
Why cut out his victory quotes (-which, by the way, are friggin' bada$$)?

...oh well. His grunts and laughs are still awesome.

Same here.
1. Use the japanese quotes.
2. Translate it.
3. Have a feature like in Melee to switch to Japanese Or English.
Anyway FOREVER !
Really though 3 would be the best choice.

 

[GanonPawnch]

Uhhhh why do they do this?! D:
I do like our version of the second one though, with his badass evil laugh, so that's a plus I guess.
At least we get his voice even if it's not with voice clips. I like his English voice actor, but the Japanese version sounds so cold and badass.
Edit: Yes I know this is a different VA, but he replicates the Japanese one well, so.

 

[woopyfrood]

Sounds like they lifted the sound files directly from Melee.

Shame, I was hoping for his Japanese VA to return for a new rendition. I was also hoping he would have an English VA this time around. It's hard to be disappointed considering the fact that Mewtwo is in at all, but it still seems like a missed opportunity.

No The're Different. I mean he says the same things but I ensure you the're not riped from Melee.

 

[woopyfrood]

I've been comparing them back to back. The intonation and sound quality are the same, like it's the same decade old sound file.

 

[SleuthMechanism]

I still don't get why marth can speak in japanese but with mewtwo it's like "OH GOD NO! THINK OF THE CHILDREN! OAO"" as if japanese is some kind of terrifying plague. They really could have boosted the volume on his victory quotes though.

Can you show me ? (Sorry but I just can seem to compare them right.)

 

[woopyfrood]

I've just been playing the OP video and this video one after the other when the same lines come up.

[Indigo Jeans]

What the hell, that voice is terrifying

Anyway I just think it's sort of weird that they made Mewtwo refer to itself with "watashi". I was sort of expecting "ore" for some reason.

And for Mars they got Spike Spencer around. He worked in Awakening for crying out loud. Well, at least Mars speaks English in Codename STEAM. By the way, who voices him in STEAM?

 

[SleuthMechanism]

So just learned that mewtwo is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara in smash 4 rather than Ichimura. I have to say the guy does a excellent impression of ichimura's incredibly chilling and badass performances from the first movie and melee.

 

[Chiroz]

Hopefully some important Nintendo employee catches on and convinces the team to just introduce his Japanese quotes into the english version. It wouldn't be any extra work, just introduce the files.

As much as I want that to happen they would be better of with the voice switch.

 

[PRIZZA]

I play the Japanese version of Smash4 for this exact reason: the voice acting is great.

NEWS ! Orokana really translates to Foolish as seen here https://translate.google.com/#en/ja/Foolish.
And Fool translates to Damasu as seen here: https://translate.google.com/#en/ja/fool .
Just listen to both.
EDIT:false information ^^^.

Guess I was wrong. Without any background music from the game the difference in pitch between the two voice actors is made clear.

I'm assuming Ichimura is retired?

I don't think so. He's doing movies.

I was looking for a place to hear his voice without the victory sound, thanks.

Anyone else think the victory music is too loud? It is for Mewtwo's anyway, I think it's the way his voice is done, it's kinda hard to hear with the music.

 

[woopyfrood]

Weird. The connection between a character and its voice actor is a big deal in Japan. So much so that characters are sometimes redesigned or even excluded if their voice actor passes away.

I wonder why he was unavailable or unwilling to voice Mewtwo this time around. Maybe he's working in a movie, as you said?

 

[Dhillz521]

Just wait till hacking becomes a thing. (Mewtwo's Victory Theme Is In A Sepererate File From The Other Pokes As Shown In The Ryu And Roy Leak Which Is Comfirmed.)
This Is What I Would Change It To :

EDIT: GOOD NEWS Hacking Might Be Here Soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_qNaXnb20g
The Next Riivolution For WiiU. Which means.... JAPANESE WIN QUOTES ! (if someone finds out how to change the BRSAR.)

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Times like this make me glad I play the japanese version of the game. I wonder what is the reasoning behind not including the language option like in Melee, perhaps too much VA and content to handle?

Regarding Mewtwo's VA, Keiji Fujiwara, his other roles include Axel from KH; Tony Stark in the Iron Man anime; Maes Hughes in Full Metal Alchemist: and some other roles in the Gundam series. The range of some of the japanese VA never cease to amaze me.

I also heard from a friend that Masachika Ichimura is currently ill.

 

[MewtwoX825]

Sigh... Was Mewtwo not having an english VA really all about the controversy behind Femtwo and his original english VA from the first movie? I really don't see a problem with just giving him a new VA like they did with Fox and Falco (despite how horrible the former sounds).

They need to put the option to switch voices for individual characters between Eng and Jpn

Anyway I just think it's sort of weird that they made Mewtwo refer to itself with "watashi". I was sort of expecting "ore" for some reason.

What is ore?

 

[SleuthMechanism]

^a highly masculine pronoun to refer to yourself as. Watashi is the most gender neutral pronoun for "I". Atashi is the opposite of ore in how it is the highly feminine version of "I".Mewtwo also uses the pronoun "ware" at times in the film just because he is one classy mon.

 

[1FC0]

Mewtwo used watashi in Melee too.

Anyway what seems surprising is that Marth, aka the feminine version of Roy, does not use atashi. Or at least Lucina should use atashi since she is the feminine version of Marth and since she is his sister or probably something like that she should also be Japanese.

 

[SleuthMechanism]

Marth is a hero prince turned king. atashi would be very unfitting for his character, boku is used instead as it is a polite male pronoun inferring humbleness despite his status. Atashi honestly is extremely feminine and "cutesy" so don't expect most warrior characters to use it. Lucina i honestly half expected to use "boku" as she masquerades as marth for a good portion of her game.

Wow Japanese people must be really egocentric if they have so many ways to refer to themselves lol.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Not really, it's merely a cultural and idiomatic thing. Kind of how most of their adjectives and nouns lack a female and male form.

Also, only women use Atashi in place of Watashi so Marth is not gonna be using those.
