@HeavyMetalBeliever I know at least that all of the occidental characters are speaking English (or Tigerish for King). As for Asians, I don't know, although Xiaoyu is speaking Japanese (I googled it).
@newguy90 I know but the VF2 voice was actually less annoying and it's not the 90's anymore. Japanese developers for the most part elsewhere have gotten better at understanding bad voice acting
@TheGarcia350 Yeah, you're right. I miss his VF2 voice, much better imo. He had a young guy's voice in VF2 of course, but it sounded more mature than the current one. :)
Thought Lion was supposed to be French? I demand the French accent!! I like his character conception but yeah his voice sucks... I actually prefer the VF2 voice and I thought that sounded too young. It seems Lion managed not to hit puberty... EVER.
I love this game, but at least 90% of the voice acting is horrible or annoying. The rest is just okay. Though, the intro and end battle animations are well done.
As a Lion player I personally think its funny such a lame sounding weak looking little guy turns up and then starts to kick a lot of ass :) - jsu tmake me laugh a lot :)
I hate his voice and phrases "Im twice the man I use to be" you sound like a teenager
"what a knuckle head" that sounds like a child phrase too. Sega may not think these things matter but they matter A LOT It is very very very very..... annoying
Lion is a pretty cool character and his fighting style is as well, but I really can't wait for the day his balls and voice drops and he becomes all around cool.
When he first started out inj VF2, his voice was fine, but when they changed all the voices in 3, that's when we got some good voices, and Lion's horrible one. But it does fit his personailty. He and Brad are the cocky characters of the roster.
What a knuckle head is great. But now I like "Yeah! I'm TWICE the man I used to be!" and the animation is awesome too! Lion is my favorite and main fighter on LIVE.
Virtua Fighter series.. The most Horrrible Voice acting in all of video gamming...... Except' for the japanese voices that fit so well with the characters lol.
Is Lion supposed to be a fruity Jonathan Taylor Thomas lookalike with a whiny voice? I've never quite figured that out even though he was my favorite character in Evo.
Lion sets off my Gaydar, but I like him. I wish they would've kept the 'Why am I so great?!' quote. I loved that one. The 'I'm twice the man I used to be' makes me laugh, because... Vanessa's STILL more manly than him.
Lion dance like Eddy Gordo from tekken
