The one guy has a voice liked he just woke up with a hangover. That or he just [insert blowjob joke here.]

Well, Street Fighter has always been about both ryu's quest to find the path of the true warrior, and also his struggle to not be consumed by the Dark Hadou. So I don't think that this is too deep or very far at all from Street Fighter's core principles.

That said, yes the voices are really terrible. I found Akuma especially hilarious.

And while we're on the subject, hey Capcom--Street Fighter is not Sun Tzu's Art of War, okay? It is a fighting game. Where people punch luchadores, green fur-covered men, and Japanese schoolgirls, at that. No one needs some kind of bullshit examination into the human psyche here, and no one wants it,.either. What was the problem with the tournament idea? Was that not deep enough for you? Look, you're making a game so kids can beat up people of various ethnicities and not get thrown in jail. Do not get all pretentious about it.

...I think I love you.

Well. That was excessively long.

I think that we could have gotten by without having a sample of each fighter's crappy voice.

Gouken sounds familiar....

Anyways, some of the voices I can do without. But don't worry. You ARE aware that you can adjust individual character voices once you beat the game with them, right? So some I may keep in English, some in Japanese. For example, you HAVE to have Ryu in Japanese. Have you heard what he says for the Hurricane Kick? Seems only native Japanese people can say "Tetsumaki Senpukyaku" quick enough, so English speakers get a forced "HRAAH!"
Anyone else notice that this is the first time ever (including in anime) that the characters use their respective accents? The only ones that bother me are the Asians. What, is usuing a broken English Japanese accent too offensive? We have Spanish, Mexican, Russian, even British.... but we ca't impersonate Japanese accents?
Still, the video psyched me up even more to play the game. Long time and die-hard Street Fighter fan here.

Well, after twenty years, you just know the characters are going to wind up developing some sort of background. Everything looks about like normal Street Fighter to me here. You have played since SFII came out on the Super NES, right Rob?

As for voices, they don't seem so bad to me, though some of the yelling and accents seem a little forced. But maybe I just haven't heard anything better for Street Fighter...

...except the old Saturday morning cartoon, that is. It's a notch or two higher for Bison alone, there.

I remember when I saw the Jean Claude Van Damme "Street Fighter" movie in theaters, and read the Malibu "Street Fight" comic books, I felt betrayed by how much they strayed from the Street Fighter canon. I didn't think about how non-sensical the actual "plot" to the Street Fighter game was. Sure, it seems cool when people are beating the snot out of each other, but when you take a step back and think, "Why are they fighting? What do they even win? Why doesn't Ryu own shoes if he's always walking?" Any plot you could attach to this scenario will be ridiculous in proportions, because it'll involve a international terrorist leader known as M.Bison who has the mental powers to project himself across a room in a firey cork-screw attack, but not the mental powers to know that inviting the few people in the world who could probably beat you up to come and beat you up is probably a bad idea. Even WWE wrestlers have more sense than that.

I'm confused, why is the final boss an evil Dr. Manhattan? Also, why does Fei-Long refuse to repeat himself?

Anthony, to answer your questions:
Seth, your "Evil Doc Manhattan," was in charge of Shadaloo's weapons division. Through the years, he secretly used the weapons technology to turn his whole body into a pure weapon of power. That's why he has no features and is essentially nude.

As for Fei-Long? Ehh..... maybe because they wanted him to sound tough? You're on your own for that one...

Akuma's voice is the worst.

Sagat is voiced by a Michael Duncan sound-a-like.

I find Dan's English voice pitch perfect for the role and more hilarious than the Japanese one in every aspect aside from the "Oyaji!" death cry. The english Dan sounds like such a dufus ;) The ability to mix-and-match voice tracks is appreciated.
