A Smashing Gift for NeoGAF

I'm kind of surprised Nintendo didn't impose any restrictions on the use of his SSB announcer voice in his contract. But I'm not complaining. Line 3 is incredible.

Considering they let Charles Martinet make all of those vines, they're probably not super strict as long as they don't endorse other products or things of that nature.

This is god damn amazing! Thanks, Xander!

We need to link the OT one in the Smash for Wii U OT.

I believe he's said in youtube comments that Nintendo does own the rights to his voice as a "character", so there are certain restrictions to what he can say. For example, he isn't allowed to say the names of any Nintendo characters, especially those with a chance and getting into Smash. He has said that because he's gotten a lot of requests for it, if "SUPER SMASH BROS FOR WII U" doesn't appear on the title screen of the game he'll do that for us.

I saw an interview where he says some of the fighters quite a bit. He also says "Chrom..will not be in this game".

This is amazing. Make sure you thank him a ton for everyone.

Is there any chance we could get a "SUPEEEER SMAAAAAAAAASH BROTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS"? You know, since the Wii U intro video doesn't have it?

That would be fantastic. But thanks regardless.

Did you ever see Charles Martinet's vines? He do this all the time. Relax man.
or maybe I missed something in your post? Sarcasm?!?

You can't be serious... LOL.

This is amazing though. So amazing.
 
This is AMAZING! :D

Thank you Xander for doing these, I truly appreciate you being so active in the fan community! :)

Here's one for you: can you attempt to imitate the N64 (Jeff Manning) and Melee (Dean Harrington) announcers? You said you were specifically told to imitate the Brawl (Pat Cashman) announcer, I would love to see if you could try those two!
