No no, i do think he’s a selfish jerk lol. But i do think sean does a decent job portraying him as being an idiot who really only cares about training over everything else.
Ive put over 4000 dollars into their gacha games and own a 7000 dollar db collection, so i would hope im familiar with the franchise, but who knows.
all of kirikos interactions are either cringe or flat
also wdym, the nana u better behave is cute. i didnt see it naughty
they both get up to trouble
this tho
can we have ONE boomer who doesnt do this to us plz, IRL or video game " i dont understand your generation" he says to multiple millenial aged characters
like, ok boomer
Ouch.
I used to be a field tech/cable guy/internet repairman. I’ve seen some expensive collections, including Dragon Ball stuffs. One home, it was a married couple covered in Dragon Ball Z/Super merch with countless figurines all over their den, and at one point in my visit, one of them asked the other (and I quote),
“Hey, what they ball things? In Dragon Ball Z? They ball things. What they call?”
I won’t say you aren’t familiar, but money isn’t a reliable measure of familiarity.
Any voicing would do that if the script said “hey, let’s train” over and over. That isn’t Schemmel’s doing. All he adds is “hero-man voice as organic as a mcdouble.”
Similar note, even the original writing for GT is better, and it’s dry as hell. Half of Gokuu’s script is “waku waku!” (“excited!”) 
Mcree is pretty much a caricature of spaghetti westerns
To be honest I also think english Goku sounds like a super hero. Not a jerk, not an annoying character, he just sounds like a DC Hero instead of Goku. I like his voice tho.
Soldier: 76 was born in 2021…
His generation doesn’t even have a name yet.
sigh I miss dragon ball z goku.
This one ^^^
Junkrat just a smol baby who wants to make friends and blow things up, there’s nothing wrong about that >:(
The thing about Super that annoys me most is that the characters are actually acting like individuals again, to some extent, but they just keep recoloring things to feed sales from the short attention spans of the mass consumer audience.
There’s, like, this double mental shield around the franchise where the non-stupid people in the world can’t take an interest because of the terrible first impressions, but the stupid people are too stupid to take an interest in the fun stuff and just focus on “power levels” that aren’t even numbered and the stupid recolors that go with them.
2015 was a fun and promising year. It was nice when they said “no more recolors or lazy power-ups.” Here we are, like, twelve recolors later.
I’m going to bend this and agree. Schemmel’s voicing is painfully inorganic; he flattens anything to the point where it doesn’t sound like a character at all. It sounds like “I’m here for a check.”
Lotta people mistake effort for skill or talent with him, too. His “famed” super saiyan 3 screaming thing where he spent himself too much and passed out? I can’t deny credit to the effort, but it certainly doesn’t sound any less manufactured. 
And the guy’s been on a high horse this whole time. When was it, 2005? Guy said he didn’t care about the role until the super saiyan debut in the series (orange brick set), and now he goes on about how “the character and I are one.” Says a lot about how much he knows and cares about it.
I mean, not to toot my horn, but I’m at the point where I hate what a person does, not the person themselves, but the guy is a freaking test.
I think his voice just doesnt fit Goku, he is too stoic and makes him sound like Captain America. Its not like he had a bad voice or It was monotone. Its just that Goku is suppossed to be innocent and childish, even impulsive. His voice makes him look like if he doesnt give a damn about anything like if he was so confident he didnt care, when in fact Goku is honest and easily impressed by anyone strong. Goku enjoys dragging out fights because he enjoys fighting so much it costed It many loses because he wants to see what the enemy can offer instead of ending quick, but his english VA makes It look like if he was going all in for the kill instead of “playing” (the whole essence of Goku lol). Id say his voice would suit more someone like Picolo or even Jiren, someone more serious instead of a dummy. Its like if someone suppossed to be really passive or stupid surprisingly had a very deep and pretentious voice and he talked like an smarty.
I find it hilarious how Cassidy is basically hitting on every female character and getting turned down time and time again. Most recent one I came across was Cass+Ana
“Hey, you wanna come with me to the practice range someday?”
“There are plenty of moving heads in the battlefield”
“…I’ll take that as a no then”
I like “it’s go time”
The problem with Schemmel as a voice actor altogether - purely performance, not as a person - is that he’s got some talent, and a distinct enough voice to notice it at least 80% of the time, but he has absolutely no intent to make the voice sound natural. Ever. He doesn’t bring life into any character he’s ever played.
Maybe Black Doom in Shadow the Hedgehog, but anyone can groan into a mic and get three or four filters stacked on it.
Simple example, his “laugh.” That’s not a laugh. It’s a step below “wow, that joke reeeeeeeeally sucked, but I have to be nice and laugh.” I can’t stress enough how forceful and unskillful he is. Not many things make me wince to the point where it physically hurts.
Have you heard Sean’s natural voice? Comparing that to his “acting,” you’d never guess it was him. I don’t disagree, though; if he kept his natural, lightly-coarse voice and only pushed into that warbly range he always freaking uses as a form of expressing character stress in screams of pain or effort or things of that nature, he would honestly not be bad for Piccolo.
It kinda goes without saying that they haven’t replaced him because of the way entertainment media consumerism works. The U.S. is a considerably larger demographic than Japan, and I mean… you don’t need me to tell you how disgustingly low that bar is.
I don’t especially care for MasakoX’s voicing for TeamFourStar - especially with Gohan - but they at least capture the childish idiot aspect of it. It feels bad that they felt a need to hold the audience’s hand to let them know how selfish the character really is, but at the same time, that’s really an audience that needs it. For that matter, it’s nice to come across someone that knows Gokuu just wants to play all day. It’s like he’s there to sample the “flavor” of each opponent. Makes sense. The 22nd tourney is such a defining point for the franchise and easily where it peaks in terms of action.
I agree for the most part, but I think it’s important to keep in mind that her voice actress has a Japanese bloodline, but she was born and raised in the states.
I think the main issue is a tonal difference rather than a performance issue. She doesn’t need to have the stereotypical ingurishu accent that comes from natively speaking Japanese, but the basic English she does speak is too tonally perfect. Like, it’s more guttural, where Japanese is a more nasal language, hence the extreme dynamic in tone between Kiriko’s Japanese and English.
If the gal who voices her had been raised on Japanese and learned English later on, the tones would naturally reflect that more closely in the game. It isn’t a difficult aspect to conquer, though, so I feel like highlighting that and redoing some lines would scratch a pretty big itch.
Particular to her English ultimate voice line, the part that annoys me most is the fact that the scripting has her saying “kitsune” instead of just “fox.” It’s not any less weeaboo to do that than it is to say “watashi” instead of I, but keep the rest of the sentence purely in English.
It’s kinda like how some people think they’re really cultured and respectful for getting a tattoo that says “water” or “wolf” in kanji or something. Could you imagine a Japanese person with the English word “water” just tattooed on their arm? Holy balls.
Thats something me and my girlfriend has been cringing since we heard her in season 1. Her reaction was like “why is she mixing languages? Its so cringe oh my god its like those memes of people speaking their language then suddenly calling random things in Japanese to act like if they knew the language”
I like Junkrat and Zen voicelines.
The first because how deranged he is and the 2nd because of his sassy passive aggressive comments.
I don’t blame the actress for that one, though. Bad scripting is bad scripting.
Seeing people use the word “cringe” as an adjective annoys me, too. It’s a verb. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Also,
I can’t agree. Schemmel tries to sound stoic, but it’s still simply a part of his effortful, unskilled voicing. The only difference between his intent to sound stoic and a little boy doing the same is puberty. It still sounds horribly phoned in.
If he mellowed out his tones, he would be kinda lukewarm and grumbly, but yeah, raising his voice in its natural tones. It just matches Piccolo.
