#god i love you roxas 358/2 days mccartney kingdom hearts 2 final mix

I still think it's hilarious that Ven was once so incredibly pissed off that it physically thawed ice, and Sora once forgot his keyblade in a rage and just started beating the shit out of a man with his fists

But the kid who wasn't even mad about getting backhanded so hard he unlocked limit break got the reputation as "the angry one"

la (western animation though) based street fighter dub but all i can think of is:

-jesse mccartney or daryl sabara as abel. jesse mccartney would be good because he’s voiced a very similar character to abel, roxas, in kingdom hearts, and a voice similar to roxas in a role like abel would be genius. daryl sabara, meanwhile, has a naturally youthful voice that i LOVE (for example, his voice as rex in generator rex, arguably his voice acting “star making role”). and i GENUINELY, GENUINELY think he has the range to play a contemplative and quiet, but childish and innocent, character like abel as opposed to “typical action cartoon protagonist” boy like rex. it’s funny, because the protagonist of sfv, rashid, is VERY similar to rex i think, if you replace punk leifmotifs with dubstep leifmotifs.

-rob paulsen (yes, but in his jack fenton from danny phatnom voice, and i genuinely think he’d be able to sell that dan is silly but has aspects to him that are ABSOLUTELY depressing) as dan hibiki. though ideally i need to think of an asian, particularly mixed japanese/ethnic cantonese voice actor for dan, though i don’t know of much

-alyson stoner or hynden walch as seth. YES, alyson stoner. it’s a FAR step away from michael mcconnohie, who is a genuinely talented seth in his own right and HAS worked on western animation (such as transformers), but alyson stoner AND hynden walch could DEFINITELY sell the inherent brokenness seth feels inside while making seth sound childlike. like...innocent, but creepy. perhaps hynden walch as seth. and yes, in BOTH forms. because the contrast of hynden walch’s or alyson stoner’s voice with the very odd, android-like form sfiv seth has, and the more traditional type of characters both voice actresses have played as sfv seth. hynden walch i got the inspiration from remembering her performance as breach from generator rex and remembering...hey. she reminds me of seth! and alyson stoner, meanwhile, came from me thinking xion’s voice would be ideal for seth because the role xion plays in kingdom hearts 358/2 days is very similar to the role seth plays, especially with being seen as an “it” and not as the autonomous person they’d like to be seen as.

-wally kurth as guile. i’m surprised he doesn’t have more voice acting roles, because his acting as agent six is genuinely the best i’ve heard period. it would fit guile’s miliitary mindset while also establishing yes, he’s abel’s father figure (because wally kurth’s voice is ALSO very fatherly. god i need to watch generator rex again)

-grey griffin as juri. you know why (azula, and also the time she was on tumblr and voiced VRISKA).

-brad garret as hugo OR abigail. brad garret tends to be cast in a LOT of “dumb muscle” roles, and both hugo and abigail fit that trope to an extent (though abigail to a lesser one because he’s less dumb and more a street smart jock type). if the showrunner is going for the “creepy giant manchild with sympathetic aspects” often applied to hugo (typically by yoshinori ono or fanfiction authors who write final fight centric fanfiction), brad garret would be IDEAL for hugo because he can sell the “big threatening scary guy” thing while ALSO selling the fact he’s basically a manchild who’s being manipulated by the people around him to do bad things. meanwhile, with abigail, brad garret has a background in live action comedy, such as everybody loves raymond (which imo isn’t that funny but brad garret’s chemistry with the character of monica horan’s character was like...night and day with the rest of the cast, like he actually had genuinely positive and funny interactions with her when the rest of the humor was “husband hates wife and wife equally hates husband but won’t get a divorce”), and the particular vocal inflections he puts on as robert in particular would be funny for abigail because for example, some of the scenes where robert shouts in a humorous way or goes into a mumbling tone saying “EVVVVVERYBODY loves raymond” would be IDEAL for abigail, who’s a comedic character and a lot of his personality relies on his exaggerated vocal performance that his japanese voice actor (who i don’t remember the name of) and english voice actor xander mobus give him. can’t decide which i’d choose for either, but ideally i want brad garret to voice hugo because i want fred tatasciore, who frequently voices in comedic western action cartoons, to voice someone like abigail. though john cena could work as abigail, ngl. brad garret’s voice he puts on for lobo would work for abigail as well.

any other voice casting options from primarily western animation sources you’d like to suggest?
