Man, Shulk's screams of pain at 2:28 from the Monado are legitimately bloodcurdling. Like, I can't imagine a human making those kinds of noise without being in actual pain, which is what makes it such tremendous voice acting that it's so convincing.
@@medecko4394 I think I would have been pretty surprised if I had heard Shulk roaring like an actual lion lol. Like a human is already enough I think. I can say I was in the case of Rex though.
shulk at the end of xbc ive ended god now we can all live our own lives rex at the end of xbc2 ive fixed our problem for land now we wont fight over it rex shulk look into the future everyone is born into war and the world i ruled by councilers who are basically gods and both sides are ruled by the girls they rejected rex and shulk inturnal screaming

His screams are just so RAW. He puts his all into every one and you can feel it. Listening to them back to back like this just makes me think how much it must hurt to belt out like that. I can only imagine what it was like in the recording booth.
I know it's obvious, but the animation is SO much cleaner in Future Connected compared to the base game, and hell even Xenoblade 2. Just look at how clean his flip is on 5:30
It's really good use of the Follow Through principle of animation. While in the air, Shulk first moves his body closer to his legs in an upside down V shape, then his legs spring around into a flip which propels the rest of his body followed by his sword into a strike. it looks neat
@@questionmarkquestionmarkques he's certainly underrated by the industry. Besides Shulk, his resume is full of bit characters and "additional voices" credits. A performance like this ought to give him Troy Baker heat.
Sometimes I forgot how good the voice acting is especially for Shulk because I sometimes think about THAT scream used in various memes like the yoinky sploinky I want to become a voice actor and put my heart and soul into every performance
Skye Bennet, voice of Pyra and Mythra, went into it once but basically the voice direction was extremely rushed for the main game. Direction is very frequently the thing that kills a lot of performances in these sorts of projects.
@@bladeworksmaster Also Rex's VA was new to voice acting, so without good vocal direction, he was tossed into the deep end. I still think he did a great job in non action scenes,
Adam Howden has an anime scream on par with some of the greatest legends; guys like Sean Schemmel and Mark Gatha. This is on top of the fact that he has some real acting chops. Makes me wish he had a role in an actual anime dub.
If he wasn't given a best-VA-performance-in-videogames-history award, he should (PD: not just as Shulk, but the guy even voiced two other chars in the same game, AND another char in XC2, and manages to make all sound similar-yet-different, which is perfect given who they all are, not many VAs can do that).
@Nayeko Do you plan to make a video update to this with Future Redeemed now out? Or does Shulk not really scream in that one? I haven't gotten around to playing it yet
Don't get me wrong, XC1's voice acting is good and all, but honestly it was carried by the fact the British accents weren't used often in dubs, and also by Adam Howden's fantastic battle cries and screams. Outside of those two things the dub's quality varies pretty heavily. But man did Howden put in 110%.
I played xc2 first and then played DE and my god what happened? did they replace the casting and voice directors in xc2? cuz the voice acting in 2 was literal trash when compared to 1 especially rex and pyra/mythra vs shulk and fiora, i couldn't take it after chapter 2 i had to play it in Japanese and im so glad i did.
From what I've heard, the voice cast for 2 were given the script, but not the cutscenes. So, they had no context for how the lines were supposed to feel.

This man has my eternal respect. The amount of times he's screamed FIORAAAAAAAAAAAAA at the top of his lungs dude, legend
I mean, when it's the thing that you get paid for...
“You will know the pain and suffering..you caused to the emperor and FIORA!”
Damn dude’s got voice acting

Yeah. NGL it sounds like they’re actively torturing his testicles
Maybe if they're both still alive in XC3 Shulk can give Rex some much needed battle-cry lessons
Shulk can't imitate a racing car so convincingly though.
@@kyurei4478 He can’t sound like a race car. But he can sound like the Roaring Lion.

2:20 people don't talk about this scene enough, You can really feel his desperation (no pun intended)
You're right, i feel like that scene has always gone underappreciated. Definitely one of my favourite lines from Adam Howden.
Why isn't he dubbed that good in smash😭
@@numberone2676 tbf they just made him a scrimblo with a sword instead of the warrior he is
5:30 POV: you have the honor of dying to shulk's flip slash
0:19, the blood curdling scream he eminates is so freaking powerful
I‘m so happy that Adam Howden returned in Xenoblade 2. I hope he also appears in the next Xenoblade Games. His voice acting is absolutely amazing!
Well, you hear his voice very quickly in a cutscene but that's it.
@@yannfaure7438 Are you talking about 2 or 3?
@@boredgoddesstori6635 the 3rd game
@@yannfaure7438 fat l boso + ratio he is not in the game. I think the DLC has a chance of having a prequel with Rex and shulk tho. That would be sick.

I know it's obvious, but the animation is SO much cleaner in Future Connected compared to the base game, and hell even Xenoblade 2.
Just look at how clean his flip is on 5:30
I know ! It makes me so excited for XC3's cutscenes-
Just pre order Xenoblade 3 I just hope when the date arrives that I’m not moved
It's really good use of the Follow Through principle of animation. While in the air, Shulk first moves his body closer to his legs in an upside down V shape, then his legs spring around into a flip which propels the rest of his body followed by his sword into a strike.

Doesn't the game reuse the wii mocap
@@thatitalianlameguy2235yes but not the the future connected cutscenes (the one we’re talking about)
I like how the video ends with Shulk killing you
POV: you're ness in that one video
love Adam Howden for his beautiful voice acting
Truly an underrated voice actor
hes probably the most popular xenoblade voice actor he is very well rated
@@questionmarkquestionmarkques he's certainly underrated by the industry. Besides Shulk, his resume is full of bit characters and "additional voices" credits. A performance like this ought to give him Troy Baker heat.
Ah yes, 5 minutes and 33 seconds of good voice acting (imagine how Adam Howden was able to put that much into multiple screams)
Sometimes I forgot how good the voice acting is especially for Shulk because I sometimes think about THAT scream used in various memes like the yoinky sploinky
I want to become a voice actor and put my heart and soul into every performance
The voice acting in that old game is so great that it's such a mystery how XC2 ended up like it did

@@bladeworksmaster Also Rex's VA was new to voice acting, so without good vocal direction, he was tossed into the deep end. I still think he did a great job in non action scenes,
Rex at the start of chapter 7 through the rest of the game made me FEEL THINGS
Dude Adam Howden is so good at yelling.
Adam Howden has an anime scream on par with some of the greatest legends; guys like Sean Schemmel and Mark Gatha. This is on top of the fact that he has some real acting chops. Makes me wish he had a role in an actual anime dub.
For some reason, the part where he goes from angry, to sad about Fiora, and then to angry again gives me chills every time.
Peak performance from Adam Howden especially experiencing it for the first time earlier on this year
Shulk(Xenoblade Chronicles), Pit(Kid icarus Uprising), Sora(Kingdom Heart ) and Link(Legend of Zelda) Are the strongest swordsman I know!
What about Cloud from Final Fantasy VII?
god Shulk's VA's throught must hurt like hell after every session
He Attack
He predict
But most importantly
He scream a lot.
Adam Howden biting his tongue to make those noises at 2:28
Ngl that thumbnail is hard asf

Cool 😎
Love the frame it ends on lol
Someone should really vocode Shulk screaming to the singing part of Engage The Enemy.
4:12
3 Screams Pack!
1:08 MECHON!!
Did I just watch a guy screaming for 5 minutes straight ? It's Adam Howden though so that's ok.
FIORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
epic
Shulk is beyond a Super Saiyan.
I really like the replica monado ex, but I have to say the the monado 2 is peak weapon design
Take notes Rex
Maybe he’ll make an appearance in XBC3.
maybe I don’t know
I hope he does! Maybe as DLC or additional post-game content(?
if he does he'd be super old, probably the leader of colony 9 aged around 70-80 years old.
I think for sure he's dead now
He voiced the Nopon Archsage in the land of challenge for XC3 and he said it was a massive honor to be voicing a nopon
Hoo boy
The many screams lol
5:30
🔥🔥🔥
Best mc voice actor ever
Anyobdy got the lyrics to that?
@Nayeko Do you plan to make a video update to this with Future Redeemed now out? Or does Shulk not really scream in that one? I haven't gotten around to playing it yet

Outside of those two things the dub's quality varies pretty heavily. But man did Howden put in 110%.
And that is the exact reason why Xenoblade 1 will ALWAYS be better than Xenoblade 2 for me, the most incredible voice acting ever :)

From what I've heard, the voice cast for 2 were given the script, but not the cutscenes. So, they had no context for how the lines were supposed to feel.
If I remember correctly, not only was there not much direction for the English dub, but I think each line got like one take.
Malos' voice acting is amazing.
You missed out on some amazing voices after the beginning stretch. I mean come on, how can you deny yourself the welsh cat?!
