Fun fact, Adam Howden (the voice of Shulk) actually put himself in the electric chair without a wets sponge, causing as much pain as possible to truly embody the scream on Shulk. This is a joke btw.
Lol, me too. There’s actually an edit about that on my channel if you guys want to watch it. No pressure, but I think it’s pretty good… I’m still working on my editing…
Shulk can't believe that he get's to feel them- IT...I meant...."it". That's why the line says I'm really feeling itokayimgoingtoshutupnowhatadumbasscommenttomake
Shulk's is miles better of course but it's too intense for Rex's character, at least at this point. Shulk is mourning the death of his long-time childhood friend and crush in rage, and while Rex has a right to be angry because he was literally just backstabbed, his voice acting should be more determined or filled with resolve rather than anguished rage. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
I think Chuggaaconroy said it best when he said he thinks Rex's VA isn't bad, just poorly directed. You can have the best VA in the industry and still have a poor performance if the director isn't up to snuff
Honestly it was only moments where he need to raise his voice where Rex's VA had problems. He did amazing during more serious scenes. Like when he met Pyra, the Graveyard scene with Pyra, and when he has that vision of having dinner with Pyra and Mythra. All those moments were great VA. It was only at screaming parts where he truly struggled.
Don't quote me, but I've heard that the cast of XC2 were never shown the scenes they were doing and only had 1 take. I would wager to guess that's why the voices sound so flat, especially in the beginning. Whether it's true or not idk, but it would make sense. Nothing against any VAs, but the voice work is kinda mediocre all around and I don't really think it's their faults
@@hoodsquigga1168 Yeah, it's a shame everyone likes to shit on Rex's voice actor. IMO, he did a great job for the literal nothing he was given, and I'd argue his comedic timing is pretty spot on. Different actors, different strengths (and with direction in Smash he sounds great).
@@casuallycrazy9803 plus l’m pretty sure he was knew to voice acting this was some of his first job correct me if l’m wrong but the Shulk actor has several times the experience
Man this makes me remember on how much better shulk VA was compared to rex, specially in those intense moments/screams. Rex is kinda of fine when hes just talking normally, but when its a heated scene or he has to scream, dear god.
some people call rex's voice actor "bad" even tho it's really only the screams that aren't that great especially compared to Shulk's screams which are S tier. Rex sounds fine like 98% of the time
Umm, this makes me think if Rex had known Shulk during his is adventure, he would have crapped himself. That scream is pure rage. Shulk is so chill in smash because he has no more rage left in his system. Like damn, you can feel the raw anger through the screen.
Rex's original voice fits Rex much better yes, but his scream was god awful. His VA even messed up some of the emotional scenes due to the lack of proper guiding (not the VA's fault). He was much better post Chapter 3 and he finally gave a good scream at Chapter 10.
damn, shulk's VA had no business going this fucking hard
he did it for us

Shulk: be like after losing Fiora l’ve got nothing left to lose
@@theturtle5179 That was not funny.
@@orangeslash1667 I quite liked it
*"LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE."*
_"At least we'll fight!"_
If we're outmatched, we must pull back.
Let’s not lose our heads though
Are we insane!?
this one will take some time to bring down
Now rex is perfect 10/10
0/10 no racecar
Yeah
Nah. Screams like these don‘t fit him at all.
rex cant be perfect if hes not himself. much like all of us :)
@@TheGamingPurin he is better different
After "Now place your hand on my chest", I admit I was expecting "I'm really feeling it!"
Same here
same
Lol, me too. There’s actually an edit about that on my channel if you guys want to watch it. No pressure, but I think it’s pretty good… I’m still working on my editing…
Alright, I’m feeling it! I can feel the power!

So less “SHOOOOCKEEERR”, more “TERIYAAAAAAAAAAAH”
*Standing ovation*
It would be like a pre-time skip Demetri scream vs a post time skip Demetri scream from Fire Emblem Three Houses
"HAAAAiiiiiiyyyyah."
vs
"TALK ALL YOU WANT, BECAUSE THOSE WORDS WILL BE YOUR LAST!"
Agreed
The cutscene after he had awakened Pyra would've been so much better if it had a proper battle cry from Rex
this is basically the spider man meme: "I WILL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!"
SHOOOOOOOCCCCKKKKEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR
I think Chuggaaconroy said it best when he said he thinks Rex's VA isn't bad, just poorly directed. You can have the best VA in the industry and still have a poor performance if the director isn't up to snuff
Poorly directed and casted, he should've been a side character not the MC
I think that's for most of the voice actors in the game tbh
Think it was also the actors first gig
Nah, his VA is just terrible. Nothing to do with directors
I agree
Honestly it was only moments where he need to raise his voice where Rex's VA had problems. He did amazing during more serious scenes.

Well screaming and going all out surely is one of the hardest parts of a VA's job

I mean, Rex actor is not bad (I've heard worse) but Shulk's actor is godlike
Poor guy had no voice direction, just look at his lines in Smash, that’s WITH voice direction

@@hoodsquigga1168 he still sounds like a shitty brat in smash
@@demosthenes995 I have no idea where you're getting that from.

That last clip though 👀
Why is this so hilarious, yet it works so well? The Shulk lines you picked were absolutely genius! 15/10 from me!
Rex: "Malos, listen. If nothing else, you must remember your family. That's Mythra over there."
Malos: "AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYY."
the ending killed me ahahaha
Rex’s really feeling it!
I feel that if rex's scream wasn't used twice in the same cutscene, it wouldn't have been criticized so harshly
Man this makes me remember on how much better shulk VA was compared to rex, specially in those intense moments/screams.
Rex is kinda of fine when hes just talking normally, but when its a heated scene or he has to scream, dear god.
That scream is so extra but amazing at the same time.
GOD REX IS SO COOL NOW THIS SCENE IS ACTUALLY REALLY POWERFUL WITH THIS CHANGE
Dang, now that last swing felt real with the voice change
some people call rex's voice actor "bad" even tho it's really only the screams that aren't that great especially compared to Shulk's screams which are S tier. Rex sounds fine like 98% of the time
It doesn't hit the same when it's not the same scream three times over.
Brilliant. Now I demand Shulk with Mythra's scream (from the Torna cutscene literally named "Scream")
god, I love this
Missed opportunity to have Rex say, "I'm really feeling it" while touching her core crystal for the resonance
Alright, I’m feeling it! SLIT EDGE! AAAAAAUIGH! We can definitely do this! This isn’t looking too good!
He sounds so much cooler.
Missed the golden opportunity to call it the “squeekual”
"Looks like we don't have a choice"
These are the xenoblade memes that I find way too entertaining.
Wow. It’s suddenly good.
Rex: I'm really feeling it!!
Adam Howden made the game 10 times better with his performance, this man didn't need to go that hard
Rex but he's just pissed, also Rex but hes uncertain if he is ready for Pyra.
As much as I love Adam Howden, one can't simply change Rex's voice.
Al Weaver will always be Rex Rex
Not really just change the voice actor you don't have to feel bad
@@Avg_nightwalker no, just get him better voice direction.
@@viniercarp6567 it's not just direction he is just bad because others were able to do better
@@Avg_nightwalker you say that like it's a fact
I'm sorry but Rex yelling "Die!" is so funny to me
you missed the part when he touch her chest and saying I'm really feelin it
Shulk’s blood curdling scream is the best
Suddenly all is right with the world
Adam Howden is an absolute fucking beast, and puts everyone else in the business to shame.
LOOKS LIKE WE DONT HAVE A CHOICE! is so funny
Now Rex is finally showing emotion
THIS IS MY CHANCE!
I wasn’t ready for a good battle roar.
10000 times better omfg
Yknow, these voice lines could've been recorded in cutscene without the sfx and bgm (I think.)
Rex now with 50% more screaming
IM REALY FEELING IT
Rex could be my favorite protagonist if he just had a better voice! The other 2 have british accents, give him one!
Umm, this makes me think if Rex had known Shulk during his is adventure, he would have crapped himself. That scream is pure rage. Shulk is so chill in smash because he has no more rage left in his system. Like damn, you can feel the raw anger through the screen.
Imagine if shulk was still boiling with anger in smash
Sephiroth: “Looks like i have the smash ball”
Cue shulk falling from the sky
@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174 Imagine him screaming this will be the day you'll die as a taunt or I'll kill you all when he is sky koed.
Yeah he lost his rage when he lost his stock hence having no percent
Now rex sounds badass
Why does this fit so well?
better voice.
That's way too intense for this scene
Yeah the yelling could have had some rerecordings
Honestly you could do this for the whole game and it'd be literally 10X better than vanilla XC2
It literally feels impossible
I actually prefer Rex’s scream when used with Rex.
I love this game so much.......and damn this would have made it better!
Way better
10/10
The end part is sad
Yeah
Wait rex can actually scream
Yap lot better
I would say, it doesn't fit either because Rex looks too young for Shulk's voice.
It's still good and I would prefer it
Well, fair enough. The quality of the voice acting is still superior at the end of the day. Even tho the mix of the two is still not very good.
This also seems out of place
Honestly, I don't think this sounds that good on him.
Ngl I liked the original Rex more 😅😂
Um excuse me
@ItsGeo Are you deaf
@@janeengonzales2596 the problem is that shulk’s scteam is way to intense for rex at that point

I give a dislike. I would rather hear Rex's proper voice
ayo what the fuck was that ending
