Not exactly. That new Abridged Series is funny and a lot of the voices sound similar to Funimation's and some of the Ocean cast's(That's a good thing), but I've never heard anyone who can mimic the Piccolo voice almost perfectly. The closest to that would be Gozar. But, the new series does have a good Vegeta voice actor.Jackal puFF wrote:have you heard piccolo or vegeta in that abridged series?
sounds exactly like him. ridiculous lol.
What if Mr.Sabat died?

The guy they got to replace Tenshinhan's VA Hirotaka Suzuoki in Burst Limit disappointed me, since Tenshinhan is one of my top favorite characters, the new guy doesn't sound quite enough like him most of the time (although a couple are almost dead on). I was REALLY hoping they would just use dialogue from the previous games, I'm pissed that they didn't, Tenshinhan had one of my favorite voices in the show.
And when Nozawa dies, especially if it happens soon, I will be EXTREMELY upset. I'm so glad she still has the ability to the voices at her age for the games, although sometimes in some lines her voice gets a bit "off", which is upsetting. If she passes away or can't do the voice anymore they better use her previous recordings, casting somebody else would be completely unacceptable, so if they're ever going to do a new story scenario in a game or OAV which would require new recorded dialogue they better hurry up and do it.

I found his dialogue was usually fine.

But his in game grunts and whatnot were earbleedingly off.

Well, they've been doing this for just about 20+ years. So by 2015, they'll all be dead.Onikage725 wrote:Man, they're dropping like flies

Not... necessarily. Ryo Horikawa (Vegeta) is 50. Ryusei Nakao (Freeza) is under 60. Takeshi Kusao (Trunks) is, I think, 42. Most of them are in that 40-60 range. I doubt they'll all be dead in 7 years.Pain wrote:Well, they've been doing this for just about 20+ years. So by 2015, they'll all be dead.Onikage725 wrote:Man, they're dropping like flies
To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death.

Exactly, the DBZ Abridged Vegeta and many other fan voice-overs of Vegeta are very accurate, finding a voice similar to Sabats Vegeta or Piccolo will not be anything impossible.Jackal puFF wrote:have you heard piccolo or vegeta in that abridged series?

If anything ever happened to Masako Nozawa, I'd be happy to take her place. I've managed to mimic her voice perfectly through just messing around. Its sort of strange though, considering I'm a pretty big guy who grows a full beard in about day, and used to have an extremely deep natural voice.Pain wrote:Yeah, that's been on my mind since....since I found out that she was so old. And I doubt that many people can mimic her voice.Chuquita wrote:I'm worried more for Ms. Nozawa's health than Mr. Sabat's (she's WAY older than he is). Mr. Sabat seems like he's keeping himself in decent shape.
