Think about it, that game will likely be their English-speaking debut, and we'd only get the hybrid voice where you can't easily distinguish the actors and Kale's personality is non-existent. It''ll be such a weird introduction to the first female Super Saiyans for English-speaking audiences.

Of course the production side of the game doesn't care about that and I think most people would rather plays as Kefla than the other two in a fighting game. But still. It may not matter to most but it matters to me :lol:
Actually I think most people would rather play Caulifla with a Kale assist over playing Kefla. It doesn’t seem like Kefla was very well liked (although she did win over people, myself included, in 116).
Hmm, I've seen roughly a split between people wanting that and wanting just Kefla. Also, this is just my assumption based on what I've seen, but I feel like the people who like them as characters tend to lean towards Caulifla w/Kale, while the ones that don't prefer Kefla. Which makes sense, they're probably thinking "if I *have* to put up with them in the game, can it at least be the powerful one who just does a lot of flashy moves and then gets stomped by UI Goku"?

Speaking of, that's another reason they might lean toward Kefla. The Kamehameha scene is *prime* dramatic finish potential.

There is also a slim-minority third category (in which I include myself) called the "Schadenfreude category", which is people who want Caulifla AND Kale as separate characters just so Kale can replace Broly. I'd love that because it means a) getting to play as a better character and b) putting on some popcorn and watching Gamefaqs explode.

I personally prefer Kefla, she has a better moveset. Kale is just Broly gameplay/design wise so I don't see the point of including her, however Caulifla SSJ2/Kale controlled SSJ as a team (just like C-18/C-17) could be interesting but Caulifla and Kale uncontrollable SSJ as seperate characters? nope. Anyway I'm 100% sure it won't happen, maybe in Xenoverse 3 lol

Come to think of it, seeing as I suggested Bosch to be the voice of Jiren, I figured maybe they should have the entire pride trooper team be played by former Power Rangers(if possible) so I came up with the following

Jiren: Johnny Yong Bosch
Toppo: ???
Dyspo: ???
Vuon: ???
Kunshi: Steve Cardenas
Tupper: Matt Austin
Zoiray: Blake Foster
Cocotte: Catherine Sutherland
Kettol: Jason David Frank
Kahseral: David Yost

I don't know much about the Power Rangers franchise, so I have no idea if some of those choices are out of reach, unavailable to play these parts, or too big an actor to be bothered with. So if any of you know more about Power Rangers, and have better ideas for who they should play, feel free to say.

If you wanna go the Power Ranger route, Brad Hawkins (who starred in PR's sister show, VR Troopers, and voiced the Gold Ranger for his first appearance in Zeo) would be a good choice for one of the Pride Troopers. He played Wolfwood in Trigun: Badlands Rumble, and apparently he did more work for Funimation in shows like Future Diary and FMA: Brotherhood. I don't know who he would play, though.

On Twitter a little while back KaiserNeko suggested George Newbern (Sephiroth, Superman in Justice League) as Jiren. I thought that was an inspired choice; it would make Goku's greatest challenge literally Superman in a meta sense. He may be considered too high profile, but maybe they can get a few guest actors since it's the final arc.

Very well, I could see Brad Hawkins being a good choice as one of the pride troopers, if he's a FUNimation regular I could see him being a very good option for someone they have access to, heck if Bosch isn't able to he could even get the part as Jiren. I doubt George is gonna be an option for them, though I won't rule it out seeing as they've gotten Marsters to voice Zamasu. But if the idea of someone that's played Superman being Jiren, perhaps Yuri Lowenthal is a possibility (He was Superman in Legion of Superheroes), I think he's done work for FUNimation in the past.

Amber lee connors for caulifla

Stephanie Sheh for kale

Lanipator for toppo

Kaiserneko for dyspo

Takahata101 or Kevin conroy for jiren

Jamie Marchi for either the stripper or ribrianne

Johnny Yong Bosch for the chicken guy.

Mark Hammil for belmod

Arlene sorkin Tara Strong hynden walch or Laura bailey for marcarita

But the most important thing is that every person I need the tournament of power including G.O.D.s and angels must all have a unique voice actor Andy voice actress. They shouldn’t use any voice actors that are already being used at the moment. This is the perfect opportunity to find some new talent. Give some new people a chance to show what they got vocally. Get some guest voice actors in there for the ones that are appropriate for them. But make sure that there are plenty of new blood in there.

Okay I think that they are going to have Aaron Roberts voicing jiren in the super dub now.
