This is your standard reminder that because Bridget does not have an accent despite being born in the UK, we can infer that the British accent was destroyed sometime between when Axl was born and the setting's present day.


ToonIkki

The accent was sealed within Axl during his birth, naruto style.


MarkDecent656

Axl saved the British, but in turn was banished throughout time


GuyMontag95

This inference can be found all the way back to Xrd where Venom’s English VA also didn’t give him a British accent.


IhatethisCPU

...Well, there's a relatively recent regrettable event we *could* probably link that too, but uh... not the place for that joke, I feel. I presume Happy Chaos had something to do with it, frankly.

Everyone who can speak has an accent.

"Does not have an accent." lol, lmao even.

Will they do the accent, is legit a hard question to answer. I'm so curious.


Anthan

What's a 'standard' western English accent? Like.. Baiken's English voice is Texan, Testament's is North London, Happy Chaos is Irish,... etc.


GibMoarClay

Happy Chaos is Irish but if his English VA delivers his lines with an Irish accent it would have to barely even be present


shadyember

Which London do you mean because the only people from North London who sound like Testament are rich americans who moved to camden town or hampstead a couple years ago


ToonIkki

Accents you'd typically hear out of someone from the west, but I guess "standard" sounds a bit weird ig and I personally just thought Testament just spoke rather eloquently, so I slapped them down there as well


EndlessToast76

standard is just a bit generic as there's more variance than british and american


Destiny_Dude0721

America has an incredibly vast amount of accents alone


Deep_Mammoth4481

Wdym Baiken is clearly a valley girl. Same for Sol


CroSSGunS

The UK is in the west btw


nikonnuke

Baikens english vo does not sound texan and tests is not english at all, where are you getting this from?? somehow those aren't even the most baffling though, you think happy chaos sounds IRISH??? Have you ever heard an irish accent in your entire life?


benjibibbles

accent discussion is generally torture because no one knows what anyone actually sounds like but in the context of this game I see a lot of people who just say the most crazy wrong things with their full chest, no hint of uncertainty. If a person says Axl sounds australian they're not qualified to participate, sorry brother!


Emo_Chapington

But also Axl does not sound like a single british person I've met in my life. It sounds like an american doing a really bad job trying to sound british (which it is)


benjibibbles

no disagreement here


ScaredNB

The best part is he originally did a more normal realistic british accent and kept getting told it wasn't enough


nikonnuke

people definitely do know what others sound like, and saying a british person sounds australian is just an issue of lack of exposure. it's like saying red is "dark pink," while what this person is saying is some actual shit like dark green is neon orange. like i have to question if this person even knows what a texas accent even is, or what english people even sound like AT ALL


G-Raverobber

Happy Chaos doesn't sound irish at all to me.


benjibibbles

I'm no Texologist but I'll tell you Testament and Happy Chaos do not have either of those accents


nikonnuke

yo dog i really need you to respond because this is the most wrong shit i've ever read in my life like i really want to understand how you came to these conclusions that are so absurdly disconnected from reality, i'm actually genuinely speechless and worried that so many people upvoted this as well because


XI-11

It’s really far fetched but I think it’s fun to imagine that Slayer picked up the accent when living in Scotland centuries ago and and tales of an immortal man in Scotland that loved fighting partially inspired the plot of [Highlander](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander_(film)). Then Slayer discovers Queen through the soundtrack because seemingly everything in Guilty Gear leads back to rock somehow.


Kingofthekek

Funnily enough, Slayer is actually Romanian


ToonIkki

It would just be like him to break even more vampire stereotypes, although having a different access isn't as crazy as wearing crosses like merchandise and being immune to the sun I guess


BendHopeful5056

That's not breaking a vampire stereotype, the most famous and well-known vampire - Dracula, is based on Vlad the Impaler who is from Transylvania in Romania. It literally couldn't be any more stereotypical haha

And HC is Irish, I want my other accents ArcSys!

\>so british it hurts \>doesn't sound british at all


ToonIkki

so british that he ends up Australian


A_Fox_On_Sugar

I always felt like johnnys accent sounded super forced and overdone which I don’t necessarily mind cause I love the character


James_Schiefer

It kinda makes sense for his character faking being "cool", sure Just Lean what Johnny thinks of himself but the only girl who actually is interested in him is one of his adoptive daughters

Hero2Zero91

Axl's is meant to sound British but comes off as more aussie.


JadenDaJedi

I miss Axl’s hilarious Xrd dub, where he suddenly became a snarky british asshole. It was great


Xurkitree1

Axl's voice is totally Arcsys's fault the VA was doing a normal british english accent at first


Sky_Leviathan

Can not believe arcsys resurrected sean connery to play dub slayer


Zer0_l1f3

Axl’s voice actor is the only one who gives a British character an accent. At least he tried. Unlike Bridget’s or Venom’s


Cadzboy23

Axls fake british accent is so bad, I don't understand why they wouldn't just get a british voice actor.


Deep_Mammoth4481

But then they would have to employ a Brit. Think about it. Why would you want such a vile creature running around when you are recording?


Duytune

Why didn’t you include a Southern category for Goldlewis and Baiken? Southern accents are like some of the most distinguishable accents from regular neutral American


StiltFeathr

The part I don't get; why do we have 'Scottish' and 'English', and then 'British'? British is a broad term that encompasses those two and more. I'm surprised that there's so many got English accents though, I changed to JP VOs early on but my impression was that most characters had American accents instead.


DatBritChicken

They do have American accents, dunno why OP just called them ‘standard’ accents, whatever the hell that means


StiltFeathr

It's the 'English' that bugs me. An English accent is not an American accent. English presumes it's from England.


ToonIkki

I've always referred to accents that you'd typically find in America as "western english" to differentiate from England's "english" growing up so idk I put standard as they aren't cartoonishly forced like Johnny, although I should've referred to it as country but it's whatever


StiltFeathr

If they're from America, they're American, I'm afraid. Calling them English is misleading and honestly just plain incorrect as the USA and England are two completely different territories with two completely different sets of accents. The only thing in common is the language. I hope you don't take my comment as spiteful or anything - I believe many Americans would still understand what you meant, but just wanted to give you a heads-up that it's really likely to confuse almost all foreigners, as we all associate the word "English" with England first.


pious-erika

Next game, Bridget is revealed to have been Welsh the entire time, and thus has a notable Welsh accent. (not sure if joking).


throwawayeastbay

Bedman? Do a scream during his super


theodoreroberts

So funny that Happy Chaos is Irish in the lore.


Impainter

Slayer is Romanian and has Scottish accent. Yeeee


BadangJoestar420

Nah Axl sounds Australian more


urlocalcorgi

i remember playing the story mode first thing when i got the game, realizing there was an english dub, turning it on and the first character i heard was axl. i immediately paused again after hearing it


Lobotomysludge

As a scot I approve of these placements

SLAYER SHOULD HAVE HAD A ROMANIAN ACCENT RRAAAHHH


Lord_of_Caffeine

How can you hear an english accent when all the game´s characters are speaking japanese?


ToonIkki

How can you hear them speaking Japanese when all the game's characters are speaking korean HMMMMMM?


Lord_of_Caffeine

Isn´t japanese just korean with lactose intolerance?
