    is that DAMN announcer. i just wanna PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE! or hadoken him in the face or somethin...i'd much rather stick to playing SFII HD remix than play this new game everyone loves so damn much because i just cannot stand the effing announcer guy in SFIV. i even tried turning him off, but the only way to do that is to turn off voices completely, and that takes away the one thing i love about this game in the process, as it turns off character voices as well, so i no longer get to hear Ryu's HADOOOOKEN and his HETCHITCHABATOOCHAKSJDFOSJFO and all those other sayings the characters make on command that make street fighter a classic franchise. so i'm sorry street fighter IV, you are just not the game for me

    'FISTS WILL FLY AT THIS LOCATION!' is the only thing I liked about the entire game.

    If you don't like the announcer in SF 4, you'll really hate the announcer in Capcom Vs. SNK 2. That guy is fucking bananas. He doesn't shut up ever, from the time you turn the game on, to when you've picked a level, and even during the loading of said level. The guy just keeps going, saying all kinds of nonsense all the while.

    How can you stop playing a game for a reason so trivial as the announcers voice? Thats like if you stopped playing Bioshock just because no one in that game is black.

    The SSF4 announcer reminds me too much of the Killer Instinct one. I keep waiting to hear him say "ULTRAAA COMBOOOOO" or something.

    SSF4 announcer is even more sick than the SF4 one in my opinion. I think they just need to rip the announcer from Killer Instinct directly, just have the same sound clips and everything.

    I wouldn't call that intelligent at all, and play-by-play commentary in a fighting game is silly.

    I don't mind the announcer, especially when he yells "FIGHT!!" It could be worse though... They could have brought back the announcer from SSFII: The new challengers. Now THAT announcer was annoying to listen to.
