I am a big big fan of the English voiceover in the Soulcalibur series. It's probably the only Japanese game where I will pick English over the original version. There are many reasons for this, in some characters' cases superior voice acting that gives them tons of personality, compared to the Japanese one (for example Azwel, Yoshimitsu, Tira, among others). I understand that some of these characters are voiced by seiyuu legends, such as Wakamoto Norio, but in many cases the Japanese one just sounds like some generic anime. The lines from the characters are more serious in the JP version, making the game less funny and enjoyable and some voices I feel simply feel don't fit the characters at all (Tira's JP voice is simply annoying to me and doesn't suit her appearance or behaviour). To add to that, fighting some of the girls in JP version sounds almost like watching a hentai anime, so hard pass, it's just gross. All this while the English voiceover is full of ridiculous stuff and is very unique, giving the game an entirely different feel.
I'd like to hear your thoughts about this, I'm interested in why you would pick one version over the other
