Either the studio sucks at voice coaching or the developers want the English voice that specific way. I put my money on the former.
At least with the Soul Calibur series the dialogue is short and the game oozes with cheese so it's not as if it destroys the tone of the game, unlike the English voice acting for the Final Fantasy games. I'm at a point where if the voice acting isn't on par with Frog Nation's English voice coaching for a heavy narrative game then I just check out as it breaks my suspention of disbelief. Sorry for the mini rant folks it's just that really bad voice acting in video games these days burns my nipples. :P

Seen on Twitter (via Wonkey): Yoshimitsu will have special mechanics in which he uses his Soul gauge for his attacks, reason why he can "steal" some gauge from his enemies.

Something like Brave Edge?

I'm guessing those moves where he flashes yellow (such as after door knocker) are his "brave edges". He also flashes yellow when he steals part of your soul.

That voice sounds way better than his dumb EN voice that makes him sound like a joke character.
I still don't understand why Capcom is the only dev that does per-character voices.

The japanese voice is terrible. Doesnt fit yoshi at all

If Cassandra has a gimmick I hope that it will involve her Angelic Twirl.
Something like "parrying with AT's auto GI gives access to a launcher version of quarter circle B" or access to a different, more powerful string.

What is yoshi voice? I thought it has been the same forever. Im about to research this

Its always been like that..
I think its fine but, the english voice feels like it fits ALL of the character, not just the "scary" demon mask part.

I don’t know, seems too serious for Yoshimitsu. He seems like the type of character to have a goofy voice with all the goofy stances he has. I’ll go with English for his, but for some others such as Taki the Japanese was better.

For me at least, what Vergeben said about Yoshi subverting your expectations works both ways in ENG and JP. He's got a goofy aspect to his character for sure, but he's not a comedic or joke character necessarily. Playing it up in ENG works because he sounds goofy, but he's still an intimidating character, especially with this new design. The contrast works.
The JP voice works the other way, where you have a pretty serious, menacing voice coming from this goofy "joke" character prancing/flying around. The juxtaposition works there too, Yoshi is all about not being easy to pin down.
