The two, though different, are both appropriate for Iori. The only thing the new VA messed up was Iori's signature laugh.

[@SaveTheContent]

:3 I agree I was like ;~; noooooo SNK you fucked up the laugh (but totally sounds like Iori)

[@siekensou77]

i heard a few things that were off with the new one... but i need to rewatch to remember which ones.. oh rtight.. an easy one i remember. the orochi iori. that scream.. the new VA didnt quite pull that off

[@NationalistAF]

+Prem Sinha i agree as well.

[@HitsujiMamoru]

I blame the sound mixing for this one (to some extent). Here the 3 clips are too disjointed, they should have entangled them better. To me the best rendition of this laugh is from the Capcom vs SNK series, it was PERFECT there rhythmically and emotionally (and got me attracted to the character instantly) The new guy is good as what he is doing but I miss the crazy over-the-top berserk laugh from the Saika SDM. This was one of the best things from 2k1 and they never completely brought it back :(

[@datdudecritical_5070]

Prem Sinha I agree that the laugh sounds kind of weak compared to the old VA's. But I'm positive the new VA will only get better with each new game.

[@vonVile]

Original VAs sound like they have more intensity.

[@Ai-fj1dc]

Takanori Hoshino does a great job since I didn't even know it was a new voice actor behind Iori. Still, when you compare Yasui to Hoshino, I really think Yasui has a better voice that fits more with Iori's madness when he laughs or when he executes SDMs.

[@josefinoalvares4275]

Thanks

[@tailbite4815]

1:32 The best!

[@Alexis.exe7]

Iori orochi 0...0

[@KhaidenTajigen]

The great thing Kunihiko Yasui did was that he'd always deliver the lines and yells in a different way each game. Paraphrasing him: "To add more realism/humanity". By doing that, he made the transition into a new VA much more easier to take. When I first heard Yagami in XIV, I thought it was just Yasui delivering the lines in a different way. There were parts in which his voice sounded deeper and less smooth than I remembered, but I attributed that to his age... turns out it was just a new voice actor. Fantastic job. It is always great when a new VA can sound so similar to the previous one.

[@stephenshampine11]

4 years later from this comment, I didn't know Yasui did that. Gonna keep that in mind, that's a person that cares about his craft.

[@kkrayne135]

The new VA does a fantastic job. He sounds so close to the original. He just needs to work on the intensity. Yasui's roar at 1:32 is just scary.

[@HitsujiMamoru]

I'm not the only one! Seriously, while I was suspicious with Kyo (and proven right, eventhough that new actor is really good at being Kyo), I was completely blown away by this one!! Damn is he spot-on!

He's pretty good. And the "Doushita" even sounds similar to the original VA. But I don't think he nailed the laugh, or the Super (Nake, sakebe, soshite shine.)

i just didn't like the new iori laugh but with yasui the laugh sounded like a whole he didn't even took a break or cut it but the new one mucked it up at the very beginning that's the only thing i mostly complain about

Kunihiko Yasui (KoF95-XIII) marcou a infância de todos os fãs brasileiros que jogavam os KOFs antigos incluindo Kof-Kyo onde tem centenas de frases do Iori Yagami. Nem tem como comparar uma lenda daquela época nostálgica com um substituto que até agora faz 4 papéis de dublagem.

When I first watched Yugioh 5d's, i thought Jack Atlas shared the same voice actor with Yagami, but now I only found that Yagami was not Takanori by then. Their voice really have some resemblance

[@wilsonng994]

You must have been thinking of Yasui Kunihiko san, who was the first voice actor of Iori Yagami. Takanori Hoshino san would replace Yasui san as the new voice for Iori Yagami starting from KOF XIV.

[@SoranErdeOld]

Takanori Hoshino is also the new Japanese voice of Mickey Mouse effective 2018. The more you know, and I find that to be a funny coincidence especially given Hoshino’s range.

[@Dragonfighter2013]

The new VA sounds like Kazuya from Tekken.

[@lefthandrule638]

As a Tekken player since Tekken 5, I can confidently say he doesn't sound like Kazuya. Sure, he has one or two similar grunts, but that's where the comparison ends.

La voz de Yasui tiene mucha más personalidad que la Hoshino, pero es que además, de muy lejos, es una voz que le va perfecta al personaje, y más siendo un personaje como lo es Iori en el KOF. Min 0:56, pero eso qué es?

Honestly, I can't choose which one is the best. Both of them did the great job as Yagami. Surely Yasui is the most known one since he voiced Yagami for years, but Hoshino is as good as Yasui, so..... leave this match a draw.

[@kevroo9959]

1:31 masterpiece¡¡¡¡

[@sakuramathic]

Hoshino is a good replacement. Emphasis on "replacement". Yasui's Iori is iconic, Hoshino just work on what was already established.

[@TheHelpful2]

Close. I don't mind the differences too much honestly. Plus, voice actors age and there will be a point when they won't be able to do their job anymore.

[@Victor-T92]

the doshita!! in the beginning when i played kof xiv i could not tell the difference but after i heard the battle grunts and the way how he spoke i noticed it was changed but i believe the new voice actor for ryo sakazaki is pretty much the best out of all new voices in the game

[@bluehedgehog123]

Mr Yasui sure did good as the voice for Iori for the king of fighters

[@ManaSpooky]

I quite like Hoshino. Yasui is iconic, but sometimes he sounded way too old for Iori (that was 16 years old when he made his debut in KoF '95).

[@BluM7861]

does anyone know why they changed voice actors? sucks that they did =/

[@royasturias1784]

1. SNK want to revitalize their IPs, now with some decent financial backing, KoF being one of them. 2. Some of the long-staying voice actors cannot retain the same iconic voices for their voice acts due to age, stress, schedule conflicts and other factors. 3. SNK want to make their new talent acquisitions to be recognized worldwide, so as to try to experiment with other roles. Takehito Koyasu, Katsuyuki Konishi, Miyuki Sawashiro and Kana Hanazawa are some of the Juggernauts in the profession. You wouldn't react the same when Suzuko Mimori succeeds the late Yuko Mizutani for the voice act of Sora from Digimon Adventure tri. I suggest that the anime Sore ga Seiyuu! should be binge-watched.

[@danhyang6881]

Don't forget that the past KOFs only have voices in yelling sound/moves. KOFXIV actually "has" more full-sentence dialogue than usual and *50* characters at launch, so SNK cannot just keep just some of the old VAs because they've become too famous and expensive by this point. It'd make more sense to spread the cost of each actor a bit more evenly, rather than splurge on 1 or 2 stars in a large cast.

[@royasturias1784]

***** She only voiced Angel in 2002 and 2002 UM.

[@royasturias1784]

***** You barely know how the voice acting industry works, more so in Japan. Do you think it is easy to voice a character that the higher-ups chose for the voice actor and to remain humble and polite in public? Of course...NOT! Start looking at the panoramic view that is life.

[@royasturias1784]
