Yh I don't think it's the VA's fault. The director just didn't understand the assignment for Steve. Cuz this is the same voice actor he has had since Tekken 6... Steve actually sounds realistic from T6 to T7 (Including Tag 2 and SFXT), but here he sounds like a presenter for a Children's TV Show. Specifically a British Children's show that released in the early to late 2000's. Best example I could give is Mr Tumble... Steve's VA is also from Windsor, which is a very posh area, so it makes sense how he sounds from T6 to T7, but now it feels very unrealistic as this feels like a British Caricature/Stereotype more than how a British person sounds. I'm from the UK, and I can tell you...no British talks like this apart from presenters or fictional characters 😂.

But, Steve is a fictional character. Not to mention he's friends with a Bruce Lee archetype, has fought literal demons, cyborgs, robots, animals who can somehow communicate via growls etc. I find this voice to be, more eccentric for that matter.

Watching the story dialogue just now made me realize that Steve has 2 different persnalities. His battle grunts make him seem like he rarely ever talks, and the way he's been presented, especially in the T4 intro and the Tag 2 intros is like he's a pretty boy/dirty boxer, but in the story mode, he's a regular dude with not much of a personality...

The game keeps getting elevated with different graphic changes as the times goes by, the same could not be said for every VA for they all had that British accent that brought about the character. That being said the new VA for is fine but the delivery for it awkward in some areas. Might need to hear more of it as the game progresses. Also for most of us it easier to have to hear characters that have a different language barrier to often judge their voice acting isnt that right!

It's the same voice actor lol. Just new voiceover direction...which is why Steve sounds familiar, but different. Trust me...if a voice actor is given bad direction...then the performance will also be bad. Same goes for acting. I mean look at Ada Wong in the RE4 Remake, granted that's the actress from the terrible live action film and not the games, but the direction didn't pay out for her. Then she deleted all her social medias, and blamed people not liking her performance because of racism, sexism, etc. When in reality she just didn't sound good, and she wasn't given good direction. Luckily...Steve's VA was only given the shit end of the stick this time around. For as you can see here... Gideon Emery (Steve's VA), actually sounds natural in previous installments starting from T6 and ending in T7. He didn't voice Steve in T4 and T5. Those were 2 different people lol.

@@HoDoBoDo Okay a couple of misconceptions here is that you're wrong about is that 1. The VA of Ada Wong(Lily Gao) for RE4 remake also came out with a dlc expansion for the game and it was really good according to reviews which set the tone for her performance in that game given the tone of a dark story thread that is Resident Evil 4. The 2nd in regards to Steve VA(Gideon Emery) was that he's not the 1st voice actor for Steve Fox but was a definitive one after the other 2 Tekken games (Tekken 4 & 5), That is when of course the change for now in Tekken 8. Hell this is not even new where is commonly the case for every and any voice actor/actress in every Tekken games. Hwoarang being voiced by 3 American, 2Japanese & 1 Korean voice actors which outside by us english people can't tell em apart from the way they speak, Lili being voiced by 1 American,1 French & 2 Japanese voice actresses and lastly King who weirdly enough tho he doesn't have a voice actor in the games but somehow has a Japanese voice actor for the Tekken Bloodline anime (I don't even know HOW is that even possible).
