Smash King [A Super Smash Bros. Machinima Series] Auditions V2
Project Overview
"This is a unique world, a world of trophies. These trophies become animate as characters recognizable to the outside world. That is because they are both that specific character and yet, they are not. Regardless, they all live with one default purpose: to fight...!"
This is a casting call for my ongoing Smash Bros. machinima series, Smash King, its spinoff, Smash King HD, and new distant sequel, Smash King 2Decades, where all series utilize the engines of Super Smash Bros Melee, Brawl, Wii U, and the recently released Ultimate.
The original Brawl series follows an incarnation of the infamous King of Koopas of the Marioverse, Bowser Koopa. Hampered by the reputation of an established villain and being a bottom tier character, this Bowser is unlike any his world has seen, for he has a conscience that makes him more receptible to be a good person. But, several circumstances come about through people around him and the world at large that further tempt him to revert back to his programmed evil ways. That is why he chooses to fight in the Smash King Tourney: to change the world for the better so that no other like him would suffer again. With Princess Peach at his side, they embark on their journey, but unbeknownst to them, Mario, who was long thought to be dead after his disappearance during the transfer of worlds, goes on his own journey to track them down... and kill Bowser.
The sequel series is set in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, 20 years after the original series. Things get political as it follows a brand-new incarnation of Bowser who seeks to continue his previous self's work and become the world's kingpin. While he will have many obstacles, his biggest one may come in the form of his rival, King K. Rool. A King that has everything versus a King that rises from nothing; who will come out on top?
Here are recent videos I've completed to provide an up-to-date reference to the quality you'll be expecting from this project:

Bio
Cloud Strife is an up-and-coming Spirit Hunter who gets wrapped up into being part of King K. Rool's crew. He's a subdued, aloof youth who wants to be above the nonsense of his peers. But, he at times falters due to either finding himself pulled into the madness or his own childishness and naivete. Despite this, he's a practiced swordsman in his own right with an adept mastery over magic, a power that grows each time he acquires certain Spirits. And after he claims them all, Cloud will be dead set on entering what is known as the "crater"...
Voice
You may choose to look to Cloud's official voice as a reference as that's what I'm honestly expecting. Either one of them works: either Steve Burton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egzeiQiGKBs) or Cody Christian. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffF2AH-Jp4o) That's not to discourage any new fresh portrayals you may believe works for the character either though.
I’m no kid. I’m Cloud Strife, Spirit Hunter. (Begrudgingly) ...in training.
(Determined) Alright, Ifrit. I’m taking you back, whether you like it or not!
(Embarrassed) Alright, uh... "We are the Blunder-Busters, Happy Hunters and Model Minions; how may we help you?"
Bio
Azurite the Greninja, "Azure" for short, is another Spirit Hunter in training. He's a wild and loud ball of energy who adores battle, always up to burst onto the scene to demonstrate his supposed skills. He is VERY much unlike a traditionally quiet ninja, and that typically is what gets him and the people around him in trouble. Yet, he claims that he was a much more competent warrior in the past. After a big conflict, Azure gains a deep respect of K. Rool's own power and knowledge of Spirits that he willingly joins his crew.
Voice
For Azurite, I'm looking for a voice that nails the excitable, fiendish nature of the character. I'm not necessarily picturing anything sounding similar to Greninja's actual "voice" from the Pokemon series, but I also wouldn't mind that more "gremlin" take as long as the elements I'm looking for shine through.
(Overzealous) Jaaa! You call Azurite, the tidal tempest himself, a rookie?! The flames of that beast are oppressive, that may be. But, they are paltry to the vicious tsunami that is me!
(Wickedly) *cackles, then slurps* My path to resurgence is within reach… Jaaa...
(Panicky) GRENIIIIII~N!
Bio
Byleth is the local teacher at New Donk City's Wrinkly Academy, and one of King Bowser's three personal instructors alongside Wii Fit Trainer. While WFT trains the body, this new-gen Trophy trains the mind, guiding the Neo Koopa Troop in their journey of learning more about the world as they travel to the other Cardinal Sectors throughout the tournament. He can however get carried away in his own pursuit of knowledge to a comical degree, as he sometimes hyper-focuses on a new discovery or over something he's only ever heard rumors about.
Voice
Byleth's voice can range from the male version's official voice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqzbJPTvHI) or something else entirely. As he's a minor role, I'm not too picky as long as he sounds mature and well-read like a school teacher.
The contamination of the Trophies made it so that we still feel the Twin Banes’ grasp even now, and that affects the Spirits. And they have also lost their home. Are we truly the only ones suffering?
Now, can anyone explain what ‘The World’s Vanquishment’ is to me?
(Excited) This... This is incredible! A world where 3D perception ceases to be?! And I feel as normal as Mr. Game & Watch! How is this possible?! Is this merely an illusion?! Did my body change?! I must figure this out!
While Sora isn't set to appear in Smash King 2Decades just yet, there is a special project I'm developing in the background that features him. And since I want to keep that project under wraps right now, I'm choosing to refrain giving him a full bio as to not spoil it.
For this project, I'm specifically depicting the KH2 version of Sora. So, I'd like his voice to come close to Haley Joel Osment's portrayal of the character in that time period. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxqD8VQehaM)
The name's Sora. Don't worry, I won't hurt you... You hungry?
(Confused) Huh? Wh-But-Hoooow? I did NOT see anything like this when I looked down! What kind of place IS this?
(Determined) You're so caught up in the shadows... that you forgot about the light that casts them.
