Mortal Kombat 11 Is Letting A DJ Voice Sub-Zero And, Bless Him, He's Trying

Illustration for article titled Mortal Kombat 11 Is Letting A DJ Voice Sub-Zero And, Bless Him, He's Trying

Renowned Belgian DJ Dimitri Vegas did the music for Mortal Kombat 11’s launch trailer. Next week, developer NetherRealm Studios is releasing a Sub-Zero skin featuring Vegas’ likeness, which is great. It also features Vegas’ voice, and that’s not so great.
Mortal Kombat 11’s voice cast consists of proper professional voice actors with a firm handle on what they are doing (and also Ronda Rousey). So when someone like Dimitri Vegas lends his pipes to a character—especially one whose lines are already voiced by the incomparable Steve Blum—the difference in quality is jarring. While Dimitri Zero, as fans are calling him, is not live in the game yet, his files are already in place, so modders have been able to share his unique spin on the dialogue. Have a listen, courtesy of Gamer XL on Facebook.

It’s not that Vegas is not trying. He sounds like he’s having fun with it, at least. He’s just not trained for this sort of thing, so the results sound, as one Redditor put it, “like a low budget anime dub.”


Mortal Kombat Reddit is having a lot of fun with the Vegas skin and voice. Some say it’s horrible. Others are looking forward to deploying the skin as a sign of disrespect to their opponents. There are also fans who don’t mind Vegas’ delivery, bless their souls. Then there are those who say it really just sounds like a Belgian DJ trying to play a ninja warrior who speaks English. Personally, I think that’s exactly what it sounds like.

Longer YouTube video comparisons, like the one featured by Eurogamer earlier today, have been copyright claimed into oblivion. Expect the floodgates to open wide on August 22 when the free Dimitri Vegas Sub-Zero skin is officially released.

Who is this guy? I’ve literally never heard of him. It’s like if the “Cash me ousside” girl from Dr. Phil was cast in an Off-the-Strip performance of some obscure French black comedy. Like... ok? What am I supposed to feel before you give me a coupon for half off the buffet? Do I have to listen to a time share pitch or something? Let me off the tour bus, please. I don’t feel right.

The voice acting is an actual 1/10 and all, but I think it’s a pretty cool gesture for Dimitri because NRS appreciated his work. I mean literally nobody in the community thought to themselves that they wanted Dimitri Vegas to be part of the game, so this is definitely just a neat way to say ‘thanks’.

I can't believe they wasted money on this, sounds like he is speaking through a cheap ass microphone too.

Ronda is S tier compared to this.
I would also like to reinforce the fact that NRS spent money on this.


:)
You keep saying that, but did they really? This seems way more like a "favor" situation than something someone at NRS actively sought to do, especially since this skin'll be distributed for free.
Well, I guess making it in the first place must've had at least some cost to begin with, so ehh.
Maybe they wanted to make something to surpass Infrared Scorpion from MKX as the worst ever skin in a MK game.

Lmao wow not sure whos worse actually it's close between him and Ronda. NRS can I audition? I'm not a pro but I actually have voice acting experience better than these two good lord...
