Change Cube Voice Clip Removal

About this project

Removes the infamous voiced clips (Charlotte! Johnathon! alt. Sharotto! Jonasan!) played when switching between the two playable characters; both the English and Japanese sound files are affected. All other voices clips and sound effects are untouched.

This patch is mainly targeted towards speedrunners, as the fastest method of moving in this game relies on quickly switching from one character to another in rapid succession, leading to the voice clips in question being played repeatedly, and may become grating over the course of multiple playthroughs.

Includes patches for both the United States and European versions.
Patches are supplied in the .xdelta format. The author of this patch recommends patching using xdelta UI.
A video showcasing the patch in action can be found here.
