You are aware that like Bya said voice actors are attached at any point? Most of the time depending on the nature of the game they don't get attached near the end of development, but for a fighter it's a random point.

Already getting voice actors means jack shit, there's been cases where the actors are hired when the script is finalised it doesn't mean they "finishing up" for all we know they could be early in development and are simply getting a basic script for voice actors before getting the finalised script, you're jumping to such assumptions where it seems poorly thought.

Different developers work on things differently, some work on the design of it like maps, worlds etc THEN the script. It's purely based on how the developers work.
