Yeah, I'm a tad pissed that they're spending all this time and money getting these 3rd parties in as DLC, when there's a perfectly good, heavily requested, FIRST PARTY veteran that they apparently can't find time for. Despite the fact that Brawl's cuts hurt a lot more, we only get one Brawl vet back, and two from Melee. WTF.

If we by some insane Sakurai Magic get Ridley im quitting smashboards and all smash speculation. Im grabbing my bad, dropping out of college and exploring the world and learning what it means to live.

Because the apocalypse would be coming.

Who cares. I'm sure other people knew too, they're not desperate and pathetic enough to try and seek some attention though, those unsung heroes should be thanked honestly for not leaking anything so things were more hype for the community.
You knew, didn't you?

So, a night after the Direct... Can't say that I'm super excited for Cloud, but I guess he's cool none the less and I'm happy for those who really wanted him in. Not sure if I enjoy the emphasis on 3rd parties though. The Direct itself wasn't anything major to me either really haha, glad we're getting that special Smash broadcast in December, something to look forward to in the near future.

Half of me loves that Cloud got in just because he's an iconic video game character.

The other half is laughing like crazy that Sakurai keeps making @SmashChu's, and any anti-third party person's, Smash life a living hell.

Swamp do you just accuse everyone of knowing things? Lol. Unlike the Completionist, I wasn't invited to any Direct showing, I got to enjoy it and be surprised with the rest of you :p

Yes, all one of us are very thrilled. xD

@SmashChu has been right this entire time.

We didn't get Snake back, did we?

Even if it isn't a "requirement", you can't honestly believe we'd get any character that has yet to be on a Nintendo system, right?

Right?
To be fair, people had been talking about Cloud even jokingly as far back as I can remember. Yesterday's joke it today's truth.

Fighting game mascot. JRPG mascot.
What else? FPS mascot? MMO? MOBA?
I'm not sure who these can be as I don't play much moba or MMOs.

My guess is pretty early on, since they would have to reach an agreement and legal mumbo jumbo.
That's a good point, that I hadn't even factored into the timeframe I had in my head.
I'm really starting to think Cloud might have been in development around the time of or before the Roy/Ryu reveal, based on how finished he looked in the trailer.

Man I'm thinking with Cloud getting an Advent Children alt believes that we could get special alternate costumes for other fighters.

I'm not talking about Cloud.

Hasn't he technically been on Nintendo systems a few times?
Cloud has, yes.
I'm talking about Push's .....pushing.... on the fact Sakurai never stated being on a Nintendo system was an actual requirement.
Even if it's true, it doesn't mean characters like Kratos and Master Chief, who (for obvious reasons) never been on Nintendo systems, are reasonable.

If the character is iconic, and well known then I believe they not only have a good shot but a better shot than most of the choices we have as a community.

To be honest, as much as I want Wolf to come back, I wouldn't be all that disappointed if he doesn't show up. But I would like another Brawl vet. He or Snake would be neat.

On the subject of "uninspired movesets"....

People need to stop counting swords as a character's gimmick. Just because a character uses a sword doesn't automatically mean they're going to be another Marth/Ike.

Nobody ever says "We have too many fistfighters!" or "We have too many magic users!" or "We have too many characters with guns!". Sword-based characters can bring as much to the table as characters using just about any other weapon. Smash 4 demonstrated this perfectly with Shulk and Robin, who play nothing like the other swordsmen.

I'm not talking about Cloud.


Cloud has, yes.

I'd say the problem with characters like Kratos and Master Chief isn't their lack of a Nintendo presence, it's their developers. Their series are bound to Sony and Microsoft respectively. Square and Nintendo, on the other hand, have a relationship and collaborate every now and again.

My apologies if I'm not explaining this all that clearly.

The day "Master Chief" and "good shot for Smash" are used in a sentence unironically in an affirmative sense is the day I lose ALL hope for the fanbase.

You know I can't take a person seriously when they suggested that Cloud stole Ike's final Smash when his Omnislash existed 11 years before Ike was in Brawl. And worst that he has counter and has to play like Ike and Shulk.

No, **** off with that BS. There's being disappointed and there's being an delusional ass clown.

Im sorry he's not as special as K. Rool or has an following like Wolf and I want both of them but you shouldn't judge a character from being this stupid.


Did :4feroy:analpained people so hard to where every sword fighter has to be like :4marth::4myfriends:&:4shulk:

So.

It's not technically a requirement to be on Nintendo consoles, but it's still better if they've at least been around once.

If they've never been on a Nintendo console, the only other option is a rival console...



Hey, you know who's on a rival console and was on Nintendo consoles?





Ballot intensifies.

It was happening long before Roy's DLC was announced.

"No more anime swordsmen!" was actually used a lot on Shulk himself before and after his confirmation.

So, the question is, if we're getting a triple release in December, who? Cloud is one of them obv.

And... do you think they'll all be newcomers?
