Bayonetta 2 I enjoyed and want to play Persona 5, but I'm not touching any FE games due to Nintendo of Japan's obsessively obnoxious over-marketing of the games and Three Houses killed any interest I had in them
I love Three Houses and FE in general, but Corrin and Byleth were just not hype for me at all. Meanwhile, I never played Persona, Banjo & Kazooie, FF7, or Bayonetta yet those were the characters I got the most hyped for because they were so surprising or I was just so happy for their fans. On top of that many people who love Mario hated Piranha Plant (not me). Granted that part of the reason I wasn't hyped for Hero was due to not having played the games, but it was also because he just seemed like "Wizard Link" and Geno felt pretty much dead in the water then. Perhaps your comment is generally true but it's definitely not the case for everyone. I also don't have the luxury of buying every game I see get represented in Smash and I'm honestly a picky gamer so I don't think it'd really make much of a difference for me.
4/5 - Great start to the DLC for 4, and it introduced me to the late, forever great Etika. 4/5 - Weeeeeeeell... he ain't my boy, but the brutha was heavy. My Boy/5 - My main in Melee and was my biggest want for Smash 4 was to see him come back. 3/5 - Culturally important, but boring to me. 4.5/5 - Never played a single Final Fantasy game, but even I was kind of hyped. 2/5 - Never played a single Fire Emblem game, but I didn't outright hate them like other people did. 3.5/5 - Didn't care much for her, but she's alright. 2.5/5 - Very dissapointing reveal, but I easily got over it. It probably helps that I got it for free. 3/5 - Never played a single Persona game, so he did nothing for me. 3/5 - Meh, fine I guess. Got me to try out Dragon Quest XI at least, and so far it's a pretty good if basic RPG. Gu-Huh/5 - One of my most wanted characters for Smash, a true dream come true. 3.5/5 - Never played a single Fatal Fury or King of Fighters game, but the sheer content easily won me over. He's alright. 2/5 - The only fighter to ever be overshadowed by a Mii Costume. Creative moveset attached to a thoroughly boring character from an over-represented-relative-to-it's-popularity-and-impact series. F!Byleth is cute, though.
Everyone and their mother has been predicting a Hollow Knight costume since December, so that really doesn't do much for this leak.
There are plenty of human-type characters who could fit in Smash (Travis Touchdown, Master Chief, Chosen Undead, Nightmare), I just strongly prefer that they be an important part of gaming history, or actually be on a Nintendo console, or have a unique aesthetic, or don't have an official spread in playboy magazine beforehand
3/5 - I love Pokemon and he was a requested veteran, but I can't say I care much about Mewtwo, or Gen 1 favoritism 2/5 - I don't care much about Earthbound but he was a respectable returning veteran 2/5 - Veteran, but poorly timed 4/5 - Very interesting choice, I approve! 1/5 - "X is more qualified than Cloud" became an inside joke among my friends, would've chosen a different FF rep. -10/5 - Worst choice imaginable 0/5 - Marketing ploy, she did not win the Smash Ballot. But was at least a novelty third party. F****** over the meta. 5/5 - I love wacky choices like this, plus the moveset is super inspired and has a lot of personality. 0/5 - Never cared about Persona, nothing to do with Nintendo, inclusion enabled a lot of obnoxious behavior from the Persona/Xenoblade/Modern FE bubble. 3/5 - Never played Dragon Quest but his spells are cool and the legacy has more than earned the series the spot. 10/5 - Incredible victory, the bear and bird are BACK!!! Home at last! 3/5 - Never played any of SNK's games, but it was nice to learn more about the franchise, and its' relation to the origins of Smash! -5/5 - MOD EDIT
Wait a second, is this a joke or did Bayonetta actually have an official spread in Playboy magazine? That almost seems too ridiculous to be true.
There was a cosplay shoot, in the run up to Bayo 2’s release. Officially endorsed by Nintendo, surprisingly.
4/5 even though I never played him, it was cool seeing him back5/5 Played him alot in Brawl, was happy to see him back 4/5 I wasnt into FE at the time but he looked pretty cool to me 5/5 Was pretty shocked to see him and was intrested in his move inputs lol5/5 I was pretty damn existed to see him5/5 I liked Male corrin so by default I liked this character. Let me be happy 5/5 I love Bayo, period5/5 It was a cute addition to the game5/5 I love Persona, period5/5 I love DQ, Period2/5 Sadly I wasnt as intrested in this character5/5 Seeing such an iconic character made me happy5/5 I love male Byleth and I love Three Houses.again Let me be ****ing happy
Not gonna lie, im kinda happy to see someone that stated this. I though i was the only one who felt this way.
It’s real lol
Mega paranoid, gotta do a ritual so the Geno one doesn't show up lol
Just say that you only care for characters that appeal to you then. Nintendo has literally taken Bayonetta under their wing so I dont see how she isn't an honorary Nintendo character to you.
And why wouldn’t they? Atlus has a strong history with Nintendo, and why wouldn’t they get Atlus’s biggest/most popular series? Sure, they could’ve chosen an SMT character, but similarly to what Sakurai said about Cloud over someone like Terra, why would they when Persona is objectively more popular?
The same I have been with everything else on Smash announcements, cautiously optimistic.
Bandana Dee, Magolor, Captain Toad, Waluigi, Impa, Skull Kid, Vaati, Midna, Hades,Medusa, Isaac, Dixie Kong, Wonder Red, Chibi Robo, Ashley, Sylux, Porky, Ninten, Chorus Kids, Octolings, Fawful, King Boo, Rex & Pyra, Black Shadow, Krystal etc. etc. etc.
: 5/5, The #1 cut veteran I was hoping would come back during the Sm4sh days, by far one of my favorites: 4/5, I wasn't too big of a fan of Lucas in Brawl but I really enjoyed him in Sm4sh, became one of my secondaries for a while: 4/5, Just like Lucas, I wan't too big of a fan of Roy in Melee but I really liked him in Sm4sh. I don't know if it's just me but he just felt too 'floaty', I felt like that issue was fixed and he became a lot more fun to play.: 5/5, I played a lot of Street Fighter 2 back in the day with my dad so it was awesome seeing Ryu join the fight, I also loved the input methods.: 5/5, It's Cloud f***ing Strife, the fact he's even in the game to this day still surprises me lmao.: 3/5, I wasn't that well aware of Fire Emblem and its lore but I understood that it was an RPG. I thought Corrin was fun at first but they became very forgettable.: 4/5, This was the first time I learned of the Bayonetta series so I was really interested in her moveset. After she came out I tried the original Bayo on my PS3 and I really enjoyed it, great newcomer too!: 5/5, As a Waluigi and Geno fan I was a little salty about the plant at first but he's one of my favorite characters. His moveset is just so unique and you gotta love how much charm and character Sakurai was able to give him.: 4/5, Gotta admit, : 4/5, I was excited for the Hero but I couldn't really get used to him. I use him every now and then and I love the moveset, it's just not really for me.: 5/5, It took 20 years but I'm happy they're finally home.: 3/5, Like Hero I couldn't really get used to him. I think Terry is really fun to play as but I become bored with him after a month or two.: 3/5, I'll let the Fire Emblem lads have Byleth (Still wanna try Three Houses one of these days, debating though if I should start with Three houses or the 3DS games), but I personally wasn't excited for Byleth at first. I had fun with them when they released but they aren't my favorite FE rep, personally they just feel too slow.
Don't forget Louie!
6/5 - If none of ya have noticed, Mewtwo's been my main for 4 and Ultimate. I wanted him to come back so much in Smash 4 and it was great seeing him new and updated4/5 - Was a very welcome returning character from Brawl, though I never really play as Lucas or Ness. It was still really great to see them bring him back! 5/5 - Like Mewtwo, Roy was another character I had big nostalgia for from Melee. He ranks as one of my mains in 4 and Ultimate though would be replaced with Geno in a heart beat 4.5/5 - Again, another very welcome edition to the roster, but I've never cared much for Ryu's moveset. It was great seeing possibly the most iconic fighting game character of all time get the chance to Smash.4.5/5 - Feel similar about him as I do to Ryu. Was iconic and an impossibility, but I never liked playing as him very much. I had kinda taken a break from Smash speculation after Mewtwo mostly, so I never got the real effect of shock of Cloud Strife being in Smash, but he's still very welcome none the less.1/5 - I felt Corrin was just unnecessary. Fates seems to be divisive among FE fans and people were even beginning to suggest a moratorium on FE characters after Roy. Honestly, Corrin is probably my least favorite Smash newcomer of all time 3.5/5 - Eh, I just wasn't excited for her I guess. Never had very strong connections to Bayo very much though her addition made sense. Feel like Bayo's just never interested me too much (You're gonna hear this a lot going forward). 1.5/5 - Man, this one was just ugh. I feel like all Plant had going for him was memes, but those inevitably disappeared a week after his release when everyone moved onto the next joke to beat to death (Even when they were relevant, Plant memes were still pretty annoying IMO). I feel like the timing of his reveal didn't help after Ken and Incineroar were revealed and many mistook his trailer for Geno (Though, I didn't watch the direct live, so I'll never know that pain)3.5/5 - Never played a Persona game before, mostly because I've never owned a PS4 and I have no intention of getting one. He's got his fans and all, but again, he just didn't interest me too much. 3/5 - I think they executed him in a neat way with the Hero alts, but I'd heard little of DQ before Erdrick's name began cropping up among insiders. I know he's got his audience in Japan and that's cool and he definitely has his place in gaming history with DQ basically setting the standard for modern RPGs, but he just didn't pique my interest all too much personally. 5/5 - The FP1 showstopper, it was great to see the bear and bird finally come home. I love the way he plays and he was a fan request on the tier of Geno for me. He honestly made the somewhat middling pass 1 feel a lot more worth it to me.2.75/5 - This was a difficult one to rank. I know he's got his place in gaming history as well, but he (say it with me now) just doesn't interest me. I'm not sure I'd ever really heard of Terry prior to the SNK leak, so it just all felt kinda weird, ya know? Top it off with a play style I'm not huge on and it just makes me feel rather eh and Terry.1/5 - Woo boy, gonna try as hard as possible not to let the evil out on this one. Byleth was just that for me, another FE character that didn't interest me much and just gave me bad vibes. I think the lead up to FP5 was the perfect storm of events that just made me not like this character at all. Was he worse than Corrin though? Nah. At least 3 Houses was received well by most and was out everywhere for several months before they dumped him into Smash (Fates wasn't even out in the US come Corrin's reveal). So hey, at least he isn't the absolute worst. Now lemme wrap this up before I start ranting again.
Yes. I do only care about characters that appeal to me. Correct.
NONONONONO you need to have MY taste or I’ll take offense
>Damn near every character got a 5/5 except for Banjo
>Makes watered-down, microtransaction-laden versions of their hit games for mobile
-4/5. I was mostly just happy for other people.5/5. Probably one of the more emotional DLC reveals for me because, damn, there were a lot of tear jerker comics about Lucas getting cut. It was really satisfying to have him back..- 2/5. Mostly happy for his fans but that was about it.- 4/5. Huge gaming icon and kind of the indicator that DLC was going to be a lot more ambitious than we originally. - 3/5. Huge mixed bag. Wasn't excited for him personally but it was nice seeing other people's reactions, including my older cousin who has HIV and life has just been generally miserable since his teens. It was a deeply personal moment between the two of us and one of my favorite gaming memories as an adult.- 2/5. A character that was ruined by all the whining. Doesn't help that Fates is terrible too. - 2/5. No attachment to the character but it made me hopeful of the lengths Nintendo would go in the future. - 3/5. Fun character but the novelty wore off fast, especially with the contrarian bandwagoning. 2/5. Copy and paste my thoughts on Bayo. 3/5. Yet another giant mixed bag. Another character that would have been better for me if it hadn't leaked and people didn't use him as a platform for hoping Geno would be deconfirmed.. 5/5. Childhood favorite and someone I pretty much gave up on back in the early Brawl days. Easily my favorite DLC character so far. 4/5. Had no clue who he was but I love the character now. Love the personality. Love that he's a Japanese take on an American accent. Basically someone I never knew I wanted until he joined Smash. - 2/5. Great character, absolute dog**** timing. Didn't help that he came at the end of the worst period in my entire 15 years of Smash speculation.

To be honest I get it, you shouldn't really hesitate on telling people exactly what you want. Like I was happy with how FP 1 turned out even if none of the characters were my absolute favorites. If I had the magic button to decide what the first FP would have been like; I would've pressed it and we would have gotten something like:
I think it comes from the fact we did have a N64 but I just never ever seemed intrested in Banjo Kazooie. If we did have it, I sure dont remeber playing it. I cant give it a 0 because I knoe its someones fav character, wouldnt be far to give it a 0 just because it isnt my type of character.
Boo. I enjoyed Conquest more than Three Houses, gameplay-wise at least.
