There they go, saying what we're all thinking.

Just finished reading up some salt off of Reddit/Twitter.
I'm not mega-hyped for Sephiroth but anyone that's legitimately mad about his inclusion deserves to have their lunch money stolen and get shoved into a locker.

So it is a pre-existing song then...
I really hope they don't do what they did for Hero and just make it his Victory Fanfare.

I mean... The beginning was fire, but at the moment I find the whole show quite lame: I've seen a lot of coop and zombie games revealed, but only a few interesting stuff. Maybe they're keeping the biggest announcements for the end of the show?

The collateral project looks dope if you like dead space. Return all looks great and perfect dark has a new game so that neat but yeah Sephiroth is what really matters.
Sephiroth - y'know the fact that there's even a remotely present group of people upset about this. Blows my mind! Like yeah there are newcomers; even ones I personally liked, that I can understand being a bit divisive. But like, are there people naysaying Sephiroth? Even indifference, I understand. But wow, couldn't have imagined that people would actively oppose an inclusion such as this.

I don't know what's more insane. FF7 got another rep, Perfect Dark is back or that the "real" Buzz Lightyear (not the toy) is getting his own movie.

Well then thank gosh we never caught wind of it. This was so downright unbelievably left-field, in the best way.

Well...
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Negan was not an isolated incident after all.

Well, a whole bunch of MWs probably got decomfirmed due to him. Regardless of his legacy, they picked another FF7 character over the abundance of other SE franchise's. So some people are gonna feel a bit icky.

Alright so if Pepsiman ISN’T the next pick, I’ve decided I will delete my account.
**** just got real, lads. DON’T TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF IT.

Geno was one of my most wanteds. This is better; not that I would've known that had it not happened.

I sincerely doubt they would have damage numbers that far in advance.

I mean, I feel like that's subjective.

Now that we know that multiple characters can come from the same 3rd party franchise (or even the same game no less), what are the characters you guys would want the most either now or in future games?

I really hope they don't leave Chun-Li out of this due at this point.

I dunno man, seems like a pretty meaningless bet. Dude's a lock.

I wouldn't expect more, but if I had to choose, Chun-Li should be definitely among the first.

I know this is a huge stretch, but maybe Nintendo tried to negotiate Sora to be in Smash, but ultimately failed due to Disney's copyright problems and Sephiroth was added as an alternative to that. That or Nintendo/Square really wanted him from the beginning.
I have no idea if the video game or the ad campaign came first and I'm too lazy to go check. With that in mind... dammit I hope so. He'd be sick.

Question, if the next amiibo come out around March and we don't hear anything about new amiibo in Sephiroth's showcase or the next challenger's, will amiibo theory be gone for good?

That was what I was kinda thinking

Due to the other Square characters available, I feel that they wanted him the whole time.
I think what's most likely is what's been presented already; that Cloud was held hostage for the DLC we're getting now. Sakurai and co. wanted "EVERYONE IS HERE!" and that gave Square pretty much total leverage, haha.

This is it. THIS is the character this pass I'm happy with. I don't even mind that he wasn't on my list of wanteds and that he lessens my most wanted's chances. It's mothertrucking Sephiroth. I wanted one character this pass that I really liked and you know what? This is it!
Definitely another Sonic character. Franchise 100% deserves another one. Obviously I'm partial to Eggman, but Tails, Shadow, or maybe Metal Sonic would be good choices too.

I'd love proof on this though.

Another pattern coming through for you:
Assuming those rumors about Sephiroth being part of the deal to get Cloud back are true (IF they are true) then all 3 characters so far are leftovers from Ultimate's development that Nintendo couldn't add to the plan on time.
Sakurai already told us what happened with ARMS. Minecraft's negotiations took a long time. And now apparently Square wanted Sephiroth to be paired with Cloud.

Drs. Eggman/Wily, Gilgamesh, Alucard
And I'd be perfectly fine with Dante not showing up in Ultimate if that means he's in a double reveal with Vergil.
There was a punctuation error.

I guess we can all agree that Sephiroth inclusion kinda killed the possibility of another Square character (Sora) in Ultimate, right? (Or maybe in another Fighter Pass, which i don't think it's going to happen)

Definitely Eggman or Chun-li

Had that theory as well, Sakurai was like “well if if I can’t get the hypest pick I’ll get the second best thing dammit”

If this pattern holds true, it could bode well for characters like Chorus Kids, Geno, and Rex, who we all know Sakurai wanted to add in the past and wasn't able to

Well, I'm not seeing yet another Final Fantasy character making the bout at least.
Won't say Geno is out of the running yet tho. Even if this deminish the chances greatly.
