You're going to love it. The Paradigm Shift system and the new ATB system makes the fights more exciting. If you don't already know, Paradigm Shift allows to essentially change the "jobs" of each character in a fight. You change it to fit the situation. Come to think of it, if Lightning was in Super Smash Bros., this would be perfect for her.
I know that I probably shouldn't make a totally serious response to this, but it is interesting that in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, they considered using creatures from Resident Evil to represent the series (specifically the Tyrant), but they dropped the idea because they would look too grotesque. I would imagine that something similar would work against them in Smash too.
Mind you that Ryu is pretty much the face of the fighting game genre. That's why him and Chun-Li are the two front most on the boxart. Also, on the NamcoXCapcom boxart, Megaman's in the bottom center. Of course, I wouldn't look too much into this other than that if it won't be Megaman, it'll be Ryu for a Capcom character.
If I had my way, it'd be Sonic and Vyse (Skies of Arcadia), Snake and Simon Belmont, and MM and Chun Li (I can't help but feel she'd be a better choice overall than Ryu, though I'm sure most people disagree with that)
sounds good, but replace Simon Belmont for Richter Belmont or more notably Alucard. Only based on the fact that they are equally well known and Alucards coolness and uniqueness factor is off the charts compared to the Belmonts.
AH, I forgot abou Vyse (It never occurs to me he is SEGA). I'd definitely choose him as well. Care to clarify on Chun-li though? I don't see what she adds that Ryu doesnt.

but seriously she seems like she would fit into smash better imo.
Chun-Li is the first playable girl fighting game character and pretty much set up the token Chinese girl you see in fighting games. Still, this does not, imo, give her priority over Ryu. Technically, Ryu is the main character of the Street Fighter series so it makes more sense to add him.
She would fit fine in Smash. Her TvC specials are enough evidence of that. However, Ryu would no doubt be the better choice considering that Mario and Luigi in SSB pretty much had the same specials Ryu has (save for Red Hadouken and Donkey Kick).Feminine charm
"It's an overrated song" Is hardly an excuse considering almost every choice I picked (Disregarding the Tactics choices and the FF11 and 2 choice) to there perspective games.
I never said that's the reason why it was picked.
I suppose, but what I mean is that it gets a lot more hooplah than it deserves. One Winged Angel isn't really worth all the praise it gets, but the song does come closer to matching its hype.
I was tempted to go "not it doesn't" here, but that's sort of pointless, since saying any song captures the overall emotion of the game is just a matter of opinion. Still, I'd really have to disagree that it captures the spirit of the whole game (I'd personally go with Aria di Mezzo Carattere) and would also like to point out that the excuse that Kefka's role was large is invalidated by the fact that Terra's role was even larger.
Its still clearly Terra. :embarrass
The fact that it can represent SMRPG is pointless though since SMRPG would be much better represented by other music. There's no need to hit two birds with one stone when you get two inferior birds. While I can't speak fully for FFIV fans, SMRPG fans would almost certainly want a better song to represent their game.
A lot of songs in general don't get the "Praise they deserve". I can say that for tons of songs.
Well yeah, but you have to still remember that Kefka is more mentioned each time. It's much like how Sephiroth and Cloud are far more mentioned than every other FF7 character. It makes it more memorable and pretty much...More everything. FF6 just had so many chaotic devious and inhumane things and the song right there represents it.
How is that pointless If Sakurai can get other SMRPG songs for other stages?
It shows it's different in the series.
Well what else were you thinking to fit the scenery then? I have a hard time with 13 pretty different games :[ (especially with two I haven't played yet; Probably won't ever actually pay for the MMO)
I thought it was a temple or vague trans-dimensional zone type place with a lot of floating platforms or crystals and stuff to fit in line with a sort of other worldly battleground, which would thus fit well enough with several final boss style musical choices as well as other battle/boss themes, seeing as you have a rather lax amount of relaxed musical choices. Then again I suppose with a vague trans-dimensional zone type place, you can have calm music too. That's just how nice vague trans-dimensional zone type places are. (Though they can't really take in stuff like a jazzy Chocobo theme...but neither can a night forest really)
Hmm...How about a place like the crystal rooms in FF4 before you get the crystal? You should know what I'm talking about If you've played any. It's in other FF's and I can get a screenshot If you need it.
Nope. Not just SMRPG but the fact It's more of a notable song to that. That and FF4's is just so catchy/less repetitive/the fact it has more, well, momentum and smashing feel to it.

I tend to consider Waluigi the single worst character to enter Nintendo's roster. He's an abomination of the video game industry, and the epitome of it's worst aspect, "lack of innovation".Echofinder said:
Already beaten to this, but Simon's the face of the whole series. And I don't keep track of Castlevania character cameos, but I'm pretty sure out of the dozen or so times Konami has done them, only once did they not use Simon. Plus I like this picture.
I wouldn't say that Simon is the face of the series, just happens to be the original.
It could work. Personally though, I was thinking something more like FF7's stage from FF Dissidia.
Again, saying what's better or not is generally a case of opinions, but...I've still go to question how you're really ranking IV's boss music over VI. I understand that you may want to say Dancing Mad would be a better choice, and depending on the stage it may be, but really now. The start of IV's boss fight music is pretty bad, and it only gets good at around half a minute. Its build up is screwed up, especially in comparison to FFVI's boss music.
I am with you, I do not get it, but it is the most popular theme. I think it is the southern "twang" that attracts people, not sure.
This. The only problem is that most smash players aren't into the competitive scene. That, and there are only so many ways to dress up Battleground and Final Destination to look like fresh stages.
I wouldn't say that it's just the stages, but the dumbing down of the gameplay. After playing just a little bit of Melee Saturday and my time with Street Fighter IV and II HD Remix, BlazBlue, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Brawl was a step back from the standard that Melee had set. Note, I'm not saying Melee is perfect. I think L-Canceling is the stupidest thing ever put into Smash next to random tripping.
You could make the argument that the competitive scene isn't that large because there aren't enough people interested. To bring up the Blue Ocean Strategy that Toise and Chu adore, instead of appealing strictly to the established audience, appeal to other audiences like the traditional fighting game community and other competitive communities as well (something Melee was close to achieving). As I've said before, Smash has the potential to become one of the greatest fighting game series. Right now, it's being held back.
I do agree that brawl was a small step back as far as gameplay mechanics go.
well negative points to you for negativing me. :]
That sounds like a good idea; Through that's only really in 7 last I remember. I think the crystal palace works the best not because of what it can fit but more because of the type of "Theme" Final Fantasy has and revolving around crystal's with it's unique settings but that's just me.
we're arguing because it's hard to decide what goes for each game. I already did the hard part; It's just that a few tracks aren't the best fitting. I just need to decide on which chocobo theme to pick - Kinda is hard to when I already have a track for eveyr game.
I understand, but you have to evolve the gameplay. Adding in characters, music, etc., isn't enough. Even Sakurai said that a larger roster would not justify a sequel (maybe an update).
Maybe an original arrangement (lol oxymoron) of the Chocobo Theme?
