Stage 1: What? Really? What's this? Why is Wii Fit Trainer in my SSB4?
Stage 2: Heh, I bet she throws yoga balls *strange slurping sound*
Stage 3: Well, I guess she's the WTF character like Game and Watch and R.O.B...
Stage 4: Someone get me a copy of Wii Fit. I've got to research this sh*t. ADVENTURE TIME!!!
Stage 5: Gonna be my new main. Yep, definitely gonna be my new main.
Stage 6:

At first I was confused as to why Sakurai chose her. Upon researching I found out that Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus sold a quarter million units each, making them the 6th and 7th most bought Wii games. She represents a large fanbase for Nintendo and deserves a spot.

Besides, she grew on me and has a creative moveset... also dat rule 34.

I had no idea what rule 34 was, so I looked it up. Luckily, I clicked on the link that had cracked.com, so it wasn't as bad as it could'v been.

Heh, that one girl in the blue tank top there slapped Johnny Bravo upside down when he tried to flirt with her, just imagine what WFT would do if he flirted with her...

Wii Fit Trainer can make even the silent protagonist complain it seems :laugh:

Cool vid. Would give 560 likes to if I could.

Also, I have no reaction except for pokerface.jpg cause Wii Fit Trainer got spoiled for me here at Smashboards. I saw a Wii Fit Trainer specific board, heard about a certain 'WFT' and thought, the hell is all this commotion? So I checked the site, saw the trailer and was first like



WUT DA HELL IZ DIS?

But now I'm more like

Here's my reaction to WFT making her debut.




Beginning cutscene, before the fighting:



When I realize what this means:



Her gameplay and hearing dem workout tips:



Seeing her Final Smash, then "Wii Fit Trainer Weighs In!":



...And because why not, if Krystal gets revealed.:troll:

When I saw her, I was like, "yay, finally a weird character!". I discovered her before Villager, I was shown the 3 trailers in order from
Megaman
Wii Fit
Villager.

Seeing WFT's icon on smashbros.com.



Watching her intro video.



"Let's tone up those legs!"



Trailer ends.

What some people also don't understand is that her absence wouldn't have meant anything for characters like Waluigi, etc. That attitude of "should have added X instead of Y" (read X as "my favorite character") is really cancerous, we can't blame every newcomer for each character that we didn't get.
The roster of this game is diverse enough and has several unique and well-liked characters, therefore it can afford to have a couple of "odd sheep" like WFT, G&W and ROB. Besides, gameplay matters alot as well and those characters have shown to perform pretty well since their inclusion (WFT is yet to be seen of course).

I saw her and I was happy as can be. Mii was my one "hate" for this game, and as WFT would represent the same series -- aptly named "The Wii series" -- I was legitimately ecstatic.

To admit, it was strange to see her. For a random character I was thinking maybe something like Diskun or even a Teleroboxer. Seeing a WFT (hey, if you switch the letters you get WTF :crazy:), I was thinking that was a fan trailer. And then Sakurai confirmed her. I'm perfectly OK with her, but weirded out.

You know Miis are still really likely right?

Not really. I know that Nintendo loves throwing them in all kinds of games, but I can't see a series as new as the Wii series getting 2 reps right away. In SSB5 though, they'll pretty much be a given.
Wii Fit Trainer represents the Wii Fit series, hence the Wii Fit icon, stage, music, etc.

There is a lot more than just Wii Fit, and Miis are much bigger than just the Wii series.

There isn't a "Wii Fit" series though. There's a "Wii" series involving Wii Fit, Wii Party, Wii Sports (resort), Wii Play etc. etc.. All of the games which are Wii exclusive and start with Wii are part of that franchise. The fact that she comes from Wii Fit is why most of the "other" things in the game such as the stage and music belong to Wii Fit, but that doesn't mean she doesn't represent the entire Wii franchise.

Then explain why those series moved on to other consoles? They aren't Wii exclusive but are their own respective series.

Regardless, the Wii thing is irrelevant as Miis have plenty of games outside of the "Wii" franchise.

It's a widely acknowledged series. I forgot that it also continued onto Wii U when I said "exclusive to Wii", but I really meant it's not on handheld. While Miis may have more titles, the only games which they "own" (are the main characters of) are part of the Wii series. Find Mii isn't even a game in its own right, it is merely a part of Streetpass plaza. However, we didn't receive a representative for the last stage like Find Mii, that being pictochat, so in this game I don't think that Find Mii really helps Mii's chances for playability. WFT took Mii's spot.

I love the fact that WFT is in. I for one enjoyed playing Wii Fit; it even got me into yoga. So seeing WFT in is like seeing my master in the game lol.

My reaction was "wait, what?" xD". I was sold on the character when I saw her using her hilarious final smash in her reveal trailer.

At first I thought it was a really lame addition. Well, I still thank that. I think she's one of the more boring characters. But, I also think she won't be used often and the less something is used, the more I like it.

When I first saw the trailer, I was recovering from Mega Man hype. After I realized that she was a playable character, I laughed hysterically.
