Sorry, I couldn't tell, as I'm from America, Euros don't exist here.

THOSE ARE POUNDS YOU POOR PEASANT

Oh... I edited it...

 

[Kenith]

Kefka though would also bring a lot of hype, but Cloud has more mainstream appeal though

Uuuh I don't know if people would ever really be happy Kefka is in Smash Bros.
Like there's even Lightning, Terra, and Black Mage that would make way more sense than him. Kefka would be beyond random.

IT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU INSULTED MONEY! PREPARE TO FEEL THE 'WRATH OF ANNAS'! CHA-CHING!

JTRAB


Found this on Miiverse when roaming around
They are really freaking excited about this
I was non-chilant
Probably because I abused Armored Jet Hammer as
Because the easy way is sometimes the best way
And that ain't jestin'

I fixed it for your
Seriously though, Celes deserves more love

There's an alternate world where Cloud is the rumoured character, and Shovel Knight was revealed.
This guy probably would be going "DONT BE CLOUD". Lol.

Locke: ERMAHBEHEMOOT MAH GF'S ALIVE!

Celes: lol nope, ur mine

Burn to Fight lol

It seems SNK still hasn't dropped their Engrish translations, even after all these years. lol

Sometimes I wonder if they do it on purpose.

Then again, we wouldn't have gotten gems such as this otherwise: https://youtu.be/C0vv9ltXgxA?t=9m37s

I kinda missed Smash trailers with no leaks.
Megaman, Mac, Greninja, Robin/Lucina and Mewtwo/Lucas were the best



Although I think some trailers would have still been meh even if it wasn't leaked.

Spoiler

I'm looking at you

Tbh, I wanted Rachel out of the way as soon as possible so LockeXCeles could just happen already
Funnily enough, Locke was the last party member I recruited in the World of Ruin
Stupid 2 parties mechanics! *gets to Kefka's Tower* *has to make 3 different parties* ****

Actually, let's talk about FFVI
Aerith's death is overrated,

Spoiler: is this common knowledge or not?

Leo's death was way sadder

Palutena's trailer was so incredibly underwhelming, it's honestly funny.
They didn't even be subtle, it's just like "ok, here's Palutena". Lol.

Greninja would have been the same way if...it was a character that made sense. As it was, Greninja did surprise me.

Kefka's not "that" random, because Final Fantasy fans still have wars about him vs Sephiroth, although he is outclassed by Black Mage offcourse in your choices.

Isn't Lightning a total basebreaker though, because FF13 is for most people a beserk button?

This is my personal favorite:

And I have yet to play any of the Samurai Shodown games.

Lightning is still the most known FF protagonist after Cloud. Especially considering she has...what, three games now?
I feel like having Kefka over anyone else from FF is like having Vaati over Link or something.

Is it petty? It's not as if there wasn't a strong rumour that Shovel Knight would be in Smash.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Is it petty? It's not as if there wasn't a strong rumour that Shovel Knight would be in Smash.

It isn't petty because of how strong the rumour was, but because it's saying 'DON'T BE THIS THING!'

 

[Frostwraith]

Palutena's trailer was so incredibly underwhelming, it's honestly funny.
They didn't even be subtle, it's just like "ok, here's Palutena". Lol.

Well, the Palutena trailer did have the Pit vs. Link anime fight, which was great.

And that Dark Pit tease which caused plenty of speculation. (And my hopes of a playable Dark Pit increasing, especially after Mr. Game & Watch was similarly teased in Pac-Man's trailer shown sometime after Palutena's reveal in the E3 2014 Digital Event.)

 

[Kenith]

Wait, the Shovel Knight rumour is "strong"? What happened to it not being worth anyone's time?
It's usually completely discredited by virtue of being Shovel Knight.

There was a time when it was strong, brah.

Lighting is the living definition of a base breaker, you wither like her or you hate her
And the 'hate' portion is bigger or at least much more vocal

As for the Kefka thing, yeah, he is popular, but only with the more hardcore fans
I couldn't see him before any other FF character

I agree, I was very shocked when Beelzemon killed Leomon

Get that Digimon bull**** outta here, no one cares about it

anime fight,

>Frostwaith said
>anime fight, which was great
>anime fight
>which was great
>anime
>great
Well, of course you liked it

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Exactly. It's petty to not want a character simply because of your own bias against said character.

I mean you're free to it, but still petty.

Which is what a lot of the anti-people are in this fandom for any character. Petty.

Especially when a large track of any character's detractors especially more niche characters like Butt Butt are characters that a lot of people actually proof themselves to know very little about.

Hell, even Cloud has pettiness behind a lot of his detractors before his reveal and hell after.

''HE'S A PLAYSTATION CHARACTER!"

And? So is/was Snake.

Palutena's was pretty meh, but you can't deny that Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr. had the most "meh" because the 3DS version was already out. If they had dropped those trailers BEFORE. OH. MAN. There would have been so much blood...

I would like the Pit vs. Link fight more if Pit didn't break Link's Clawshot.
How could you do that, that was a two of a kind treasure.

I respect opinions disliking stuff I like as long as you don't be an arse about it. Today's lesson: Be nice, or Anna won't be your fwen

To be fair, it's a crappy grab anyway.
Now if he broke the Boomerang on the other hand I would've been pissed.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I mean I'm just saying I prefer informed opinions over an opinion formed over no real solid knowledge of said character.

Same for people who just support something because it's the popular thing to do. Lots of character fandoms have that in Smash as well.

Ridley, K. Rool, etc.

um,

ok

Samurai Shodown is so full of these you could make a book about them.

ok

I mean at least read the rest of my posts.

ok.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

I wonder how this Smash Broadcast is going to be presented.
Do you guys think it will have Mr.Sakurai sitting in casual location like the April direct and this year's E3 Broadcast?

Or something completely different.

 

[Khoru]

I mean at least read the rest of my posts.

ok.

from my understanding, they kind of assume that sk's detractors are just uninformed of his uh... good things
i mean i've played sk multiple times and i like it but i see no reason for him to be in ssb

 

[Arcanir]

I think it'll have a similar make-up to the E3 presentation: They'll talk about Cloud, and then follow up with the other two characters and remaining content.

Get that Digimon bull**** outta here, no one cares about it

Them fighting words you cowardly fox!

When you say casual location I can just imagine Sakurai burning incense and candles in the bedroom, playing some slow jazz, drinking a cup of wine, and chilling in a bath robe.

"Heard you boys wanted a big Dragon?"

 

[Champ Gold]

Palutena's was pretty meh, but you can't deny that Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr. had the most "meh" because the 3DS version was already out. If they had dropped those trailers BEFORE. OH. MAN. There would have been so much blood...

I wouldn't count Bowser Jr's or DHD's trailers because we knew they were coming and the leaks kinda make them seem meh
(Same as Shulk but it was designed well despite being meh)

Palutena's trailer was so incredibly underwhelming, it's honestly funny.
They didn't even be subtle, it's just like "ok, here's Palutena". Lol.

Greninja would have been the same way if...it was a character that made sense. As it was, Greninja did surprise me.

Thing is the trailers being released at certain points really could have changed it up at the release points.

Robin/Lucina's trailer could have been perfect for E3 and have Palutena show up around when Shulk was revealed and have Shulk at the date where he was "supposed" to be revealed aka the true #MonadoMonday

 

[AncientTobacco]

I mean at least read the rest of my posts.

ok.

The part where you imply that people are only against SK because they aren't "informed" about him?

Or the part where you accuse K. Rool and Ridley fans of bandwagoning?

I was going to make a joke about Sakurai and the Last Supper, but I couldn't find anything with it.
Shame on you Internet.
