Social The Gates of Hell: Bayonetta Social Thread

[Morbi]

You saw how Pit blushed when Bayo grabbed him in the trailer? You think all characters will bush or do you think that was just editing?

I believe it might be a character reaction. Sort of like Bowser's... Down-throw (I believe). Every character flails their arms before he drops onto them. I do not usually pay attention to grab animations because they are generic; however, it would be a waste if Pit was the only character to blush.

Edit- Never mind, apparently it is just a Pit specific animation. The dream is dead.

 

[Shinyfox]

I been waiting so long for a character like this!

 

[LordTakeo]

Bayonetta is besides Bomberman the only Character I always wanted. I am extatic beyond comprehension, almost didn't sleep and watching her movesets over, and over, and over.

I will main her for sure. She seems to have a useful and very good counter, her combogame looks amazing, her speed and mobility is just amazing, and even her shadow shows her disorted witch shadow instead her on screen appearance.
I really really have high hopes that she will be good, and that she will be fun.

I just honestly love it. Love it so much.

I guess because it'll look weird for & to blush

Can we talk about that down special? I'm getting DIO flashbacks.

This character is calling out to all the Falcon main types. The ridiculous flashiness. The combos. If only we could get DMC4 Dante, we would then have all the flashy fighters one could ever want.

She is basically the spiritual successor to Dante. Bayonetta 1&2 did what DMC didn't
And she really reminds me of a Falcon+Luigi Type of gameplay, with a tiny bit of... what was his name...

 

[MysteriousSilver]

Witch time working on KO Punch makes me wonder how it will react to grabs

And Palu's unblockable Side-B hitbox lol

Not sure what good the bullets will be short of getting something out of a whiff or tacking on some extra damage after a hit. No combo counter to keep up in Smash.

Unless you can get a few off and keep a combo going with specific timing, which would add hella mechanical depth to her.

 

[HeroMystic]

Bayonetta will be my co-main regardless of how bad she is.

I don't give a ****.

Bayonetta is awesome and I will make her awesome.

Yes. Honestly, she's just too good, to not be good.
I so goddarn hope she'll be a sheik counter. I wonder if witchtimes slows Rosalina, if just the luma attacked Bayo.

She should do it with every shota

 

[Kurri ★]

I think I might have a new co-main

 

[Zef]

been wanting her since like 2013, mentioned it at least 20 times on podcasts

im cryin

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Congratulations, Bayonetta suppoerters. I dind't want her in, but there's nothing I can do about it but at least act with some retraints instead of acting immature and petty.

Eh, they could have ended it with cloud and everyone would have been happy. Having two additional characters doesn't hurt, and hey. She's pretty much the spiritual successor of Dante before he turned to DMC5.

But thanks, I rarely see good sports, and expected more salt. We could use more of you!

Thank you. At the end of the day, despite what I think of her, lots of people are happy with her inclusion and me getting characters I didn't want isn't the end of the world.

 

[Lady Byakugan]

She's definitely gonna become my 2nd main after

 

[Mr.PersonSir]

So based on what we saw should Umbra Clock Tower be tournament legal? I say yes. But how about you guys?

 

[Burgundy]

It depends on the ratio of passable vs solid platforms, and how long they stay on screen. I could see it's legality being very debated but I think it could be legal. Plus it has the best music in the game

Edit: The angels don't seem to be hazards, and are just aesthetic.

 

[jordanm43444]

Not sure if its widely known but the song list on the Bayonetta stage was in the direct! A lot of golden ones in here! (Take THAT Cloud)

[Ridel]

Ok her kit looks really OP let's just hope she doesn't get banned in tournaments
The hype is real

I mean of course she appears OP because the presentation was supposed to show the utility of her kit in it's most potent form. Ryu looked pretty OP when the he was showcased in his direct but soon after we realized he would only be top 5 .

P.S No purple alt already puts her in mid tier.

Well, think about it. Clouds Classic mode victory animation was leaked yesterday, meaning if he was revealed yesterday the hype would be ruined, just like Ryu!

I meant more, back then saying as he was revealed, he being the last DLC character.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

It'll be quite interesting if Bayonetta turns out to be a super lightweight fighter. She'd be like a glass cannon, where she can pack a lot of power, but is easily sent flying as a drawback.

I guess in a way, I'm thinking that Bayonetta will be Mewtwo light (72), being lighter than even Pikachu, Rosalina, Kirby, and Mr. G&W.

 

[mario123007]

I have to say Kirby wearing those glasses is the most hilarious thing I've seen in a while.

More hilarious (I guess):

And I was prepared for her reveal because of this comic that was posted on KYM few days earlier.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I'm still surprised (and somewhat happy) that they went with one of the most violent and gruesome summon.
Gomorrah sure is recognizable, but... He definitely eat the opponents alive! They don't get sent away, they just die directly!

Anyway, I'm still happy that she is there. She is THE third party character that I wanted (and I got Ryu as a good bonus).

This is really good to see. I'm not overly familiar with Final Fantasy 7's music, but I was disappointed to see that the Wii U version only has two songs, and I don't believe that either one was remixed. (they're good songs, but you'd think they'd have six or seven for a Wii U stage)

I'm not familiar with all of the Bayonetta songs by name, but the ones whose names I recognize are great choices! I'll have to listen to the others to see if I remember them.

 

[Burgundy]

Still sad that copyright stuffs prevents us from getting Fly Me To The Moon and Moon River, but ah well. Happy that they gave us Red & Black ~

 

[Champ Gold]

I can see The Clock Tower being a counterpick.


The disappearing and reappearing platforms is something to get use to but it'll be like Pokemon Stadium 1 in that sense. Plus the monsters in the background are just there for show.


Trust me if Halbeard and Garbage ass Delphino Plaza are legal then so is this

The music selection definitely went through copyright problems (actual music composed by Bart Howard, rights to use Helena Noguerra's voice), and even Tomorrow is Mine and Mysterious Destiny are instrumental remixes (with an epic sax as the voice).

But the music selection still is on point (especially compared to one cyberpunk city).

One of a Kind, Legend of Aesir and Let's Dance Boys. These three tracks alone is a pure win.

We got After Burner (infinite climax) Aswell! <3

 

[Burgundy]

Eventually we'll finally ditch and it's ****ty music.

 

[wpwood]

So are we all ignoring the fact that Villager is on the side of evil in her reveal art? Yeah Lucina is there too, but they need some characters to fit in. I think that just confirms that Villager is evil and locks people in his / her basement. February is going to be a good month.

That blue Bayonetta though. Dibs

 

[FullMoon]

Bayonetta strikes me as a more fancy ZSS more than she does Falcon, he's not even that flashy. Hell she reminds me more of Greninja than Falcon,

Either way, while I can't say for sure that I'll secondary her, I do love my fancy combo characters and she'd fit right in with Greninja and might make me drop Lucas for real.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Yeah!

Again, I really like the music selection. Sure, there's tons of musics I like that aren't on the stage, it maybe miss some of the "epic" musics (I really wanted the Greatest Jubilee) but it's still diversified and made of iconic musics.

We have the main themes, the climax ones, Jeanne's themes, and some epicness. + After Burner and Let's Dance Boys.

It's not exactly perfect, but close.

I was kinda hoping for Loptr's battle theme but aaaaah everything else is so good so I'm fine <3

 

[wpwood]

It's gonna take a while to get used to recovering with her. Up b > Jump > Up b. Different from every other character I play.

 

[jordanm43444]

Im overall pretty happy with the songs we got, theres some good ones missing...but like, you cant fit ALL of the OST on the stage.

 

[Project Crysis]

The Time has come.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Edit- Never mind, apparently it is just a Pit specific animation. The dream is dead.

*holds chest* I'll never get to see Robin blushing

 

[Hinata]

The day before the broadcast, I told my friends there were only two characters that could make me drop Cloud (as I was 100% intent on maining him). Phoenix Wright, and Bayonetta.

The last trailer for Smash started playing, and part of me felt like it was Issac for some reason. But then, I heard those words...

"Oh. Another angel. Must have missed one~"

And then just like that, Cloud was dropped as my main before he even became it.

Basically, my point here is 90% of my time in Smash now will be dedicated to playing Bayonetta. I will learn all the combos I can.
