Social The Gates of Hell: Bayonetta Social Thread

[meleebrawler]

It says something when my two main weapon sets in 2 are Scarborough Fair on hands and feet, and Shuraba + Chain Chomp. In most cases, I'd take a Bayo 1 weapon over 2. Bayo 2's whips are 100x better than Kulshedra though.

Bayo 2 has a couple cool things that I wish were better though. Kafka bow's complete lack of stun makes a cool idea not-so-great. I understand you have to sorta just play differently with it, but it's not fun to play keep away in Bayonetta. I wanted it to work like Zelda's light arrow attacks in Hyrule Warriors. The big hammer and the motor revving thing is also really cool, but the fact that it's so slow that you have to dodge before most attacks even get out makes it far too niche for general use. Basically only good during witch time or vs specific enemies. I've been able to play around it a bit by using a fast weapon on feet and using feet attacks as starters, but that's still not great. I find the whips on feet are a good compliment cause you can pull single enemies out of groups to make the hammer safer. That whole idea just seems counterproductive to how a big *** hammer with a motor in it should work though. It should unleash hell on huge groups, not pick off singular enemies away from the main fight.

Charging isn't really necessary for crowd control, just damage and guard breaking (You can usually get a charge at the start of a fight though). Circle+punch can unleash hell on flunkies, as do the various pause finishes. And if all else fails you can just use it as a finisher for kick combos. It sucks against rivals like Balder, sure, but very usable on almost anything else, particularly large enemies.

I also miss Durga
I honestly liked a lot of the weapons in Bayo 1 more than most in Bayo 2. RIP Odette.

Thing about Bayo 1 weapons is that most of them are just variations on Scarborough Fair, because the game is REALLY built around them. Shuraba's a good weapon but you'd have to be crazy to take it against the likes of Inspired.

Though I hear ya over Durga. Type advantage was really helpful as were the bursts, especially fire. Undine just can't hold a candle to those claws. Maybe the Evil Harvest Rosary in 2 can fill that void (but Umbran Armour punting enemies into the wall and point blank gatling is so fun and effective).

Yes it have small range but it's "Wicked Weaves" launch 2-3 copy of himself which every single one doing a lot of damage and they are autoaimed to the enemy so it's pretty useful even at distance. Maybe now I'm just seeing it op because of the initial hype but for me it still a cool weapon anyway.

I'd like using Takemikazuchi too, for me it still a bit difficult to use and I'm learning the timing for the longer combo since it's slow and sometimes I miss the input, but is really funny to see a charged attack destroying an enemy or even a group.

Those dogs were my ticket to beating a hard Muspelheim in Infinite Climax with only 30 seconds to beat that whip giant.

And pounding enemies into the dirt to punish them never gets old with the hammer.

 

[Hinata]

As I've said before, I watch Bayonetta's moveset breakdown from the final Smash broadcast a lot. And every time I get to the point where Sakurai says "Bayonetta's inclusion is another 'dream-come-true' type of situation", I can't help but think "You're damn right it is." Heheheheh.

 

[Rynozilla]

Shuraba's a good weapon but you'd have to be crazy to take it against the likes of Inspired.

Pfffffffffft
Still did it
No regrets

 

[Megadoomer]

I don't get why people say Chain Chomp is op
The shortened range with such little damage is t worth it, IMO
If I wanted a short range, strong weapon, I'd go Takemikazuchi/Salamandra on Hands, and Salamandra on Feet. Second most broken weapon in the game, for me.

This might be part of the reason:

The enemy in question is the last boss, though you can't actually see him.

 

[Kenith]

So I'm thinking of Bayonetta turns out to be a really good character I'm going to really try and become a good competitive Smash player.

I'm not very good, but I'm willing to step up my game for Bayonetta!

 

[Mothman]

Help I've fallen into Bayonetta hell and can't get up *presses life alert repeatedly*

[wedl!!]

While it still gives me chills if Ryu was never leaked I would've pissed my pants on his reveal like I did with Bayonetta

 

[Altais]

Has anyone been able to find Bayonetta's "Witch With No Memories" model in Smash 4? So far, I've found the figures for female Corrin and Advent Children Cloud, but I can't find Bayonetta's alt anywhere.

 

[Wolfie557]

Just a friendly reminder that:

Its not a dream.

 

[Megadoomer]

Honestly, even though I voted for her, I still find it hard to believe that she's actually going to be in Smash Bros.!

 

[Hinata]

I have to remind myself of this daily.

I'm on the same boat. Like, I did my best to spam the ballot but I didn't keep my hopes up.
Her reveal was a jaw-dropping good news.

 

[Ixbran]

check this out you guys!

According to this tweet, posters announcing Bayonetta becoming available for download soon in SSB4 have sprouted up in a city called Akihabara, or so according to the bing translator.

I dunno if they did this for the other DLC characters, but personally I find this to be rather cool~

Judging by the "2" in the bottom right corner of the left half, I'm assuming that this still only shows a February release date for her. But, I wonder if this means her release is closer than we think.

If only I saw that when I was in Akihabara yesterday... That would have been awesome. Unfortunately it doesn't specifically say when she'll be playable, but at least she's ¥650.

You can barely see them but...I'm fairly certain those are new screenshots in the corner.

I really wanna see them ;-;

Based on how they look, once Bayo gets a release date Nintendo will likely put them on the main Smash website.

And so the wait continues...

updated my post with a larger version of the image, so if people wanna get a better look at the text and screenshots from the poster, you can now

Hm? You mean like artwork?
There's no artwork for Bayo1! Bayonetta yet AFAIK.

 

[Zajice]

We don't even know the pose it'll be in, but I'm guessing it'll be her classic "adjust glasses with gun" pose.

 

[Ghidorah14]

I want a goddamn amiibo of the bayo1 design, but in all likelihood, we'll only get the "default" costume as an amiibo.

Seriously tho, soon as I'm able to, I'm switching to her real default design and never looking back.

 

[wedl!!]

Amiibos are a cashcow for Nintendo. There is a high probability of amiibos being produced for alternate costumes of characters (F!Kamui/Robin, Koopalings, Pink Villager, etc)

To be fair I said the same thing about making alternate costumes but that's fairly different.

I don't think that there is a high probability for alternative costumes. Production cost and consumer base don't add up here. It would cost no small amount of money to produce another costume, even though the average consumer would only buy one of each character anyway.

 

[Altais]

I meant her Smash picture, like the ones on the main Smash website.

We already have her B2 costume:

Where's the B1 costume? That's what I was saying.

Like they said, we don't have her Bayo 1 render yet.

 

[Hinata]

Like they said, we don't have her Bayo 1 render yet.

Which is truly a crime against humanity. We get female Corrin, but not Bayo 1 Bayonetta? I call shenanigans.

 

[Altais]

Like they said, we don't have her Bayo 1 render yet.

Ah, I see. That explains why I couldn't find it on Google anywhere.

[Shrugs] At any rate, February is just two days away (excluding today), and the longest we'll possibly have to wait is 29 days, so I guess patience is key. Though, I fancy Bayonetta and Corrin will be released on the same day as Fire Emblem: Fates in the western hemisphere. I hope we get a European release date for Fates soon.

 

[Lorde]

Any of you gorls in here Sia fans?

Her new album released today, and overall, it's pretty good. It's not as good of a mainstream pop record as 1000 Forms of Fear was (and it's nothing compared to Some People Have Real Problems), but it's still worth a listen. Sia's unique fingerprint is present in all of the songs. Sia's vocals are killer as always, so it's worth listening to just for that.

I like her but her wierd obsession with the wigs on her albums and videos is scary.

 

[MegaLucario877]

I hope this is OK. I didn't see any threads for this yet, so I figured I might as well start us off.

Anyway, come here if you want some casual, friendly discussion about the Smash Ballot Winner, Bayonetta!

Spoiler: Official Newcomer Artwork

Spoiler: Alternate Costumes

Spoiler: Splash Screen

I' really excited about her!She's already looks too OP.

 

[Lorde]

I like her but her wierd obsession with the wigs on her albums and videos is scary.

I wouldn't say it's scary. Imo it's just kinda bizarre.

The reason she hides her face is because she doesn't want to recognizable. She has famous friends, and has seen what fame does to their lives. She has a lot of personal issues that she has struggled with (she's a recovered drug addict and alcoholic), so she decided that that lifestyle wasn't for her. Her last album was an experiment, and she became synonymous with a blonde bob wig. For this album, the wig is half blonde half black.

It really has worked out for her, though. After her last album released, she talked about how she went into Target (an American store, if anyone is unfamiliar with it) to buy a garden hose and Chandelier was playing on the radio. Even then, nobody recognized her.

I've been a fan of hers for about 5 years, and it's amazing to see how far she has come. I remember when I'd tell people that my favorite singer is Sia and they'd say, "Who?"


Sorry, I didn't mean to write an entire wall of text lol.

Hello, all! I'm Dan

Hello, friend~ Casually walking in is the best way to enter a social thread~ Welcome to the number 1 spot for people to talk about Bayonetta, the rightful winner of the Smash Ballot!

 

[Ghidorah14]

May as well jump on the bayonetta bandwagon as early as possible, that way you dont get accused of, well, bandwagoning when she's later found out to be top tier and everyone suddenly has a pocket bayo.

Kinda like what happened with meta knight.

 

[Wolfie557]

My Bae's are officially bbf's in my headcannon. =D

 

[Lorde]

tbh I kinda hope Bayonetta is terrible, just to disappoint everyone

Disappoint everyone, including yourself?

No thanks, I'm tired of my mains being garbage.

I had to wait over a year before I could trade Lucina for Cloud.

*casually walks into the Bayonetta Social*

Hello, all! I'm Dan

You know, for all the sexual flak Bayonetta games tend to get, her breasts are really nothing to write home about by game standards. Even the cleavage doesn't really stick out in the first game.

My Bae's are officially bbf's in my headcannon. =D

I can't shake the feeling that the two will share a lot of similarities in their playstyle.
