Can anyone explain to me how the hell does side special work? It seems to be able to do 3 things, up in air, down towards ground and a slide with additional kick.
Her side special works in many different ways. Allow me to list them for your viewing pleasure~

  • If used on the ground and the button is not held, Bayonetta simply slides along the ground, and that's the end of it.
  • If used on the ground and the button IS held, Bayonetta will fire her heel guns as she slides, and end the slide with a kick upwards, which can be followed up with an aerial attack or a Witch Twist.
  • If used in the air, Bayonetta will kick at an upwards angle. If you hit someone with this attack, you can immediately follow it up with another side special, which can also be reversed.
  • If used in the air after pressing down to fast fall, Bayonetta will instead kick at a downwards angle, which can also be followed up with another side special.
Any further questions~?

I don't know where people got the idea that Shovel Knight was gonna be included in Smash but at least we don't have to worry about that anymore at least.

Thanks a bunch! I could never get Ryu's red fire ball no matter how hard I tried w/o doing it by accident rarely but if I have to then I'll practice even harder with Bayonetta's Side B tilted Down....which doesn't sound as hard, really.

All you have to do in order to use Bayonetta's aerial Side B at a downwards angle is jump, press down on the control stick to fast fall, and then use Side B before you hit the ground. If you short hop, it might be hard, but at the height of Bayonetta's jumps, it should be rather easy.

I haven't even started on Bayonetta 2 yet because I'm still playing through the first one that came with it, which I'm having a hard time on that due to the countless number of times I ended up dying.

If I can't get past the first one, then I might as well start on the second and go from there.
I really reccomend just tuning down the difficulty on Bayo 1, it -is- very hard. Bayo 2 is more forgiving with the witch-time.
If you can buy the bat upgrade, do it as soon as you can, otherwise... just enjoy the game.

The stories are strongly pulled together, I would finish the first, before starting the second, otherwise you might miss how -big- of a thing you currently actually play.

Its essentially regular hadouken, you shouldnt have to get that precise with the stick unless youre doing some crazy combo

Decided to search miiverse and it didn't take long to find anything Bayonetta related, with far more than I expected from Japan.

All my friends agree Bayonetta was easily the best DLC addition
This is why I always ever wanted characters based on move set potential, not "iconicness'/relevancy/history/impact ect although they are extra good things. Bayonetta had a lot of potential indeed.

Also, I wonder how much youtube vids like the 2 popular videos by Watch Mojo (1 outright saying they want Bayonetta in Smash THE most) which had tons of views impacted the votes.

You should get B1 too and play that first if you haven't already.

Reccomending playing 1 first, or atleast watch a let's play.
... really, it's -really- reccomended.

What is commonly considered 100% in a Bayo game? Do I need to get PP on all chapters/difficulties to truly 100% them? Plz no ;-;

I have a little question: What does Bayonetta says when she uses Bat Within against Dark Pit in the trailer?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bhlpj4F2lQ&feature=youtu.be&t=128
I believe she said "almost" followed by "ta-taa".

Do how much you can/want to do. In any game, forcing yourself to do what don't like or seems too hard for your skill level isn't good imo.

I had some leftover money from when I bought Cloud, and the discount on the first Bayonetta was still valid from when I bought Bayo 2, so now I'm gonna play through the first game.

Gotta get my fix somehow~

Stoked that Bayo is in. I was watching her opening trailer thinking, "Wait, I recognize that accent... YOOOOOOOOOOO! YES!"

I'm adding her to my list of 5 mains. It's been a looong search for the 5th main. TBH Dedede & Palutena are closer to secondaries but I just call them mains since it's easier. Bayonetta might be my best main, or my 3rd or something - I shall see.

No! You enjoy cloud, till she comes out!
I sure as hell will, but two months is still far away from playing the baddest ***** in Smash. Her and Cloud both will be in my top 5 for sure. Rosalina is getting dropped so hard when she comes out.

That's exactly how I first reacted. Then I saw her heels and was like "holy **** Sakurai did it! I now have a new main!". She was one of the characters that I voted for and I thought she was just a pipedream (not because of her lewdness).

A question about Bayonetta: is she a third party? Platinum Games' name didn't appear on the company list at the end of the direct, so i'm guessing she's Sega, correct me if i'm wrong.

I've just realized something...

Something that felt a bit off, yet perfect...

Bayonetta have actually human proportions in Smash.

She is not a noodle human anymore.

Does anyone else find Bayonetta's approach to sexuality way more appealing than Zero Suit Samus's? When Bayonetta struts around the stage like a supermodel she's just so funny and cool about it. It's her personality. When Zero Suit Samus walks around in a skin-tight suit, she just comes off as dull to me. While I used to be a Zero Suit Samus main in Brawl, I've become increasingly apathetic about maining her in Smash 4. Bayonetta I'm incredibly hyped about though.

Well, despite being in a tight suit, Samus' goal isn't to be sexy. Of course, her design makes her sexy and all, not to mention her ability to crawl ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) But Samus is still a serious character.

It's weird seeing her with those short legs tbh
It is weird, absolutely. Yet, it works very well.

Exactly. This is why Zero Suit Samus' existence is so jarring for lots of people.

Any idea if Bayonetta is still voiced by Hellena Taylor in Smash? I swear she sounds way different in the trailer than in her games. Most of the time her voice is much more low pitched than I remember.
