My sister: This is going to open the door for more FF characters in Smash.

Me: But they're not going to put in GIlgamesh. Or Vivi.

My Sister: I will write them an essay. Vivi should be in Smash because he's a lightweight character who uses magic like who else is, Ness? But he's not even supposed to be using that magic it's Paula's he's a thief also Vivi's really cute.
...well I guess Zelda. And a pokemon. But Vivi's better because he can use both Fire and Blizzara.

Garlyle · « **Reply #66 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:06:42 PM »

so what happened in the direct again because that mace of a surprise reveal sort of blacked out everything else that happened

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #67 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:07:11 PM »

So:

Female non-clone Link confirmed
Cloud in Smash confirmed
Original RBY Pokemon confirmed
NOT F-ZERO confirmed
Action-RPG Final Fantasy with historical "transformations" confirmed

...and that's not even close to everything.

Dammit Nintendo I was perfectly happy an hour ago not having a 3DS or WiiU. Now I cry because I don't even have money to throw at my screen. :qq:

I forget, was Cloud in any of the Nintendo KH games? I excluded it from my previous thought because I couldn't remember him showing up in any, but I admittedly never beat DDD

Cloud was like the best summon in Chain of Memories by far

I'm going to echo what I said somewhere else over here:

>has 6 nintendo main titles with plenty of characters to choose from
>picks the one from a sony title
lol k. :V

Suikama · « **Reply #76 on:** November 13, 2015, 01:40:29 AM »

er this obviously isnt going to be the only character

they literally said more info will be revealed in december

Leon゠Helsing · « **Reply #77 on:** November 13, 2015, 01:57:55 AM »

Still, it's kinda confusing that they pick the one not originating from a nintendo title to start with. I mean, at least Snake had the excuse of Metal Gear, a main title, having been on the NES, even as a watered-down port, and Sonic pretty much had a long history with nintendo. KH:CoM meanwhile, was pretty much just a side title wherein Cloud doesn't really play that much of a role.

trancehime · « **Reply #78 on:** November 13, 2015, 01:58:35 AM »

I was asleep through the Nintendo Direct... Someone decide to summarize Cloud being in Smash with this:

Quote

"Who told Sakurai he could add literally anyone to smash?"
"Iwata RIP"
"Sakurai is actually Iwata"
"Iwata cannot die. Please understand."
"Iwata will make Nintendo the strongest. Please understand"
"Gamecube for fighter ballot"

So because Sakurai is Iwata and Iwata can do anything we got Cloud

Sakurai clearly stopped giving fucks :V

Okay a more logical reason would be that the FF7 remake is probably going to be on the next Nintendo console and this is a way of promoting it

KH: CoM is a direct sequel to KH1 and a direct prequel to KH2 while also happening at the same time as days which also does have cloud in it *and* it's also in the NDS.

Plus, KH: Re: Coded which is also on the NDS and cloud has a fairly large role in one of the worlds.

Leon゠Helsing · « **Reply #81 on:** November 13, 2015, 04:26:55 AM »

Either way, I still feel that it'd be more logical if they went with any one of the nintendo FF main characters first.

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #82 on:** November 13, 2015, 05:01:35 AM »

Depends on your definition of "logical". In terms of theme, then sure an old-school Final Fantasy or Tactics Advance or something more closely tied to Nintendo would make sense. But from a purely business perspective nothing would generate the hype that a FFVII character would, and at the end of the day Nintendo is a business.

In fact the only thing that surprised me was no Sephiroth.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #83 on:** November 13, 2015, 05:37:16 AM »

Fuckin' kids in this thread need get off my lawn. I didn't even like FF7 but hearing the boss battle music while watching a Sm4sh video got me diamond hard. Viva la 1997.

"Sonic having a long history with Nintendo. "

FFVII remake is on the way, and the original game is arguably the most popular of the franchise. Lots of people never even touched the first 6 games and would be like "Wait, who?" if they saw Cecil or Terra, whereas Cloud is instantly recognizable.

It is logical, at least from Square-Enix standpoint.

Be happy they didn't decide to go with Lightning.

What, not even the classic Black Mage? :V

Reminder that Cloud is possibly a result of that character poll they had earlier this year

I would have found her more interesting, to be honest, plus I actually, yknow, played all of 13(the frst one, anyway) unlike 7, but if there was going to be a FF character used for the reveal it would HAVE to beCloud because he is all but the face of FF for the mainstream. Plus...

There haven't been any new IPs right? Do they even announce IPs at Directs?
