I can buy this more than tossing Friday the 13th's Jason into that...damn I forgot what that fighting game was.


Tossed in because the staff at NRS love Friday The 13th and Predator not just because they wanted to throw them in.

If they had picked someone from FF1-6, that would've made more sense.


None have Cloud's impact or relevance though,

While that may be true, they've picked obscure characters before. Ness, Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Fire Emblem, until Smash Bros, Earthbound was a cult favorite, Fire Emblem hadn't come to American yet, they got a popularity bump from Smash Bros. Except maybe Ice Climbers, no one still cares about their original game. But Pit got a new game in large part to his popularity in Smash.
But with Earthbound, they clearly used a SNES RPG, so that should've been fine to use again too. Probably should've gone with Kefka?

I would have wanted an obscure character.

Cloud is just meh.

It's weird seeing Cloud as an addition to the roster considering FFVII, or rather most of the FF franchise, was never prevalent on anything Nintendo, at least to my knowledge. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

I just want Bayonetta, honestly. I know it's almost impossible and incredibly unreal but I don't care. I want Bayo now, now, now.

Strangely enough, no one mentions that a FFVII stage will also be added, unless it's already in SSB? It looked pretty fun with all of the summons wrecking havoc on the stage.

I'm looking forward to this!


Indeed, he'll have his own stage as well. It seems to have a Battlefield layout that will split in half under certain conditions, as well as a lot of classic Final Fantasy monsters, summons, and bosses raining terrir down onto the stage.

Too bad it'll almost never show up online though, because so many people don't care to get more stages. This very same thing happened with the Super Mario Maker stage and Ryu's stage.

I noticed the stage. It added to the hype. =D

I just don't get what a PS character is doing on Smash. This feels as if Nintendo is quite needy '-'

PS: I want Lightning or Zack.

At least all those Yaoi shippings of Link X Cloud have come true for some fans... Wink
