So, FFVII on NX confirmed? Why wouldn't it be at this point?

 

[Linkyn]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

Spoiler

This is really exciting.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Snake made more sense.

Also PSABR?

 

[Deadstar]

Would have preferred Sephiroth to be honest but cloud is good because it means there will probably be a final fantasy level with final fantasy music.

 

[Myriadis]

It doesn't make much sense as FF7 never was on a Nintendo Platform but what the heck, it's amazing anyway.

 

[Sesha]

loooool, Cloud doesn't make PSASB but Smash 4.

Behold. The power of the internet. Wonder if he was the most popular ballot character when the vote opened.

He looked awesome though. Design based on his original look, limits, Midgar stage with summons. So good.

 

[hohoXD123]

AAAHHAHAAAHAHAAHA! It's finally happened, they actually put Cloud in Smash. All we need is Sora now and GameFAQ's will be able to rest in peace.

Would have honestly thought Sora was a lot more likely than Cloud

 

[JCX]

Another swordman and a third party character. Anything can happen yall!

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Expected Wolf.

Got Final Fantasy.

I'm okay with this.

 

[Cloud Strife]

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

 

[GregLombardi]

WHAT.

WHAT

WHAT

WHA

WHAT

OMGOMGOMGOMG

YES. HOLY CRAP. SAKURAI.

IWATA. SQUARE. YES.

WHAT

 

[Kookos]

HOLY FUCK DD

I never expected this to happen!

 

[AwShucks]

Well now I have a reason to buy this version of Smash. Looks awesome

 

[Skrams]

Do want amiibo.

Yep

A cloud and ryu amiibo on my shelf in less than a year probably

This is nuts.

 

[brau]

Goku next plz.

Kid Goku would fit perfectly!!! this would be amazing!

 

[NHarmonic.]

This is amazing.

 

[sparkzero]

Now everything is possible!

 

[L95]

I'm... okay with this... I guess?

But....

why?

 

[Mistle]

Wow, guess the ballet really did have serious pull? Goku and Shrek don't seem that crazy anymore haha

 

[Zomba13]

As awesome and hype as Mega Man being in smash was, it was something that could have been possible. I never expected Cloud to actually show up in Smash. That Midgar stage too, great stage, great music, Summons (pls have a Knight of the round). And Cloud with Limits as a mechanic seems cool, like Mac's KO meter.

So... Goku next yeah?

 

[pelicansurf]

Fucking raaaaaaaaad. So hype.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Expect Wolf

Got Cloud


EXCITED!!!

 

[ash_ag]

Cloud has been on Nintendo before.

Kingdom Hearts, Theatrhythm and FF Explorers. Those are it if I'm not mistaken.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Somewhere ex-Superbot employees are crying.

 

[Rayis]

Cloud sucks but meh, still downloading him

 

[SliceSabre]

We're so close to Goku fam.

 

[sjay1994]

PSABR looks like a bigger joke as the days go by.

 

[TheDinoman]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

You know what, I think this is great! It once again shows that Smash isn't just about Nintendo's history, it's about the history of video games in general.

Pac-Man, Ryu, Cloud, Sonic, and Mario all in the same game together. Wow.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

This broke gaf.

 

[KingBroly]

Cloud Strife amiibo


FUCK

If Ryu wasn't leaked, it wouldn't have gotten this reaction. Insanity.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

With Cloud in the game and apparently not even a Ballot character it seems like literally any result from the ballot could actually get into the game, haha. Fuck, Snake, freaking Cooking Mama, anything could get in.

 

[Neff]

Honestly don't think I've ever been as shocked by a crossover announcement of this magnitude. Looks like they've done a typically good job of implementing him and pouring on the fanservice, too.

PlayStation All Stars am cry.

Nintendo are surely twisting the knife here.

Cloud Strife amiibo

Oh shit...

 

[slightconfuse]

Squall

 

[The Xtortionist]

fucking godlike

based samurai

 

[wmlk]

Final Fantasy Explorers is coming to 3DS. That's the connection I guess.

A weak connection, but dammit it's Cloud Strife.

EDIT: S-E is gonna make so much money with the remake.

 

[D-Man]

I am in legitimate shock. Holy shit I was not expecting him at all. I never even played FFVII but goddamn Sakurai you did a goodass job with this.

 

[sinxtanx]

GAF: "But Sakurai's rules prohibit it!
Sakurai: "Fuck the rules."

 

[K.Sabot]

Okay so smash is basically just dumb lala land fan game now. It has officially punched the boulder.

 

[valouris]

Nintendo tightening those Japanese relationships before NX?

 

[Camjo-Z]

double post

 

[Etria]

This was so unexpected...

 

[Zyrox]

My goodness holy shit this was unexpected. Fucking Sakurai, man you can never figure that man out.

 

[Lulubop]

One the sickest trailers I've ever seen.

 

[Strike00]

Has Cloud even been in a game on a Nintendo console?

KH Chain of Memories for GBA

 

[flohen95]

what



what




i dont know whats going on anymore

send help

 

[Ricky 7]

Holy shit, my most wanted character. It's as if they read my Smash Ballot request and listened. I still can't believe this is real. =O

Only Snake is missing now and this game will have every important video game character ever.

 

[Berordn]

RULES OF SMASH BROS. CHARACTER SELECTION:

1. There are no rules.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This is great because it shows people that they don't know shit. All the speculation, all the theories about patterns and legacy and oh but they can't because they said this and that and it's a matter of relevance and there are rules to this and... no. Fuck your shit. They do as they please.

 

[Nibel]

Posting in a legendary thread

Out of no-fucking-where. Incredible Sakurai

 

[Claude Augario]

Cloud amiibo incoming? That's going to open a lot of doors for him to pop up in like Mario Kart or something.

Cloud amiibo should be compatible with FF7R when that comes to the NX.
