Bayonetta announced for Smash Wii U/3DS

I imagined long time ago that if Bayonetta got into Smash, we would have 4 versions of her, and 4 other versions of Jeanne. I hoped that could be possible, because they did something similar with Wii Fit Trainer (woman and man), Robin (man and woman) and Bowser Jr (him and the rest of the Koopalings as alternate). At least we have the Jeanne theme costume. That's awesome.

They could have added these alternate costumes as well.

Just kidding.
 
I was kinda taken aback by the fact that the ballot was actually a ballot. Meaning that the character with the most votes is the only one that got in. I didn't think it was just a suggestion box, but I figured he'd choose from a few of the top vote getters. That said, I'm glad that Bayonetta was the winner. It was a pleasent surprise.

I don't believe Bayonetta won for real.
 
There was a small missed opportunity with her palettes - the best Anarchy Reigns colour should have made it in.

The white and red Amaterasu one wouldn't have been bad, either.
Anarchy Reigns nailed the alt colors. Her two-tone sleeves with that gradient into pure black looks so good in-game.

Heathen! Atsuko Tanaka is a goddess, but Hellena Taylor is incredible. Bayonetta wouldn't have been quite the same without her. Nintendo News did a great interview with Taylor.
Yep, Taylor is flawless. 100% owns the role. Perfection.

Ummm..
She won out of the characters they could realistically use.
Correct.

I said it before just because yall voted banjo and shantae and goku dont mean they were getting in even if they had alot of votes. Sakurai was just looking at these names and crossing them off and bayo just kept getting higher and higher on the list. Fuck yo master cheif collection.
 
I've never played any Bayonetta game (please don't beat me), but she is a character a lot of people wanted. She certainly stands out on the roster in more ways than one. The only bad part is that she's not available this very instant.
 
I voted for something and it actually won? I can't believe it. I don't even play much smash but I'm delighted about this.

Also all the bayo avatars in this thread. awesome :)
 
Best thing about thia is I just bought a Wii U with Smash Bros. last weekend for my lil bro's Bday. Going to be fun to start playing as Bayo instead of my usual peeps for a while.

Not quite. Bayonetta was the winner of the negotiable and realisable characters. They said that. So there were others who couldn't be negotiated or realised.
 
One of the best details nobody is talking about? Fortitudo in the Umbra Clock Tower stage. Possibly one of my favorite monster designs in videogames (or anything, really). He was the striking visual that singlehandedly sold me on this series. It'd be cool if he talked in his creepy Jabba the Hutt voice, but I think he was silent during the falling tower scene so he probably won't say anything.

so the stage will have QTEs that one-hit kill you if you fail ?

Actually I re watched and I thought it was palutena's voice (no shit, we hadn't seen bayo yet) rather than bayo herself. So it's bayo saying "another angel, must have missed one" which makes sense
transition between palutena saying "another challenger approaches" and bayo talking was a bit too short probably

I don't know shit about bayo's english voice too, that doesn't help. Japanese voice > all

Bayo 1 had English voices only originally.

It was all for the best. I can't imagine any other character as exciting as Bayonetta for Smash.
 
Man, all the salt in these Smash threads. Good entertainment. Thanks Sakurai!
Were people really expecting Shrek or JOHN CENA?!?!?!
Bayo in Smash was the surprise of the year, because GAF made me actually believe how
unrational her inclusion was.

Kid Goku would have been nice, too. The rest, I don't care: Isaac, Shovel Knight, King K Rool, Wolf.

Ok, I do think that another FE is unnecessary, though.
