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.

 

[……forgetit]

I don't believe Bayonetta won for real.

She won out of the characters they could realistically use.

 

[Drinkel]

So excited to see Let's Dance Boys among the new music picks.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Shrek dreams crushed.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Shrek dreams crushed.

Don't forget they probably chose to hold off on some characters they can use to headline Smash 5.

 

[GeNoMe]

To all non believers......suck it!

 

[Monocle]

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.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I don't believe Bayonetta won for real.

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.

it just occured to me the banana yellow is an obvious bruce lee reference. do'h

 

[BGBW]

Or wouldn't sell well as standalone DLC but would make interesting additions to a future base game i.e Wii Fit Trainer.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Yeah no doubt, one of the few times I prefer the western voice. But then she was casted for the role, before they added the japanese, so it makes sense. I freaking love her voice. So perfect.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Max feels legit as always as far as reaction goes though.

 

[KingBroly]

Max feels legit as always as far as reaction goes though.

Well yeah. He called Bayonetta ever since ZSS was revealed.

Now the rest of them just come across as really fake.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Dreams can come true! We're going to the swamp, kids!

 

[Forkball]

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.

 

[Renkax]

I'm super happy that there is not 1 but 2 "new" bayonetta related things coming in 2016 :')


Very exciting

 

[SlaughterX]

Well that's cool. Never been a fan of Smash Bros but if I can ever find it for the low one day I might just buy it because of this.

 

[NHarmonic.]

She won out of the characters they could realistically use.

But... but Goku

 

[jeemer]

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

 

[Exodust]

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.

 

[Jintor]

god how sick is the all sax version of mysterious destiny? holy shit

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

I'm glad we got a new female character. I'm just sad to see it wasn't Shantae.

 

[Shuggananas]

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 ?

 

[ActStriker]

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.

 

[Jintor]

I'm glad we got a new female character. I'm just sad to see it wasn't Shantae.

still mad fire emblem dragon guy is... a guy when they could've headlined the female version

well, miffed is more like it, but still

 

[Diablohead]

Don't forget they probably chose to hold off on some characters they can use to headline Smash 5.

the dream may still be alive for Goku after all... Kappa

 

[Shuggananas]

Bayo 1 had English voices only originally.

So that means the jap voices can't be better ?
Started playing with english voices, tried japanese and couldn't go back

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

But then we wouldn't have had the "Big Brother is now Big Sister. Even better!" line

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

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.

This is undeniable truth. As far as I'm concerned, Hellena Taylor is Bayonetta.

 

[Monocle]

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.

It was all for the best. I can't imagine any other character as exciting as Bayonetta for Smash.

It's clearly a choice made for westerners, as they omitted Japanese results for whatever reason.

 

[RK128]

Could easily see him and Layton be the Level-5 reps for Smash 5 in the future .

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Well yeah. He called Bayonetta ever since ZSS was revealed.

I thought the same. Bayonetta got scrapped and her after burner kick was transferred to ZSS.

Edit: Japanese voice for Bayonetta definitely isn't better at all. Not bad but Helena is superior.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Main confirmed. She looks so perfectly realized in Smash.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Bayonetta looks broken tho lol

Remember Dante in mvc3? lol

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Bayonetta looks broken tho lol

She does yeah, but who knows.

 

[The Xtortionist]

It was all for the best. I can't imagine any other character as exciting as Bayonetta for Smash.

I think Banjo would be an absolute triumph. Rare was incredibly important to Nintendo consoles over the years.

 

[DedValve]

it just occured to me the banana yellow is an obvious bruce lee reference. do'h

Its actually Kill Bill.

 

[bobbychalkers]

The best thing they could do for her is to implement dodge offset. Hopefully my Bayo skills translate well to this.

 

[Jintor]

Its actually Kill Bill.

right, which is a bruce lee reference...

 

[wild wild rice]

Just woke up, still feeling great about this.

 

[SliceSabre]

She won out of the characters they could realistically use.

I assume Sakurai used that wording in a way of saying that some of the top voting getters were unrealistic. i.e. Goku

 

[Shuggananas]

[Markoman]

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.

 

[The Elite]

Disappointed with the lack of Roman Reigns.

 

[Fandangox]

Bayonetta looks broken tho lol

Remember Dante in mvc3? lol

Remember Little Mac?

We will see.
