Cloud announced for Smash Bros

It was either that, or he would get killed. The game goes out of the way to try and remove as much blame as possible from him.
I don't think there was any insinuation that Magus' life was at risk. I mean, he eventually just leaves the mystics without any real consequence. No reason to lead an army to war.

Ike also lead an army that killed a ton of people.

So did Marth!
Typically, we call the instigators of war the bad guys, and hold the defenders blameless. Not looking to make a deep argument here, just talking along the lines of video game villainy.
 
Right, so one again this is just a made up "rule" that isn't even true.

"Ridley" being on Pyrosphere doesn't stop Ridley from being a playable character.
I meant less in terms of 'rules' and more just visually distinguishing who was 'playable' Ridley and which was the stage boss, though I imagine they'd go off his Super Metroid/Brawl design if they ever make him playable.

When you go back to Ozzy's place after recruiting Magus, he tries to have Magus killed. Not to mention that Ozzy was the leader of the Mystics at the time Kid Magus was thrown forward into that era, and would have been killed by Ozzy himself if he didn't use magic in defense.

Ozzy was always the one who wanted to go to war. Magus was just the all-star general. But Magus never cared about the war, only Lavos and his sister.
 
The real villain of Smash is Snake because he is keeping us waiting, the selfish bastard.


Support Snake for Smash, for a more Villain-Focused game, for all of us.
 
Seriously? We're still talking about K.Roll? K.K Roll is the lamest. He's so 90ties it hurts. He attaks with his boomerang-crown.
As a captain he shoots cannonballs from a shotgun too small to actually have cannonballs inside. Also he travels from side to side using his shotgun as a propeller. What happened? Does he lost the ability to run/walk?
K.Roll is pure 90ties' bullshit. Let him die.
We have a big goofy villain already and its name is Dedede.
 
Also Jigglypuff has probably murdered someone

Pokémon anime=/= Pokémon games

Besides, even in the anime he becomes good.

And that's the issue.

Game =/= Movies

smash has always used the pokemon anime as an influence more than the pokemon games, I feel like

all the voice actors for each pokemon are from the anime and jigglypuff was originally included in smash 64 because of her role in the anime

anyways, I don't even know why we're having this argument over what constitutes as a villain or anti hero or whateverthefuck. the point is, K Rool is coming next month and you're all going to LOVE it <3
 
Why? A fun game featuring fun characters on a fun console...why wouldn't people want to have fun? Personally, I'm going to enjoy having fun playing a game with more character options that in no way degrades anyone's fun and do so with all the integrity in the world.

You don't understand, this has nothing to do with fun. This is serious. This is about the integrity of Nintendo as a company, and about a little thing I like to call honor. I don't know how much the rest of you know about Nintendo fan culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is with Square-Enix where you can become successful by being an angsty asshole with a big sword. If you screw a Nintendo fan over at Nintendo, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance and calling out for Gaia.

What this means is the Nintendo fans at GoNintendo, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase the Cloud DLC, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated an entire market with this move.

Sakurai, publicly apologize to whoever's running Nintendo now and cancel the Cloud DLC or you can kiss what remains of your hands goodbye.
 
The idea of Geese Howard in Smash is making feel dreamy. But I feel Geese without Terry is a no-no.

His shenanigans of obtaining the Tri-Force, the Fire Emblem, the Monado, and DK's cache of bananas because he's just like that is hilarious.

Terry. Most certainly Terry. Unless you mean if any of them have a shot. Then it's still Terry. After all, his theme's called "Big Shot" for a reason.

We already have Terry. Well we had Terry. :P

Mewtwo isn't really evil in Gen 1. He's violent. Every dex entry makes it sound like he's very, very violent. But they also make it sound like he has pretty good reason to be what with his genes getting recombined and shit.

No the real villain in Mewtwo's story is Mr. Fuji.

Sarcasm?
 
Mewtwo is more like a flanderized Akuma than actually a villain.

It's a joke post referencing the original joke post (was it? I forgot if it was a serious post or a joke post) back then about SE's "betrayal" on putting FFXIII in 360 too. The "culture (I'm an expert)" should have tipped you :P
 
I would love to see something like a Guide Book woth all the info on scrapped characters that didn't make it in. Complete with images and concept art.
 
Cloud has appeared in more games on a Nintendo system than Ness.

#SmashFacts

Which? How many kingdom hearts? Also explorers. What else? not doubting you, I just don't know the tally.

Ness is now at 6 games? Smash 1, 2, 3, 4u, 43ds, mother 2

Mewtwo is most definitely treated as a villain in Melee. It's why he appears in Event 51.

Anti-Heroes or neutral. These aren't villains. There's only Bowser, Ganondorf, and The Koopalings as actual evil characters.

In Smash (at least Melee), Mewtwo was portrayed as a villain. It's as close to a villain Pokemon as you'd get in Smash.

Lol @ Mewtwo and Dark Pit being villains. Looks like someone didn't play their games all the way through.

Or they've played Melee where Mewtwo appears in an event themed after villains and has an evil laugh and uses dark energy...

This is true. It's the only reason why Lucario freaking talks, due to the movie he was in (movie 7 or something).

Does Mewtwo has his original movie VA in Sm4sh?
