PLEASE no. Her ginormous body doesn't make sense in the game. Realistically she'd be the size of like 5 Marios stacked head to toe.

Bayonetta's cool and all but stylistically(both visual style and combat style) she's the last person I'd ever want in Smash.

She'd tower over Ridley for crying out loud.

Sizes are irrelevant. Characters are scaled. Olimar is much, much, much larger in Smash than he otherwise would be, for instance.

Oh here we go! I've been waiting for this!

 

[Adaren]

One more thing before I go… We’ve seen a lot of Bayonetta merchandise up until now, but I just want you to know there are still things on the horizon that will blow your pants straight off, so be sure to keep an eye out! And as always, thank you for playing.

[Nesther]

Banjo and Bomberman, let´s go!

 

[emb]

Predictions:
Cloud releases on Christmas day.
Wolf, Pichu.
Shovel Knight.
Banjo Kazooie.

(Or less specific: 2 returning fighters, 2 newcomes. That's a lot, but it's the final one, hopefully they go all out.)

Not gonna happen but I wish: Smash Wii U complete edition to release Q2 2016. Boxed copy with all the DLC on disc for 50 bucks.

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

From Nintendo

Krool
Inkling
Wonderred

Third Party
Banjo Kazooie.

With that, im happy

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Well, the final day is upon us. This is the last chance for Inklings, Shovel Knight, Banjo & Kazooie, or anyone's most wanted character. Atleast for a long while. My most wanteds are mostly characters that never appeared on a Nintendo system, from games like The Witch's House, Yume Nikki, Mad Father, Misao, Ib, Neotunia, and Corpse Party but for the ones who have a chance, all the above plus some more like Yu from Persona 4 or an Etrian Odyssey rep would be fantastic. Mainly want more girl reps, so holding out for Inklings and a surprise Indie rep like Shovel Knight.

I truly feel noone is off the table. And do think even if a non video game character won the ballot Sakurai would try to add them. I won't rule off crazy stuff like Minecrafter, FNAF, Katniss, Darth Vader, Goku, or any other crazy reps.

I called while ago: Four characters released at the same time after a 2015 Direct, and four more characters released sometime in 2016 at the same time. We will see if my crazy prediction is right, as well as your crazy prediction. Truly anything is possible.

It has been an honor Smash GAF. Now, its time for ONE FINAL HYPE!!!!!

That's a funny picture but, as others have said, size doesn't matter much in Smash. Samus is supposed to be very tall yet she's comparable to the other human characters, they made Bowser smaller and Kirby bigger etc. Bayonetta's proportions seem to be less exaggerated in Bayo 2, too. I think she could work in Smash without changing her silhouette too much. Or how about Bayonetta riding Ridley? ;p

 

[DarkKyo]

Like Cloud does? Or Snake did? Or Ryu? All of those characters, along with ZSS are fairly "normal" looking humans. And besides, you make it sound like she would have a Mario-sized head or something. Again, look at Zero Suit Samus as a prototype. Sure, Bayo's proportions are closer to a fashion drawing, but it's well within the realm of reason.

Cloud, Snake, Ryu, and Samus don't have freakish, unrealistic proportions. Their head sizes are much closer to actual human size. If you shrunk Bayonetta down you'd either have to mess with her proportions, which would make her a totally new character visually(in other words she would look so wrong that it's barely worth doing), or you'd have a really oddly sized Bayonetta with a cue-ball sized head.

Sizes are irrelevant. Characters are scaled. Olimar is much, much, much larger in Smash than he otherwise would be, for instance.

Read my post above about how that wouldn't work with Bayonetta's proportions.

Anyway, if the size is irrelevant, why ridley dont make the cut?
Really, i never understand that.

amiibos are though

 

[Son Of D]

So our resident weatherman was a day off.

Or they're having the direct a day beforehand so they can upload the data to their servers after the direct to avoid leaks like Ryu and Roy...

 

[Dee Dee]

Crazy train predictions:

Steve (Minecraft)
Professor Layton
Master Chief

10% Likelyhood:

Phoenix Wright
Bomberman
Hatsune Miku Chibi

Maybe?:

(Captain) Toad
Linkle
Inkling

Haha, sorry, all my guesses are equally outlandish I am afraid.

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

BANJO from Microsoft
CRASH From NO sony.

 

[TheDinoman]

People are still predicting Shovel Knight after Cloud's reveal?

Cloud kinda reinforced the fact that third parties have to be elite world class icons, which SK really isn't.

 

[Distresssss]

No Issac. No care.

 

[rhandino]

Pleasepleaseplease:

He didn't even got a cameo in Hyrule Warriors, poor ha.

Spoiler

I'm sure he is going to be in the next iteration of Hyrule Warriors using his Loftwing + Bombs... Please T_T

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Guys, what if the reveal is that Sakurai takes out Rosalina and replaces her with Waluigi and her Assist Trophy replaces his???

Fair enough???

You're right. I better tell all of those Bayonetta cosplayers they look like freaks and not like Bayonetta.

 

[Arkeband]

Sure is a lot of wrong answers in this thread.

Here's the correct one:

I finally watched a gameplay video of this Newgrounds-looking character, and the game actually has mildly decent sprite work, it reminded me of a Ganbare Goemon ripoff.

That being said... no, just no.

My predictions:
Most possible:

Personal dumb hype choice:

I don't believe Snake will be returning.

 

[Neiteio]

New gear for Mii Fighters:

Floral/cheetah Sakurai shirts

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Like sackboy on PSASBR.
Anyway, if the size is irrelevant, why ridley dont make the cut?
Really, i never understand that.

Size is irrelevant when the character can scale without looking flimsy or stupid. Ridley can't scale down because he's too thin and lanky, meaning he'd end up looking frail and have a weirdly small body because his wings are so huge.

Olimar can scale up fine, because scaling him up doesn't really change anything. They're not even scaling Olimar up. "Technically" they are, but design wise, Olimar is the same and looks fine at "normal" size.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Snake Shovel Knight Banjo Kazooie Anyone but K. Rool GOOOO

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Snake, Inklings and Wolf. Let's go.

I've been championing these as well. Seems like a good bet.

I never saw Knuckles as a smash character before ...but you know what... he could be cool
Besides we have already 2 capcom rep.
Theres will 1 spot more for NAMCO, Sega, Square are on list?

 

[Fate/Cipher]

 

[Geg]

Inklings and/or Wonder-Red are all I really want.

Spoiler

Or maybe Groose as a gag character

 

[Kjellson]

After playing Xenoblade Chronicles X for like a billion hours I really want Elma to be playable. I believe it can happen!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Snake Shovel Knight Banjo Kazooie Anyone but K. Rool GOOOO

If K. Rool is revealed, I will throw my Wii U out the fucking window.

 

[DarkKyo]

Here is Bayonetta if you try to "normalize" her proportions to what is typical in Smash.

Is this what you want?! You want to ravage this behemoth of a woman's carefully considered, freakishly slender proportions to force her into a game she has no business being a part of??

 

[Stitch]

It's going to be Steve!!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Suddenly the 15th/16th is a long day.

 

[Feltrol]

Snake, Inklings and Wolf. Let's go.

Fine by me.

I'm already disappointed that

Dr Eggman

Her proportions are not as crazy in-game as in that concept art you posted. Especially in the second game:

Who???

 

[FloweryMarston]

bayonetta is not going to enter smash, after cloud, there's only goku, banjo, and crash to surpass that.
