I didn't bother watching and the front page is kind of a mess.

So who's in?
-Bayo
-Fire Emblem person
-Geno? (I can't tell whether people are being serious or not)

Geno's just a Mii costume.
Reconfirmation for Cloud, as well as Corrin (Fire Emblem Fates) and Bayonetta.
 
Disappointing Direct, and a lane way to end Smash 4 support.

Three more anime characters. Absolutely disgusting. Cause we didn't already have enough Anime characters with swords, or enough characters with guns.

Could have been something unique, like Banjo-Kazooie, or Shovel Knight. Hell if you wanted more Anime, Goku was perfect.

But nope. More lame Anime characters.
 
Bayonetta in Smash. Game of the forever. So fucking crazy.

The new Fire Emblem guy/gal seems really fun, I'll almost certainly buy them too.

Kind of sorry for Inkling/Geno/Ashley/Takamaru fans, it must have been a bit of salt-in-the-wound moment seeing them in costume form. :( Hopefully next Smash will at least include Takamaru and Inkling.
They added Bayo so I can live with it.
 
Not sure if it'll be tourney legal, we'll have to see how it works. However, it is at least going to be a fun stage to fight on, because it doesn't have everything exploding and falling apart.

My favorite part about the stage.

I was cringing just waiting for Sakurai to say "AND THEN THEY COME IN BLOW SHIT UP WITH SPLOSIONS AND LASERS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAKES A GOOD STAGE RIGHT???!?!", but was relieved when the presentation was over and none of that trash reared its head for this stage.

Was sorta hopeful for Midgar but too many of the summons were BS. If there's a Smash 5 I REALLY hope for stage hazards that aren't obnoxious to the point where you can't even realize what's going on.

so Cloud and Bayonetta are boring but the 4 FE sword clones + Robin are not and they can be played "entirely differently".

okay

No. My point was pretty obvious and that was to criticize the logic being used against FE characters. And Ike, Marth, Corrin, Robin, and somewhat Roy all play completely differently. The FE characters are not clones (outside of Lucina and partially Roy-even then there's other series with clones too, like Mario and Kid Icarus, so the clone argument against FE alone also makes no sense), no matter how much you repeat that outright demonstrable falsehood.

Bayo attacks with her feet/fists sometimes, therefore she's a boring addition as we already have loads of characters who do this. Cloud uses a sword, therefore he's a boring addition as well since there's loads of sword users. That's literally the logic you guys are using against FE here. It's ridiculous.

That said, I am excited for all of the upcoming dlc.
 
That's what gets me about all the whining. They all pretty much play completely differently. It's only because they come from the same franchise that people throw a fit over them.

People are that annoyed with a lot of FE characters? I mean, I can understand being a big irked about Corren coming to Smash but he looks so different compared to everyone else. In a lot of ways, we got a more melee focused Robin, which is a sound comparison as both Robin and Corren are player main characters.

Lucina, Roy and Marth are the ones people sorta have a right to be annoyed over as all three share the same based but still; even they have enough differences (Roy has a lot of fire attack and is stronger, Marth is very fast). Lucina is a clone but at least she adds to the female roster representing FE.

It was also nice that we got two female DLC fighters with Corren and Bayonetta too :).

I would be lying if I wasn't disappointed with no Wolf, Snake or Banjo & Kazooie but the DLC that is coming and is out is great, so I'm happy regardless :).

Ohh almost forgot I LOVE that Tetsuya Nomura smash art. Its going to be my new phone idle screen.

And Bayo's proportion look much better IMO. I guess I just don't get the exaggerated proportion outside of the high fashion world.

That's one way to censor Bayonetta.

Wait, who censor her?
 
They combined all things that are good. We all got what we wanted. An ancient Dragon disguised as a tight bodied anime child, wielding a sword and Fire Emblem gets a much deserved rep.
 
Within a few hours. The e-shop is already crashed with people refreshing it.



Exactly. Which further doesn't make sense to me since Pokemon has loads of Reps, as does the Mario series. It's not like a game series with a lot of reps isn't unheard of in Smash.
It's a mixture of the fact that they're all from the same series, and the fact that in a series with a bunch of different weapons they keep picking characters that use swords. It's boring when they have a bunch of other options and don't use them.
 
I am flat out going to say Corrin was a wasted slot. Like come on man, you said DLC was fan service. No one was asking for that. Inkling, wolf, or whoever at least would have fit with that notion. I mean he doesn't look bad, but DLC for a character not even in a game in the west now feels odd. Even if roy was in a similar situation in melee.
 
Where are the couple of posters who were very hopeful for Female fighter DLC during the past week of smash hype? I wanna see how they feel about this.

I agree as far as the weapon thing goes. I would welcome say, Sigurd. Japan loves the guy afterall and he rides a horse and wields a spear.
That also said, the FE characters for the most part play different. Corrin barely seemed to even use their sword.
 
Don't want to toot my own horn but as soon as Sakurai said climax I was convinced it was going to be Bayonetta. Seeing Pit just confirmed it for me.

I sort of thought about it for a second, but it seemed so impossible I dismissed it instantly. Even her first line I half-expected to be a recast Medusa.
 
That poll change is salty. One

I hope that the Ice Climbers and Wolf returns in the next game, they were two of 5 most played characters of my my brother since Melee and Brawl
The Triple D. and the Pink Puff are his main characters.
 
Bayo and Cloud are fine. Unique series additions. Corrin though...does not excite me.

Another FE character no matter how well made just seems uninspired :(
