And why they made him another addition to Super Sword Brothers? Because we needed more? The biggest issue with Cloud is the whole "never been on a Nintendo System" thing. Swords are one of THE most popular weapons for game characters, especially in Fire Emblem where a decent amount of the roster comes from. Most Final Smashes are honestly pretty similar. Thats hardly an issue really. As for, "why Cloud" simple, popularity. Cloud is one of the most popular video game characters. Final Fantasy VII is one of the most iconic video games. When Nintendo opened up a poll where you can put forward any character, Cloud was likely going to be one of the highest vote getters. That is simply the reality of it.

The Amazing Avian Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Still haven't seen it but I feel like he's gonna be a really fast Shulk who hits like Ike and is gonna kill off the side a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a weeb convention :: All anime all the time. So, I'm trying to figure out how many more characters we can expect. I feel like 3 is a reasonable guess and my vote would be Banjo, Sceptile, and K.Rool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progenitor Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Whoever wanted memes, I don't have them. But I have reactions: Max Dood (my exact reaction pretty much lel): Etika:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4l4Ve1qpz4 Shofu (also my reaction): To clarify: I am actually funking losing my sheet over this. However I feel there could have been better choices, although that's a bit bias since I was never huge on FF. I wanted Chrono :'( Square wai u let it dai.

~British Soul~ Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 On an unrelated note, one of my friends stumbled upon this commercial from the 90s not long after the reveal. I liked that in the comments, someone said "Goku and Bugs Bunny confirmed for Korean Smash" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's funny people are confused by Cloud given the reaction of almost everyone who isn't confused. Anyway I really need to get Cloud and Roy because I want to main them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 As I play CFV, seeing as the trailer showed Cloud using Limit Breaks from FF7, every time I use one of them, I'm gonna say "Limit Break" IRL as if I was using LBs in a game of CFV.

King K. Azo Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Look, there's a simple reason why Cloud.They are asking Nintendo for a favor. "Advertise the FF7 remake for us!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 It is official, Nintendo is the true supporter of video games. they have essentially every major franchise inside one of their flagship games. it's beautiful. SSB is slowly, but surely attaining every single major Japanese game label under it's belt. love it or hate it, you have to respect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSB is slowly, but surely attaining every single major Japanese game label under it's belt. love it or hate it, you have to respect it. Thats a pretty well known fact. End of the day, the people that work at Nintendo are still gamers. They still play PS and Xbox games. In fact, Iwata had a Xbox system. Not to mention the PS4 and XB1 don't have as direct a competition with Nintendo since they have VERY different styles of games. Getting Banjo would be extra cool since they'd then have a flagship Sony character (yes FF isn't Sony exclusive but they are VERY tightly tied) and a major Microsoft character.

mitchermitcher Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I...oh my god. I could imagine the surprise as the Cloud trailer began. They really saved the most shocking for last alright. Yeah, I dig it. Cloud in a smash game. I dig it. I DIG IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Cloud wouldn't have made it in this game without the poll, and likely some deal with Squeeniz. Otherwise, they would have gone Chrono. Because he makes 100% more sense. Or Geno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Square will never again acknowledge Chrono Trigger because Cloud has 95% more angst. Cloud was essentially Nintendo walking up on stage after being called out, saying the greatest your mom joke of all time, and while everyone's mouths are on the floor, dropping the mic and exiting stage left in the silence produced. They have answered our calls and criticisms with the greatest "lemme show you what happens when you try to call me out" in existence as hype erupts in december. When sakurai said "the remaining fighters will mainly be fanservice," he wasn't just talking about the ballot. He was referring to the wet dreams every single 10 year old melee fan had of their angsty husbandos popping in their favorite party-not-party game. it only took over 10 years, but now we can properly masturbate to those fantasies like the internet always wanted.

Flame Dragon Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 this is why i love the man, he trolls so beautifully. That isn't the actual Sakurai. Its a parody account. Though I'm sure he has the biggest grin, especially since the data for Ryu and Roy were leaked and spoiled the surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
