It's not fair! He should have gotten in!

This, undertale should've had representation

>fucking tourneyfags missing the point of smash!
>now excuse me while i beg for A CHARACTER WHOSE GAME WAS NEVER RELEASED ON A NINTENDO SYSTEM

>Cloud

RIDLEY IS IN
SAKURAI'S JUST TEASING WITH THE SHADOW
HE NEVER SAID HE WASN'T PLAYABLE

Best newcomer desu

The only logical choice to get in is Shantasl. She will win the ballot!

>What is Final Fantasy Theatrhythm

I wasn't aware that's the game Cloud originated from.

Cloud has been in games that were released in Nintendo consoles tho.

>Sonic originated on a Nintendo platform

Don't matter, he had a game on a nintendo platform.

I wssn't aware that sonic, snake, ryu and pac-man originated in a Nintendo platform.

I never claimed that. Besides, said "WHOSE GAME WAS NEVER RELEASED ON A NINTENDO SYSYEM", clearly implying that the game you originate from needed to be on their system in order to count. I was refuting that point, not making my own point. I could have used Sonic as an example, but I chose Cloud instead.

Well Snake did originate on a Nintendo platform.

I didn't know MSX2 was a Nintendo platform.

>no chosen undead
>no chrom
>no wonder red
>no sukapon

Smash was a disappointment.

>no chrom

didn't you fuckers bitch about there being so many "anime swordsmen"? atleast robin's unique, whereas chrom's just another blue haired sword guy like marth.

>no axe wielder
>no spear wielder
>no mounted unit
>mage with a sword
>manakete with a sword
>3 Marths
>5/6 counters
Why does Fire Emblem have such shitty representation?

BUT IT WASN'T MY ANIME SWORDSMAN!

Go to IntSys and beg for a protag who's primary weapon isn't a sword

What a scam. I'm surprised people do talk more often about this, the fact that they COMPLETELY fabricated the ballot and just chose whoever he hell they wanted.

Hector and Ephriam
Micaiah (lol she's shit)
A fair amount of Lords have horses

Yes but are any of them NEW and RELEVANT?

>ANOTHER ANIME SWORDSMAN

Cloud was such a dumb choice especially since he has no English voice. But i got Bayonetta so I won't complain.

Aqua/Azura

Well if it wasn't for the fact that Fates came out during the DLC run there could have been a chance that Corrin and Azura would have gotten in,

why was he a dumb choice? is it because of "MUH NINTENDO PURITY"? which was already shattered by snake to begin with?

people wanted a final fantasy character in smash, and cloud is the most popular and iconic of them all, and is in general one of the most well known characters in vidya history. sakurai made the right choice.

no english voice acting sucks but that probably had something to do with square enix or something. same thing with the sparse music tracks on midgar thank god for sm4sh modding

A series like FF is hard to represent because almost every game has a completely different cast. It's kind of a similar issue with Pokemon where there are 700+ creature you could battle with, and everybody's experience is going to be different, so it's hard to single out a character that everybody who's played the series has a connection with (unlike a series like Mario, where everybody has a connection with Mario because he's the star of 99% of them). So instead you have to pick out characters that are way more popular than others, like Pikachu or Lucario, despite the fact that there are going to a large amount of players who disagree and resent the choice. The fact of the matter is, Cloud is the de facto poster boy of Final Fantasy. His game is the best selling, arguably the best received all around, and I believe has the most media spin-offs. Plus he has made a shitton of guest appearances (maybe the most out of any other FF character). While someone like Cecil or a Warrior of Light might have been more appropriate from a Nintendo standpoint, I think the Smash Team and, judging by the votes, the majority of the public wanted someone who represents the whole franchise as a whole, and that man is Cloud.

Snake had Twin Snakes on GC. Cloud only appears in very minor roles in the Nintendo games he's in.
Cloud is more suited for PSAS than Smash, he doesn't really have anything to do with Nintendo. Its like adding the Minecraft guy or some shit.

>tfw my most-played Mii is a Frisk

Do you have a single fact to back that up other than "DA CHARACTER I VOTED 4 DIDNT GIT IN!"

Chrom would've been better than Lucina although it would have been better not to have either.

You're disillusion if you don't think Shantae didn't win by a landslide. Haven't you seen all those random posts by anons on Sup Forums saying they voted for her? She is clearly the most popular!

Why do you suppose they never released the results?

You will never in a million years convince me Bayonetta got more votes than these little fuckers.

Not him but it's rather suspicious a very seldom-discussed choice whom Nintendo would love to advertise (since they basically half-own it) had won out of "realizeable characters" .

Yeah it's less obvious than Corrin, and on the same level of guessing as "Ninty being paid for Ryu advertising SFV and Cloud for the FF7 remake", but it's certainly plausible. And rather brilliant to hide such a recent "unlikely" M-rated choice behind a ballot.

I say this being hesitant on 100% believing this and liking Bayo myself, even if she sometimes makes me wish she were Dante.

Dante in smash when?

Hey retard(s). It was never an election. The winners were never going to be picked solely based on votes. They've said from the begining it was just for suggestions.
And you faggots should be glad it wasn't purely based on votes, because there is no doubt that the top 10 characters they could reasonably do were probably more Mario shit.

>"I'm no ordinary swordsman!"
>"Which is why I carry my Levin Sword!"

You didn't answer my question. Or explain why it was fine to advertise something as a vote when it did not correlate with the characters that were to be picked at all

So who will be making Smash 5?
My guesses are either RetroStudios, HAL, or Playtonic

While a random mage/etc from Nintendo-era FF would fit better, Cloud is undeniably the most popular FF protagonist. Far more people would've bitched if he didn't get picked.

>Playtonic making Smash 5

>Banjo still doesn't make it in

They dont own him anymore sadly

>when it did not correlate with the characters that were to be picked at all
Only according to your paranoia.

Until actual untampered results ever get leaked, his guess is as good as yours.

So I ask again, why do you think there is no public record of those results?

The bitching over who "should've won" would never cease. Especially if the amount of discarded (but viable) entries above Bayo is massive.

Because the top 50 results (assuming you get rid of every anime character, superhero, and YouTube eceleb) are all probably Pokemon, B-list Mario and Zelda characters, then probably followed by completely impossible vidya characters.
Who do you think "won", and do you think they would honesty improve the game in terms assets they bring with them.

Oh, please. Don't pretend you wouldn't kick and scream about how Sakurai cooked the books if they did post the results.

I'd assume either Sakurai and/or Namco Bandai.

You do realize that making Smash Bros. games is a huge endeavor, right? Companies like HAL Labs and especially Playtonic (which was just put together very very recently and has like 20 people on it) are just too small to handle the manpower of producing a Smash game. That's why Sakurai went to Namco Bandai in the first place.

neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=145437709&postcount=53

>MS: When we created Kid Icarus 3DS we assembled people from several places, but we experienced problems and had some regrets with that. I had to do interviews and other HR-duties, which amounts to a lot of time and work. Obviously, everyone has different levels of experience and different ways of working, so bringing everything together was difficult. To solve this problem we thought it would be better to have one single company work for us, so we choose to work with Bandai Namco Games who produce Tekken and other games. When thinking about a Japanese company that can make a large-scale fighting-game, there was only this one company. It would be quite difficult for other companies I think.

By the way, fat chance they'd allow an western studio to develop Smash like that.

Prior to its ending I would agree with you, but they did spin Bayonetta as being a top poll choice despite it obviously being a lie.

Bayonetta only won because she was the highest voted, or at least one of the highest voted, character in Europe. Sakurai said that all the American votes were ones that he didn't recognize. Willing to bet it was Shrek and Goku

gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/12/16/splatoon-devs-talk-future-updates-and-why-the-series-wouldnt-work-on-3ds.aspx

Basically the 3DS can't handle all those ink effects.

>despite it obviously being a lie.
After getting rid of non-vidya, impossibles, and series with already enough reps she probably was.

Nintendo have made countless desicions that provoked a lot of bitching. What makes this one any different?If those were the honest to god results then it should only help that image, no? And just to remind you, they made it explicitly clear that there were no, none, ZERO restrictions to the contenders so long as they won. Could have very easily set one or two guidelines about what would be omitted.
Literally even if they had released the results modified Id be a lot less inclined to question how much influence the ballot had. Or at least prove they were even keeping track of anything. For all we know submitting your vote did absolutely nothing past thanking the user after you selected 'submit'

Sakurai said he was done with the series though

That's a terrible Frisk Mii

ya'll nerds thought you were voting for the characters you wanted.

you got cheesed.

>And just to remind you, they made it explicitly clear that there were no, none, ZERO restrictions to the contenders so long as they won.
>so long as they won
When?

>Literally even if they had released the results modified Id be a lot less inclined to question how much influence the ballot had. Or at least prove they were even keeping track of anything
Don't fucking lie. You'd be still bitching about how it all faked.

I'm glad that Geno at least got acknowledged but it upsets me seeing Lloyd only using one sword.

NEVER EVER

...

The leak was the most fun part of smash 4

literally always says that

Not him, but Iwata was the one who talked him into making more. He might be done for real this time.

the travesty of shulk being in smash bros was that he was a literally who before he was in smash bros. Xenoblade Chronicles didn't even sell 1 million copies.

Most anyone who had a working brain would have been right to assume he wouldn't be in Smash Bros, but Nintendo devs aren't people with working brains.

Man fuck the 3DS. Cost us Ice Climbers and potentially squidkids too.

It's as close as you can get.

Looks better when it's actually moving and fighting.

Path of Radience and Radiant Dawn sold like garbage too but we got Ike. Which is good because Ike is best Fire Emblem.

You were still wrong m8 lol

>It's as close as you can get
no

Nah, they were passing her off as a topper in spite of that. Regardless you would expect her to have been better placed in the less-casual community polls more than anywhere else (her games didn't sell particularly well, why would she be so much more popular with more casual players). Add to that the fact that Kamiya and Sakurai have had plenty of prior contact it's common sense to think it's a prearranged deal.

Closest regarding Sm4sh bodies.

I'd go either way with the hair though.

Man I'm talking about the face. Your Mii has a nose. And the eyes and mouth are too spread apart.

>One of those posts is surely made by me

>Finally get a chance to ask for characters Sakurai normally wouldn't pick.
>DLC characters are mostly from previous games.
>Only 2 actual new characters get voted in.
>Another FE character shows up.

There are no rails for the hype train to ride on anymore.

>Only 2 actual new characters get voted in.
Be grateful, because we could have ended with one or none at all.

Sakurai actually said that he wanted to make Geno playable in this game and brawl, but eventually went with cloud for recognition's sake.

Ashleyfags never stood a chance.

Fair enough then.

So NX is definitely getting FF7R, right?

There's no way a trade like that can be one sided.

melee is perfection, who gives a hoot about any other smash game?

>Japan time will never be good again
I don't see what would top the Bayo, Cloud, and Ryu (even if he got leaked) reveals

I remember the day.

The day Ridley was confirmed as a boos.

The pain
The tears

NOTHING could ever top that day.

I remember when Pac Man was first announced everyone lost their shit in panic, man was that good.

People used to say the same about Snake and Sonic.

Brace yourself for Banjo in Smash 5.

Damn I forgot how autistic Ridleyfags were.

Why the fuck didn't reveal him at the Invitational?

Imagine THIS

youtu.be/BDsmjbifWUk?t=24s

but with an entire crowd.

It still hurts

Stop being so down. Let's be optimistic.
Who are you guys rooting for in SSB5?

That was a legitimately good fake.

But then his ego started inflating.

It still hurts

Smashified sucks too.
Rayman is the only believable one on the entire site. Anything more complex than Bomberman looks terrible.

I'll forget all my anger over Corrin or the poll's authenticity if this happens in 5 (or an NX "complete edition" of 4).

I still have this saved.

I still can't watch the video where he explains how he created the video.
That fucking smug smile makes me rage more than anything else.
