Cloud Smash

How can they (reasonably) top this?

Cloud was the worst DLC character

DELET THIS RIGH FUCKING NOW
HE'S MY DLC MAIN

Kiefer Sutherland

when they put in bayo, they were basically admitting that they were at the end of the line

Snake returning for Smash 5 is probably the only thing that could match it, because it's incredibly unlikely.

I would love to top that desu

Japan would unironically love this.

Master Chief, one of the Gears of War dudes, Nathan Drake or Cole. They have to put in a direct competitors character to top fucking Bayonetta/Cloud/Ryu.

>Whoranetta was the worst DLC character
fixed

Bayonetta was a good addition.

>she's cancerously OP
fixed

They nerfed her a long time ago and Cloud never got nerfed. He's basically the go-to character for scrubs.

Bomberman seems like the last obvious one but im not gonna lose my mind over it

honestly the gaping hole is something Western, and i dont think anybody is gonna be excited by Rayman/Shovel Knight/Shantae besides really niche internet communities for the latter two

what big western IP not above would even fit with Smash anyway?

Sora
or Goku

>reasonably
it has to be from vidya originally.

They nerfed her and she's still OP, there's literally nothing you can do against her at higher percentages.
Don't even try to tell me witch time is balanced. She can combo hardcore and no one else in the game can do that. She's broken by design

Someone from Dragon Quest?
Sora?
Belmont or Alucard?
A Fire Emblem character that isn't a swordsman?

But he's already been in Smash. Cloud was more impactful because it was a lot of people's pipe dream

>what big western IP not above would even fit with Smash anyway?

if nothing else, just to see the catastrophic shitposting wormhole Sup Forums would collapse into

And since people want this fucking game on the Switch for whatever reason, this could be the middle ground compromise

hmm... the guy from shadow of mordor?

with balance patches.

they already did with bayo

also goku

Bayonetta was expected because Nintendo was responsible for Bayonetta 2.

Quit lying.

no she wasn't.

people were too enammered with memes to think about it logically
bayo was the most obvious choice given the restraints

Crash Bandicoot if he actually makes a comeback after the remakes

Goku is quite literally the only character. He's up there with Cloud.

I'm fairly certain Goku is way above anyone, only Mickey Mouse could outdo him.

Sora

Yes she was.

IM GONNA WRECK IT

>corn was the worst DLC character
ftfy

the game was absolute shit tho

Is vkend on or no?

>mfw I like both Cloud and Bayo and I'm just here for the salt and tears

>corn, cloud, bayo
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE DELET THIS RIGHT NOW. THEY GUTTED FOX AND PROPPED UP THESE BROKEN CHARACTERS

fuck corrin desu

Smash has gotten pretty much every big name character or big Japanese studio in now.

Richter Belmont and Dracula

...

gordon freeman maybe. just give him a crowbar moveset, gravity final smash.

dbz goku obviously
kid goku would work better though

I really didn't give a shit about Cloud, which is saying something because I thought Corrin was a good addition and I don't care much about FE.

>No liking Rampage

GTFO

>Western shit

Nintendo buys Disney infinity license and put Elsa and Darth Vader in it

Goku, Naruto, Luffy and Sailor Moon, since they are all mascots for the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.

idk user, I didnt think anyone was gonna top Sonic in Brawl, im sure Sakurai being the absolute madman he is will think of something pic related would excite me but i dont thing its ever happening

If you got more hyped for cloud than for Ryu, you're literally a pleb that has no place discussing videogames here.

>wanting non-video game characters in Smash

>Western shit

Not exactly top it, but Dante would be pretty close.

>He says while posting western shit
Not too bright, are (you) weeb?

Ridley. I don't think anything would come close.

Richter Belmont

M-masaka, you got me

I just realized that there isn't a single western character that's ever been in smash.

Maybe if Scorpio ends up bombing so hard that it results in Microsoft's gaming division giving up on home consoles and go the way of SEGA, it could happen

For me personally, I don't think they could. Its very bittersweet. Cloud was honestly the most hype, the most unexpected character they could possibly announce and its all downhill from here.

Even if I got to pick my own special snowflake character, exactly the single character I want the most for Smash, which would be Ray01, it still wouldn't be as exciting or blindside me completely like Cloud did. Cloud's reveal was fucking amazing.

And I don't even play Cloud because his playstyle is so boring to me.

sup

I guess you're right, but it feels like a real technicality.

Diddy is British-born (Rareware) and i think you can make a case for Donkey Kong in a way, since his design and universe hails from DKC series Rare created

but yeah, something Western would be welcome to switch things up a little bit.

As OP as she, is Bayonetta at least requires you to be somewhat competent at Smash to play her well. Cloud is basically Little Mac without all the weaknesses that balanced him out as a character.

bringing back snake is all I want

It's just the fact that there's not many western characters that are viable or fitting for Smash.

On Nintendo's side of things, the only 'important' western characters are K. Rool, Dark Samus and Dixie Kong, and the former two haven't been relevant in a long time.

Cloud can fuck off eternally if he doesn't get some heavy nerfs.

Lloyd

>use witch twist
>use witch time
>requires competency
lmao, ok kid

Little Mac and Doc Louis's appearances in Smash also come from Punch-Out!! Wii, a western developed title.

that's even more technical, they were both characters from the NES game.

If we're going by designs used, you could argue Little Mac is Canadian

>and Cloud never got nerfed. He's basically the go-to character for scrubs.
Why is it Bayonetta fags repeat this to justify their main when we all know that all three (Cloud Corrin and Bayo) were so broken initially that they all eventually got nerfed. Cloud got nerfed the least.

>Getting hit by a counter-move

Try not being so goddamn predictable you sperg. If your opponent can get a counter on you, then it's your fault for telegraphing your attacks.

if people are talking about big/popular western IPs that would thematically fit Smash the best, i seriously think its down to Rayman and Overwatch, not even joking with the latter and im not saying its a good idea

of course the Halo universe would be a great fit too but thats 1st party Microsoft difficulty

the animation is too god damn long.
>durr just avoid it just don't attack
yeah ok, I'll just go in for grabs exclusively then get comboed to death.
face it, she's fucking busted and far more powerful than any other character in the game.
She's more broken than fox ever was

Corrin was

Give him a moveset, Sup Forums

>How can they (reasonably) top this?

There's a Smash Bros with Mega Man, Ryu, Cloud, and Pac-Man right now. The one before this had Solid Snake. At this point is there really any reveal that would be shocking?

You mean Corrin right?

>worst DLC
Clearly you all mean Roy.

Is Cloud really gonna be DLC?

I saw they were doing Mewtwo and stopped following the news

I enjoyed him, he was like a more fun Ike.

Anyone who can't appreciate this has legitimate autism

DLC ended a year ago.
>Mewtwo
>Lucas
>Roy (that Fire Emblem character)
>Ryu
>Cloud
>Bayonetta
>Corrin (another Fire Emblem character but this one plays different)

Mickey Mouse is the final frontier

So did they ever state any reason why the specifically picked Cloud? Was it just because of his popularity in the franchise? Would have liked a FF character that represented Nintendo more.

>gonna be

I think because Cloud is, indeed, the posterboy of the franchise.

Not that big as a game character.

Dovakin from Skyrim

Where's Heihachi?

King K. Kostume and Bandana Goomba fags BTFO. NOW AND FOREVER.

Mii costume.

>Bomberman
>Simon Belmont
>Snake
>Rayman
>Crash Bandicoot
>Banjo & Kazooie
>Master Chief (I'm being serious)
>Minecraft guy

These are the only remaining third party characters that have any business being in Smash. Seeing Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Ryu, and Cloud in a single game is pretty fucking mind blowing and a character like Shovel Knight or Shantae would only taint the water. They need a big name.

If the next Smash trailer featured the return of Snake with a "kep you waiting, huh?" I'd shit my fucking pants.

>Master Chief (I'm being serious)
>Minecraft guy
>any business being in Smash.
(you)

Steve (aka Minecraft Guy) would fit in pretty well.

You really can't compare Bomberman, Simon, Rayman, or Banjo to the rest in terms of fame and relevance.

Maybe not Crash either, I'm not sure. He seemed to be bigger for a longer period of time and may actually have a continuing future on the playstation so I'll throw him in there.

The only characters major enough to compare to the big names are probably Master Chief and Steve from Minecraft.

I've played a Halo game exactly once at a Christmas party when I was a kid and I played Minecraft for one night years ago before uninstalling it and never playing it again, but those characters are definitely big enough names in the video game industry to earn a spot.

Isn't Minecraft one of the most popular video games of all time or something? Not in our age bracket, but I would bet you money little kids would give way more fucks about Steve than they would care about Pac Man.

These. I'd add these all as well:

>Ryu Hayabusa
>Kyo Kusanagi (from KoF)
>Scorpion (from Mortal Kombat)

I actually think a lot of these are really underrated choices that have a pretty high chance of happening (Dante, Ryu Hayabusa, and Master Chief especially) but everyone counts them out for some reason.

Should be Simon you fag

Nah
