Admit it. You were expecting another Kid Icarus character.
Nah bruh
Yes, and I would've fucking loved it.
Getting Bayonetta is 10/10 though so I don't mind
Legit expected Inkling, even though she got a Mii costume.
They're definitely going to be in Smash 5.
>>320565209
I was. What we got was far, far worse.
>>320565209
I was. Hades? Viridi? ....Phosphora? People really liked Phospho- OHSHIT BAYONETTA
>>320565492
this
I think that was the point
>>320565209
I thought it was just setting up the mood.
Fire Emblem vs Kid Icarus ft Kirby from the Kirby May Cry series
>>320565209
Yeah, I was prepared for disappointment. "Oh, another angel" was the best thing in the whole direct.
No, I was hoping it WOULDN'T be a Kid Icarus: Uprising character and I was hoping it WOULD be a first-party character that's been around for at least 20 years and is a newcomer.
When it was revealed to just be Bayonetta, I said to myself that now I didn't have to bother buying any of the Smash 4 DLC.
>>320565209
A sick part of me thought for a split second that Ridley of all characters was gonna come flying in at mach speed and crash onto the stage.
I'm so glad I was wrong.
I missed the big announcement
Who the fuck is corrin?
And why is he ANOTHER fire emblem swordsman
>>320566548
I lost count on how many times I saw the word ANOTHER all in caps lately.
>>320566548
Character from Fates, and Corrin transforms and shit, so they aren't like Marth, Ike, Roy, or Lucina.
>>320565209
And thank god i was wrong.
>>320566548
He's another FE character, but not a swordsmn, 75% of his moves are based around transofmring his limbs into dragon mouthes or spears or sprouting wings or water powers, only his tilts and 2 of his aerials are sword based.
Of course
Especially since the first trailer was fucking fire emblem i was expecting Sakurai to keep playing favorites
Glad we got BayonettaThough to be fair i wouldnt mind HadesOr Medusa, who i originally had in mind after Hades when i heard that voice
>>320565209
After Corrin I truly was.
>>320566548
>ANOTHER Fire Emblem swordsman
Except he's not
He transforms into a fucking dragon and use his limbs to attack
He has a spear he can shove down people's throats and stick them on the ground that will be mostly OP during team matches
>>320565209
I'm pretty sure that was the point.
Just made me lose my shit that much harder when it turned out to be The Left Eye of Darkness.
>nobody noticed when he said "This is finally the climax" before the trailer
>>320565209
I was at first.
Aw, is it Hades? No wait... Ridley? Please no, don't be Ridley. Whoa, Bayonetta!? Alright, I'm fine with this.
>>320570283
But I did.
>>320565209
Not even
I voted for Bayo so I knew the only way for her to be introduced would be if she beat up on one of the Kid Icarus nerds. When I saw it open with Pit my hype spiked because I thought there was no fucking way it was possible. Sometimes miracles do happen.
I didn't assume until I heard the voice, which I thought "Medusa, hope it ain't a Palutena clone."
I would've been fine with Medusa fampai, but Bayonetta was a sweeter surprise.
>>320571004
Good job not being brainwashed by /v/ into thinking she was too sexy/uses guns and voting for another character. I wonder who started this? Probably K.Roolfags.
>>320565209
For a split second, after the zoom to the moon, i actually thought it could have been Sora. Like if the moon were to suddenly take the shape of a heart. Something else that drove me to that is that Pit and Sora have some similar attributes.
But it was a micro-thought for a microsecond.
I hadn't played Bayonetta before. Volume was pretty bad on my computer so I couldn't hear dialogue
I flipped out for a second thinking it was Arlon, since he uses the Lunar Sanctum in KI (which is basically a giant space station that looks like a moon)
Does anyone have any good reaction videos for the reveal? I want to know what it was like for someone who actually enjoys the franchise
Fuck Corrin, could've done so many other unique characters and they chose the most boring one, I probably wouldn't have minded Grey Pit at this point, at least the moveset is unique, but so many other characters could've also have unique movesets and not be a shitty fire emblem character.
>>320565209
Honestly I think they intended that. It's just so perfect how they made it sound like another Kid Icarus character was coming, and then you see the moon and that voice and I started jizzing all over myself...
>>320571503
Oh no, I thought for sure she had no chance, I just wanted her in and voting was no skin off my back. I'm still in disbelief.
>>320572090
Why does anime triggers Dedede fans so much?
>>320572090
Yeah it just seems like it's an unbalanced amount of characters from Fire Emblem. Like, any other series getting a character to catch up to it would be great.
What I want to know is how Nintendo plans on pulling off a Smash 5 if they have to compete with the previous one having 58 characters, if there is going to be a Smash 5.
>>320565209
I thought of Medusa and Hades.
Then I heard a female voice and thought it was Medusa for sure.
Then Bayonetta happened.
And that was the moment my dick screamed in sheer joy.
>>320570283
>climax automatically means bayonetta
Corrin would be fine if Roy an Lucina didn't exist.
>>320565209
I thought it would be Viridi, then Hades, then after the "another angel" I immediately recognized her
I would have been ok with Viridi or Hades because I liked both of them, but at the same time I didn't because I knew that /v/ would burn if we got an FE character and a KI character in the same direct
>>320573053
>if Roy an Lucina didn't exist
Hold the fuck up, fuckboy.
How dare you talk shit about my two mains?
Fuck you, you don't know shit.
>>320573053
This. Lucina should have unique moves or not be in the game at all, and Roy, even though he has enough differences to be the Falco of Marth, there shouldn't be that many characters that are basically clones of Marth.
>>320573053
If Roy had been in the base game and was still as Luigified as he was I'd be totally fine with Corrin. Lucina is the true cancer.
>>320570283
>Climax is a word that Bayonetta invented
>no Snake or Wolf
I-It's not over yet, right? there's still more DLC coming, right?
>>320565209
When he said climax, I thought it could be Bayonetta. Then during the battle, I didn't make the connection of Pit being an angel and Bayo. But then when I saw the moon, I knew for sure.
>>320571816
Only like 5 people on youtube realised it was Bayonetta when they heard her voice. Really disappointing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-aAxgSd6C0

>>320573864
Once again, smash babies don't play things that aren't the most entry level first party nintendo games
>>320565209
If I was watching it live I would've probably thought it was hades, but the eshop spoiled their own presentation by having bayonetta have her own reveal video.
>>320572813
Why do people who play Fire Emblem characters and other animes really annoying and neets?
>>320571816
I liked Vinny's reaction
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0_M8A-Ajug 24:00
KY a shit
>>320571816
RogersBase has a pretty good reaction.
>>320572090
>boring
I voted for K Rool and even I know Corrin has a more interesting moveset. It does make me upset that every FE rep has a sword. To me that's as bad as if every pokemon rep was a fire type.
>>320573864
Max would've been pretty good if it wasn't for that annoying guy next to him.
I thought it was Hades at first
Then Medusa
The Bayonetta happened
>>320573329
Maybe Marth is a clone of Roy? Roy was clearly the favorite of the two with everyone I played with as a kid
>>320565209
>See "Climax" when Sakurai was talking
>"HOLY SHIT...nah it can't be Bayonetta"
>See Pit
>"Umm...so Hades or Medusa, I guess that's fine"
>"Oh another angel"
>mfw
>>320571816
This is my favorite. He calls out Max too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RNYokASsbE
>>320573864
Was the 69% intentional?
Yeah, I was.
Almost thought that it was Medusa, but the voice put me off so I figured they pulled a Palutena again.
Still, not complaining about Bayo. She's a good pick.
>>320565209
>Ugh a Kid Icarus character
>Could have been worse
>BAYONETTA
>It was worse
>>320575474
of coursh
smash is a mature game now
>>320573864
It took me a second to realize who it was, mostly because I was expecting another KI character.
Guys. Like 1/2 of the cast has counter down-b moves and everyone keeps complaining about it right? What if for Smash 5, everyone can do a counter, and everyone who had a counter in a past game will have a different down-b.
And to balance it, maybe add more recovery frames after a counter is executed, and shorten the frame window in which a counter can be activated in the animation.
My mind was racing everywhere
>>320574384
Uh, duh.
That's why Bayonetta 2 on Wii U was a shit idea even if it wouldn't exist without Nintendo. The Wii U is going to die within a year and no one who wants to will ever play it because Nintendo makes shitty consoles.
>>320574384
of course, why do you think there's so much whining over "muh fe swordsmen." if it isn't mario or pokemon or zelda they don't give a fuck.
>>320577007
I just really fucking hate anime.
And also any game with a fucking grid turns me off instantly. It's really just an all around shitty series that doesn't need fucking 6 characters.
>>320565492
Same. But I was like "Sakurai you hack fuck putting ANOTHER Kid Icarus serious-
HOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!"
>expecting anything but three fire emblem characters from hackurai
>>320577123
>I just really fucking hate anime
You have problems kid, unless you had a really bad experience involving chinese cartoons.
>>320577007
It's not like they're lying. Yes, it's not a new swordmen, but fucking hell, yet another FE character? Sakurai's bias is infuriating, 6 reps man.
>>320565209
I was expecting Hades when the camera zoomed in on Pit, which I would have been good with. Bayo however is also good so I'm not complaining.
>>320565492
Yeah. Same order of thought too.
>>320566548
i only dislike corrins addition because it's another fucking FE character
it's gonna outnumber the mario reps at this rate
>>320570283
I noticed, but i was too distracted by Sakurai saying "It's time for the final new challenger"
>>320572090
>We are going to shit on a good character with a great moveset because he's part of Fire Emblem
>>320573053
This, ignore Roy and Lucina and you'll realize there's only 4 FE Reps
Okay real talk. Am I the only one who's gonna feel awkward playing this with my 5 year old nephew with Beyonetta doing Beyonetta things.
>>320565209
>See Corrin
>Jesus fuck Sakurai, what's next, another fucking Kid Icarus character?
>See the start of this trailer
Bayonetta looks fun though, it's just a shame the other 2 characters are total shit.
>>320577949
She's covered up. You're fine.
I think both of the final character trailers were polar opposites of the phrase "Sakurai actually did it, the absolute madman"
![tumblr_m2numoKY9E1rsundmo1_1280[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9K6nMUU.jpg "tumblr_m2numoKY9E1rsundmo1_1280[1].jpg")
>>320577123
>I just really fucking hate anime.
went oh my god sakurai you fucking hack quit shoving you're series into smash so much when i say pit then I heard Bayo's voice and lost my shit
>>320571816
No smash reactions will ever beat the FF7 remake reactions.
Pit-kun is cute :3
>>320570283
>Finally the climax
Oh FUCK. It couldn't be could it?
>Cut to Pit fighting
Well h-he's an angel but still...
>Pit wins
S-someone has to show him a lesson
>Shot of moon
Well here we FUCKIN GO SON
I actually didn't, I noticed he said this last character was the game's "final climax" and also I'm not a fucking poseur so I recognized her voice instantly.
The only thing that bugs me is Gamorrah's elephant trumpet
Was it really that way in the original games?
>>320573864
Nairo figured it out quickly too on his stream.
>>320579721
Yes.
Goddamn you hear it all the time in the first chapters because Gomorrah's the only demon she summons until Fortitudo.
>>320580779
Huh
I played the original up to a pointI got stuck...but I must have forgotten that.
>Hades?
>Oh my fucking god, Magus? I like Magus and all but why-
>Hades is bleh but I can handle it - it really doesn't seem like a great choi-
>We already have fucking Dark Pit why is-
>Holy fuck why is Phosphera in Sma-
>WHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOLLLLLLLLLLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
>>320570283
Sakurai looks really pretty with those glasses.
It's kinda scary.
>>320574384
I don't know why wii u owners wouldn't own bayonetta, I mean it's not that great but what the fuck else is there to play on the console?
>>320577007
Any series over-repped relative to its actual popularity or relevance would be shat on promptly. Mario and Pokemon (MAYBE Zelda too) deserve their amount more than any other. FE is just being artificially pushed.
>oh damn is it Hades
>waitaminute that voice
>there's no fucking way
>fucking Bayonetta
Corrin was kinda eh until I saw how he actually plays so I'm excited for him too, but goddamn Bayonetta stole the direct.
anyone have the archive link to the smash direct sticky? I wish to see the reactions since I was at work at the time
>>320582715
Let me sum it up for you:
>LITERALLY WHO
>OH BOY ANOTHER ANIME SWORDSMAN
>GENOFAGS BTFO
>ASHLEYFAGS BTFO
>HOLY FUCK BAYONETTA
That was basically the entire thread
>>320571816EtikaIf only for the fact his autism is so exaggerated it's ironically funny
>>320565209
FUCK YOU SAKURAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
>>320583167
>Doesn't even recognize her voice when she talks
>Acts extremely hype when she appears
Can't believe people watch this guy
>>320583448
Etika and GameXplain are going to struggle until Smash 5 is announced
>>320585864
GameXplain will be fine. They'll just focus on other Nintendo games like usual and maybe branch out for games like P5 and KH3
>>320565209
I was getting hyped for Hades. Got Fanservice slut instead.
Dunno how to feel
>>320583167
That jackass isn't funny even ironically
He knows fuck all about videogames and yet he pretends to be the most excited one about everything
>>320566548
It's not like Nintendo has many other franchises popping out actual new characters or am I wrong because isn't new Zelda shit just reincarnations of old characters
>>320566548
Fire Emblem has more characters than all the other Nintendo franchrises combined (excluding Pokemon)
>>320587750
They could have included the best Zelda character with a moveset based around bombs and being generally awesome
>>320565209
My thought process was Hades>Viridi>Medusa>Wait, what the fuck?
It was a really pleasant surprise.
>>320588184
Would all feel forced and unnatural. Fire Emblem characters are all natural fighters so that's why they're so easy to implement in smash
I was starting to close the browser. My stream was lagging a bit so when I exited full screen I saw the comments full of Bayonetta. So glad. Could you imagine the fucking outrage if we got a 6th FE character AND a 4th KI character? Good lord.
>>320571762
Literally who
>>320588253
Many characters don't fight much and are still in, like villager, wii fit, game and watch, pac man, duck hunt, maybe peach, captain falcon and the starfox characters
>>320573242
> I main the same character twice
Jesus christ fucking Coal Emblem fags
>>320588821
Peach does fight
All the other characters are from games where there are NO characters that fight. In Zelda there are many characters that can actually fight and Groose would feel horribly unfitting among them.
Fucking Tingle has a better chance
>>320565209
Kid Icarus was never even on my radar when I was a kid. When did this game suddenly become insanely popular enough to warrant a whole cast of characters from it being introduced into Smash?
>>320589049
Sakurai's will.
>>320589049
Because Sakurai redesigned him to be a fuccboi in Brawl.
>>320566254
Are there even any 20+ year old Nintendo characters that aren't in and are popular enough to have gotten through the ballot
>>320565209
>watching stream with mates
>"Watch out Pit, a challenger approaches!"
>"Uh... Fucking HADES?!"
>suddenly bats
>shout "NO!" then ugh
>"Who IS that, Lady Palutena?"
>"I KNOW RIGHT?"
I said any of the meme characterse everyone voted for were retarded but I would've been okay with those. Bayonetta was the only character I exclusively didn't want for being an overdesigned literally who slut and now she's fucking in.
Fucking hell, I AM this buttblasted. Worst thing is that I'm going to buy her regardless and see her face on the roster everytime I play.
He said "climax". Who else were you expecting?
>>320589049
When they were deciding the roster for Smash 4 the first thing they looked at was what games were popular at the time. Fire Emblem Awakening and Kid Icarus were the most recent big releases at the time.
Bayonetta being too mature, using guns and not being that popular were all completely valid arguments against her inclusion and the primary reason why very few people actually thought she'd get in.
>>320589049
Sakurai has no shame and wanted to heap love onto the franchise he most recently worked on. FE also seems to get a lot of love since he's a big fan of the series.
>>320573496
>>320573003
It was obviously a hint you retards. Don't be so butthurt that it went past you.
I thought it was going to be Hades. Which would have been okay, but very underwhelming.
Then it showed the moon and I started marking out.
Also, do you guys think Pit & Palutena being involved in the trailer means they'll be doing Palutena's Guidance for the DLC characters? I noticed while playing earlier that none of the DLC characters have one.
>>320589586
>and are popular enough to have gotten through the ballot
Obviously not, or they would have won.
>>320565209
Yes I did, and I was fucking pissed.
I was already mad because of fucking garbage Corrin.
But then I heard Bayonetta's voice.
Best newcomer
>>320590003
>not being that popular
>won the ballot
Clearly she's more popular than anyone else.
And before you start about the "Among feasible characters" shit, that's very clearly just code for "Characters who aren't Snake, Goku, or Ridley".
>>320590247
Yeah, and it may not have been either because the word is associated with the ending and not a unique term to bayonetta
once again
>Climax is a word invented by Bayonetta
>>320591790
It's a word outside Nintendo's general lexicon that was used in the specific context of a new character announcement with stress intoned on it.
>>320590247
It was clearly foreshadowing Bayo in retrospect, but I'm glad it went over my head because it made the reveal that much more hype.
>Overslept and missed the reveal.
>mfw I was actually expecting goku
>>320583448
Reaction videos used to be good because they weren't a thing. It was nice to see people's genuine reaction .
Now it's a YouTube gimic that's forced as hell .
Maximilian seems to still be the only guy whose reaction was genuine . He knew the second the Ff7 theme started playing and him and his boy were crossing their fingers for bayo.
Every nignog with a reaction video didn't recognize bayos voice which really shows the shit was a forced reaction .
>if you need to learn how to talk to a lady
>ask your mom
subtle kek
>>320565492
I literally had the exact same thought process in that order
>>320566548
Sakurai wanted to eliminate any and all doubt that he's a hack.
>>320565492
>Hades? nah, Hades is too cool, Sakurai would never put him. IT's probably Viridi to add some fapba- YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>320565492
I was at work, and I saw Pit and thought "oh, it's nothing."
Help out some customers and then all I hear from my co-workers was OH SHIT Is that Bayonetta?
10/10 reveal, would be rused again
>>320566548
Corrin is a lance user/half-dragon person, bruh.
>>320600243
>would be rused again
about that
>>320598698
>They're so huge!
>smashing
All great
>>320566548
He's like a mighty morphin power swordsman, though I'm not going to be surprised if his inclusion actually brings up a lot more contempt for the FE series
I wanted Dark Classic Pit
>>320601565
rekt
>>320601565
Fuck that made me laugh
>>320575250
Same for me, man. When I always mained Roy in Meleeand Sonic in Brawland Lucina in Smash 4, but I've never wanted to touch Marth ever.
>>320569636
okay but he still has a sword and is from Fire Emblem? Dragonshi or not, why couldn't we get a rep from any other series?
>>320604410
BECAUSE FIRE EMBLEM IS FUCKING POPULAR IN JAPAN AND SAKURAI HAD TO SHOEHORN THE PROTAGONIST FROM THE LATEST GAME
FUCK
They already did this in Melee and Brawl
The voice filter they used before she appeared threw me off. Then it clicked "must have missed one" was the moment my jaw dropped and I said "no fucking way" before yelling and scaring my girlfriend.
>>320604538
>>BECAUSE FIRE EMBLEM IS FUCKING POPULAR IN JAPAN
http://gematsu.com/2015/09/media-create-sales-83115-9615
Yeah explain how the sales got even worse there than awakening
>>320604410
>B-B-BUT THE SWORD
>B-BUT FIRE EMBLEM
That means jackshit because a lot of his moves have him transform into a dragon. We could've got K. Rool or Wolf with a tree branch with the same moves as Marth for fucks sake and you guys would eat it up because it's not a Fire Emblem character.
>>320601721
I wanted to give Fire Emblem a try after Smash. I had it downloaded on my 3DS. It's been sitting there, but I have less will to even bother with Corrin's addition. I known I'm pirating so it doesn't really matter, but it really did the opposite of what the intended for me and I doubt I'm the only one. It made me think:
>Fuck, they're pushing this series way too hard down my throat and I really don't want this shit to get more popular if it means they'll just throw in every FE and their grandfathers (literally) into this
>>320589049
Pit got in because Sakurai wanted to boost the character's profile so Nintendo would let him make Uprising.
Palutena got in because she's the token second rep. Dark Pit got in because he's an easy copy-paste job.
>tfw I rage quit the stream when I saw pit and heard Palutena and didn't find out about bayonetta until 8 hours later when I got back from work
>>320565209
No. I knew as soon as Sakurai said "climax" before the clip even started who it was.
>>320565209
I was expecting Hades, I'm very disappointed.
>palutena is the new codec calls
I thought the possibility of Hades was there, but didn't really expect it to be KI just because of Pit and Palutena talking.
>>320604538
Why couldn't he shill something unique like Splatoon or Chibi Robo.
Chibi needs it MUCH more the FE
>>320570283
He was also wearing her glasses the whole time.
>>320587510
Seriously this. He's such a fucking casual. How the fuck did he get popular enough to make money off his shit? The dude literally doesn't even know entry level shit. He didn't even play games until the fucking Wii because his nigger family was too poor to afford a TV.
>>320607231
Nintendo invested more in FE and they finally got their big break with Awakening, they want to continue the momentum with Fates.
>>320575440
god that shit is so cringe worthy.
>>320566548
publicity for the upcoming game. same as melee.
>>320576927
wtf was that lol
>>320589670
Fucking this. The only realistic character that I want in less than Bayonetta is Steve.
>>320608284
(You)
After revealing a sixth fire emblem character you bet your ass I was.
I was however pleasantly surprised to get bayonetta instead
>>320571816
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLHmPi5Zo44:^)
I thought it was gonna be Pandora
>>320565209
I thought it was Medusa at first
>>320566548
Sakurai is an FE fanboy.
There was an interview a few days before the direct (that, looking back, totally foreshadowed another FE character) that straight up confirmed it.
Thankfully Corrin at least looks original and fun as hell, which kind of mitigates the lameness of them being yet another FE character.
>>320581183
Sakurai is a pretty man.
Dye his hair blue and he's pretty much Marth
