Why the fuck do you idiots keep doing this? The characters are ICONS. That's all that needs to be said. Bayonetta isn't as iconic as the rest of them but she was obviously popular enough to be the number ONE most voted character worldwide.
Butthurt icon
>>320799250
Character Action Icon
>>320799403
This
Bayo 2 was the original goldenface
>>320799352
haha fuck you
>>320799250
Don't get me wrong, i like Bayo as much as the next guy, but... Pic related
>>320799250
Sexually repressed Nintendo manchild icon.
>>320799250
samus is from an action game
bayonetta as well
Bayonetta: >Hack n' slash / CUHRAYZEE
>>320799250
Fanbase icon
>>320799250
Sex icon
Obviously
But do we have an anime sword man icon?
>>320799689
Pretty much this. What a shitty character.
>>320799250
she was chosen from the top characters in the ballot, she didn't need to be "iconic" and Nintendo kinda half owns her too. so whatever
if you wanted to see who would have been an action game iconic it would have defiantly been Dante, but she's already a spiritual successor to him
>>320799774
In that case, Dante is more iconic and has been around longer.
>>320800064
He also doesn't have an exclusive title on Wii U.
>>320799837
pit doesn't even use a sword
>>320799837
>Implying Pit uses a sword
>>320800064
Replaced by le fuck you man
>>320800162
desu, you think that stops cloud?
But Bayonetta was also of course influenced by ballot and is the CUHRAYZEE character that's more known by normies.
Do you people think her future is going to be bright?
>>320799250
>Bayonetta: Popularity icon
>literally the most important metric for any business ever since it directly impacts revenue
>Bayonetta is the most important character in smash bros
What bothers me is that she's supposedly the most voted character and super popular yet her games sale like shit. Bunch of fucking secondaries.
Who cares?
Part of the Smash appeal is having characters from radically different games interact with eachother
>>320799250
HEY LOOK MOM I MADE THE SAME THREAD AGAIN
>>320799250
how about ballot winner that good enough for you
>>320800462
>tfw Snake was all we needed to be able to have 8-player matches with all iconic characters
SO close...
>>320799689
>>320799924
Girls can't be sexy for the fuck of it? Bayonetta is empowering as fuck for women. Anyone who says otherwise is retarded imo.
>>320800878
Bayonetta is the mature game on Nintendo icon
>>320800878
>Pikachu, Link and a mii based on Hank Hill aren't iconic
ok
>>320799250
>megaman
>not platformer
>>320799250
Action game?
>tfw voted for Rayman
>Got Bayonetta instead
Honestly thats an even trade Bayo was my number 2 i never thought she'd make it.
Although i am estatic Indies got BTFO those niggas have the best tears.
There is a representative for each of the best games released in the past 10 years. Franchise games I mean.
>>320799250
Beat em up icon. Also Nintendo has a stake in Bayo's success.
>Guns are no longer taboo
Doomguy for 5mash when?
Lara Croft for 5mash when?
>>320801289
Sakurai would never put Western-made characters in Smash. Diddy was the once-in-a-lifetime exception, and it took Sak three games to finally put him in.
>>320799837
>Future Marth
>Not Marth McFly
>No Edgy Marth listed
>>320801289
damn, that master chief pic is rad
>>320799837
>Swole Marth
>Elf Marth Jr.
I chuckled.
>>320801407
Mac
>>320802112
Little Mac was created in Japan.
>>320800064
He also doesn't have a new game out.
Good game icon
>>320802112
Jap, but like DK they used a design made by Westerners
>>320801932
>>320799837
>Modern Marth
>Not Steampunk Marth
>>320801289
It's Sma5h
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Bayonetta: Up-and-coming Hack-n-Slash icon.
Also sex icon and another fem rep
>>320802914
Bayonetta: sales in the shitter, what can we do?
I really doubt tits and vag are their deciding factor.
>>320799837
>Modern Marth instead of Emo Marth
>Future Marth instead of Boy Marth
apparently Wii U owners really love Bayonetta because Bayonetta 2 was exclusive to the Wii U or something. I wouldn't know, I only bought a Wii U for Smash, Star Fox, and Pokken. I'd check it out but I don't usually like character action.
She's not "iconic," she's just a popular character with strong ties to Nintendo.
>Adds a random slut instead of actual videogame icons
What the fuck happened?
>>320799352
This. Mega Man, Sonic, and Mario are all platforming characters. Not like Bayonetta has to compete with prerequisites like that anyways.
>>320800915
>being slutty and looking like a whore is empowering for women
lmfao this kid
>>320799528
Oh how I wish I was on /v/ when Bay 2 was announced. Anyone got any pics of the original butthurt?
>>320803069
Once she becomes well known through smash and amiibos, I'm confident that's not going to be the case for future games. Heck, even the current ones, since the past week has been filled with people here going out to buy it now that she made it.
>>320803747
shhhh be careful next they're going to call you an sjw and tell you to go back to tumblr.
>>320803476
Europe is the grand central station for FIFA and you're surprised that Wii U owning bongs voted with their cocks? All 20 of them? Funnily, Bayo is still a better choice than most of the other memes that were getting peddled on here (see K. Rool and Hat Goomba).
>>320803747
Beats being in burqa, Hakeem. Keep your last world values out of my vidya, slime.
>>320799837
>girl Marth
my sides
>>320801289
there's a big difference
Bayonetta's guns are huge and cartoonishly toy like, they don't look like anything kids could actually endanger someone with.
Doom guy has a shotty, lots of family have shotguns, familiar guns are bad for kids. That's why so many guns in kids shows shoot lasers or some shit, a kid couldn't feasibly get lasers.
Mario represents the rise of platformers
Sonic represents the death of platformers
Pikachu represents the rise of RPGs
Cloud represents the death of RPGs
Cant think of anything for the rest.
Bayonetta is as much of an icon as Travis
Travis when?
Suda51 said he wanted him in Smash according to a Nintendo Power interview
>>320806079
Everyone wants their character in Smash.
>>320800173
>>320800216
Pit uses swords more then corrin does.
When third parties' characters get in Smash, does Nintendo pay them or do they pay Nintendo? Do they go half-half on Amiibo sales?
>>320799837
