The smash ballot is at the December Direct, numbnuts
The ballot ended about a month ago. If their claims of characters taking months to finish was true, they had to have been working on him since July/August
He didnt make it anywhere close to the top of the ballot
The winner was BK as far as everyone knows right now

They could see the results well before the ballot ended. It's the same reason we got King K Rool, Chrom, Black Knight, Viridi, etc costumes.
I'm worried about Zelda,guys.
he wasn't added due to the smash ballot, probably just for other stupid reasons

>all these people think Cloud isn't a ballot result
Sakurai tweeted "I fulfilled a very difficult request, don't you think?"
>>316500641
oh I guess that proves it then huh
why don't they save this at the next e3? their last e3 was fucking terrible
>>316496036
Who's to say Cloud wasn't one of the ballot characters and they just decided to show him off early?
>>316496959
Do you really think they wouldn't get started on at least one character if they had a sizable lead?

Says who? All these gated online smash communities? 4chan? r/smashbros? Smashboards? Sourcegaming? There are a whole lot of people that don't take part in these things. Just because a character wasn't high in all these fan polls doesn't mean they weren't high in the real thing.

Cloud is too far along in development to have been one of the ballot characters. The ballot was such a huge marketing stunt for Nintendo that there isn't any way they wouldn't mention the ballot specifically in the character reveal. You lazy, lazy shitposter.

>The winner was BK
Literally why
Okay, so if we have a "top 3" or "top 5" list of ballot winners, who do you think is getting in?
>Banjo-Kazooie
>King K. Rool
>Wonder Red
>Inkling
>Bayonetta
Shovel Knight is already coming.

Cloud got in. The sky is the limit
He was proably added because the stupid remake is coming out for PS4.
Also Cloud is such a bland character. It's crazy how they don't try to differentiate any of these swordsman attacks. Like Roy I understood because it was another FE character but they ripped a lot of attacks off of FE characters and Shulk.

Not really. He's got a limit break mechanic and a projectile. That alone makes him completely different from the rest
