I laughed at this, then realized how this actually has a better chance of being true :(
-
Nah they don't even need the poll for that. They already made the K. Rool costume.
-
I'm sure Sakurai and co are staring at the ballot results, Goku and Shrek leading…..and going "f**k it, pick someone down the list".
-
"Who do you want to add Mr. Sakurai?"
"Uuuh … where's Pichu on that list?"
"He's uh .... the 175th most requested"
"Good enough, let's lead with that!"

Grain of salt time.
http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/11/former-noa-employee-hints-he-knows-who-next-smash-bros-dlc-character-is/We all are left guessing who the next character could be in Super Smash Bros, but former Nintendo of America employee RogersBase claims to know who it is. What we can apparently rule out is the character is not Shovel Knight, Wolf, or Shantae and it is a newcomer that going to get a lot of people talking. Here’s what we know so far based on a number of tweets and forum posts.
- This character is a newcomer.
- This character is popular, but may not be the #1 character on the ballot.
- This character would make a lot of buzz in social media.
- This character is a first-party character.
- This character’s inclusion shouldn’t be a surprise.
- Although one of the guys promptly deleted the tweet, the character is not Wolf, Shovel Knight, or Shantae.
- Apparently it’s a Newcomer + New Stage combo according to Stealth.
RogersBase worked for NoA?
-
I actually can't think of any character that fits all those points.
-
It's Bomberman of course. No doubt about that.
-
Bomberman is not first-party.
-
yeah I don't think I trust that one bit.
Update: Additional information has been supplied which suggests that “Not only is the new character not affiliated with the Smash Ballot according to those in the know, but the character is supposed to be revealed “very soon” & will supposedly be released by the end of the month.”
this was added to it
-
It's gonna be Pink Gold Peach isn't it?
-
It Pewdiepie, right?
-
Not a surprise, not related to the ballot, very popular and has a stage? Inklin.
-
Oh wait. Isaac does fit those points.
-
Like I said, take with a major grain of salt. I only pray someone doesn't leak low-cam rips of the new character, or YT channels like Gamexplain spoiling with the title of a video. I just want to be surprised, gosh darn it. :<
I do believe in something being revealed this month, though.
-
I hope so too, tho, from all the stuff I'm reading I can't tell if people are trying to say the stuff is going to be ANNOUNCE this month, or that it's RELEASING this month?
I mean, Mewtwo and Lucas were announced a long time in advance, but Roy and Ryu? "Oh, you thought you were getting just Lucas today? Well BAM, I see your Lucas and Raise you Ryu and Roy!" so…. either COULD happen...
-
Inkling guys. Way too many hints towards that. Also, the MNN post is really misleading. Roger has not said anything about Smash bros. They've taken the comments of a guy called Stealth who is friends with roger and has said it is about Smash and then attached it to Roger's name because 'former NOA employee' makes it sound more likely and is a more click-bait headline.
But yeah everything points to Inklings. From words down the grape vine and piecing a lot together it seems we will get a direct on Wednesday (most signs pointing to a splatoon-focused one, i hope it is general though) and it will announce both the Octolings in Splatoon and the Inklings in Smash Bros along with a stage. Some of my sources have said that it might not be Inklings and one said the character is very controversial but i don't know if his own bias is getting in the way.
Either way, by the end of this week a new character will definitely be revealed.

There is a possibility of a second character but only because two have been worked on since april. Likely pre-ballot but maybe not.
-
Well the hints are obviously pointing towards Rhythm Heaven inclusion.

LET'S EVERYBODY GO! -
Clearly it's Pink Gold Peach.
In all seriousnes, it's gonna be a tense month ahead of us. As with every character cycle, some fans are gonna be very very happy while others are gonna be very very salty. But let it sink in that we have almost 60 characters in this game.

No Dixie Kong or K. Rool with make me go something something

So Cloud Strife is for some unthinkable reason coming to Smash
-
As I said in the Nintendo thread, I genuinely can't believe that's happening since it's been a joke for more than a decade. Square-Enix must have paid some mega bucks for this.
-
Is this Square's plan to hype FFVII remake?
-
This is wrong on so many levels
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Its snake all over again, but worse.
-
Snake was at least unique and interesting and not swordguy#33353
-
At least Snake had the Gamecube remake as a excuse.

Certain moves they showed like the d-smash and d-air I swear are just Shulk clones.
-

That's what I imagine which is why I said that Square must have paid mega bucks for it.
-
I don't care if it sounds wrong to have Cloud on this game, what I've seen (character moveset and stage) is more than amazing. Must buy for me.
-
"We're happy to promote your franchise/character, even if it's had minimal/no presence on our consoles!" -Sakurai
-
Holy shit, Cloud..REALLY?
My wallet…my poor wallet.
-
Another swordman?! Why?! Urgh….
Sorry Fawful, maybe next time.Although the stage looks Ok, in my opinion. No sell for me.
-
So this means were one step closer from Goku and Shrek right?
-
Wow…Cloud?
Well that certainly came out of left field....well all options are open now. I just hope Bayonetta gets in...but that's just my hopes and dreams right there.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---

I look forward to blaring "All Star" by Smashmouth on every single stage.
-
Wow that was unexpected, I'm totally ok with this. I always joked in my head that cloud would be in smash, it's surreal as hell to see it come true. He seems to have a limit mechanic which could be interesting. And it looks like he has summons too? He did the animation for it so I doubt it was all background… unless that's a taunt. Good stuff I say. Still would rather have Isaac or k.rool but I'd take cloud over most the top picks.
And to those saying he hasn't been on a Nintendo console, he has appeared in Kh: chain of memories on gba.
...that counts right?:ninja:
Edit: Actually looking at it again the summons seem to work like a stage exclusive final smash from the looks of it. I assume you acquire them through the floating orb around the stage.
-
How to pretend to be exited for this
-
Super slash brothers. Please sakurai only Dante is missing.
-
Wow he's literally never been on a single nintendo console before. If I was a nintendo fanboy I think I'd be pissed and confused, good thing I'm not so I'm actually going to buy this DLC. He looks like an even more fun Ike.
Also the salt in this thread is delicious, thank you for delivering based Sakurai.
-
This is awesome. Cloud in Smash?! Easily their best DLC addition to date.

Surely he is raughing somewhere.
I just know it.

/me scratches head.
Isn't this like a divorced couple throwing a party on the anniversary day of their divorce (for spousal abuse) and deciding to have cake with a picture of them beating the crap out of each other?
I could have sworn FF7 was ONE of the reasons why Square had such a hissy fit with nintendo back in the day. Strange to be celebrating something like that on one of their major titles.

Considering that most of the people that worked on FFVII no longer work with Square (either they left gaming or work with Monolith or other companies), maybe they just don't care and want as much recognition for any game as they can.
-
I'm not terribly excited about Cloud, but having just watched the trailer, holy shit that Midgar stage!
-
Cloud? Wow. I loved him in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Coded. Oh, and Theathrhythm.
Never thought such a minor character would get an inclusion in Super Smash Bros, but hey, good for him.
-
I wonder how Cloud Kirby will look like.
-
"We're happy to promote your franchise/character, even if it's had minimal/no presence on our consoles!" -Sakurai
Final Fantasy has had plenty of history on Nintendo consoles, the first 6 games especially on the NES, SNES, and various handhelds… plus the multitudes of spinoffs and whatnot.
Yes, it hasn't been prevelant on it since the Playstation era, but FF has a history and Cloud is the posterboy for FF. (and Sephiroth). If they legitimately wanted to do a FF represtation (and it absolutely has the history and clout to deserve a space, better no one argue that point) then Cloud is the one token character I'd pick, even if he's meh.
Wow he's literally never been on a single nintendo console before.
Kingdom Hearts. Theatrhythm.

They left because they wanted the memory space of CDs rather than cartridges. If Nintendo had gone CD a gen sooner they might have stayed with them.
And again, franchise as a whole, rather than just the one game.
-
In an alternate world it could have been Lightning.
-
I'm a little confused now. Cloud wasn't the ballot character? Or was he?
