It's sad how poor and lacking the Nomura poster for Smash is, compared to the one for Bayo. I mean look at the artworks, the colors, the details: from Peach and Game & Watch fighting with their pans, to Ryu and Little Mac punching each other, to Villager on the dark side, to Yoshi vs Charizard, to Shulk vs a Mech to everything. A great masterpiece overall.
@Cyan:
this is how chrom's been since awakening came out tbh
But Smash took it to another level.
Chrom is not even allowed in the game as a clone lol.
!
Spoiling because image is to big.
Wolf, Corrin/Kamui and Simon Belmont.
The only thing I'm sad about is no return of Ice Climbers or Snake.
Other than that this was a great thing to come back home to.

But Nomura gave us for the first time ever LINK AND CLOUD CLASHING SWORDS CANONICALLY.
HOW ARE YOU NOT EXCITED?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
That was kinda rude.
Oh yeah I remember that I have a Bayoneta mii.
Gonna "play" her sooner than the rest of you guys.:ninja:
The Bayonetta poster is an avatar goldmine. Could pick any character and it'd look amazing.
I'm almost tempted give the game a new try, or pick up the Wii U version.
Nintendo and Sakurai after the Direct:
Geez. Good thing I had zero expectations, because that was sad. Bayonetta was the only remotely interesting addition…
That was an incredibly entertaining direct. They went balls deep making those 3 fighters. I was holding out for Ice Climbers or a different Ganon at the end but was so greatly blindsided by Bayonetta
I'm actually excited for Bayonetta to be in Smash. And I'm planning to get her amiibo when it comes out.
That cloud poster… I thought that it was Terra or Sora first LOL.
Also, what happened to the guard on the master sword? looks like Link's grabbing onto the sword with no purplish blue stuff inbetween
Seriously guys, you could put a real character head on the amiibo and just let us pretend its actually the character (with a generic moveset) rather than the horrible abominations we get otherwise.
Dr. Dre killed Tails and now wears his skin as a trophy, this is my Smash canon.
Who wears the glasses better, Sakurai or Kirby?

Am I missing something here? What character? What Amiibo?
Robby meant Mii costumes. Mii costumes could easily come with a mask, but for some reason don't. Too much work? It makes too much sense? Who knows…
Advertising the QR codes for Mii lookalikes to use with costumes was hilariously pathetic, too. :D
Am I missing something here? What character? What Amiibo?
Mii, amiibo, same difference.
Well that was much better than expected. Both Corrine and Bayo look super fun. Is it February yet?
Mii, amiibo, same difference.
Ah ok. Yeah, would totally prefer a proper inkling mask and not that lazy code thingy.
Okay, so, obviously Fire Emblem is a bigger deal in Japan than America, and its been a Nintendo exclusive, but how the hell is it warranting this many characters? As many as Mario? Ahead of Donkey Kong, Metroid, Star Fox, Pokemon, ZELDA? I mean, seriously.
You answered your own question, Robby. But yeah, it's upsetting that Metroid only gets Samus, yet Fire Emblem gets half a dozen reps, most of which are pretty similar. Fucking Sakurai…
To be fair, of the 6 playable characters only 3 are similar.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The FE franchise have 6 different series(Akaneia, Jugdral, Elibe, Tellius, Sacred Stones and Fates) so in theory it can have it own fighting game.
I'm sad that many people would have been annoyed at a 4th Kid Icarus character, because most of them probably didn't even play Uprising, since if they did they would know just how funny and memorable its characters are. It's also true that a 4th character would have been pushing it, but so is a 6th one for FE. I think that a better choice would have been to either please the masses with Ridley, or show some love to Phoenix Wright as a Capcom/Nintendo veteran since 2001. A character that basically grew only thanks to word of mouth and managed to become iconic enough.
They will probably hold Ridley for a possible Smash 5 in the future, if it will ever happen, along with a new Metroid to bring back Ridley and the series. As for Bayonetta, if this means a fun character to play as, more spotlight for her and the series, and with this more chances of a third game, so be it :ninja:

To be fair, Metroid only has Ridley as a potential newcomer, really. FE would still have twice as much characters.
I guess FE just has more "realizable" characters. It's overall cast is huge. Only Pokemon rivals it.

Really? How about Dark Samus? The SA-X? And don't tell me they're "too cloney", because every other clone gets a pass. The bounty hunters from Corruption? How about from Hunters? Adam or Anthony from Other M (and before anyone starts: I don't give a shit how hated it was)? There are plenty of options, they're just overlooked because Metroid isn't popular in Japan and because Other M bombed.

There's also the problem that a lot of those Metroid guys are minor. Of the hunters, only Sylux stands out, but it was still a spin-off game. Adam and Anthony are from the Metroid everybody wants to forget.
Dark Samus is cool, though, and I guess it could rival Ridley in that aspect, but in the end, it's just 3 "versions" of Samus and Ridley. Still less than FE.
Let's not forget that every FE representant is a main character of their own self-contained games.
Although, if any of them were to be cut in the next installment, it would be Lucina. Her game already has representation with a much more unique character, and she brings nothing that Roy already doesn't. She is pretty pointless in the end.

Is there honestly any key Metroid characters that matter besides Samus and Ridley? We're not looking at games with a rich cast, here.
lol like anyone wants anything from Other M

She brings "from a good game", which is something Roy severely lacks.

I wouldn't really call Robin unique.
I wouldn't really call Robin unique especially with Kamui now being in the game.
I don't think Kamui plays anything like Robin.
Weren't we supposed to be rooting for unique movesets here?

@Cyan:

To be honest, I don't like either. I agree that Roy's game wasn't good. Lucina, while coming from a better game, manages to be a bigger and less unique clone of Marth than Roy.
Marth, Ike, Robin and Corrin would be fine. Fuse Roy and Lucina into Lyn and you would have a perfect representation of the series as a whole.

Kraid. Sure he was made giant eventually, but so was Bowser. And Kraid had a small form originally. But yes, one probem with Metroid is that Samus is the only major constant and the obvious enemy from one game would just be a third Samus basically.
But really, if Charizard can fit, there's not much reason not to have Ridley.
I'm also sure they could do something with the monster arsenal if they got creative, same way Pacman has Galaga attacks, Villager incorporates Baloon Fight and Duck Hunt includes Hogan's Alley.
Or some kind of Castlevania rep. If they can do Snake and Cloud and Bayonetta, they can do Simon Belmont/Alucard.
I don't think Kamui plays anything like Robin.
Not similar in playstyles no, similar in the fact that both are player created avatars from their respective games.

Not with Konami acting they way they're acting.
Poor Lucina is probably not gonna stick around in the future, since they've already pulled the Fates card, and considering Marth was the "original" moveset…..
also is it February yet.

That shouldn't be a problem. It's no different than the silly complaint of too much blue-haired swordsmen, even if said swordsmen play entirely different from each other.
The characters are not the same, come from different games, have different backstories and a different way of fighting. That should be fine.
Why shouldn't there be a third Samus, if that's the only "viable" choice (it isn't)? Most of the FE reps play very similarly, and Dr. Mario is a buffed Mario. Why not have Dark Samus or the SA-X fill that role? And discounting other characters/enemies from representing Metroid in Smash for being minor is hilarious, given some of the minor (if influential) characters that are in the game. Come on, now…

Imagine Mother Brain from Super Metroid playable
Snake may not have gotten in guys. But at least Kojima got in.

Seriously. This is adorable. (As is this)

I laughed out loud at the " *Among realizable characters " disclaimer.
Also, the Kid Icarus trolling was hilarious. Was watching this with a few friends, when it started one dude kept murmuring "Not Hades, Not Hades". (Although, Hades would be kinda neat)
In next Smash, Lucina will probably be a Marth skin.
Marth, Ike, Robin and Corrin would be fine. Fuse Roy and Lucina into Lyn and you would have a perfect representation of the series as a whole.
Actually the ideal is cutting Marth and Roy and leaving 'Cina. Marth also has the problem of "no good games", but also the massive problem of "killed the series"

Holy shit

They won't cut Marth as he's the first hero, and Japan really likes the Akaneia series….for some reason.
The Fire Emblem character was just a retarded addition like seriously too many FE characters at this point.
Bayonetta is a solid addition tho she looks cool
Kamui? Fucking Kamui?
They have a huge library of first party characters that deserve to be in this game and that people really want, and he goes for another fucking Fire Emblem character? Of a game that hasn't even come out anywhere outside of Japan.
Fuck you Sakurai, this is why people want you to not do Smash anymore. Jesus man.
Bayonetta is nice though. But KAMUI???? Ugh.
I feel like the voice actor for Bayonetta was seriously trying not to swear.

I found it funny Bayo gets her trailer/voice in English for the reveal, but not Cloud.
Also I'm really not digging Cam Clarke's Kamui. Who voices the default female one?
I knew Sakurai is big on FE, but wow I did not seriously think we'do get another rep. Suddenly Ravio didn't look so bad. Like how the helld does FE outnumber Zelda of all series.
Bayonetta's a great addition. But so many of the shitty Mii Fighter costumes are of the characters I actually wanted. Maybe in Smash 5, K. Rool.
And what do you mean Goku isn't "realizable?!?!
