Seems more like Nintendo will just make any character and put them in Smash

they don't really benefit from Ryu being in the game at all.

Cloud was also in that FF rhythm game, and I assume he's also a character in Final Fantasy Explorers, which is a 3DS title.

I'm finding myself not as floored by this news as I thought I would be, but that's probably because I'm annoyed that I can't watch the Direct.

It's not about sales, it's about variety.

I think it's hilarious. A punchline to a joke, only the joke is now real.

So, where can we rank Cloud on the "Third Party character already in Smash" popularity (mainstream) list?

I think it's like:

  1. Pac Man
  2. Sonic
  3. Ryu
  4. Mega Man
  5. Cloud
  6. Snake

For what it's worth, Final Fantasy games did start off as being on Nintendo systems. Either NES or SNES.

So there's that. tongue

Why do people keep saying that Cloud is from anime?

It's always about sales.

And developing a character and stage for a game like this is expensive. It's also free advertising, since iconic as he is a lot of people who are casual gamers or who stick exclusively to Nintendo consoles may not know who Cloud is, and for the most part, every game he stars in is on a Sony console.

I mean I'm not upset or anything, but it is kind of weird that they keep developing characters to give their rivals' franchises exposure.

I'm fine with this. New stage looks awesome, too.

[up]That's just like my friend. He was clamoring for Sora during the Ballot.

So, this makes 3 veterans and 2 third parties. And the two third parties have hardly any relevance on Nintendo systems.

Oh, and we now get a third party character that debuted after Sonic, and a character whose debut game is as old as I am...

"Don't see him being all that interesting to play, honestly.

Especially since all the sword fighters already have Omni Slash anyway"

Basically.

He seems like a semi-clone at best to me.

I guess Cloud is the "takes Social Media by storm" character that was being talked about a few months ago?

I absolutely did not see that coming. I had written off Cloud quite some time ago.

Whateves, good to see him join the battle, though. grin

Now I'm mostly disappointed that Cloud's alt. costume isn't him wearing a dress.

Instead of commenting on blahblahblah of something I'm still kinda wrapping my head around, I'll instead say- The stage looks really nifty, with the summons and all.

I sure said that!
