This is really rubbing it in for fans of PS All Stars, who were begging for Cloud.

Not that i'm gloating, i'd gladly let him go to that game in exchange for someone like Bayonetta.

SE's kinda proven to be like Atlus- Their stationing on Sony hardware has proven less a sign of allegiance and more a quirk of history, with them truly being wandering samurai, answering to no master but themselves.

...

Fuck it, let's get Jack Frost or Yu Narukami or someone up in here, we already got Sega on-board so Atlus' stuff wouldn't be a problem.

Well said, InAnOdderWay. Smash might have questionable decisions at times, but when it comes down to chaotic fun and giving fanboys everywhere their wettest combat fantasies it always delivers.

I have a hard time imagining Smash without Sakurai at the helm.

I am convinced that time and logic itself have ceased to make sense. I feel like I reached some new euphoric high when I realized that Cloud got into Smash Brothers before Sony would dare to put him in Playstation All Stars.

Sakurai's mind is an enigma. We try to work around it, we try to reason our way into it. "It's between Isaac and K. Rool" we say to ourselves, "Inklings are a lock", we say to ourselves, "Wolf might happen", we say to ourselves.

We convince ourselves that we can ever understand the endless labyrinth of the Mashed Potatoes Samurai and that really frightens me. I'm a huge smash nerd, and I remember from 2012-2014 spending hours with other nerds on sites from Game FA Qs to Smash Boards trying to figure out the perfect Smash Roster, and yet every time Sakurai finds some new way to outsmart our expectations.

That post was fucking beautiful, mate.

I mean, I wouldn't say that. While Square has been going multiplatform in recent years, Final Fantasy XV was for a really long time associated with the PS 4 (and most trailers for it do wind up on Sony conferences), as was Kingdom Hearts 3 (and really the KH series still is if you consider the fact that it's still impossible to play the whole KH series on Xbox, while once 2.8 hits the whole series will be consolidated to PS 3 and PS 4, and maybe just PS 4 if Square ever gets around to moving 1.5 and 2.5 to the next gen.

It's just that Sakurai is a wily trickster god with abilities that surpass mortal law.

Just as well- Cloud's definitely only repping FFVII in Smash 4 and not the series as a whole, and he's only been in ensemble games on Nintendo platforms before, like the Theatrhythm games and the upcoming FF Explorers.

[up]82962 I don't mean in Smash Bros, I mean in general. We haven't had an unedited Panel de Pon game released internationally, ever, for no reason I can think of except sexism (Kirby is cute - and male. He wasn't edited. Yoshi is cute - and male. He wasn't edited. Lip is cute - and female. She was). Planet Puzzle League was butchered into that godawful techno skin and even had Lip's stage cut from the international release for no clear reason. We haven't had a new game in the series for almost 10 years now.

Kirby and Yoshi were able to use their pre-existing popularity to overcome executives' fears that Americans fear cuteness, unlike Lip.

[up][up]Again, my viewpoint on Panel de Pon is that if I'm not vocal about it, it'll just fade further into the background. I'd do anything to keep that from happening.

[up]The first Kirby game was completely unedited over here. That's my point.

There's music, a trophy, and an item from Panel De Pon, though. It's definitely not something they're trying to bury or hide.

Do you guys think Cloud was the one who was selected from the Ballot? That can't be possible though- I don't recall him leading in the polls

#82992: Nov 12th 2015 at 4:08:06 PM

They didn't mention anything about the ballot, so I think Sakurai handpicked him or something.

The fact that Cloud is getting into Super Smash Bros. before PSASBR gets a Final Fantasy rep at all is something strange and fantastical to imagine.

Except it's reality. Holy Shit, what a day... what an announcement...

I mean, the only ones who know the ballot for certain are Sakurai and his crew and they're never saying anything.

But Cloud definitely was gonna be a thing long before this.

Panel De Pon. Japan only.

Smash 4's description for it:

Trophy Description With this wand in hand, a simple flick of the wrist will sprout a flower from a character's head. If you keep on flicking, the flower grows larger. The bigger the flower, the more nutrients it craves, dealing more and more damage to the host. Shake it off by running around real fast!

[up]In the European version the trophy says "Tetris Attack (11/96)". It still doesn't mention anything about the games in any case.
