[up][up]I'm dying at that GameFAQs thread[lol]
When things go horribly right there it's a spectacle to behold. I remember once a series of six different posters, from the OP on, managed to successfully complete a chain of "Who, What, When, Where, Why, How" uninterrupted and people collectively lost their shit at the achievement.

I just looked up the trailer, and all I could think about at the end...

Undertale confirmed for Wii U with an exclusive Masked Man encounter. That's it, we're going home!

The fact that there's already a petition to take Cloud out because he's an "Ike clone" makes me facepalm almost as hard as when I saw the Federation Force petition.

This thread, after the Cloud reveal.

Anyway, rather meh on Cloud. I don't follow Final Fantasy so I only know what I've absorbed via pop culture osmosis. I'll buy him, of course, because he looks fun to play as, but I'm more excited by the news that we're getting a Smash direct next month.

[up]The only one salty that I can remember off the top of my head was Midna, who has since calmed down.

Most of us on the negative side are just disappointed, confused, or both.

Yeah, I've honestly seen more positivity than saltiness. Now neogaf and the smash boards have both been pretty salty.

I was hoping for the Inklings being the character reveal, but I'm fine with Cloud despite the fact that I feel like FF 7 is kind of overrated. There's still the December Direct anyway.

Yes, that was posted earlier. Though the look on Max's face when he suddenly recognizes it as FFVII is amazing.

Honestly, even in the cynical sense, this should come across as more Crosses the Line Twice than anything else.

You know what? I give up on predictions beyond Wolf. I thought Cloud was the epitome of anti-Nintendo characters given what he represented, and yet here we are. I clearly can't figure this out, so I won't even bother.

I think Snake, Pac Man, and Ryu have proven that you don't really need to have a big relevance on Nintendo consoles to get into Smash. Really, only Sonic and Mega Man have relevance to Nintendo systems these days.

What FF tracks you think will be in Smash? I'm only hoping for One Winged Angel.

[up]Well, SFII was primarily on the SNES, and Pac Man was Miyamoto's direct inspiration...

Not trying to argue against you. Just playing devil's advocate a bit.

Master Chief hasn't touched a Nintendo system while the rest you listed have. He can still get in because we clearly don't understand Sakurai, but I doubt it.

[up][up][up]Battle!- VII and Strong Foe- VII are both already confirmed, and I'd be surprised if One Winged Angel and J-E-N-O-V-A don't make the cut. Electric de Chocobo also strikes me as likely.

If it were up to me, there'd be Clash on the Big Bridge, too, but I'm not entirely convinced Smash will acknowledge there were ever any FF games besides VII, like how the only things Ryu has that aren't from SFII are his Down Special and one of his Final Smashes.

You know, I kind of wish they went with "Omnislash Version 5/6" instead of the original one, just so we can get more of a visual difference from all the other Blade Spam Final Smashes there already are in Smash 4.

For those that don't know, Version 5/6 is from the Advent Children movie, where Cloud's alt costume is from. It basically involved him splitting his AC swordnote  and performing Omnislash using every sword.

I mean, it's still the same attack, but using multiple swords would at least look different. :b Especially since Cloud does dashing strikes instead of just frenzied slashes, at least in the movie.

As for music, I'm expecting mostly VII themes plus the FF Overture from the first game. I'm looking forward to the remixes though.

FF 1-6 were on nintendo consoles first, so there is history there... Though that does make it kind of funny that the "Iconic FF character" that gets in Smash is from the first game that DIDN'T get on a Nintendo system. But oh well. He probably is (one of) the most easily recognized characters for the franchise to non-FF fans.

I was going to suggest Giana as the ultimate anti-Nintendo character, until I remembered that at least two of her games have been released on Nintendo consoles. So, uh, nevermind.

I did notice that the Omnislash in this game looks VERY similar to the version used in Dissidia. Wonder if that was on purpose.

This song needs more love.
