In a lot of ways, Dissidia is very important in at least codifying a lot of FF characters' styles, especially in the ultra-exaggerated-action format SE uses about half the time.

It's hard not to love what they did with Garland.

I'm assuming you meant to say "Exdeath".

So many people seem to believe that Cloud is the ballot character... sigh.

More like Street Fighter and Final Fantasy have overall lost relevance to Nintendo since SF 2 and FFVI. That is what I was saying originally.

@83095: Ryu's side smash is from SFIII, and his hold-the-button-for-different-lengths-for-light/heavy mechanic dates back to SFI. (Specifically, two-button cabinets.)

It's not surprising that people think the character announced after the ballot ended is, indeed, the ballot character. Maybe Nintendo should have put up a loud "Not the ballot fighter!" warning.

No, Exdeath was always a ridiculous badass, it's just that it took 'til Dissidia for most people to realize it. Garland was a jobber of a first boss in the first game until the plot twist that happened right at the end and couldn't be developed much by virtue of the technology limitations of the time, and Dissidia turned him into a mad Blood Knight packing a wacky/awesome transforming BFS.

So, Cloud. That's cool, I guess.

Gotta go read up on my FF knowledge now.

Maybe Nintendo should have put up a loud "Not the ballot fighter!" warning.

Last thing Nintendo should be doing is hard-setting any expectations. Like, for example, that there's only going to be one character taken from the ballot.

Yeah, Final Fantasy V was really underappreciated until recently.

I was actually hoping for Sora to be the Squenix rep. There's been multiple KH games for Nintendo handhelds, and besides he's by nature more amenable to crossovers than Cloud.

Oh yeah, Cloud being in means trophies. Which probably means Aerith and Sephiroth will be two of them, and possibly Tifa, Barret, Zack, and Cid if they include more than a couple.

Sora would be a Disney rep, not Square. And Disney has someone slightly bigger than Sora if it came down to it.

Well, we still have a major Smash broadcast in December, so ballot fiends may want to wait for that one.

Also that Game FA Qs thread is just amazing.

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.

Truer words have never been spoken.

So what was the list of characters introduced in Smash 4 that were not leaked?

Robin, Rosalina, and Lucina I think. That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

Edit: I just remembered that Villager, Megaman, and Wii Fit Trainer weren't leaked either.

That would be because they were announced at the reveal.

The fact that the game itself was not leaked is kind of surprising, come to think of it. Maybe it's because we knew it existed, so no one was looking into it.

Villager, Mega Man, and WFT were all posted by Sal, remember? Of course no one knew about their veracity back then, and even if you knew about it you'd think it was a fun joke.

So, Cloud has Blade Beam, Climhazzard, Cross Slash, and maybe Finishng Touch as specials.

Probably Limit Break as a unique mechanic, and Omnislash as a Final Smash.

And his magic-casting pose as a taunt.
