why not a final fantasy that was actually on a nintendo console
instead of the one that was in part defined as the first playstation final fantasy
I mean I know the reason why (cross promotion for the remake) but still, it just feels weird
I guess anything is possible for a character now.
Well, guess I'll watch the trailer and see if he looks any fun.
@Duff: next smash ballot
you know what to do

Yaaaay!
More friends for the party!
All we need now is sora, and the gang is alllll here!
We got Lo Z, Pokemon, fire emblem, mario, DK, Game and Watch, ROB, metroid, Wario, MOTHER, Kirby, Duck Hunt, Pac-Man, and now Final Fantasy!
Its a big party paloza!
I call Pac-Man! Pac-man is awesome!
All our wishes can come true@Jam: Well, that's possible too, but they could have used any Final Fantasy character for that couldn't they?
I mean, before today if you were to ask me to guess a Final Fantasy character to appear on smash it would have been Cecil, given IV's apparent popularity in Japan.
Having watched the trailer I do wish that Cloud had more non-sword moves (if only because I've been using him pretty much entirely as a magic nuke in my playthrough, and I feel it would have helped distinguish him from the Fire Emblem characters), but he looks fun enough to play, and the summon stage hazards are cool.
personally i feel like final fantasy and ssb is an understandable matchup, considering that FF had its start on the nintendo virtual consoles, along with... well, y'know
dissidia
i'm not too sure why they picked cloud ( excluding popularity ), considering that cloud had his start on the playstation rather than the nintendo's consoles. i would've been all up for cecil or onion knight or terra, but ah well.
i'm still shocked that this crossover came so sooner ( and unexpectedly! ), but there has been lots of hype for the ffvii remake and all that stuff.

GO AHEAD .... MR. JOEHSTUR .......if they had to pick any ff dudes
as a guy who has barely touched the franchise, cloud is the guy i think of when i think of ff
which is probably the same for many other people as well
and the remake too yeah, cloud is probably the most iconic one they could have picked at this time
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOImaniwantedtifa
eh, i'm still pretty excited. especially for the stage; IT HAD FRIGGIN RAMUH IN IT MAN!!
now it just makes me more interested as to who the rest of the dlc characters will be... although it will probably be very unexpected.

GO AHEAD .... MR. JOEHSTUR .......@Duff: Yeah, like I said above I can definitely understand it, and in retrospect it seems like a clear choice, it's just that I guess I'm just used to third parties being on Nintendo consoles anyway, and as far as I'm aware, Cloud's the first character whose never been on one.
also wait they released more zelda u footage
you're raising my hopes with that sentence
@Wig: Oh yeah, absolutely, the stages were Pretty Great.
@Smash reps: Shovel Knight just seems like such a telegraphed choice that I'll be a little disappointed if he's not a DLC character.
