Writing this right before it starts. All I can say is that I AM HYPED!!!! EDIT: Ok the broadcast just finished, and all I can say is: WOW. Not going to spoil anything for those who missed the broadcast, because I encourage you to go watch it yourself. (Youtube and Twitch archive the broadcasts, so you'll find them there.) I can say with absolute certainty that this game will be one I'm playing for years to come.
Bayonetta? Whaaat? How did I forget to vote for her! I mean she's like... okay, Imma need like five, ten minutes. I'll be back. ... *whew* *ahem* Pretty psyched to see Geno, even if he is just as a Mii costume. I think now the only ones I really, really want to see added are GS Isaac, a MMX rep, and the return of Ice Climbers (Also, step aside ZS Samus, all weird fanboys who default to playing the secksiest lady character in every fighting game are going to have a new #1.)
I don't really like seeing Bayonetta in, but I don't have any complaints there. But.... another 3DS FE rep? ANOTHER? At least give us something from the Gameboy era, goddammit! Oh, wow, I just realized that I forgot about Roy. Carry on, then. Hyped about Cloud though, and I think some of these stages and costumes are pretty cool
Sadly Rayman wasn't announced... Bayonetta looks like a great addition to the roster though, I bet no one expected her. I'd probably be more excited about the FE protagonist if the game was out outside of Japan already, but they look cool anyway. Cloud I don't care so much about, a lot of people seem to be a fan of him however so good for them
As of writing this post, I have purchased and played with Cloud, and found him extremely powerful to play as but extremely annoying to go up against, even as Cloud. I've never played Bayonetta, but it looks like a good game, and she looks like a good addition to Smash. She also won the poll, which makes me wonder why there's so much salt about her on the interwebs. We get it, you didn't get Shrek, Goku or Banjo-Kazooie, get over it. The character I'm most excited about is Corrin, since I fell in love with the Fire Emblem series through Smash Bros., and having the ability to turn into a dragon at will seems really cool! Also, I'd like to point out that I wanted Corrin in Smash before it was cool.
