Here you go, Bayonetta in Smash. Enjoy.

 

[Kensho]

Guys, you want a character in Smash Bros that isn't even in a Nintendo console game, and her only game was in other consoles only a few years ago.

Literally no. Even if she was kid friendly, how would you put her in?

Shulk is already as young a character can get into this, NINTENDO ALL STARS ONLY!

PD: Even when you get past this, you can't adapt bayo into smash because literally all her weapons and skills are censurable.

 

[Josephl64]

Speed is too fast Danger Zone again!

That would be amazing. Especially if the platform is just flat with a few platforms maybe above it in a unique pattern, and then it just let's you fight.

We need more Smashville-like stages.

The people who want her say that she'll be toned down... which kinda ruins bayonetta.

It's like making bowser cute and cuddly. Not representative of his actual games.

Bowser is kind of cute in the Paper Mario series after the first one...him trying so hard and all

 

[Fiktion]

How is her rights situation more "weird" than Sonic? If Sega okay'd Sonic, I don't see why they wouldn't okay Bayonetta.

The problem isn't on Sega's side. I just don't see Nintendo/Sakurai putting in a relatively low profile, niche, third party character if they don't control all the rights going forward.

A skin for ZSS would work well enough, though I'm not expecting it.

heck Senran Kagura has more games on 3DS and debuted on it...well you know where I'm going with this

 

[MrSaturn99]

bayonetta will never be playable

Spoiler

although that would be pretty awesome

You can't understand why Nintendo might want to put the main character of a game they are financing in the public spotlight?

I'm not saying it will happen, but putting her in Smash, from Nintendo's financial perspective, is significantly less crazy than financing Bayonetta 2, which will almost assuredly be a money sink.

Here you go, Bayonetta in Smash. Enjoy.

what moveset can i summon demons with her hair????

this is important

 

[Neoxon]

How is her rights situation more "weird" than Sonic? If Sega okay'd Sonic, I don't see why they wouldn't okay Bayonetta.

That said, I'm not really expecting her to be in. It's fun as hell to think about her getting Climax Mode as her Final Smash, though.


How can you not notice that Bowser has become progressively more cute and cuddly over time?

That's the problem, Sega already has Sonic in the game.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Remember when [insert character here] was supposed to be announced in/on [insert game-specific Direct/game release/franchise anniversary here]?

Spoiler

lol

Fixed.

 

[PadWarrior]

Huge improvement

But that's exactly what they did.

Eh, not what I mean. I mean like... making bowser a nice dude, an upstanding chap, a gentleman. Something wholly uncharacteristic. Maybe bowser is a bad example, but it was the first thing off the top of my head. He still breathes fire, he still slashes with claws, he still has spikes on his back. He's still a 'monster.'

Yep, Fighter or Gunner will suit her.

end of Sunshine?

(I'm giving you a hard time, I know what you mean)

At the very least, she's gonna be my primary Gunner Mii, so she's got that going for her.

And she might not effect the ratings if she's early-but-also-not-Day-1 DLC like Lucas supposedly is. Just saying.

... Dammit, I boarded the hype train by accident again didn't I?

DLC released that early would have to be made known to the ESRB.

I find something oddly amusing about the idea of Nintendo suddenly turning Bowser into an upstanding gentleman despite changing absolutely nothing about his appearance as a spiky fire-breathing turtle dragon.

Good Guy Bowser

 

[SuperSah]

Is it just me or are the Mii Fighter move sets pretty awesome?

 

[cmChimera]

If Bayonetta 2 does well enough, we could see Bayonetta in the next Smash game. She won't be in this one, as awesome as that would be.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

So what happens if the current leaked roster is the final one (which is very likely) and Sakurai announces there'll be no character DLC?

 

[Kensho]

Europe only right now.

I'm gonna get this one, but I don't like it being pre-installed and no physical copy

 

[PokéKong]

Reminder that they didn't even show Ganondorf in SSB in the hyrule direct. Although they don't have reveal trailers for returning characters anyway. They did fit in barely related Shulk reveal in a 3DS focused direct, so maybe at least show a W101 Assist?

 

[Mr. Smiley]

It's pretty much the reason why I actually started making Miis. All of them look fun especially Mii Gunner. It really is a shame you can't take them with randoms online.

 

[Varjet]

Guys, you want a character in Smash Bros that isn't even in a Nintendo console game, and her only game was in other consoles only a few years ago.

She's in TW101.

Shulk is already as young a character can get into this, NINTENDO ALL STARS ONLY!

lol Ice Climbers
lol Roy

 

[Fiktion]

You can't understand why Nintendo might want to put the main character of a game they are financing in the public spotlight?

No, not unless they're sure that any Bayonetta 3 will be on WiiU.

Why grace someone else's IP with a Smash roster slot if it might never return to your platform again? Look at Snake. He even had a 3DS game and that wasn't enough.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I wish NOA would just tell us if we're getting a unique Smash XL or not already. I need to know if I can buy an XL today or if I'll be screwed next month if I do! Backwards ass company...

 

[SmithnCo]

They are, especially Brawler

 

[Kensho]

We'll cry, and play and enjoy, but cry too.

 

[IntelliHeath]

This next week of PotD have gotta be interesting.

Last week till release, well, in Japan.

Definitely. It's kinda hard to believe that we are getting close to release date.

8 more days until we know the roster of 3DS
6 more POTD before game being out in Japan

28 more days until most of us getting the games

 

[Josephl64]

I want to know if there's an LE Wii U

 

[PadWarrior]

So what happens if the current leaked roster is the final one (which is very likely) and Sakurai announces there'll be no character DLC?

I'll be fine

 

[georly]

Nah we'll get nothing. Same as hyrule warriors, same as every game-specific direct since smash bros was announced. All smash bros trailers have been in nintendo 'general' directs (though not all of them).

Not saying they can't break the trend. Before shulk, all smash bros trailers were from international directs.

I want to know if there's an LE Wii U

Dunno about LE, but i'm sure they'll do a pack-in console. Maybe not at launch, but hopefully. It's the same as mario kart. A lot of people have been holding out on getting a Wii U until smash. It'd be silly not to sweeten the deal and potentially attract people on the fence.

 

[Kensho]

She's in TW101.


lol Ice Climbers
lol Roy

? Ice Climbers was a Nes classic, Roy was the clone second rep of an already existing and loved Nintendo franchise. I don't see the relation.

Wait for the impending "Sakurai just doesn't get it" threads part 2.

6 more POTD before game being out in Japan

1) We sort of already know the full roster, if the leak was complete at the time.

There's a lot of secret characters too, DHG, Bowser Jr, Dark Pit etc. I wonder how they're all unlocked?

2) 28 days ;_;

Hey guys, an idea. In October, 3DS is getting the custom menu update, reckon Smash 3DS will come with one to use?

I was hoping for a Fatal Frame one and now this. If there isn't I might have to get the pack-in if it appears and maybe sell it later on if FE gets an LE Wii U.

Looks like genderbent Harry Potter.

This is exactly what people were saying about Wonder Red a year ago.

Oh, so you just have a very, uh, flexible definition of the term "all stars".

Pad just doesn't get it, smh.

*Whew* Thanks for saving me, Chris Pratt's disembodied head.

But still surprised she's not even a 3rd party trophy ala Rayman. If they had to display a floating nose due to mucus jokes, you'd think Bayo'd be raunchy enough for a clip there, especially over Pauline.

 

[PadWarrior]

Pad just doesn't get it, smh.

Lol

It's pretty simple really.
