MUH.

Thank you Samurai. Maybe being in Smash will get more people into her series - like what happened with Earthbound. The Bayo series could really use some extra love.

Believe me, I'm no fan of Corrin, Cloud, or Bayonetta (and also never touched their games); but I wouldn't complain about anything of this game for the world.
Sakurai managed to create one of the biggest games ever with heaps of content that some never knew was possible. I really don't care much about if a character is ranked high in the tier lists or is a fan favorite, I really am glad to be able to play such a game that allows me to have those moments where I'll laugh or celebrate with my friends or with competition. I seriously am grateful to be a fan and owner of the games in the series.
Thanks a lot, Sakurai, you've made a lot of people happy in this wild ride. And, boy, you deserve one heck of a vacation.

Man, I was just saying yesterday that I thought Smash needed more obscure Fire Emblem characters. /s

Honestly, it seems that at this point Smash is more about marketing new games than it is about being its own fun game. What used to be full of wacky zany characters is now full of realistic(ish) looking humanoids. It's not my cup of tea, but I can see why people enjoy it.

Yeah, I haven't played either of the games in months, they're bastards to do when you don't play regularly. My last time playing, I tried doing Pure Platinums in Normal or hard mode on the first game.

 

[Kikirini]

I'm a huge Fire Emblem fan, so... I'm happy Corrin's coming as DLC.

ALSO YES BAYONETTA THAT IS SO AWESOME.

This is what I said before. Totally agree

 

[Deboog]

I'm really happy about the Geno costumes. I mean, Bayonetta is nice and all, and I'm sure lots of people wanted her, but Geno is the OG cult favorite. It's so cool that the community put so much effort toward Geno in smash for a whole decade now, and finally Nintendo works out a deal with Square Enix to get our beloved doll a swan song.

 

[Deleted User]

God forbid the most voted character wasn't from a wii-u exclusive modern game. Why not a more obscure character?

Also. Fire. Fucking. Emblem. Jesus Christ might as well call it fire emblem duels

It's all just for advertising sake for "fates" BTW that corrin reach is OP as a motherfuck

It's Smash Brothers jesus christ, why do you have to be so hipster over a such a mainstream game? Bayonetta is a great addition I couldn't have asked for more, she is a great character and she looks really fun to play as.

And again its Smash Brothers its going to have a lot of Nintendo characters so why wouldn't they want to advertise the main character of their upcoming game? It's not a fan project is a Video Game made by a business.

Fire Emblem buddies!

 

[MsMidnight]

Sakurai knows we need FUCKING CHROM

 

[BurningDesire]

I have been playing cloud since release. I honestly think he is my new main.

 

[Bimmel]

Clouds plays pretty cool. Love it.

And I did not even pirate. I just updated and he was there, along with his awesome stage.

Slightly off topic. But, how does one with a CIA version update? Do you know? I mean, I'll buy the dlc, but, I can't update

Hi Ruby,

for that I need to know your possibilities. What are you using? CFW? Gateway? Sky? Can you access the eshop?

In general I would say get the update as a .cia and install it.

 

[Ruby Gloom]

GW on latest FW. I can't find the update anywhere lol I'm trying

 

[Bimmel]

Finding the updates can be a little tricky.

Search simply for "smash". It should be on the third site. Ignore the videos and scroll until you find it. Don't give up. ;-)

 

[Ruby Gloom]

I'll try. Thanks man/girl. ( I'm on Tapatalk I can't view gender. ) xD

 

[Ruby Gloom]

No luck. Perhaps my region alters search results? I just moved here and I don't know what I'm doing in regards to the websites being in a whole new language

third...?....I've been looking for about 3 hours and....maybe a better hint? .-.

I'm on N3DS so I can't update to the official eshop version...
EDIT: found it: D

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

There's so much wonderful DLC content and yet you know what's the problem? It's all split up! Would it have been too much to ask for Nintendo to sell the DLC as a "Season Pass" content?
