Super Smash Bros.

Not only a pleasant surprise, but it also adds speculation fuel to the idea that other FF characters might eventually make an appearance.

Nintendo doesn't have Dissidia, after all.

Way I see it even if your not hype on Cloud or FF7 in general should be happy about the potential it represents. Door is open to basically everyone now.

True, but with the poll vote I felt that would be the final character when revealed... I hope not though.

[Ayn]

Nintendo getting the last laugh.

FF7 was going to appear on N64, but then got picked up for PSX, right?

Now, as Sony attempts to make Playstation Battle Royale II

Cloud's like

"I'm gonna be over here."

The Prodigal son returns.

[Ratatapa]

I doubt geno will appear, as time pass less and less people,know who geno is

[Kaslo]

Just make a new Super Mario RPG with Square, maybe make Geno have a huge role in it.

After all star's failure doubt Sony is making anything.

Wonder if Linkle may come since the announcement in Hyrule Warriors. Still want me some Ghirahim/Toon Ganondorf though @_@

Gawd, that name. Who had the brain seizure in Nintendo marketing? On the other hand, dual crossbows reminds me of that Zelda crossbow game.

Smash 4 has no char bans in tourney minus mii fighters

Sorry, let me make this clearer.

Every asset relating to the character, outside of the actual character, has a chance of being banned from use or muted in production. This means stages, series music, victory themes, etc.

This has happened to Ness and Sonic.

[Kirin]

I'm in the dark here. What parts of Ness and Sonic are banned from tournament play outside of stages?

Everything except the characters themselves, and this is only at the largely visible tournaments. Think Apex or EVO. The ones where they're able to cut deals with Nintendo.

It's fine smash is not a real fighting game anyway

I am a bit confused still. Omega stage versions aren't allowed? And what do you mean that the music/victory themes are banned?

Depends on the tournament. I know Apex and EVO's rules state that Omega stages are banned outright, or list the starting stages for striking.

As for music and victory themes, music is the obvious one. You just don't let them pick it. Victory themes means cutting the game from the stream mix and possibly the house mix at the victory screen. Depends on what Nintendo specifies.

Kinda what I'm getting at

Omegas being banned are standard in a lot of venues. Not as much for the music and such, but because omega stages have diff properties than the actual final destination. Omega lylat still has janky edges. Some stages are solid underneath, so chars like villager can't go from one side to the other from under the stage. Some stages have diff ground textures (like the grass in the sonic stage). Some allow for wall jumps and other omegas don't, etc.

Only smaller venues allow omega and it has to be gentleman's (aka both players have to agree to it)
