We were all a little shocked and surprised to see that Cloud from the Final Fantasy series is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. ThereÔÇÖs been a ton of amusing reaction videos posted onto YouTube, but what did the Japanese think to CloudÔÇÖs inclusion┬áto the diverse roster? Well, the Legends of Localisation browsed Twitter and 2Chan to find out what a small sample of Japanese consumers thought!
- Cloud doesnÔÇÖt match Nintendo, shoulda gone with Bartz, though I doubt heÔÇÖd be popular
- If theyÔÇÖre gonna put Cloud in there, I think they should really put in popular characters from Famicom and Super Famicom games that were pillars of those systems.
- Someone like Goemon, or Goemon, or Goemon
- Or maybe no kids these days know who Goemon is?
- IÔÇÖm SO happy the Advent Children outfit is in there
- ShouldÔÇÖve waited to put him in the next game
- CanÔÇÖt wait for the FF7 remake!
- At this point theyÔÇÖll throw anything into Smash
- Oh yeah, I NEED his amiibo
- They should just make Smash like LoL where itÔÇÖs free to play and you can pay to get more characters
- Snake!
- thatÔÇÖs all
- His up-smash seemed really weird
- Is this a hint that the FF7 remakeÔÇÖs gonna be on the Wii U too?
- Honestly, all I can think is, ÔÇ£So?ÔÇØ In the end, theyÔÇÖre just trying to extend the life of the game by adding characters afterward.
- Regardless of sales totals, if this is what we can expect from our games now, then the 3DS is done for.
- Is there something wrong with extending the life of a game? I donÔÇÖt see the problem in trying to let a game sell for a long time alongside new games that come and go.
- Cloud dressed up like a girl would be adorable
- So what?
- Sony fanboys gonna go crazy!!!
- Please, Square-Enix! Put Geno in too!
- Go back to PlayStation!
- CloudÔÇÖs been on Nintendo systems before:
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA)
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded (DS)
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (3DS)
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (3DS)
Final Fantasy Explorers (3DS)
- Cecil wouldÔÇÖve been better
- Looks like Link
- Why now?
- I loved FF7 so Im glad that Clouds going to be in the game. But I guess nobody else here feels that way
- If CloudÔÇÖs in, Tifa canÔÇÖt be far behind. Am I the only one who thinks that?
- IÔÇÖve honestly never played a single Final Fantasy game
- Way too many male characters. We need more female characters, itÔÇÖs getting way too unbalanced!
- Snake, Sonic, and Rockman were all on Nintendo systems at some point, so they make sense. But Cloud?
- Nintendo has finally broken its limit
- I suspected that they were going crazy with these new characters and yep, I was right!
- ItÔÇÖs not THAT surprising ÔÇô he was in two 3DS Theatrhythm games after all
- IÔÇÖm amazed this didnÔÇÖt get leaked first
- Between Pac-Man, Rockman, Sonic, Ryu, and Cloud, the gameÔÇÖs really gained an incredible ÔÇ£All-StarsÔÇØ aspect
- If theyÔÇÖre gonna add new characters, someone like Jibanyan or a squid wouldÔÇÖve been a more exciting choice, I think. But FF7 is REALLY popular with foreigners, so itÔÇÖs probably an attempt to appeal to them.
- Square-Enix must be hurting financially
- I think there are plenty of Wii U and 3DS gamers whoÔÇÖve played FF7 before.
- As a fan, I also love that the Advent Children outfit is an option. They really get it.
- SmashÔÇÖs popularity aside, IÔÇÖm sure there are people who will be glad that CloudÔÇÖs going to be in it.
- As always, the Internet filth of Japan gives a coldhearted response.
- You should at least accept that CloudÔÇÖs in the game mostly for foreign gamers. The fact heÔÇÖs in the game shows that your opinions mean almost nothing anyway.
- I wish theyd put FF7 and Saga Frontier on the Virtual Console but I guess thats never gonna happen
- He represents their betrayal of Nintendo though
- I opened the article, hoping to just take a quick peek but man, nothing beats FF7s music!
- The music and the sample footage got me pumped up! I canÔÇÖt wait to buy it now!
- Is Sephiroth in the works?
- I wonÔÇÖt play him if his controls are bad
- People still care about Cloud that much? HeÔÇÖs old news to me.
