Wait, you checked the SSF? Is it salvagable?

Cloud plays definitely fine, won a few For Glory battles with him even.

Funny that you mention that, I said the same thing: Also, I may be the first one to do that, but here are my predictions regarding the veterans of the roster in Smash 5: Will definitely return: *the original 12 [Smash 64] *Peach, Bowser, Falco, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf, Marth, Mr. Game & Watch [Melee] *Wario, Diddy Kong, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Lucario, Zero Suit Samus, Olimar, Pit, R.O.B., Sonic (due to Sega and Nintendo being best buddies) [Brawl] *Rosalina & Luma, Corrin, Wii Fit Trainer, Shulk, Little Mac, Villager, Duck Hunt, Greninja, Palutena (Sakurai's waifu), Dark Pit (Sakurai's OC Donut Steal) [Smash 4] High chance of returning (because Sakurai hates to scrap characters): *Mewtwo (due to high DLC sucess), Roy (due to high DLC sucess), Ice Climbers (because they were only scrapped due to 3DS limitations), Dr. Mario [Melee] *Lucas (due to high DLC sucess), Wolf (due to Starfox Zero), Ike, Toon Link, Charizard [Brawl] *Robin, Bayonetta (due to Sega and Nintendo being best buddies), Pac-Man, MegaMan, Ryu (Nintendo, Namco and Capcom being friends seems to be pretty safe) [Smash 4] Unlikely to return: *Young Link, Pichu [Melee] *Squirtle, Ivysaur [Brawl] *Bowser Jr. (he was added very last to the roster, even after Lucina and Dark Pit), Lucina, Cloud (Nintendo's friendship with Square-Enix isn't stable enough just yet) [Smash 4] Will definitely not return: *Snake (FucKonami) [Brawl] I did all the predictions based on Sakurai's past behaviour (not liking to scrap characters, seeing fan followings for certain characters, etc.), but even then there is no guarantee. But if that really ends up being true for Smash 5, then I'll just let you know that I predicted it correctly...

Thank you very much.

Played as Cloud on Miiverse yesterday. Left behind a little "present". Try to find it. ;)

I think making sure that the Basketball transformation is as compatible as possible is the bigger priority. What about characters that don't have sprites for the basketball transformation? What if someone wants to include basketball transformation sprites in his own character? What if a character uses the animation number for the basketball transformation for something else (like Quilty Gear staggering or Midnight Bliss)? That all needs to be considered.

Well, Smash IS better than PASBR, and everyone should know that!

Actually, I think we should wait until February 2016. Mainly because of this: I know it's pretty unlikely, but Sakurai is always known as someone who surprises people, so who knows, maybe February will indeed have a surprise announcement. That why I think we should wait until we are 100% sure that this is indeed the end.

The only move taken from Fox is the Reflector and the Land Master. Everything else is original.

Uhm...dude, Wolf is not a clone.

Except they wont, because it's the end. What I do hope is that at the February Nintendo Direct, there comes the surprise anouncement that Corrin and Bayonetta/Umbra Clock Tower where finished faster than expected and thus gave Sakurai and the SM4SH developers at Sora Ltd. enough time to sneak in one last veteran into the roster of playable characters. And the veteran is Wolf. For the same reason why Corrin is playable: pure advertisement. And I would be okay with that.

I will stop when Doomguy will stop. :3

I'm not jelly. I'm a skeleton. A skeleton that loves to eat spaghetti!

He never said that. He only said that he doesn't give a shit.

Yeah, I don't mind Corrin that much, but he should have been saved for Smash 5. Of course I would still download him and Bayonetta anyway. Regarding Cloud, I really enjoy playing as him and I also bought the Geno costume (for obvious reasons) and the Chocobo hat (because why not). What I don't like about Midgar, though, is not the stage itself, but rather the music: It only comes with Let The Battles Begin and Fight On. Yeah, literally only 2 songs, and none of them are remixes. What about One Winged Angel? What about JENOVA? What about at least remixes of Let The Battles Begin or Fight On to go with the original versions of the two songs? Why, Square Enix? WHY?!

There is no next time. At least not for him. Until the next Smash Bros game gets announced, K. Rool will be nothing but history at that point. And you know why? Because nobody wants to use him in a new Donkey Kong Country game anymore, and that's just sad.

Hey, screw you, I'm from Europe and I did NOT vote for Bayonetta. ...I...voted for Lip instead. Hey, don't judge me!

Uhm...wasn't Cloud supossed to be avaible right now? Because eShop doesn't want to update my Smash. Also, Nintendo's official Smash Bros site is not updated yet. What's going on? I'm worried right now.

It's over. 3 fighters instead of 4? Uh...not sure how to feel. They could have had Banjo&Kazooie fill in as the 4th spot... :( Oh well, the remaining stuff is awesome.

UMBRA CLOCK TOWER!

BAYONETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! CLASSIC BAYONETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

CORRIN WITH DRAGON TRANSFORMATION! YES! UNEXPECTED, BUT MAKES PERFECT SENSE! YOU SUMMON THE SUMMONS IN MIDGAR THROUGH MATERIA! AND THEY ARE IN THE 3DS VERSION, TOO! ALSO, GENO COSTOME FOR MII GUNNER!

SMASH DIRECT HYPE!

Would like to know who made that custom Marionette sprite and whenever there's more. Also: Still looking for that Lucario.

Well, new characters are (thankfully) not leaked before the presentation. That way, it at least keeps some of its surprise factor. Really, the only big surprise we would have gotten released today, if there would have been no data mining, wouldn't have been a new stage or a new trophy anyway, so it's really not a big surprise loss.
