I’ve never felt so much like it was 2014 again then after that direct, if anyone remembers 2014 when Smash was coming out we had characters getting announced every month or so and it was a legitimate secret of who was getting announced there wasn’t any leaks (aside from Duck Hunt, Dr.Mario, Bowser Jr. and Ness) It felt so good not knowing who was gonna be in Smash. Now we gotta wait another month for DLC announcements aka the last Smash bros presentation ever.
Now how did Cloud get in Smash? “Sakarai Magic” is what’s being said. Of course Cloud Strife comes from Final Fantasy VII and to be completely honest I’ve never played it but I will be able to get my chance next year with the remake which I’m equally as excited for. I really hope Smash brings the Final Fantasy series to a mainstream western audience sort of like Ness in melee introduced Earthbound to almost everyone who was not born at that time. It’s really interesting how smash is going through with DLC.
