| Ultrashroomz said: So I was talking to a couple friends about this after today's Nintendo Direct, and I was wondering, does Cloud Strife deserve to be in Smash Bros?
Now first off, don't get me wrong, I am pretty excited that he is going to be a newcomer, and I am definitely planning to buy him day 1, but of all the newcomers Sakurai could've chosen to add, why was Cloud chosen of all characters? While Cloud has appeared in a good handful of games and spinoffs on Nintendo platforms, Cloud's origin game, Final Fantasy VII, never appeared on a Nintendo platform in any capacity. At least with Snake, the first MGS game was remade for the Gamecube, but FFVII was never rereleased on a Nintendo platform or anything. It should also be worth noting that Cloud doesn't seem to be the character from the Smash Ballot, as I don't know a single person who ever mentioned wanting Cloud in Smash, and when you think of the top candidates of the ballot, you usually think of King K Rool, Shovel Knight, and Inklings. So what do you think, did Cloud deserve to be in Smash at all? |
My first exposure to Snake and Metal Gear was on NES.
The game left a major impact on me, I even read the novelization I played it so much.
