Persona is not Final Fantasy and Joker is not Cloud.

 

Final Fantasy is one of the biggest videogame franchises ever. And its history is linked to Nintendo. Cloud is the most famous character in the franchise, so even if FF VII has not been in a Nintendo platform before, its inclusion in Smash makes sense.

 

Persona is not nearly as popular or iconic as Final Fantasy. Also, it hast little to no links to Nintendo. And Joker is not close to being the gaming icon that Cloud is.

 

So, Joker being in Smash doesn't make any sense as things are right now, while Cloud being in Smash 4 is totally understandable. If Joker is coming to Smash, Persona is coming to Switch. It's the only logical reasoning behind Joker's inclusion.

Well, Cloud was in 5 games on Nintendo systems before Switch came out and Persona Q2 3ds have Joker as one of main characters. Smash rule for 3rd party character: appear at least one time on Nintendo platforms

Really? You think Cloud got in because of theatrhythm and Final Fantasy Explorers? Are you really going to go that way just to avoid admiting he and Final Fantasy being a huge gaming icon and FF being borned and having half of its mainline games on Nintendo were the actual reasons for it? Ok, keep it up dude...

And for you and everyone else throwing the Persona Q argument: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. A niche JRPG that has never had any links with Nintendo suddenly has a character in Smash Bros. because of a spin off most people (even Persona fans) didn't even remember it existed? Yeah, that's totally it. You solved the case, Columbo...
