The ridiculously popular Super Smash Bros for Wii U has welcomed Final Fantasy VII’s Cloud Strife into its roster of smashers in an event that few were expecting, no doubt generating a massive influx of both joyous celebration and incendiary repulsion alike.
Cloud’s introductory PV:
Cloud’s unforeseen introduction into the game has caused many to not improbably wonder if Square Enix allowed the collaboration solely to hype up Final Fantasy VII’s impending remake…
fitting, that such a shitty character would grace such a shitty game
It’s only a matter time until the Final Fantasy X Zelda Crossover.
I think it would be better if Link found himself in Cloud’s world
SEPHIROTH! ADD SEPHIROTH!
the title will have to change into super emo bros
smash bros has officially “jumped the shark”, if it hasnt already.
This is probably the front runner for “news that everyone assumed was a hoax.” It doesn’t make much sense. FF7 was pretty much THE killer app for the Playstation, so having Cloud in this celebration of Nintendo classics is even more ridiculous than Solid Snake was. Terra or Cecil would make more sense, and Crono would be amazing, but none of them are as popular, or are advertising on upcoming game, are they?
Slime or any Dragon Quest hero would make more sense, but this is more surprising. And Capcom has 2 characters soo why not both?
It makes total sense if you think about it. It’s Nintendo taking FF back, or at least in spirit anyway, with the first main FF character not to appear on a Nintendo system.
Gran Turismo would beg to differ.
