yes

... Yes XD

Just getting nostalgia before Ultimate

Yes

I guess so...

no. he did it BEFORE filming this :D

Development started like a couple months after smash 4 came out on the Wii U

That sounds so stressful. Sakurai is am angel

And he did.....

He actually began development on Ultimate after the _release_ of Smash Bros for Wii U. I can only imagine what was going through his head, making this final video for Smash 4, while behind the scenes, he was working on another Smash game. Sakurai is a legend.

amen brother

Sakurai is a legend. Sora deserved it whole heartedly. Sakurai deserves a break more than anyone

True legend

Among us

Sora was the true winner all along, I knew something was up

HMG I TheLucasSlayer Ikr true

Maybe that's why Bayo got youst like 1 or 2 nerfs

He actually had the games plan finished by his point. His planning went on for probably the entire cycle of 4s dlc cycle

He wasn't just planning on Ultimate at the time, he was already working on it.

And it's even funnier to think that the father of the newest fighter got in before his son, but only as a Mii costume (I'm talking about Kazuya)

In 2015, Mickey deadass said: *"How about N O?"*

@@blankets5782 Disney has a bigger reputation for not allowing anyone else to have anything to do with anything they have legal rights over and as such was probably not even something they could get within the small timeframe of Smash 4's final DLC Character. Nintendo has negotiate with Disney on how to include Sora in Smash in a way that's acceptable to the House of Mouse. It's probably why Donald, Goofy and any other Disney character that isn't originally from Kingdom Hearts doesn't appear anywhere and the Sora's Final Smash features a door with the Smash Logo instead of a Disney Logo. Bayonetta however, is a character already within Nintendo's sphere of influence and as such, nearly zero requirements or hardships to acquire the rights to include in Smash 4, apart from SEGA's small input. Since you know, Bayo 2 was exclusive to Nintendo as well as Bayo 3. Nintendo also has good relations with Platinum Games based upon Bayo 1 port, Bayo 2 and Bayo 3 exclusivity and Astral Chain being on Switch.

i only wonder about the complete results of the ballot, or at least the ten most voted in each region.

Bayonetta bettet be trolling in the trailer. she cant be that op.

sonicdoesfrontflips salty spaltoon confirmed

***** If that's the truth then I guess it's justified... but it's still disgusting IMO. She's now the most sexed up female in the game, and she's the ugliest, too. All the other female characters are either attractive or adorable like Jiggly. Bayo just looks like a nerdy lady in her 50's lol

***** Oh, it'll be up there... right up there with Villager's little jig, and Peaches "LALALALALA LA!!!"

sonicdoesfrontflips Kirby's HIIIIIIIIIIIII never forget

Sakurai: "Sorry guys, Smash is cancelled. You have been given false info by Yoshiaki." Fans AND Nintendo: *_b o y c o t t_*

No worries, dylanius aurelius. He just be Walter Beck in disguise.

What I appreciate that no one seems to acknowledge, is that enough people took the ballot seriously enough to request a legitimate video game character they really wanted, and that choice made it to the top, which was Sora. Sora’s originated from a video game, so that made him a possible contender. The biggest catch was he was owned by Square Enix and Disney. At least joke ballots like Shrek or Goku didn’t reach number one. That would’ve been a slap to the face for Sakurai, since those two are not video game related whatsoever.

@@ShadowLinkxMaster jeez, what’s with Smash fans and hating non game characters? People take that kind of thing WAY too seriously

​@@raider4341because Sakurai has made it clear that only characters that originated first in a videogame can join Smash. That's why Smash fans keep reminding people about this so they shouldn't request any movie, anime, cartoon characters since those won't be joining.

Of course not. There's probably hundreds of different entries.

+Dennis Fluttershy Releasing the list would cause too much controversy and there would be a huge fan backlash in regards to certain characters not being picked. For Sakurai's mental state, it's better for us to not see it.

Also notice he said realizable characters, that made me laugh cause we knew he saw your Shrek votes ( ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡°)

That was beautiful man :'-(

Corrin Wasn't Part Of The Ballot And Who Complained About There Being Too Many Pokemon? No One Did

Because, Pokemon are cool. We needed one Pokemon for each type. (fire, water, electric, etc) Corrin was put in simply for advertising, since it's been a while since a Fire Emblem game came out.

MeadowSin corrin is a unique character there's nothing wrong with him joining. Also smash is often used for advertising different games, it's nothing new

I'm not trying to look good, I just sympathize with Sakurai because he puts his heart and soul into these games and it angers me when people don't show proper respect that he deserves. And by the way you worded your comment it sounds like you're bad with people and Smash Bros. too.

Same!

Got my wish. Really happy about that.

And 0 throphies

Nah it was someone else

Youre not i love them

+Enrique Rico I'm still in shock we got DLC at all, given Sakurai's opinions toward it. And not just DLC, but freaking legendary third party characters like Ryu, Cloud, and Bayonetta, along with a bunch of other fan-favorite Nintendo characters.

I mean the characters we got are cool... But no one voted for corrin and no shovel knight or banjo kazooie

I am happy with it too. I love how Lucas, Mewtwo, and especially Roy were brought back into Smash. When the leaks last year showed Dr. Mario was back I hoped that dlc was possible to bring back some vets. I didn't expect Ryu or Cloud to be added and I love their additions. I preordered FE: Fates Special Edition and hope it is good as it will be my 1st FE game if I don't get Awakening by the time of it's release. As for Bayonetta? That is my 3rd favorite franchise. (Behind Xenoblade at 1. and Smash at 2.) People are salty, I kinda am at no Ice Climbers but in comparison to what they added, I think we got much more than what we deserved.

+Aaron Salinas are you me??? We have the EXACT top 3 franchises

Nintendo said that Bayonetta was overall #1 in the ballot. How is that ignoring the ballot?

+Mr. GameCrazy He's just mad his vote didn't win. That's all.

and stated realizable and negotiable characters.

+Mr. GameCrazy Uhh they lied? Cuz, you know, no one wanted her :3

+Mochi Rochi Thank you! I thought that I was the only one who felt this way. Why can't people just give love to Daddy Sakuari for just giving us this game in the first place instead of salting over a character which they don't need to buy.

They could release a new game in 5, 8 years and I wouldn't really care. They deserve a long, relaxing vacation.

SamHunter9 oh what if I say something crappy about shovel Knight :^) how would you feel about that huh?, and hao 2 eng. And bro you can't get what you always want

+SamHunter9 we can't always get what we want and while Corrin is another FE character, his character design and gameplay look and feel different, so I think he'll be fun to play as. Considering the amount of content that we did get with Smash, I think they did a great job. Plus we get Bayonetta. That's just amazing right there.

+RoboHoundGames People have't played bayonetta? I haven't. I grew up with devil may cry.

+xander trejo Yeah, poor choice to reveal another fire emblem character first I think. Really dehyped the rest of the trailer.

+David Mejia Jr. (Yellowturtle258) That first one about sums up my reaction as well. I'm really excited for Corrin, especially since his/her moves look so much fun, and they're fairly set apart from the already existing FE characters too. I couldn't really care less about Bayonetta...or even really Cloud I guess (though I'm pleased with him and enjoying him), just give me Corrin XD

+David Mejia Jr. (Yellowturtle258) I don't even play FE but love each character in Smash. Female Corrin is new waifu next to Pink Female Robin.

When i saw ryoma i almost had an overhype attack, i almost loosed it, and when i saw bayoneta i was like: meh it looks gud

Cristian Hernandez I was in the same boat as you until I got one of the Fire Emblem games and gave it a try, I used to just love the characters in Smash Bros. for their own sake. But now that I've actually played the Fire Emblem games and gotten into the series, I love them all even more now. You should give the Fire Emblem series a try sometime, in my personal opinion it's one of if not *the* best Nintendo series out there. The gameplay is fun and all of the characters are really awesome. Definitely something I'd very highly recommend. The best games to start out on would probably be either Awakening (where Robin and Lucina are from) or Fates (where Corrin comes from).

Absol Gamez Haha, same here. I'm going to get Bayoneta anyways, since she looks like she'll be fun to play as and a nice challenge to try and learn play....but overall I don't really care too much about her character or her being in Smash.....I'm *WAY* more excited for Corrin :D

I will admit, I couldn't stop laughing either. It was funny! I would have done the same thing though

I laughed too.

Well, Sakurai said in his channel that he made Spirits due to a lot of budget it would make for trophies, so they used Spirits as Trophies. So yeah, Spirits are Trophies.

Then went on to make a whole new game, bring Sora, Banjo Kazooie, K Rool, and others right after this?? This man is a legend.

obviously right, she was 1st in europe and top 5 in america but probably not in the top 10 in japan but like the rest it must have been too expensive to be in the game or it wasn't a game character sakurai chose her(bayonetta is too one of his favorite characters)

+ZeroKami86 Rated T for Teen...

Bayonetta 2 is rated M for Blood & Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Strong Language, and Suggestive Themes. Sorry, but curves and cleavage don't change a T rating to an M rating.

ZeroKami86 I rest my case... and you're right.

+ZeroKami86 She isn't that censored though. She has slightly more hair(clothes) than normal on the summonings but nontheless, her voice, moves, and even taunts are the same. Nothing much changed. It's almost like an update version of the Anarchy reigns iteration of Bayonetta.

She really isn't that censored aside from the blood & gore, her pants showing less skin on the back, & slightly more hair for Wicked Weaves. (Plus, they zoomed in on her body in the trailer.)

The chocobo costume...that's awful..
