Well it hasn't been said already, so I guess I'll say it first. Big spoiler inbound if you didn't see the Nintendo Direct.

K. I'm good.

Edit: Damn you ninja Shing.

I'm actually expecting Goku, Shrek, and Magnemite now. Very sad.

...

The main reasons I can see that anyone would be upset about Cloud are:

1. They just dislike Cloud as a character, which is an understandable reason to be upset if that's their opinion, but it doesn't decrease his legitimacy at all. We all have some characters in Smash that we dislike.

2. They think he's only in the game because he's overrated/fanboyed too much, which could potentially be true, but that's also Nintendo's job. They're trying to pick characters who will be the most popular, and Cloud obviously has a large fanbase.

3. They think he is the illegitimate/undeserving candidate chosen from the Sm4sh poll, which is most likely not the case. As many people have theorized, it's likely that Cloud was intended before the poll was even released. There's another announcement next month which may delve into the poll.

4. He's not Nintendo. Granted, I doubt many people have this as their reasoning, as there have been/are already non-Nintendo characters in Smash. This is nothing new.

5. They think there are other characters more deserving of the spot. This largely ties into #1 and #2. It comes down to personal opinion here, and in the end, popularity and notoriety will win out. Plus, as I've said, it's likely that Cloud has already been planned to have this spot for a while, so nothing would have changed that. I could name off a bunch of characters in Smash who I think are less-deserving than other characters who aren't, but then again, we all can.

Tldr; It's understandable if people are mad about this, but in the end, Nintendo just followed through with their logic. Overall, I think more people will be super hyped about this than upset, which is their end goal. Plus, this is a huge milestone for Smash. If they can get a character as famous and well-known as Cloud from a third-party title, pretty much anyone could be fair game from here on out. (Barring those of a few exceedingly stubborn companies)

I hate Cloud's inclusion because, other than Rhythm games and cameos in non-main series Kingdom Hearts games (Another series heavily associated with Playstion) his games have been Playstation games. No, not the entirety of the Final Fantasy series, obviously, but the only game Cloud was in.

I don't even like Star Fox, didn't like him in Brawl, and probably wouldn't buy him because he's a veteran, but I'd rather have had Wolf announced.

Judging by the video, it appears that Cloud will be a somewhat defensive character, with emphasis on mixups, who will transition to heavy offense when he Limit Breaks. His recovery doesn't look like it'll be very impressive outside of Limit Break, and his KO power looks like it also needs Limit Break to be a big threat. Cloud however seems to be great on defense with long range and projectiles to hold off until he's ready to flick the switch and go offensive.

Too early to say too much though, this is just speculation. We'll see when he comes out.

EDIT: The alternate costume is from Advent Children.

So limit break is gonna work similar to mac's ko punch build up or what?

He seems like a mix between Ike and Shulk for most of his moves.

He has a bit of a combo move that reminds me of the other FE characters' side B. Is that Zantetsuken or something else?

Dat Great Aether comparison though.

Was that a sonic slash? And that stage looks absolutely awesome. Did you notice the different music they played? =3

there's something off about the way they did his face and it keeps bothering me. disproportional maybe?

I might do a big "what is going on on in this trailer" thing when I get home. Aka, Game Xplain Mode.

Also no Mael. The move that slices the Midgar stage in half is Zantatsuken.

And Ryan, that defensive idea makes me think of how Cloud keeps his distance so he can reflect his back ground as a traditional JRPG character, kinda like Ness and Lucas do.
Stay tuned peoples! =]

Edit

I haven't done this in a while, and I am going to do it despite what you guys already know...

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

*AHEM*

overall you were just making mistakes across the entire board since you could have gotten much much more out of dthrow along with punishing the getups better.

This tech is rather interesting and hardest tech ever in sm4sh?

I tried to do shit in 3ds, but well it's hard af considering the timing and frame.

I saw this last night and want to try it with Mac later. This crap will not work online at all. Missing frames suck.

This is a pretty useful video of cloud.

Man, this gets me so hyped for Cloud. He's looking more and more like the main I've been looking for in this game. Meta-Knight's where I'm at so far, but as of yet, nobody's been that perfect fit for me.

Man. We'll riot for Cloud if we have to. Barge down the Nintendo headquarters for him, along with the people angry about not getting King K. Rool.

Speaking of that, why was K.Rool a supposedly popular choice? He's not really known, nor possesses any special traits like most of the other characters, except as a villain from one DK game.
