You're looking at the wrong Bandai Namco fighting game.

Not a Tekken fan to be honest.

Besides no one said you can't be in more then one crossover.

Look at Ryu. Dudes everywhere.

Jerry Seinfeld for smash
What is the deal with Echo fighters? I mean, they've been here the whole time, we just called them clones. But all of a sudden, everyone loves them! Makes me wish I could get away with something like that. New girlfriend comes in, and she sees me with another woman, she says "Jerry, are you cheating on me?" I say "of course not, dear! This is my Echo girlfriend!" She looks mad, and says "What's an Echo girlfriend, Jerry" and I says "Ask Sakurai!"

Question - how would Steve from Minecraft play in Smash.I kinda imagined he would be similar to Sackboy and maybe have the building element from Emmett from PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale

It's pretty obvious it'll be the 13th at this point, you don't need a nintendolife article for that

Lightning >>>>> Cloud

Cloud: A deconstruction on player characters and an analysis of how pretending to be someone else just leaves you weaker in the end.

Lightning: A character who decides she will kill the entire world so she can be trapped in ice for all time instead of turning into a zombie (the benefits here seem questionable at best) and then who does a complete 180 on this plan after an annoying 12 year old makes a terrible analog that isn't deep at all. After deciding not to kill the entire world, Lightning does nothing in the entire rest of the game.

You can easily tell when someone hasn't played a FF game yet still acts like they know the character.

If there's another SE rep, I hope it's not a FF rep. I don't think it will be simply because there are only 2 FF tracks in Smash Ultimate. You would think there would be more to represent a new character if there was one.

I've always wanted to talk about potential clones. Finally happy Sakurai pulled the Echo Fighters thing so I can without the ridiculous "slot" complaints.

Imagine being so tasteless that you think Lightning would be a good addition to Smash.
I mean, we are in a world where Cloud is in. I'm just giving Sakurai a million dollar idea to patch him out. :"(

Right? Someone who played Zelda games would never think Skull Kid would be in Smash... Since might as well put Midna or *laughs* Groose.

What's going on in here? Why are people talking about Lightning?

I feel like this is going to be a pretty dull Direct since stuff has already trickled out the last few days.

Am I the only one who thinks it's not coming? I'm not sure if they'll officially announce it's cancellation or not, but I am pretty sure they're beyond the point of airing it. At this point, they'd either have a 5 minute direct or they'd have to re-build it from the ground up with new information that they weren't planning on showing off just yet. Not to mention, parts of Japan are still in rubble so they may cancel it outright out of respect for the victims and their families. I also don't expect an announcement today because some people would surely cry "hypocrite!" if they cancelled for the earthquake and then made an announcement on 9/11.

It just seems like we're at the point of no return at this point. It was Monday or nothing. Face it folks, the Direct is never coming. It's cancelled. I'm sure we'll get a Pokémon Direct and a Smash Direct later on (probably in November). But this general Nintendo Direct isn't czoning ever.

Noctis is basically just a Cloud clone who the writer realizes is cardboard every so often and has him crack a joke to compensate before going right back to being Cloud.

Are we even sure the Direct actually existed?
It's pretty much confirmed by insiders that it's on Thursday

I hope they don't waste too much time on Smash. It literally can't be anymore hype than it is now. Just play the newcomer trailer and that's it.

Really hoping for some SMTV news. Atlus pls

Nice troll attempt, but we already got a leak by a ' leaker' who has leaked the previous couple of direct dates that it'll be this thursday.

I'm gonna need to ask for a source on that. Mainly on them hating Noctis. I know Lightning is popular but I've heard nothing about them hating Noctis.
It's like one Famitsu poll that Lightning fans love talking about over and over

edit: There's no real source on Japan hating Noctis other than FFXV selling like 200K less than XIII

So after one day, no Direct news. Time to reset the clock or call it a day. If nothing by tomorrow or Thursday the latest, nintendo should scrap the Direct until Holiday season.
