So for you Nintendo gamers out there, you know that the final Smash Direct was today and it finished about a half hour ago.
For seemingly no reason whatsoever, I'm just going to jot down my thoughts on it here.  Feel free to discuss in the comments about it or whatever.

But hooo boy...  That was pretty underwhelming, honestly.

My first problem is Corrin.
...why is he here?  His game hasn't even come out yet in America, for Pete's sake.  And in addition to the fact that we already have 5 other Fire Emblem reps (Marth, Ike, Roy, Lucina, and Robin), his inclusion just isn't necessary.  No one even really knows who this guy is, either.  The only people who DO know who he is are people who have played Awakening and are looking forward to Fates, or Japanese players who have already played the games.  Because of just how obscure this character currently is, having him be part of the FINAL DLC for the game is a huge let down.  I think going with the first runner-up of the Ballot would've been a much better choice.  Then maybe more people would actually care.

Cloud's still awesome, so no problems there.

Despite me having NOT played FF7 yet (kinda just waiting for the remake at this point), I still got pretty hyped at his initial announcement.
Cause it's motherfucking Cloud Strife.  He was one of THE Smash characters people have wanted for so long that nobody thought COULD even get in.  Having him be there now is incredible.

Then there's the ballot winner....
Bayonetta.

Now, don't get me wrong here; she's a great choice and a very logical one at that.
Both of her games are on Wii U, with 2 being a system exclusive, and her games have a large following, so having her included in Smash makes total sense and I'm completely cool with that.

However, I personally haven't played the games.  I've only played the Bayonetta 2 demo last year which I found kind of fun.  So since I personally don't really have much connection with this character at all, having her be the "Big climactic" finale end-all DLC character... 
That's just pretty underwhelming to me.

I would've much preferred to have someone like Rayman or Shovel Knight, Shantae, 
BANJO & KAZOOIE
SAKURAI WHY YOU PLAY ME LIKE A FOOL?!!!

geh..

So in all, I found the new character reveals to be rather underwhelming.
Especially Corrin. 
Fuck you Corrin.  No one even knows who you are.  WHY ARE YOU HERE?

GIVE ME BANJO AND KAZOOIE SAKURAII GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



...you know it's a sad Smash Direct when you're more excited for the Mii fighter costumes than the actual new characters....
....Cloud's still cool, tho

would like to say that I agree with the Corrin thing. We don't need another fire emblem character and I would have much rather had another Sonic, Pokemon character or Wolf. I'm ok with Cloud and Bayonetta and my platoon will still play no matter what
