Didn't see one of these yet. So I'm making one.
I'm sure we can be more civil than the GFaqs board!

You know...
I love how Cloud plays. He is amazing, and perhaps my new main. Regarding the rest of the direct though....
Corrin was an extremely "eh" moment for me. I really like Fire Emblem, but to think of having another FE representative... It was sort of disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I love the way he looks to play, and his unique stature and moves.... It just doesn't really have an effect on me, you know.
Bayonetta came completely out of left field. I think she deserves it though. They remained very faithful to her character, and I am very pleased of that. She looks to be very unique, fun, and she kicks ass. I can't wait to get my hands on her.
I am sort of lukewarm overall on the direct though. It wasn't very hype... However, they were nice surprises, even though I wanted other characters. I wish we would have gotten a Zelda character, or DK character, or some other cool first party characters, But Bayonetta is really awesome, and I am glad to see her in.
I think people are being very entitled though. These characters don't change the fact of the other 55 characters that are in the roster. They don't diminish the game in any way. They are merely extra, for their really passionate fans. I fail to see why people don't understand this.

Never was the biggest fan of the series. The only time it's fun is during local multiplayer play. Still happy to see these new characters get the spotlight, though!

My thoughts: Before direct: "I'm gonna go in without expectations so I'll be positively surprised. The ballot winner is gonna be the only character they'll show besides Cloud. And it'll probably be Shovel Knight or King K Rool, which is ok but not super cool. I'd want a new female fighter, like Elma or Bayonetta, but I'll settle for anything really." Corrin revealed: "Ooh, very cool! Not really a fire emblem fan, but his fighting style looks very interesting! They didn't say anything about the ballot either, which means we're getting another character! Yaaay!" Bayonetta revealed: "Hm? Pit is fighting while Palutena guides him? Wait, is this a Kid Icarus character? Hades!? Hades would be amazing! Strange though that he won the ballot... Wait what? A female voice... Medusa? Well, she was cool and all, but I wanted Hades... BAYONETTA!? Yeeeessss!!! Omg, amazing!" That's basically my reaction. Needless to say, I'm very happy.

Yeah, didn't see Corrin coming, and it's neat, but hard to get excited over when the games s/he's from don't even exist in the US yet.
I kind of expected Bayonetta would be the poll winner. I don't believe she actually got the most votes outside of Europe, but between the need to negotiate the appearance and royalties, and actually being able to develop an engaging moveset for the character, she was definitely gonna be a top contender.
Personally, I'm a little sad that this means Inklings won't be making an appearance in Smash 4... hopefully in Smash 5.

I don't like how the ballot didn't matter at all bayoneeta just seems like she was gonna get in anyway. Also she was 5th in the US and not even top 10 in Japan and only won the euro poll
