Nintendo’s fighting game is finally getting the coolest character ever.
Bayonetta is joining the roster of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. The umbra witch, who is the star of her own series of character action games, will now get to beat the crap out of Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Cloud from Final Fantasy VII … it’s about time. Just like in Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, which was the best Wii U game released in 2014, the statuesque hero can summon demons from another dimension with her hair or she can kick and punch you with any one of her four guns. That’s right, four guns — one for each limb.
If Bayonetta doesn’t seem like the typical kind of character for Super Smash Bros., you haven’t been paying attention. This game now has one of the most insane rosters of all time. That includes the aforementioned Mario, Sonic, and Cloud — but you can also fight as Mega Man and the dog from Duck Hunt. It’s incredible that this game even exists, and Bayonetta is the final, wonderful cherry on top of a weird-as-hell cake.
Smash isn’t just getting Bayonetta. With the new character will also come a matching stage, music, and trophies.
Of course, this means we’ll get a Bayonetta Amiibo. But who cares? All I need is a million GIFs of Bayonetta beating the hair off of Cloud.
