How was Smash able to snag Cloud and Seph, but Tekken has to settle for Noctis and fucking Clive? Embarrassing.

Smash had wider appeal.

Didn't Tekken chose those characters? Are you telling me if Tekken wanted to add Cloud or Sephiroth, SE would have told them no?

Nintendo has the money to afford the rights for FF7 characters. Noctis and Clive were probably cheap as shit

Nintendo is extremely frugal with their game developments.

Nobody knows why Smash has Hero in it.

Harada and Murray actually WANTED those two. The Clive deal was done before FF16's release where apparently everyone involved thought both the game and Clive as a character would be a smash hit with audiences.

Total. Fucking. Retards.
