Because why not?

Description

I've been following the Smash Bros hype pretty closely because I am slightly obsessed (not that anyone should be surprised).  Heck, it's not even the first Rain/Smash crossover I considered (see also Rainalina and Zero Suit Ana ;P).  It's probably a bit late for me to be doing something like this, since the full roster is known now.  Still, I happened to be drawing while listening to the Nintendo Treehouse thing (not even up to Smash yet), and this suddenly popped into my head and I'm like, "Oh, what the hell?  Why not?"

Originally, I was going to draw her as just a Mii Fighter, but then I remembered the Mii I used in the comic can't be done.  There is no hairstyle that covers one eye, so any Rain Miis would be sadly kind of an accurate.  I might still draw it for the hell of it, but it couldn't technically be done in-game (but while I haven't tried other characters from the comic, I imagine most of the rest of the cast could be made).

The design seen here is based on one of Rain's costumes from the original fantasy version of the story.  Obviously, the current Rain probably couldn't fight with a sword (much less the way the old one did.  Hint: the sheath is also a weapon).  It makes me feel a little nostalgic seeing her like this again.  The quality is a little iffy here, but whatevs.  It's just a little throwaway thing I did because I could.  Still, I hope you like it.

Since this pic might draw in some players who have no idea who Rain is, I should probably throw a link here so you can learn if you're interested.

I wonder if Rain Flaherty is a reference from Cloud Strife, who somehow happened to enter Smash with the phrase, "Cloud Storms Into Battle!"" Also, is Rain like Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII?
