Well... Bayonetta won the smash poll in like basically every country except for the united states of america, meaning people expected Bayonetta to win, heck even USA had her in the top 5, and i have seen noticably less uproar compaired to snake being reveled, despite her... ok i am not going to explain but you all know what i am going to say. Snake, on the other hand, came out of literally nowhere and no one was ready for him, especially due to other characters in his series being in sony battle royale. So, yeah, snake had a bigger uproar and was more surprising.
