"Lady Palutena, what are you doing?"
"Shhh! I'm channeling the oracle whispers for a divinative message."
"Oh, uh... might I ask what's so important that you need to consult them?"
"I seek a Chance and Want for how many more guidances I can give to you. I can't risk it with these new fighters appearing on my temple."
"We already have that weird hairless feline with the psychic powers.
"My old pal Lucas finally made it back from the brawl too!"
"Then's there's gossip about sighttings of two warriors with Rs in their names or some-"
"Hnnnngh! Hold on, Pit. There voices are making something out."
"..."
"
Chance... 45%."
"Ugh, those voices are so inscrutable. That score's just bordering on even! It's just got to be more likely. The precedent is CLEARLY there!"
"Our voice actors reprise our roles. So it would just be a matter of hiring them again to record more guidances."
"Voice actors have a gig deal. Nintendo requests to use their - excuse me, our voices - again. A studio serves as a handler to the voice actors. A recording is scheduled between all their projects and voila! New guidances!"
"You know, there's some thing that feels awfully off with all the new fighters lacking a guidance."
"No wait, lemme guess. Your glistening little girlfriend in the clouds will be holding your hand when you have to figure out all your opponents?"
"*gasp* Well excuse me for not wanting to risk getting my most precious angel killed!"
"That's was a choice term of endearment there! It's nature's way to adapt and survive!"
"Actually, I wanted to point out how awkward not having more guidances is. A big appeal of crossovers is seeing characters from different universes interacting with each other in all sorts of bizarre ways. It almost feels as if we're giving the new fighters a disservice when everyone else has them."
"...I see where you're coming from."
"Wow, Pit. With a sharp angle like that, I guess you aren't as dull as you come off!"
"U-Uh... I guess we all have depths that can never quite surface with our personalities, huh?"
"Ahahahahaha~"
"You two are so in denial!"
"Don't kid yourself, Viridi. He's not my type."
Curses! I could only gonna get so lucky if I had free wi-! Uh... yeah, I can see why that is, m-milady!
"There's something I thought I'd add to this."
"Wooooah! Hey-o, Pitto! I thought you were cooped up in Viridi's fortress."
"How many times must you call me that until I'll have you cram it up your cakehole!? Sweet freakin' Viridi!"
"Now what did I tell you about using my name in vain, huh!?"
"Nothing. All you did was smite me like I'm some dog who tinkled on your tapestries!"
"And I'll smite you again unless you cough up your opinion right here, right now! Or we can do this the hard way and have me tatter you into bits and toss 'em to my Clobblers!"
"Uhhhh... well, don't get so certain about getting more guidances so easily. We don't know if Sakurai has all the characters planned to do in one session or if he's adding them over time. It's one of those things that's too ambiguous to call."
"We know we're getting three for sure. Bump it up to five with Roy and Ryu. I guess they could just hold it off for the last update?"
"That or just commission a guidance at a time for every new fighter."
"Whud I tell ya? I tell you one thing and you spin it around into something else."
"Pssh! All is fair in speculation! And if
your inclusion is anything to suspect, we're dealing with one troll of a director here."
"You called?"
"Hades!"
"Woah there, lever down your stakes now. I didn't just intrude your little telepathic conference call just to derail your debate. You can take my word for it!"
"Like we'd trust you after the stunt you've pulled with the Underworld uprising!"
"No need for ad homenims, Pretty Palutena. I'm just a poor lonely god who gets the turn of the cheek whenever I go to the other contingents for something. Just take how
Super Smash Bros. turned out! Sakurai wouldn't pass up your's truly or that wretched roughspin of souls, Medusa, for a playable character. Besides Pitty, we get you and his angsty emo recolor of a clone!"
"Heeeey, can it!"
"Oh my, it would seem I've struck a cord! The fangirls of DeviantArt's will be in a tizzy over this! Yet my point still stands: the Underworld needs more reps!"
"How many times do I have to see that word being thrown around? Really, it's starting to hollow itself out."
"It just can't be! Pit totally blasted your body into annihilation and you can still barge in here?"
"What can I say? Anything can happen when you want to display me in a crossover. I didn't even ask to be resurrected."
"Anyways, I'm here to play devil's advocate on part of your precious little guidances. Now where do I begin?"
"Oh yeah, the whole voice actor debacle is more complicated than you've made it out to be.
Super Smash Bros. has been released in many languages. And because the
Kid Icarus crew is incapable of shutting their mouths, this means that we have to get voice actors from other languages to dub over the translated Japanese lines. This extends to guidances, which would make it much more of a chore than just getting Anthony del Rio and Ally Hillis on board again."
"Fine, I guess we'll just have to improvise for the other languages!"
"*ahem* Hoooh, Senorita Palutena, muchos grandos. Uh... el chorizo burrito con queso?"
"...Never do that again."
"That phony Spanish accent's gonna haunt my dreams!"
"If Pitstain's soft racism can't even surmount that, consider the dev cost of rehiring the voice actors combined with complimenting this Easter Egg features that only works on ONE FREAKIN' STAGE!"
"So? They can just play as Pit and trigger the guidance inside the stage. It's an appeal that brings them to my beautiful palace."
"And it only works for one character on the default version of one stage. This one cosmetic feature just won't attract them very much over the other stages."
"Besides, you know we're dealing with Smashboards here. They have a huge competitive bias, y'know! Your stage is always touted as being too big like a certain purple space pterodactyl!
"Next time you want to build a temple, I suggest going for one central platform in the middle of the stage. Maybe include some special platforms if you are too much of a Bohemian. Final Destination is all the rage nowadays."
"This better not be some sort of farce so you can prevent me from gaining more fighter intel."
"Errrmgh! The whispers! They got another message.
"..."
"
Want... 90%."
"Well now, I guess this matters more to the fans just to have it happen than it does to serve the gameplay."
"Well, we've shown it's still possible to get more guidances. I mean, players just love hearing our thoughts on the other fighters. Makes the game more connected in a funny way."
"Not to mention I can give you tips on what moves of their's to watch out for."
"I've got some choice words for that Mewtwo creature. Man cannot create new forms of life! You're meddling with the powers reserved for the gods and you've made something dangerous!"
"Hey now, what about me getting my own set of guidances, Viridi?"
"As well as a set for me?"
"Yeah, there's totally so much we can do with the both of you! Takes a lot of the pressure off me, even if it's just a couple."
"Moi, you can't leave my devilish handsomeness and soothing voice! If you two come along, I'm gonna but in every now and then too."
"Oh, and while you're at it, you might not want to forget just how limited Pitty's guidances already are! You really want to see an all-star cast?"
"COME AND GET 'EM, BOYS!"
"Oooohohohoooo! Socializations are fun!"
"It's the angel boy!"
"He doesn't smell as tasty!"
"You got quite a nerve showing up here!"
"Mind you, I am a lady! Or at least I'll be after my fountain bath!"
"Gaaaah! The Underworld commanders! Now I'm going to have to crush them all over again!"
"Always just recycling the same old bosses? The Underworld just doesn't quit it!"
"Come on, I'm deploying you onto the battlefield!"
"Not so fast! I plan on lending a hand here!"
"Guess we'll see who's the greater half here."
"If Arlon and Phosphora were not on the sidelines, then the Forces of Nature would have this one in the bag. Looks like we're matched in our straits of luck, Palutena."
"Oh, and you think you'll have the upper hand on my home turf? Let's see who's the better god. Between you and Hades!"
"Well, it seems I'm caught in the crossfire. Ah well, let's make my revenge convenient!"
