So what do you think the girls' Classic Mode will be? Here's my take:
Two Blades Awakened (fights characters with different types of blades)
Round 1:
on Great Plateau Tower (Battle!! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2)
Round 2: on Garreg Mach Monastery (Still, Move Forward!)
Round 3: (free-for-all) on Northern Cave (Those Who Stand Against Our Path - Xenoblade Chronicles 2)
Round 4: on Reset Bomb Forest (Battle!! (Torna Ver.))
Round 5: Pyra/Mythra on Gramps' Back (Counterattack)
Round 6: on Battlefield Gaur Plain (You Will Know Our Names)
Final Round: Ganon (After Despair and Hope)

Passing by from Geno and Doom Slayer's following to leave my congratulations.
Ever since Rex's case a couple of years ago, I had a feeling that something would be done to represent XB2 somehow. Either with a special case returning Rex or...this reveal. And I'm glad to have XB fans getting a chance in such a cool way. Pyra and Mythra look fantastic and fun to play. I'm glad that transforming characters are back in the table as I always liked that mechanic for Zelda and Sheik but it makes even more sense here as they're both so intricate to each other.
Can't wait for the proper showcase to see what can they exactly do, the music and the Mii costumes that might come with them as part of XB or else.
Rejoice, Pyra/Mythra fans!

The DLC Classic Modes don't really include the other DLC fighters. The Smash team has got to assume a player only purchased that individual fighter. A Pyra/Mythra mirror match is possible though, but their Classic Mode wouldn't include Byleth and Sephiroth.So what do you think the girls' Classic Mode will be? Here's my take:
Two Blades Awakened (fights characters with different types of blades)
Round 1:
Round 2:
Round 3:
Round 4:
Round 5: Pyra/Mythra on Gramps' Back (Counterattack)
Round 6:
Final Round: Ganon (After Despair and Hope)
I know, I just did this for fun.

What is this pythracord you speak of? sounds interesting.
(I'm assuming it's a discord for Pyra and Mythra.)

References I managed to spot:
Needless to say, if you spotted any others, please share them.
1. Pyra and Mythra's official figure poses
![]()
2. World Tree

3. Handling a man's turtle!

4. Mythra meets Jin and Lora
![]()
A bit of a stretch, but the fact she's using Chroma Dust (Torna move) while fighting Sephiroth (self-explanatory) and Simon (whip) make me think this is referencing her first appearance in Torna
5. Xenoblade 2's box art
![]()
Rex and Pyra looking at the World Tree with Uraya deciding to photobomb
6. Malos and Akhos
![]()
Sacred Arrow + The colors make it really obvious that they are referencing their boss fight.
7. Amalthus
![]()
The blue skin and white hair make it really obvious. Inkling is less obvious but he's most likely referencing Amalthus' tentacle armor.
8. The big X logo
Barely a reference but still, the big X logo of the series, formed by the swords clashing.

Everyone knows Byleth is the true tea aficionado know.So, how long will it be until we see people draw Pyra having tea parties with
On another note I just saw Mythra using the same forward smash as Pyra, so I suppose I'll change my theory that Foresight and Smash Flare are always on and are just passive effects.

I've never played any of the Xenoblade games (though I may have to now!) but Pyra and Mythra look great! Love the character design and mechanics presented so far. And they're pretty darn cute.

The foresight dodge is waaay too good, so there's no way it always works for dodges. There has to be something to gaining it. Dunno what tho xD

Question for those who finished that game. I still have to(a bad thread creator i am), but i am pretty sure i am close. Climing the tree.
I got stuck farming for KOS-MOS, and it burned me out. Has KOS-MOS been increased in terms of drop rate? Also, i never did any of the dlc, can i do that battle stuff now or is that a new game plus thing?
Also, game explain also did theirnown analysis, talking about moveset amd references.
And here are a few more fanarts.

Don't bother with getting Kosmos until the postgame. Think of her as an optional superweapon because that's basically what she is. Farming legendary cores from superbosses is really easy with the right setup, you can get her in 2-3 hours (4 if you are really unlucky).

I have lots of things coming up so just watch the end of the video or my update video to find out about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpAUXLxreOcTryna ...

By battle stuff you mean challenge mode? That's also postgame stuff. Don't worry about it. Just relax and enjoy the ending of this fantastic game.

By post-game I mean anything that happens after beating the final boss. And you don't need new game plus to get T-elos, you just have to beat the final boss.
When should you go about doing new game plus?
My recommendations:
Get all your party members to level 99.
Unlock all blades you can unlock before new game plus.
Finish the little ardun quest in Torigoth (assuming you haven't accidentally killed him yet) and once he turns into a unique monster, defeat him at least once.
Even after unlocking all blades, get 99 legendary cores to unlock the new blades as soon as you want in new game+.
Some people say to complete all affinity chart on your blades before doing new game+ but that takes really long, you will be putting it off for too long. You can just do that later.
With swapping driver and blades I assume you mean bonding blades to other drivers. In new game+ you can exchange additional experience points for overdrive protocols. Once you get to superboss territory you will have more experience points than you know what to do with.

I'm one of those people that, while not on any of my personal Most Wanted lists, am always glad when 1st Party Nintendo characters make it in. Smash has always been a Nintendo game and while it's cool to see fighters from popular games like Dragon Quest and Minecraft, I think in general 1st Party just feels better.
(I'm going to say that Banjo has that 1st Party feel since they started off on Nintendo and of no fault of Banjo's ended up somewhere else, hah.)
I got Banjo so that's all I could ask for, it's a great feeling to get your Most Wanted in! I also haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles 1 or 2, but Pyra and Mythra seem really freakin' cool and they make me want to play the series.

Ah i thought T-ELOS was one of the new game plus blades. That shes just a post game blade makes me very happy. Who were the new game plus ones again?
And thanks for that quick guide. This weekend i may work on this game, getting to post game at least and working towards T-ELOS. And im pretty sure i never killed that monster we were raising.
Im still slightly in shock haha. I just want them now!
Also guys, not sure if you saw, but mew2king started playing xenoblade chronicles 2 because of this reveal
stuff like this makes me so happy. I'm glad that smash has the power to help people try other games. GOOD games. I wouldn't have given fire emblem, kid icarus, starfox, or metroid a second thought if not for smash bros and I'm so glad I did pic.twitter.com/7SdTc2m2Er

After being so hyped by the Sephiroth reveal I was convinced the next one wouldn't be as good. Lets just say I'm glad to be wrong!

I do feel like it really hasn't fully clicked. I was a bit in shock when it happened, and now I'm not sure xD
Sakurai really rocked the boat, or at least did something I didn't expect and am really happy about. The presentation can't come soon enough.

I'm so glad that Monolith Soft is getting the respect they deserve by having Pyra and Mythra be involved in Smash Bros.
There were just too many signs pointing to their inclusion.

I've gotta agree. I wasn't expecting a XC2 rep, even though I was hoping for one very badly.
Sakurai has made my week.

I have woken up and remembered, "Holy crap, the Aegis girls are in Smash" for the past few days now.

Bat within doesn't always work, you need good timing. And degrading dodges from overuse is already a check against this.

It'd still be overpowered. In competitive play being able to slow down an opponent that long just from dodging would be way too good.
Even if Mythra doesn't have any quick ko options, which we don't know, it'd still let you have free damage. And who knows maybe you even have time to charge a smash a bit or combo and change to pyra and ko.

Never played the game but both characters look very good playstyle wise. Although, I may prefer using Mythra more than Pyra. I like Mythra's presentation, attitude and voice direction.

I wonder if Mythra's Photon Edge is a much-better version of Sephiroth's Octaslash? I mean, she seems to be warping everywhere as she's using it. Should make it harder to be hit while using it.

It does seem really good. Depends how much down time there is after though.
Mythra icon will come once they release, since I'll need to have it ripped from the game files
They're also in the banner rotation

It looks more like Quick Draw, you need to actually hit the initial dash for any of the followups to happen. And jumping all over the place can actually make you more likely to take random hits.

I also wanted to stop by and say I was happy for you all! They weren't my first choice, but I can't deny that they look fun to play! I'm mostly just sad I haven't gotten a chance to play XB2 yet. I'm trying to get into XB on the Wii first, but the length has been a bit daunting to me. I intend to finish it eventually though!
I have to say that I really enjoy their trailer after having watched it a few times. They do a really great job with characterization and humor imho. The differences in personality between Pyra and Mythra are very apparent.
My favorite part of the trailer personally was Mythra's introduction. Slicing the remote bomb in half and then that great quote:
"Oh hey, were these guys planning on winning? Gee, I feel kind of bad now."
The delivery is just so great... Very uncaring, confident, and badass at the same time!
