    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I guess this is what happens when a company makes games that are sort of related but have vastly different strengths and weaknesses. Many of the XC1 fans went into X wanting it to be quite similar, getting upset when they found out it contained rap/hip-hop and the (main) story wasn't as...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    Man... I've seen people saying they care even less about playing X due to the remake of Xenoblade 1 and how they are convinced that they only care about the numbered Xenoblade games despite never giving X a shot. It's disappointing. I'm guessing something like 75+% of "Xenoblade" fans want...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    If XCX music wouldn't be included with Rex (and considering how easy it should've been to add til now, I'm guessing it won't be), I'd really rather not have him in Smash. I dislike his design, I hate his English voice, it's annoying that most people seem to only want him to get Pyra/Mythra in...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I agree. Hiroyuki Sawano is my favorite composer, and his first big full OST for a video game went to Xenoblade X which was a relatively high profile release (for the Wii U) shortly before Smash Ultimate's project plan. It was a perfect opportunity to include some... To be a bit more...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I can't help but feel if Elma isn't Fighter Pass character #5, Sakurai will 100% prioritize Rex instead and she won't be added by the end of DLC development, unless Monolith is making X2 right now with Elma and want to promote her more. The outcry for Rex & Pyra was too big and Sakurai loves XC2...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    If we are sticking with the idea that the DLC was decided by early 2016, that would make no sense. Edelgard is even less unique than Corrin and Sakurai already had concerns adding too many FE characters, only adding Chrom because of the idea of Echo Fighters and his popularity. If the next...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I found FEW more fun than the original release of Hyrule Warriors because of the pair-up mechanic, mounted units, the ability to give units orders and swap between different units. Very good FE specific changes that I felt made the gameplay better overall. Although, I know they added swapping...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I thought about it. Maybe 1 of the 2 characters left won't be 3rd party. Before Sm4sh DLC, there were only four 3rd party characters in the game. Then that DLC almost doubled the amount with 3 more. We technically only got 1 more unique 3rd party character with Ultimate, and now at least 3 are...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I'm thinking all of the DLC for this fighter pass will be 3rd party. Maybe there will be one Nintendo character, but I would be extremely (pleasantly) surprised if it were a Xenoblade X character, considering how things are looking at the moment. If the Smash team ever decides to do another...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    Do people think how Joker was added as sort of a big celebration of Persona with multiple games being represented and a bunch of new spirits makes it more likely the remaining 4 in the fighter pass will be 3rd party from unrepresented series? It's a little early to say, but I think it does...and...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I kinda agree with this. I wouldn't say I've given up, but with Bayonetta, Joker, and possibly Lloyd (who I think is likely), most of the things that would've made a moveset for Elma stand out are in the game already... With her being a spirit as well, maybe Cross IS more likely. If they could...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    It's possible they wanted to keep all the lesser known spirits from the more obscure series because those series only had 1 or 2 spirits, but with the entire main party of XC1 and XC2, that's already around 10 spirits in the "Xenoblade Series", which maybe they thought was enough. (I know there...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    This makes sense. So...maybe only 3/5 will be 3rd party? I don't see them putting in more than one lesser known character so here's hoping it's Elma to promote a XCX port. I'm still choosing to believe that Nintendo picked the characters with Sakurai's input around the time he did Ultimate's...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I was thinking that they put together the rough map and where each spirit would be in 2016-2017, and after the release of XC2, swapped some spirits out and rearranged the positions. Or maybe the developers just thought too few people would care about the XCX cast being in WoL (aside from Elma)...

    Elma for Smash Ultimate: Strength comes from experience. That’s true on any planet.

    I don't think the X spirits were last-minute additions. I think maybe they were originally in WoL, but after Sakurai fell in love with XC2, he replaced the XCX spirits with the main cast of that game. In the update with Piranha Plant, two characters other than it (Mii Sword Fighter, Duck Hunt)...
