    He'll make a man out of you, Lynel support thread!

    This is such a good idea! It's a real 'WHAT THE F***' character and one that is subtly very popular amongst the Zelda community - think Piranha plant but very prominent recently and probably a very surprising yet welcome addition thanks to BotW. They've quickly become infamous for their...

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

    Funnily enough, I noticed it going from Melee to Brawl - or Brawl trailers, I should say. It concerned me because Brawl looked slower than Melee (in terms of graphical 'speed') in trailers, but the actual game was running at the same speed. It used to bug me that loads of Xbox 360 games ran at...

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

    Hopefully it does, and I'm certainly not suggesting this is indicative of the games' final quality, but as a first impression it does deter me, or at least clouds my overall judgement of the gameplay. The game hasn't grabbed me yet like I thought it would. Again, I'm not saying poor framerate...

    Now that generic enemies are on the table, who do you want?

    If we're having generic enemies for Smash, I think that Pikmin deserves a rep - what other characters are there in this series that wouldn't be palette swaps or echoes of Olimar? That being said, I can't think of a good moveset for a Bulborb myself, but I'm sure Sakurai could do it

    Why is online in this game so bad?

    I'm genuinely annoyed that, even if it is cheap, I'm now paying for this quality of online service. It's poor. I can accept it in certain games, but not in a fighter, especially when I'm then punished for 1. wanting to exit the game because it's like playing a slide show by being banned and 2...

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

    Frame rate is a definite issue. I think your Starlink comparison hits the nail on the head - that being said, Starlink is truly open world, whereas DXM seems to be mission-based. I think the X comparisons and connections I've been making have made me assume this game would be 'relatively' open...

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

    I've had an X vibe from this game for awhile - even the drumbeats in the music sound like X's That being said, not sure what I think to Daemon x Machina yet - need more time with the demo me thinks

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

    Wow, that's cool! Is the new XC2 Artbook out now? I forgot to pre-order it. On a Direct note, did anyone else initially think that Astral Chain was Xenoblade X2? Other than the art style, the music screamed Xenoblade to me. I'd be interested to see the composers for this. EDIT: I've just seen...

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

    Honestly, I'd just have it as a costume (If I remember correctly, aren't there 4 variants of her true armour in total?), even though it's technically a huge spoiler. I would say her final smash, but that should 100% be a third person barrage from her skell!

    Rex Drives into Battle! (...As Pyra's Final Smash!!)

    Mythra's has Shulk and Corrin in it

    Rex Drives into Battle! (...As Pyra's Final Smash!!)

    I would've thought Cloud for Jin or Malos, given that Tetsuya Nomura designed them

    Social Two Sides of the Same Aegis: The Pyra & Mythra Social thread

    I agree with this. I know that it wouldn't match with XC2's Driver and Blade gameplay, but Rex isn't the popular character in XC2, it's the Aegis. When I think of Rex being playable, I think of Pyra and Mythra basically fused behind him, using their Arts and Swords for certain special moves and...

    Rex Drives into Battle! (...As Pyra's Final Smash!!)

    I'm pretty sure they did at one point. I know they said that there are currently no plans to work on an X port for Switch (although that may be PR speak), but I highly expect a sequel. Given the success of XC2, I can't see Nintendo and Monolith leaving Xenoblade to become irrelevant, especially...

    Bombs... :/

    Admittedly, bombs are something I forget to use, but they have plenty of utility and I've seen opponents use them very well against me. They prevent rush ins, have some recovery potential, they're an unexpected annoyance that may lead into some combos, or even give an opening for a charge shot...

    2B Automatizes!

    I haven't played NA yet (waiting for a Switch port pleeeeease), but I'd be happy for 2B to be in Smash. She'd be a great combo character to rival Bayo
