I already said a “final” post before Sora was revealed (actually it might’ve been before the direct itself — kinda jumped the gun there lol), but now that the newcomer speculation section is actually closing, I’ll post another one. It’s been quite a ride speculating for Ultimate. Even if I...

I know I joked about “the miracle never happen” if he didn’t get in, but tbh it doesn’t feel like that to me. I am a bit bummed about no Smash content, but the franchise is doing pretty well right now. GAA1&2 getting localized was a dream come true, and those games along with the main series...

I think in terms of fan demand he's just too big to cut

That's crazy that they actually managed to get Sora in the game. He's definitely a big name to end out the roster on. I'm really glad my friend convinced me to play through the Kingdom Hearts franchise beforehand! I'm a bit bummed that some of my favorite franchises (like Ace Attorney, TWEWY, or...

Wow, they actually did it! I'm glad my friend roped me into playing the KH games beforehand, this is exciting! Playstyle-wise, Sora really is an aerial fighter, and he looks like a lot of fun. Hollow Bastion/Dive into the Heart is a great idea for a stage too. The only thing I'm bummed about is...

It feels super weird to be coming to the close of what's been almost one continuous era of Smash ever since Smash 4. I only joined this site Feb 2020, but in that time there have been some fun discussions, as well as some absolutely insane ones haha. I've mainly hung out here and in the...

Oh man, the final reveal is getting closer and closer. Tbh I don't have any solid predictions for who the final fighter could be. I could see them ending with a first party, a huge third party to end it with a bang, or a smaller third party. Of the characters I'm actively rooting for, the one I...

I started Tales of Arise, but I haven't gotten that far yet -- I'm still wrapping up my replay of Trails to Azure as well. Still, Arise is a lot of fun so far. Today Bandai Namco announced a new crossover DLC pack coming October 7: Tbh I probably should've expected this since Bandai Namco...

:ultpyra: /:ultmythra: thoughts: Xenoblade 2 was one of those games that I wasn't actively pushing for to get a fighter, but I would've been happy if one did show up. I played through Xenoblade 2 beforehand and enjoyed it a lot -- I prefer 1 overall, but 2 was still solid. The reveal was...

Ah yes, Imagination Clearly this is a TWEWY reference But in all seriousness, in regard to whether this is hinting towards a big reveal or something... I don't know, probably not? I'm too hooked on finishing Trails to Azure right now to really think through this

As someone who really wanted a couple other Square characters (primarily Neku and 2B)... Sephiroth was still such a cool addition. I didn't even play FF7, but the reveal was executed perfectly, the moveset is great, and I love that we got more Final Fantasy content after Cloud didn't really come...

Wow, Steve day couldn't have been timed better lol. Steve is a character I wasn't necessarily hyped for, but one that I find both hilarious and impressive from a development standpoint. My friend group was very polarized about Steve -- he was my college roommate's most wanted character, but...

Time for my (rather late) Min Min thoughts. She's alright. I'm not really a fan of ARMS -- I don't dislike it, it's just kinda there for me. So when the guessing game got announced, there was a period of March to June 2020 where I wasn't invested in who the next character would be. Still, her...

Van would be the funniest timeline Nintendo: Here's Van Arkride as the final Challenger Pack, releasing this October. You can play as him in Kuro no Kiseki, coming out in the west... (looks over to NIS America) uh wait, when is it getting localized again? NISA: idk, probably 2024? We have like...

An alternate take on a multi-weapon user could involve assigning a special to swap weapons, but at that point it'd be similar to Pokemon Trainer or Pyra/Mythra. Pyra/Mythra at least have the benefit of their normals mainly differing in terms of speed and damage output, with similar animations...
