Oh. Alright, then.
Well, it's a interesting theory.I was thinking if the next fighter was 2b, they would announce it on Nier's birthday. but due to the corona virus, the March Nier anniversary concert was postponed, and so was the fighter reveal.
This might mean something. I can't see why Sakurai would need to postpone the reveal if it was going to be in a nintendo direct. The one reason might be that Sakurai has not recorded a fighter reveal. But he usually pre-records his fighter reveals as he stated in byleth's reveal. So I don't really see a reason for the next fighter to be postponed other than if it was supposed to be shown to a live audience.
Obviously this is just a thought, not evidence.
NieR fans gonna be likeNIER REPLICANT REMASTER ANNOUNCED!

Hopefully it gets released during the quarantine ^_^
I'd be totally cool with it. I think I'd prefer 2B, since Automata is my favorite game ever, but Replicant is also truly excellent and I really love Brother Nier. Plus it means we would be more likely to get a Kainé remix.So, with the returning relevance of NieR as a whole, and the return of (Brother) Nier...
How would you all feel if it was Nier himself who got into Smash instead of 2B?
It be a bit strange, since I've been parading for 2B all this time, but I'll be happy to get anything NieR/Drakengard in Smash.
I feel like I should leave. I had no idea Nier was an actual person....and now I feel like I've learned something I shouldn't have.How would you all feel if it was Nier himself who got into Smash instead of 2B?
Well i loved every second i spent reading this.Hey 2B thread! You guys are awfully quiet. Hopefully this wakes you guys up a bit! A Smashboard’s News character analysis!

Fantastic. Aside from the fact it looks really well done, especially since I believe this was mostly done in programs such as Photoshop rather than being an actual 3D model, it seems to me like it shows that 2B can be toned down to be less fanservicey one way or another and still fit in just fine.This render is very cool. What do you think?

I played Nier back in 2017 so my memory isn't really good, and with that in mind I'd say A2 is one of those characters that could work as an echo fighter by losing a bit of identity. Same case, in my opinion, with characters such as Dark Samus or Dixie Kong. At the same time I think that A2 could be her own character because she had enough unique abilities. Also, her attacks animations are different from 2B's if I'm not mistaken.It's been well over 24 hours since I last posted here, so I wanted to mention that I've reached Ending B and started playing as A2.
On a related note, I have a question: would A2 work as an Echo fighter for 2B, or an Alph-style alternate costume? I haven't played much of A2 so far, but unlike 9S (who hacks his opponents in exchange for not having a heavy attack), A2 seems to play pretty similarly to 2B so far - I haven't reached the Goliath in the desert yet, but so far, the only differences that I've seen are that her dash looks more sinister and she has a dedicated taunt button.
I'm not sure if she has all of the same abilities as 2B, or at least enough that she could be an Echo fighter with a different final smash, and I figured it might generate discussion.
Happy to see that you have enjoyed the game!I got endings C, D, and E in very quick succession, and I've officially (as far as I'm concerned) beaten Nier Automata! My hand hurts, but once I connected to the network, it was a really uplifting moment. (though I chose not to delete my save data, since I was close to getting some achievements and I didn't want to lose all of my progress)
I just barely got the achievement for completing 80% of the unit data by beating the final boss, which was good. I tried fighting the bonus boss in the underground area before I entered the end-game, but that went... poorly. (I died in two hits)
At the moment, I'm missing thirteen achievements. Five are listed in Steam's menu:
and there are eight secret ones:
- complete 80% of all quests (I was around 50 or 60%, though I do need to go back to older chapters to get weapons that can only be unlocked by completing quests)
- find 80% of archives
- obtain all Pod programs (I think I was at about 60% for that, and I believe that some are rewards for completing quests)
- upgrade all weapons to the highest level
- upgrade all Pods to the highest level (that one might be a pain, given how rare some of the upgrade materials seem to be)
All in all, I'd say that I did pretty well. Not sure how this game stacks up to Bayonetta 2, DMC3, or DMC5, but I think it beats out Metal Gear Rising, and it's definitely one of my favourite action games.
- destroy 50 machines using remote-controlled machines - I rarely used the remote control function, so that might take a while
- destroy 50 machines in Berserk mode - I only used that mode once when the story suggested it, so again, that might take a while
- destroy 10 friendly machine life forms
- look up 2B's skirt 10 times
- play as 9S for an hour in his post-self-destruct state
- destroy Emil (going to need to level grind for that one - like I said, he beat me in two hits before, and from what I understand, there's a second form that's even tougher)
- find Emil's hiding place
- reach all 26 endings (I didn't go for any of the bonus endings, and I sold the mackerel, so I'm not sure if I can even accomplish this one)
As much as I want 2B, this is reaching at its finest.
By my understanding, don't most of these glitches happen as a result of faulty SD cards? (I believe that was the case for the Mii Swordfighter and Duck Hunt glitches that happened around Piranha Plant's release, anyway)
Considering that the source in question only got a single Mii costume correct so far, I don't see any reason to take the source seriously. (and going by the date on the post, this was nine months after Cuphead came to Switch, and three months after Sans was added to Smash, so it could just be a coincidence) At the very least, 1/9 isn't exactly a pattern.
I merged the posts, but for future reference, if you want to add more detail to your post, just edit it in; double posting is considered spam. (also, SupirorGuy and the Mii costume leaker are two separate people; I understand that people get heated about this topic, but it's best to not spread inaccurate information)Fatman’s “source” is a fraud. His name is Supirorguy, ROFLMAO! Fatman imo should kind of stop pretending to be a leaker, and people should stop believing him. He’s already hated by SG, same goes for his “source” Supirorguy (the Mii costume leaker).
Also, y’all need to stop giving him attention. He’s very unreliable.
In b4 "This is a hint to Smash!"There will be an announcement on September 24 at the Tokyo Game Show regarding NieR Replicant Ver. 1.22474487139, NieR Re[in]carnation, and NieR Automata.
Mark your calendars.
