What I meant is that a lack of a physical release for a system in one or parts of the world or lack of one for a specific console should not be used as an argument against a character's inclusion.
Less then 24 hours until the presentation and i really hope Lloyd makes it out alive just for the chaos this would create for speculation.The last one could fit Splatoon 2 as well; most of the Splatoon content in base is of the first game. 2 has a few music and spirits (no Hero mode or Salmon Run for instance) and Octo Expansion literally has only two spirits. I can make an easy challenger pack for Octoling or Off the Hook that focuses on 2/OE content
also, meme for tomorrow:
Kazuya’s presentation be like
The one thing that might help Chorus Kid’s odds is that their models would probably be far less detailed than Rex or Pyra’s. They are probably even simpler than the Ice Climbers as well. I believe that was a big part of the reason why Ice Climbers worked but Rex couldn’t. Maybe they could even be sprite based instead of using models since they are basically just line art. Not that I particularly want them or anything.
Then you missed the point of the argument itself, which is that it's a sign of a publisher lacking confidence in success as it saves production costs. For Doom Eternal, this is only the case for the Switch version which is massively late to the point that the DLC is behind on that specific version. FDC however has no real confidence from Nintendo due to the bare minimal marketing, no physical copies outside Japan, no English dub as that'd be too costly for their estimated sales and in Europe you can't even buy the games seperately.
Yes but he's not fully there only appearing in Pyrya's/Mythra's intros, taunts, and final smashes. Sakurai tried to have them be a 3 in 1 trio character.
Rex never fought himself? Or am I misremembering. Was he more like how Toad is, appearing in multiple attacks?
With Arsene you have to fill up the Rebellion Gauge in order to summon him. In addition, I think Arsene vanishes when performing certain actions such as grabs and the Final Smash.
Arsene works more cosmetically than anything as he can't be hit, he's more of a visual indicator that Joker hits harder now
Again Sakurai tried doing a 3 in one trio character. Technical limitations prevented this as he mentioned in his presentation for Pyra & Mythra as eight player with them would had lead to 24 fighters which the Switch couldn't support.
First of all, you say that like Sakurai wanted Rex, Pyra, and Mythra all on the screen at the same time. Second, a single Ice Climber has half the polygons of Pyra, and I'd imagine a single Chorus Kid having even less because, well, they're even less detailed than the climbers.
That's how I took. Was it not that he tried making them a trio character? Given he mentions the whole eight-player which would have 24 fighters which the Switch couldn't support.
While there might be a lack of confidence in sales regarding the lack of physical copies, the fact the games got localized at all is still kinda hard to push to the side alongside the fact this is the first time they ever got released outside of Japan. That, and the lack of English dubs is common for a lot of visual novel games/adventure games. But fair enough, it may be a potential downside for her inclusion chances
Pyra and Mythra are alternate forms of the same character, so only Rex and one form would be on the screen at the same time.
I mean...Doomslayer still isn't in the game, and he more than likely isn't going to be.
Oh, so it wasn't originally a transformation character. All three were onscreen at once. Gotcha. Yeah, that was never plausible, heh.
How do you explain the whole 24 fighters in 8-player Smash then mentioned in the presentation?
I would honestly love to see FF6 remade in the style of Octopath Traveller. That style just fits 6 so well and would make a ton of sense.
I think Michael's misinterpreting the plans to have Rex alongside Pyra and Mythra as having all three characters on the screen at the same time, when that's not how it works in XC2.
Seems even then the whole transformation switch still would had been too much to support regardless given Sakurai mentioned 24 fighters in 8-player Smash otherwise you'd think he would have gone for Rex & Pyra/Mythra (Zelda/Sheik transformation).
Yeah sure, if the remakes do well enough for Nintendo to greenlight an all new game that also does well enough and has a proper physical worldwide release, I could see Ayumi being considered for the next Smash. But as for this game...eh.
And I did think he went for that, since that's how it works in XC2, not Rex & Pyra & Mythra all at once.
I mean, the fact he said 24 characters onscreen is pretty clear proof all three were onscreen at once, yeah. That's pretty hard to misinterpret.

Ah seems I misinterpreted what Sakurai meant then.Straight from the horse's mouth, he wanted two characters on screen, not three.Sakurai considered a Rex and Pyra duo character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Sakurai revealed in his latest Famitsu magazine column that he considered adding Rex and Pyra as a duo for Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

To be honest, I'm not sure which is more accurate anymore. >.<;Straight from the horse's mouth, he wanted two characters on screen, not three.Sakurai considered a Rex and Pyra duo character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Unless Pyra and Mythra were still transform characters in addition to being paired with Rex. Only one Blade was active at a time in Xenoblade 2 and switching blades was a big part of the gameplay. I always imagined that’s how it would have worked if there were no technical limitations. Kind of like how Akira Howard works in Astral Chain.Straight from the horse's mouth, he wanted two characters on screen, not three.Sakurai considered a Rex and Pyra duo character for Super Smash Bros.

Off-topic, but iff we are going to take the whole “Smash ends on a low note” argument seriously, then by definition the likes of Waluigi, Dixie, Bandana Dee, Skull Kid and Isaac would not be viable as they are popularly requested characters and would fit the status of “too good to be true” for a lot if people.
Considering how incredibly simplistic the designs are, I think the approach Sakurai would go with is having one Chorus Kid on his own, and have the other two show up for specific attacks.
Either that or another Pokemon.What I am saying is that we are getting a 9th Fire Emblem character as the last fighter.
I'm kind of considering them "low notes" in the "this is the pass that has Steve and Sephiroth" sense, not the "this is the base game that added Ridley and K. Rool" sense.
