I think Fortnite Jonesey is looking likely.
I actually prefer Thanos over him if we are getting a fortnite character.(Even though he's not originated from video game and Sakurai said we're not gonna get any non video game content)

Also that will make a lot of people mad.

So Who do you think will gonna be the last fighter?
we’re probably getting someone like sega/atlus or Koei tecmo. Best bets would be phantasy star online or ryu hayabusa

I’m sticking with my guts and saying Layton though. Tad bit of biass, I know. However, I feel we’ll get a new company as the last spot and part of me is holding onto the hope that the list leak is real and there’s just coincidences that match up.

And then another "Obscure Ecchi Animu Swordie" makes CP11 while the last couple of Miis are all popular choices like Crash, Chief, Slayer, etc. If that comes to pass, then the Twitter outrage will make Byleth look like Banjo in comparison.
Let’s be real though, there is little chance of the last character being nearly as controversial as Byleth to the point of getting 80k+ dislikes on Youtube even in this hypothetical scenario mostly by virtue of not being the 8th Fire Emblem character. Even Cinderace would not come close to getting the same level of hate.

Nah, the DLC will end with a different kind of plant....

Of all EA's series, I think Plants vs Zombies is the most on Nintendo's wavelength, maybe besides MySims but the question is how they would handle it.

Would the character be one of the characters from Garden Warfare, heroes or would Sakurai pull something out and successfully make a move set out of the original immobile plants.

Like another Sonic rep? Or Ryu Hayabusa? That'll be cool

wouldn’t have a clue who it would be for sega but they’re the most weird Company. You’d expect it to be a sonic rep because (1) it’s their best selling franchise and (2) it’s not represented well in smash but knowing them it would be arle or someone else completely.

As for koei tecmo I’d say yeah. Ryu hayabuse would probably be the one they choose.

Well, I just hope the last fighter is charactet that can appeal to all generations. Then people will gonna be less salty
I mean, Banjo only appeals to old people and he didn't get that much salt because most people who rage at Smash reveals are old.

If anything, appealing to younger fans is a reason to get hate because of the "new fans being familiar with something=something is relevant=shill pick" line of thought.

I have absolutely no idea.
Same except I do think it's not going to be someone third-party, considering that FP2 has been going for bigger third-parties than 1, but Smash doesn't end with beeeg third-parties.

Do we know anything about sales yet? I was a little nervous, given the strange lack of advertising. Seriously, it feels like Balan Wonderworld of all things had more advertising than Neo TWEWY...
Nothing crazy about the sales, which doesn't surprise me considering the lack of marketing from Square. Like, Neo hasn't even appeared in the 2 past Directs (or any State of Play), and I doubt Nintendo would say no to the game being in their Directs, even if they're not super interested in promoting it. So I assume that's Square's fault to be honest.

I mean, even with some promotion I wasn't expecting big numbers because the original game wasn't a hit when it came out, it became a cult classic and all and word of mouth helped it through the years, but it's still relatively niche but with a passionate fandom. Neo has brought more fans and more eyes into the series, that's for sure, but between Square Enix barely promoting it and the game being kinda niche by default... I wouldn't expect another game soon at all. But that was what I expected to be honest, and luckily Neo doesn't end on a cliffhanger or anything like that.

TWEWY fans, would y'all recommend playing the first TWEWY game before NEO, or is playing NEO by itself fine?
Play the original one on DS/Switch or at least watch the anime. I haven't watched it but I assume it's not the best way to experience the story even if it's because it's just 12 episodes, which always seemed like very few episodes to cover TWEWY's story and all the characters. But I guess that's better than nothing.

Maybe there's a very good recap on Youtube if you don't want to watch an entire let's play.

I'm hearing about this game quite a bit and I'm probably gonna need to play the original to understand everything, so I'd like to ask:

I hear Final Mix is inferior to the original DS version, but how inferior is it in comparison? Is it at least tolerable enough, or is it outright bad?
My personal experience, in case it helps you:

I've never played the original version on DS. I'd like to but it's super expensive to buy. I think even the Final Remix version on Switch is slowly becoming more rare to find.
This wouldn't be a problem if original TWEWY was on the 3DS eShop, which as far as I know isn't the case.

So I just played the Switch version, and while I know a lot of people criticize the controls of said version, specifically the docked controls... I had for the most part a good experience. I played with the joy-cons and I don't know maybe I got lucky but it was fine for the most part. Not perfect that's for sure, but it wasn't bad or annoying for me to the point I wanted to quit.

I'd personally prefer MMX Zero but the Mega Man Zero 2 intro (the best one in the Zero series) would be so PERFECT for a Smash reveal trailer dude.

And that's in part thanks to Departure. Such a good song.

When it comes to the original story, I'd also recommend playing/watching a video of "A New Day," the bonus story added in Final Remix. It was explicitly meant to set up the sequel and there are a few plot points in NEO that rely on it.

Honestly, I don't think you need to experience the original story--NEO did a decent job of filling in the gaps and is mostly focused on its own story--but having that knowledge beforehand helps NEO's story resonate more.

Who did Verge stole his info from?
He didn't. He's gotten bad sources, but always got his information from actual sources.

Doesn't make him credible anymore or anything, but honesty is pretty much his thing these days. And has been for multiple years in a row. He's only human, and well, can believe people who say lies too. Doesn't make him a liar either.

A leaker is only as good as their sources, if you will.

do we know if his info about koei tecmo was from his real source before the pandemic or was that bit of info from his unreliable source during the covid pandemic. I can’t remember

I looked it up the other day as nobody ****ing talked about the anime at all but the big issue is they screwed up Neku and made him more stoic rather than the antisocial asshole he is which undermines his development, the first scene of the game is absent and the internal dialogue is kept out which sucks as most of Neku's characterization comes from these moments

Maybe I’m being picky here but I feel that the last character will definitely have another voice and won’t be just Japanese. Each character in the pass has been spaced out so non of them overlap with a character that speaks the same language as the other.

min min is Chinese, then Steve was mute, then sephiroth was Japanese, then pyra/myphra were English and then kazuya was Japanese.

I feel the last fighter will continue the trend and will have a voice that isn’t just Japanese like sephiroth and kazuya are in all versions of the game.

basically something like the last fighter will be mute or have an English voice or German voice or Spanish voice etc. I think the most logical of them all though would be to either be mute or English.

again I could be being picky though.

This isn't a pattern that was kept in mind, especially as Sephiroth not speaking English is due to Nintendo being cheapskates on VAs

I wish it was Ammy so I can say "see, Dogs do talk in their own language too"

i always thought sephiroth only spoke Japanese to keep consistent with cloud only speaking Japanese. But yeah this probably doesn’t mean anything. It was just something that came to my mind.

I honestly don't know. I just know he's gotten bad information quite often. It helps he himself never lies, but that doesn't mean his information is good, ya know?

It's likely a factor too but that begs the question why Cloud didn't get dubbed whereas Roy did when both were Smash 4 DLC and considering how Nintendo is known for beinf anti union on Smash, it's clearly on Nintendo
