Final DLC character is Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia.
He will be a fun and unique character but casual smash fans will catalog him of “generic anime swordsman”
Hardcore smashboards fans will be pised because they didn’t choose Lloyd, though Sakurai at his presentation will explain why Yuri.
Nobody will complained from all music from different Tales games that will be included.
He has a purple hair so fits the color background theory.
How do you will react?
Sure, not going to expect a second Bamco character in a row, but hey, he'd be cool.
There's a distinct lack of swordusers that have a lot of multi-hit attacks (the only ones I can think of are
,
and
- TBF they have different uses for their multihits). Usually multi-hits are reserved for jabs, a special or two and maybe an aerial / smash attack (discounting Down Smashes for obvious reasons). Someone who's typically does a lot of them would be honestly rather refreshing.
Besides, I did get a very positive impression of him from his PXZ appearances, so hey, that's a major plus.
I don't know if someone has already brought it up but... didn't Sakurai say that the final character is gonna take some time to be revealed, but it's still gonna be this year? It might be pointless, but I translated this into it will come out later than usual but don't worry it will still come out.
It means that IMO it will probably be an end of october or even novemer reveal... unless they want to release it for holidays so even later.
Honestly, I just want to know who the character is and then forget about Smash for a few years, so I hope it happens as soon as possible, but I'm not much positive about it happening next week honestly.
"A while" is in this context intentionally vague, so it's a matter of waiting and seeing. I mean, "a while" could still be September for all we know since that would be 2 and 1/2 months (at least) removed from the Kazuya reveal / presentation.
It could be later on into October, November or hell even December, that I'm not disputing. But I'm leaning towards September since they've usually paired reveals into Directs (key word being usually -
's a notable exception due to his reveal being tied to Minecon IIRC).
