I've never been a waifu guy, but Pyra/Mythra is as close as I guess I'll get to that. I'm so pumped for their inclusion. I recently ranked all of my favorite fictional characters ever created and they nabbed the number 9 spot and were my highest ranking females. (If I had to chose one, I'd probably side with Mythra. But that's the great thing: their a 2-for-1! Well technically....nevermind. I won't spoil this 3 year old game for you that haven't played it.) I'm bummed they can't keep Mythra's original design, but I understand why they can't.
I hope that their gameplay follows how they work in their game, with their special moves being assigned to the lettered buttons and the B-special being able to build with successful standard attacks. That would be so satisfying and amazing. It would work perfectly too because each blade has 4 special moves, which lines up perfectly with the 4 directional variations of Smash characters' B-specials. However, this only works if switching between them is done using a B-R combo (like Inkling does to refill ink).
Overall, I'm hyped. Pyra/Mythra, Banjo and Kazooie, Steve, and the two I never knew I wanted - Terry and Sephiroth - made for solid DLC. I feel like this second pass has been more...predictable in who was chosen. I think we can bank on Rayman or Crash, which would be legendary, and someone like Ryu Hayabusa to finish up the pass. Overall, good stuff. I'm happy.
