A Min Min amiibo reveal with adjustable arms similar to the Guardian amiibo.
Sakurai reveals that Rex was going to be the fighter, but his insistence on having Rex wear either just shorts or scuba gear with actual trousers was anathema to the Xenoblade designers, thus Pyra & Mythra got the nod instead.
Yeah from experience, most people around my age enjoy more cartoony games, JRPG's or Nintendo ones, a good subset also enjoy dudebro ones but they're nowhere near the majority anymore, Nintendo and JRPG's have above them a pretty strong female playerbase that Cod or FIfa completely lack.
Protip: Stay off of Twitter. Twitter makes everything worse.
And yet THAT'S the place every company drops their big news...
I think what happened was, us millennials grew up to teens/young adults and thought gritty, mature games were the way to go. Not all of us, of course. I hated the gritty trend of the late 00s and early 2010s. I'm relieved we're finally back to having a lot of cartoony games alongside the realistic ones. And now, gen z is around there but they seem to appreciate cartoony games a lot more
The worst was what happened to poor Banjo. I'm kinda glad it took till Ultimate to add him because they got his design so right!
Smash actually does count those two as villains iirc so I don't think they're the best comparisons.
Who the hell cares if a character isn't 100% well received, literally no character ever has or ever will get that 100% adoration rating, just think about how much you'll enjoy a character instead of worrying about people who won't.
This E3 doesn't seem to be happening either, not to mention that Nintendo can easily just go "Hey, we only have 2 characters left, how about we stretch the hype cycles out so people end up talking about the game even longer before the final character's announced?" From a marketing point it's much better to stretch this out tbh.
Considering Sakurai referenced Xenogears in one of the alts he's absolutely gonna talk about the whole Xeno series instead of just XB2, especially how KOSMOS is 100% getting a costume
And even he got off lucky compared to the unfortunate fate of Bomberman:
I mean, Subspace Wario was pretty creepy. What with him kidnapping a child.
Which alt are you refering to? The only one I saw was the purple Mythra which was most likely based on Poppi QT.
If you took the title of the game away and just showed me the character, I don't think "Bomberman" would even enter my guesses for who that's supposed to be. That's how you know they messed that one up big time
1. Lucid- MapleStory
yeah well Smash is wrong
A double reveal is possible, I was talking about their releases.
As in a color scheme? Or as in actual KOS-MOS? Cause.....like...KOS-MOS hardly uses a sword, let alone a two-handed sword. The closest she's ever used is changing her hand into a blade. And like, where are the Gatling guns? The weapons she's definitely known for using quite commonly?
That definitely feels possible. You get the double reveal, release fighter 10 later that month, and then perhaps reveal the date of the (final?) Sakurai presents in the September Direct. Builds up momentum for both characters and still allows for some publicity come the late summer/early fall.
That very alt is what I mean, the colours don't entirely add up for Poppi but they match up with Weltall from Xenogears much better
Similar advice can be offered for 4chan and GameFAQs.
Some I’d like to see as bosses moreso than playable characters, and some I’d like only if their series protagonists were added first. Skull Kid and Wiley would’ve made the list if they weren’t already assist trophies.
That makes sense. I would assume the second reveal wouldn't be released until around September.
1. Nightmare [Soul Calibur] - Fighter
I mean, technically, yes. But those individual fighter songs are, like, 10 second loops.
This would possibly be the sickest thing Smash Bros had ever done.
Speaking of amiibo, it's funny how Pyra and Mythra's splash screen pose is actually fairly similar to their pre-existing figure poses.
Still waiting for these figures to finally ship, I love that Sakurai used them as reference for the splash screen as their poses are really nice. I wonder if the art for the fighter spirit will be the official art of these two poses.Speaking of amiibo, it's funny how Pyra and Mythra's splash screen pose is actually fairly similar to their pre-existing figure poses.
I’m not sure either. That’s Sakurai’s job!
It’d be a good a time as any for Euden though my gut tells me he’s not coming at all in a ultimate in any form.
Would that be our first mobile exclusive character to get a Mii costume?
Villains, huh? Let's see...
Well, he wouldn't be mobile-exclusive anymore after that Mii Costume
That's fair. The more I think about it, the more I COULD see Euden getting a Mii Costume. My main issue is that I feel like they'd have to announce it before Fighter 11. If they don't, then expect me to go ALL IN on him. Regional exclusivity be darned...
Space Invaders seems either invisible or else unwanted here, so I invite you to his support thread ^^

Considering how well Smash has done so far, and how well Fighters Pass 2 is apparently doing, I don’t think you have to worry about them worrying about focusing on a 2-year-old game. Everyone knows that the whole internet is basically waiting to see who each next character is and they’re going to capitalize on that regardless.
I feel like we're getting something from Dragalia, be it fighter, Mii, or Spirit Event. It's a decently large new Nintendo game, it's Nintendo's first-ever mobile-original IP, and it has absolutely nothing thus far. It seems rather conspicuous to me. Larger mobile titles and lack of EU presence could pose an issue, but a Mii Costume wouldn't have any issues. Still, the sheer unpredictability of Smash means we can't really shelve Euden completely.
Eh, I'm just happy to have someone else take the idea seriously. Feels like a LOT of people are sleeping on him, and I don't normally say that about potential Smash picks.
Yeah, I agree. I think really what I'm getting at here is how people are using precedence to justify a double reveal. Sure, we've always gotten one at E3, but we've also never had an E3 focus on a smash game that released as long ago as this. Or just one in this particular set of circumstances. It just seems a little hasty IMO.
