I don’t have much time to watch the whole thing but I’ll try to catch the tail end part if I can. It’ll be around 11:30-12:30 pm/am my time I am thinking. It starts at 10:30 I think.
2nd game has three guest Nintendo characters too: Chrom, Lucina, and Mecha-Fiora.
I have zero idea who KOS-MOS is, nor have I played any of the Xenosaga games even though I've heard of them.
Your best bet is to watch it at the tale end. Even if you don't catch it live, the fighter reveal would be reuploaded to other outlets to where you'll know if its there.
That’s good. This is around of the time when everyone gets busy.
It's a tactics game with some spice thrown in for the combat since you have to do more than just choose "attack" and watch enemy health go down. But yeah the real draw is the crossover aspect and fanservice. In PXZ1 you got Frank West teaming up with Hsien-Ko, Ulala thrown in there, Megaman X talking with Kite. Chris and Jill, Chun-Li, yadda yadda.
Matter of fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't KOS-MOS the basis for Pyra/Mythra/MechaFiora's design? I mean, I might be wrong.
I remember Alex Kidd being some sort of summonable partner too.
She is very much the inspiration for Fiora/Elma/Pyra/Mythra yes.
Samus, Elma and Roy.
I’d include those three plus Palutena, Captain Falcon, and a rather strange tag team of Male Byleth and Female Corrin. Idk why
Link and Samus easily
If so, she kinda would have alts for all three of them.
Ehh I'd prefer not. Even though KOS-MOS appears in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 her main game series is still Xenosaga. Plus those alts would spell the death of seeing Rex & Pyra/Mythra as playable DLC and I don't want that lol
Oh yeah...you're kinda right.
I doubt we’d see any excessively cartoony/anthropomorphic characters like Sonic, Inkling, Octoling, PAC MAN etc. just humanoids with realistic (or at least anime) proportions
Oh, I thought Alex Kidd and Opa Opa were summons on that game or something.
Yeah, but all of SNK was new to Smash. It takes away from the overall appeal of adding new universes and series to Smash when you're just adding for Xenoblade content (and like, there was actually a really sizable amount added in base game compared to most other franchises already).
Since the aesthetic thing is... a thing.
Different situation I feel. Every single Xeno- title is wildly different from each other with the only thing to bind them being thematics and such. I mean, they're not even under the same IP holder (Square for Xenogears, Namco for Xenosaga and Nintendo for Xenoblade). It'd be weird to label KOS-MOS as the rep for all of them when she first and foremost reps Xenosaga above all else.
I think that was the prequel, Namco X Capcom. Klonoa was in that one too
Oh, ok then.
I surely have wanted to play the Project X Zone duology for quite a while.
It all boils down to presentation though. Should elements of her design be from her traditional Xenosaga design AND be considered as a Xenosaga rep, they I honestly don't see the issue here. I mean, Xeno series as a whole has different storylines, etc. Kinda like how every Final Fantasy and most of the Fire Emblem games are their own standalone.
Oh yeah, Xenosaga fits, but not if you start throwing in extra Xenoblade stuff on top of her. It kind of messes with the presentation.
I will try to start with the second game when I get the chance then.
Going by that, she should have her design and Smash content completely void of any correlation with the Xenoblade series. In other words, stay 100% loyal to Xenosaga content.
If I remember correctly, Ulala was a summon and would then summon a bunch of Sega characters, and Opa Opa and Alex Kidd were among them
Again I have nothing against KOS-MOS, but I don't think she would gel well with the VGA's audience.
I will never understand the rationale for excluding Shulk from PXZ2.
Can't say anything regarding PXZ2, but Alex Kidd was most certainly NOT in PXZ1.

Smash fandom pre-Pass:
Me right now, trying to relax by doing stuff from my classes and doing some Christmas decorations:
So we're all gonna look like Bearded Jack by the time post-pass content starts rolling out?
Oh, ok then.
