I was thinking Riki was an option as well due to him being a Nopon because Nopon are essentially the mascots of the series at this point, and would provide a very different feel from a human character, bu then I remembered his Assist Trophy.
I would say Dunban, who also appears in Shulk’s FS but
Same way he climbs with a bad arm: in the coolest way possible because he's Dunban.
Nene from Future Connected is probably the best Nopon aside from Riki, but she's also there to give Riki more character development and how he was a father. Her comic relief doesn't detract from her character either.
Yeah, I'm going reiterate and say it's likely due to time constraints. Most voiceovers in Ultimate are already carryovers from previous games (with few like the newcomers, Ganondorf and Zelda getting new ones) - it's especially apparent with Lucina / Robin, who didn't get new voicelines for when they beat Chrom.
"I don't have time for logical errors" Dunban says before he summons scrapped mechon under his feet to jump off of
Agreed. We already have a fighter, an Assist Trophy, the most iconic area in the game, and a decent amount of Spirits. There's more to the Xenoblade franchise than just the first game.
I feel as though Xenosaga would be countered as a different franchise though, despite Xenoblade being a spiritual successor.
I count her as Xenosaga, not Xenoblade itself. Her XC2 artwork has the Bandai Namco copyright on it, which suggests Bamco still owns her
Personally, I doubt it. KOS-MOS seems like a beloved character, but her home series is almost entirely forgotten beyond the Xenoblade fandom. She's kinda like Bamco's equivalent to Morrigan, who isn't in a good spot regarding Smash either. The Fighter's Passes have all had a certain theme for the passes, usually a specific game or series of games (Or an entire company, in Terry's case). When your series is as obscure as Xenosaga, I have some heavy doubts, no matter how popular the character is.
KOS-MOS at the Game Awards this year, believe it.
While I don't think it's reasonable to add it all retroactively, I think the game could benefit from adding special victory quotes whenever a character gets a new vocal performance. For example, I think simple lines like these would do wonders for characterization:
(after beating Bowser): "I did it Mario!" (after beating a character from Fire Emblem: Awakening): "Never give up on your future [CHARACTER]!" (after beating Min Min): "Woah! Noodles are no joke!"
I count her as Xenosaga too, but She is in Xenoblade 2 after all, so she's at least related to the Series in some Capacity
I dunno about that. A single game is a lot more specific than an entire company, especially seeing as Xenosaga isn't even owned by Nintendo. XC2 would require no negotiation, no to mention Nintendo's been promoting it for good long while now.
They also have been doing the Dunban meme for ages. I don't think it means anything personally.
AlsoYou mean aside from
Wait I'm kinda confused by the Wording, but I agree kinda. Any OG character from Xenoblade 2 would have no negotiations. Elma wouldn't also and she's also in that game, even if that's not her Original Game
I agree about Elma being the best choice but
Yeah. Rex and Euden can both get in, if that's what Sakurai and Nintendo want.
What those two games even have to do with each other?
Crossovers for XC2 and crossovers for Smash probably operate on vastly different standards.
I don't think it's reasonable to add them retroactively either - the game I referenced, Dota 2, still has it with some older heroes: they've had the same 5 enemy-specific responses for years. Still though:While I don't think it's reasonable to add it all retroactively, I think the game could benefit from adding special victory quotes whenever a character gets a new vocal performance. For example, I think simple lines like these would do wonders for characterization:
(After beating any of , , or ): "Don't tell me you've lost a step!" (After beating Min Min): "Wait a sec, Chun might be interested in those ARMs...." (After beating Mewtwo): "What twisted sorcery created you? Some strange machine?" (After beating Ridley): "Don't. Come. Back." (After beating Kirby or Jigglypuff): "Hah! That's enough floating around for you!"Kinda makes me wonder what would happen if they operated on the same standard.
I politely disagree with this conclusion. In the case of ARMs, choosing Min Min over Spring man (or Ninjara by the sounds of it) due to the directors preference was not a big deal because A. They at the end of the day represent the same franchise/game and B. They were both 100 percent owned by the same company in Nintendo. In Kos Mos's case, she would have a moveset, spirit board, stage and final smash almost definitely pulled from Xenosaga, meaning she would represent Xenosaga. She would represent Xenoblade 2 in the same way Lloyd Irving would secretly represent Soul Caliber, because he made a guest appearance that one time. And as Sharklord already said, if Nintendo did approach Monolith for a character, they would have to switch either Elma and Rex, two characters completely free to use in the game and who actually profits Nintendo to advertise (drum up more sales of the Xenoblade series), to KOS MOS, a character as Rie stated that is owned by Bandai Namco and would require licensing fees. I'm not saying this hypothetical scenario is impossible, I'm just saying I find it extremely unlikely, considering at the end of the day Nintendo is a business first.
They are Both Nintendo Owned JRPGs, Though one is a Mobile game and One is on the Switch
Probably, I'm just Saying she's an Option though. It's likely she doesn't even show up in the Game at all.
I forget to add as DLC character lol.You mean aside from
If we're going to be talking about themes, we haven't got anyone from the wild west yet so uh...
As I said, they can coexist in the Fighter Pass.
If this is true, are you saying we will never be able to buy the Costume Separately? Does this mean the Costume will be held at $25 Ransom forever?While you guys are discussing Xenoblade, I wanted to bring up an observation I made the other day. Apologies if someone had already brought this up at some point but it's pretty interesting to me.
When Steve came out I had noticed that the in-game newsletter graphic showcased the Ancient Armor alongside the current characters. Immediately this made me think about Rex - originally I assumed his costume didn't matter and that Nintendo would do whatever they wanted with him, but this got me thinking about how maybe Rex is a more significant part of FP1 than I gave him credit for.
So as you can see, FP1's graphic also showcases Rex. I'm not trying to say this is the be all end all for Rex's chances, but it's making me consider how Nintendo may see this costume as a bigger deal than we do. The fact that they deem it significant enough to promote as a selling point alongside the main attractions has me second-guessing my original opinion that the costume doesn't matter. I still don't think this would be a major obstacle if Nintendo did want to add Rex after all, but it's just interesting to take note of and may imply that this costume means more to them than I initially anticipated.
Dillon could be fun so long as he wasn't Sonic 2.0 (I don't think he would be though).
