Yeah, Krafton managed to snag Tango and Hi-Fi Rush entirely, but they've stated they didn't want to push it by asking for any other IPs. At the very least, the interview says Tango has a bunch of ideas planned so they won't be reduced to just the Hi-Fi studio, but it still makes sense; Hi-Fi was a surprise hit that generated a lot of goodwill, so it was the easiest IP to aim for
you mean getting captured and almost killed?
M doesn't really even need to be an Echo Fighter to be honest.
No? Their special moves are based on their Blade Specials, which aside from Burning Sword and Sacred Arrow, are displays of power that they do on their own.*
but that’s not literally what they do when they’re separated from Rex
For the character itself? I wouldn't. She can be used in other roles like Mii Costumes or Spirits, but she shouldn't be the new Zelda for a couple reasons. The first is that her proportions are so different from Zelda that it would force gameplay changes for the sake of it, which might end up being good for the character, but at face value, it's a problem. The second is that it's an entirely different vibe from any of the potential Zelda designs they could go with, and for that reason alone I'd stay away from it being the only incarnation of Zelda.
Independently from Rex doesn't necessarily mean "that one story beat where they're captured by Malos", it's powers they have without his input. And yeah, I might be contradicting myself a little here by saying that since I said Rex probably empowers the Blade Specials, but to be honest, in the Aegis's case specifically, it might just be a case of him giving them the confidence to use these abilities. Mythra is pretty much always depicted firing off Sacred Arrows by herself in cutscenes, and Pyra is shown to be able to do it too despite it not being her domain.
then you need to check what the word literally means
and because they’re so damn easy to develop.
Zelda's design in that game is basically just a chibified version of Smash Zelda already. It basically cements to me that I don't want Zelda's design to change.
tbh I think people were pretty receptive to clones rebranding as Echoes in Ultimate, although some of that may have to do with the lack of cuts in ultimate as clone characters were often lightning rods for roster frustrations. Dark Pit for example was widely hated, but removing Dark Pit wouldn’t have brought back that beloved cut veteran back in or popular newcomer that didn’t get in.Echo fighters are just clones. They’ve been here since the very beginning with
They’re not going anywhere, and it’s ridiculous people are so vicious towards their inclusions.
I have seen everything child. I've seen the whole of the future for the human race until the heat death of the universe. Countless hopeful and tragic acts spiraling into a great swan song that spans the ages. Neither before nor ever again shall I experience true beauty such as this.
It's weird because on the one hand they caused clones to become more widely accepted, but on the other, people don't really seem to want more of them. Or at the very least, suggesting a character that isn't a variant of the base character in some way immediately gets people up in arms. Like, legit, I think the only uncontroversial Echo Fighter picks are Dry Bowser, Gooigi, Octoling, Proto Man, and if applicable, Bass.Echo fighters are just clones.

oh lord he thinks he’s funny
N and M could easily just be costumes cause.... y'know. In the end...
I think N would be harder to make as an alternate costume since his psyche is so shattered it's hard to see him acting like the much more well adjusted Noah even in this lighter context (especially if he's being pulled from before the game's ending).
I find it interesting that more and more people are prediction Noah over Mio instead of the other way around. I wonder if this has anything to do with Noah being the more popular (if statistically insignificantly) of the two.
I had an idea for a Xenoblade Moveset that involves the different classes. Grounded attack use Swordfighter, aeriel attacks use Zephyr and the specials are each of the other party member classes
Used to think so to. Then I just realised how damn popular Funky was and I want him done justice.
It's because he gets top billing between him and Mio. You start the game following him. He's our lead character, he's the one with Lucky 7, he's the one who is N. Like Noah and Mio are deuteragonist but if you had it narrow it down to a singular main character, then it's Noah.
Retro City Rampage or River City Ramson?
True, and I think I initially disliked the idea of just Mio for this reason, but with so many people predicting her and with Pyra/Mythra existing it really wasn't the hill to die on, and I do think there is some logic to including her instead of Noah.
Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think solo Mio is impossible, far from it. And I think her weapon of choice could make her more appealing to Sakurai.
they didn’t have to give up Rex they had to give up them both being on stage at the same time
Even then that might not even necessarily be the case. Basically every Switch 2 leak points to it being significantly more powerful than the Switch, so it might actually be able to handle Mio and Noah at once.
that would also help the protagonist of astral chain
I think that was part of the reason why Rex was dropped in favor of having Pyra/Mythra as a transformation character instead.So far in Smash duo character have come in 3 flavors
Two characters with the exact same moveset acting in tandem on the stage at the same time.
A dedicated special move to swap between characters
A smaller puppet character with a simplified moveset that can act somewhat independently
oh also Duck hunt if you want to get technical, but the dog and duck together are mechanically very much the same character.
so far I think the main limitation on duo characters on the field on the same time is not so much hardware (although that played a role for Snash 4) but that the two characters would need to be visually cohesive in actual gameplay. Ice Climbers are largely identical in movement and both short so they don’t take up space and it’s easy to follow what they are doing. With Rosalina it’s obvious that she’s the main fighter and that Luma is the puppet due to the size difference.
If Noah and Mio (or any proposed duo character) are both on the stage at the same time, it might a bit visually cluttered as they would be the size of a regular average fighter. This does not make them impossible, but I just want to mention that the visual visual readability aspect is important.
Just for the record I don't think N and M should be echoes, Just getting the Amiibo costumes is good enough representation for those characters
I may have liked that a few years ago, but I'd rather they opt for a new iteration of the series at this point. I would like to play a new smash game not built upon the bones of Brawl
So that explains why Intelligent Systems won't release an Echoes game for Genealogy of War
I mean. They brought back Another Code, they brought back Endless Ocean, they got Metroid and Pikmin in stable spots after like eight years of nothing, they remade Famicom Detective Club after multiple decades and then gave it a sequel... Honestly, F-Zero revival doesn't seem that far off
