that is quite a stretch
youre only late if its after the character gets in
well as rex is a nintendo character so its unlikely hed have the same licencing issues as a third party
A character from Three Houses is looking more and more likely, too.If Nintendo characters are coming as dlc after the fighters Pass, Akira Howard and Rex/Pyra are definitely the top contenders
I've been lending my support towards Rex and Pyra for Smash Ultimate for quite some time now, but I had never come here :-/
Top three most likely first-party characters are definitely Rex & Pyra, Byleth, and Akira Howard. No questions asked. I wonder if they might skip over Rex though since it's been so long. That would be unfortunate.
dont say things like that
Funny way to spell Rex&Pyra, Edelgard and Akira Howard ...
...Why?
Probably because a lot of the Smash community wants to avoid FE newcomers as much as possible. Remember the last Smash game when they announced Corrin?
Yeah, but Corrin was promoting a game that hadn't even released overseas when he/she was revealed. At least TH had a chance to come out and have people warm up to it before throwing a character into Smash.
I don't know that user's general thoughts of Fire Emblem, but I do know he absolutely despises one of the most likely candidates of that game. Hint: it's the one who most closely ressembles my current avatar.
Huh? That's a little confusing.
Well, you can't please everyone as far as the roster is concerned...
It's been four years. Are people still scarred by Corrin's inclusion?
because as much as i enjoyed it i want to avoid edlgard like the plague
Wow, harsh~
Ok .... nice to know .... but that means what exactly?
doesnt really mean anything just a style choice
That's not guaranteed.
While i think out of all the characters that could be promoted from spirit to playable Rex is the most likely, he is far from a lock.
I feel like the spirit thing doesn't really work for Rex since the fighter spirit for them most likely would be "Rex & Pyra" similar to Banjo & Kazooie and there is no spirit of that--only Rex and Pyra separately. In other words, there is currently no spirit of Rex & Pyra together. I have hopes for Rex & Pyra but it's tough what with the lack of first parties in the DLC thus far and the Mii costume is kinda iffy. The desire to put him in the game was clearly there though.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Mii costume is exclusive to the Fighter's Pass-a pack that will still contain plenty of fighters, stages, songs, and spirit battles that aren't rendered obsolete by a future fighter being included.
Yeah that's why I said it's iffy. It is unique in that it's tied to the Fighter's Pass, but it still exists and who knows if Sakurai finds that "good enough". Another knock against Rex and Pyra is that they already have a lot of spirits in the game, so the spirit DLC board would have to do some serious reaching.
Sakurai didn't think Ness having Lucas-based custom moves or Marth having not one, but two Roy palettes (one being his yellow SSBM alt) was.
I don't know if those are comparable... I'm just saying, for example, Goemon got that Mii costume and that's probably all he's getting. Undertale got the Sans costume and Megalovania. So potentially Sakurai sees the Rex costume the same way. He got the Mii costume and the music; XC2 is good to go. That's what my concern is.
Are we strictly talking Fighter Pass for inclusion? The fighters after that don't have to be beholden to the same standards.
No I'm talking after the Fighter's Pass. I know it's the "wild west", but I'm still trying to keep things grounded for myself.
