well if you think about it rex can wield a large variety of weapons each with its own arts, and while its likely he'll just have the aegis sword the fact that he has so many arts makes it arguable that he has more moveset potential

its a matter of opinion really
Makes sense but still wouldn’t interest me much. But it’ll be fine either way.

So we all agreed that involving more Blades than just his main one (Pyra) would be too much work for Smash?

Agreed there. Even if it weren't, there's also the question of which Blade(s) to choose, since there are so many of them and they obviously wouldn't incorporate all of them into Rex's moveset.

Well they could go into spoiler territory...

Warning: Spoilers from Chapter 7
And use Pyra/Mytra, Roc and Nia

Pyra+Mythra sounds plausible since they wouldn't need new moves or animations for it, but I wouldn't hold out hope for anything beyond that.
Spoilers for Chapter 7! Be warned...
Maybe they could also add Pneuma as a temporary one-time-per-game transformation? If swapping between Pyra and Mythra is going to be Rex’s Down-B (Just for example), then I’d think that swapping between Pyra and Mythra would be by lightly tapping the B button whereas turning into Pneuma would require holding the B button. And I would mean lightly tapping the B button in the sense of using Ryu’s Stage 1 Focus Attack as opposed to his Stage 2 or 3 where you have to charge.

That sounds like a bit too much of a spoiler. And before anyone says that Smash doesn't care, remember that for everything that they did spoil there's still plenty even later in the game that they never even mention.
There's nothing about Zanza or anything related to him anywhere in the game.

Though I haven't actually played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 yet (too poor to get a Switch at the moment), I am in full support of getting Rex into Smash. Just provided he brings Pyra with him.

if Shulk was in SSB4, then Rex is most likely to be in smash for switch.

Well...


With how soon the new Smash game will get released, I fear Rex and Pyra might not have been considered during the roster consideration process made by whoever directs it.

Greninja was chosen before X&Y was even first revealed. Who knows how long Smash has actually been worked on. And even if Rex & Pyra came out too late to be included in the roster, there's already DLC.

I just hope this Smash is actually brand new and not a port.

The dev team would have been well aware of other new games on the horizon and they would've likely considered a Xenoblade 2 character a long time ago. I feel like Rex is almost a lock for this game.

If am I not a supporter already, that needs to be fixed.

Rex & Pyra were made for Smash.

Just gonna call that they are gonna get in, and be like the 8-11 character revealed. I think the game is totes coming out in 2019 and we will see them revealed then.

Definitely one of my most wanted characters. I wonder how they will handle Mythra, hopefully not just a final smash.

What's funny is when I ran the Shulk thread back for Smash 4, a lot of people would say "It wouldn't happen." Then we got Shulk. Now we have a sequel and Nintendo have been far more forthcoming in supporting the title (far more than Xenoblade 1 was), and a character with a lot of potential. I'd wager Rex and Pyra have a strong chance.

By the by, the one thing I liked about that support thread over the others is we got to talk a lot about the game which was great. I remember when everyone called Fior Seven. Now we have the Unnamed Core Crystal to deal with.

I hope Rex gets in.

Especially with New Game +, I’m probably going to come back to this game a bit

You should. There is a lot of stuff you'll pick up on in the earlier chapters after having beaten the game. The game also sets up the whole situation in Mor Ardain which can be easy to miss your first time through (was for me).

Would love for Rex to switch between Pyra and Mythra. Even if it's just Rex & Pyra, I'll still be happy.

Well then. Now, I'm going to dump a list of songs I like to see included in Smash 5. My biggest hope is not that any of them are in the game, but that none of them are butchered to 2 minutes (unless of course they are 2 minutes or less).
Battle!!
Incoming!
Counterattack
Still, Move Forward!
You Will Recall Our Names
Death Match With Torna
Bringer of Chaos! Ultimate
Mor Ardain - Roaming the Wastes -
Mor Ardain - Night
Spirit Crucible Elpys
Tantal
Drifting Souls

I want Mor Ardain to be the main XC2 stage. I got nothing against Gormott, but I expect Gaur Plains to return. It would be redundant to me that two stages from Xenoblade are of the early game areas.

I want him so that one of his taunts can be "THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME?"
And then Pyra would say "Don't forget me!"
The Ardanian soldiers need to be referenced somehow please that's all I ask.

This.

I don't want one of the best lines in the game to fade from obscurity.

YEZ! If Shulk can steal "Reyn time," then Rex can steal the Ardainian Soldiers lines.

Honestly, I've never played any of the Xenoblade games (own the first game but, haven't played it yet) and honestly, I'm not a fan of Rex's design. That and I can only think that Pyra would have to be in the background for the most part during each battle.I'm not against Xenoblade getting another character but, I think there are better options. Admittedly, Rex is the most recent so, who knows?

Nah, Xenoblade 2 would have been well into production by the time the roster for Smash Bros Switch was finalized assuming they started development on Smash Switch after the Bayo and Corrin DLC released in early 2016. Remember this is the man who was shown concept art of Greninja back in 2012, Sakurai would most certainly have been privy to any game shown off at the January 2017 Showcase.

I haven't played Xenoblade 2 yet, but feel free to add me to the supports as I plan to eventually, and I'm a huge Xenoblade series fan and would love to see Smash give it some more love <3

I don't know if this guy will be in Smash Switch or not, but I do know one person above all else who would be against his inclusion.

(Honestly I really like the video this gif came from)

I get it, because Rex sounds close enough to Bio Rex.

The one dinosaur ****hole that Falcon has to deal with in every race.

I was actually making a reference to the whole "Falcon hates anime" joke seeing as that video the gif came from was about Falcon refusing to lose to "anime" characters, specifically Shulk.
