Honestly, not really. If you look at the top player builds, a lot of them require very little blade switching at all. A lot of people make Rex and Pyra Pokemon Trainer 2.0, but it's not a particularly accurate depiction of Xenoblade 2s combat.
Hyper optimized endgame builds for superbosses and challenges isn't an accurate representation.
How about those cutscenes conspicuously lacking any blades beyond the protagonist's signatures?
Monado arts weren't a good fit for smash so Sakurai reimagined them as auras. He didn't say "**** it the monado doesn't fit smash, have shulk fight with his scrap sword"
My point was that switching blades isn't really that important to what makes Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade 2. I personally think that a positioning based moveset with affinity is the better representation of what Xenoblade 2 is about, that and Blade Switching would be way too complicated if both were in the same moveset, and Blade switching isn't really that important.
Actually auras are a pretty apt description of the stat-boosting kind. All that needed to be done was a little tweaking, and some creative liberties with new versions that aren't all that out there if you think back to "the Monado bends to your will". New powers in the original tend to come when Shulk really wants something in the moment, so who is to say in Smash he wouldn't run into situations where he wants to jump higher or knock people away better?

The thing about Shield is that, well, in Smash it's something everyone can kinda do on their own. Though in roundabout way, the art can kind of fulfill it's original purpose in blocking otherwise unblockable moves via reduced shield damage.
Gramps model is surprisingly high quality.

looks exhausting
nah min min was probably the other one meant for e3
Like I said, best bet is if it's residual from E3.Don't think Rex and Pyra would be announced at TGA, it feels more like the place for a third party reveal. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though
That would be an ideal final three imo, I love MH and Xeno 2 and have respect for the Gaiden series.
theres no such thing
well there in lies the thing. people think rex was meant to be in the base game but all sakurai really said was it was too late to add him. he never really said onw way or the other. but the same was also true in regards to arms
DLC characters don't show up outside of their boards. Some people don't buy all characters after all.
I thought he actually did comment when talking about the Spring Man assist? Could be wrong though. Either way, it seems unlikely Rex was intended for round one. Given Nintendo's...priorities, he very well may not be intended for two. As for why they'd pick ARMS over Xenoblade at this point...I'm not quite sure. Especially with more seemingly wanting Rex.
Then they do someone different if the DLC isn't bought like with the Cuphead Mii Costume.
some spirit battles do change with dlc.
well theres the thing we dont know enough about the selection process to think they did. surely odds are nintendo have been suggesting characters from all their big games
Could be a decision from nintendo. Or Sakurai thought that the unique concept of arms would provide an unique character with an really unique gamestyle. Which turned out to be true. Althought we got quite a lot of "distance demons" lately.
what about something like where he and pyra burst through the floor like at the beginning of the game?
