My thinking almost exactly. I'd rather have a stage that showcases the different titans of Alrest. I'd go with the World Tree, spoilers be damned.
If it helps you feel better, the series doing pretty swimmingly nowadays will at least make him a soft lock for the next Smash, in such a case scenario.
I don't know about that. What if the next game comes out and they decide to promote its protagonist? I feel like this is Rex's last chance to be included unless he becomes really popular and stays in the next game.
there is also always the chance the next game ends up as a direct sequel, future connected did seem to imply shulks world will have more problems, unless they are just going to have the next game be in a new universe and melia saying she had a bad feeling about the future was just being ominous, this would be good for rex, because we already have shulk
I think this optimism may be misplaced. Xenoblade is a rotating door of protagonists, and if it starts moving too fast Rex could basically become a Gen V Pokémon where his initial "bad timing" is something from which he never recovers.
Chrom getting in is a good sign for Rex, In Smash WiiU, when they announced Lucina and Robin they kinda promised Chrom would get in next time and they delivered on that. Rex’s mii costume as an excuse of not being able to fit him in time for the base roster feels like the same type of promise to me. DLC 2 sounds like the perfect Opportunity for that.
"I suppose I'll get my chance another day" wasn't a hint that Chrom would be in the next game. It was a hint that he'd get a consolation prize in the form of Robin's Final Smash. Which wasn't enough for Chrom fans, so when he got enough votes on the ballot, SSBU introduced a feature where Sakurai's belief that he wouldn't be original wouldn't matter, and Robin's victory pose meant Chrom's model had to be virtually on par with fighters, that's when Sakurai decided to add Chrom to SSBU.
Eh, don't underestimate how very popular he is in Japan or that Awakening remains a fan favorite even with TH out there. And that trailer did potentially garner him support he otherwise might not have had. Now, I don't think his model was on par with the others. In fact, I'm still not sure it is. I think his model may be the worst fighter model in the game, or at least one of them.
True, but he still had some key features fighters had that assist trophies don't, like bumpmaps. And I'm not underestimating his popularity at all, because enough people wouldn't have wanted him to be a fighter without it.
And that’s a good thing
See people in the West. This is how you advertise and treat all games equally. I love it. And splitting even between the two games. I love the design of it.
There will still be "Here's how Elma can still win" posts even after Rex's reveal. Believe me.
High
often europe just needs some neat looking puzzles
You could probably retool Double Spinning Hit into a recovery.
I myself am considering the idea of Rolling Smash being his recovery. I mean, he leaps into the air for the move for crying out loud.
Only about as much as Back Slash works in Smash, which is probably how Rolling Smash is gonna work too. It's an area of effect ether move caused by striking the earth, so you'd better believe he's going to plummet if he's in the air.
We're still talking about that move? I was thinking Double Spinning Hit. It could even work like Air Slash and it's manual second input. Or are we saying it's a bad thing that Young Link has something other than a tether to recover with just because that isn't how Spin Attack normally works?
How is this even a question? Make it trip the opponent LMAO
