Just gonna put it out there that Fossil Fighters main hero is missing from spirits despite the series having other spirits (such as nibbles and Trex) its incredibly weird the series main protagonist isnt there

Isn't the main draw of that series the dinosaurs, though?
If they got a fighter, shouldn't it be Nibbles or T-rex?...

 

[TMNTSSB4]

don't make it weird by telling me to do it

let it get weird

 

[Deleted member]

i mean

it is


that is the right attitude
thank you

edit:
before anyone decides they wanna square up with me: eat my shorts

Being disappointed your character is represented in some capacity is an alien concept for me.
Real only disappointment for me is no Joshua Spirit but from FE I got Lyon, Nino and Hector; Shovel Knight got 4 Spirits more than I expected, of those include Shield and Specter Knight; two of my favorite Pokemon are in; and one of my most wanted characters, Wonder-Red, is in alongside his buddy.
I'm ginna enjoy using the heck out of Spirits in World of Light

 

[Pyra]

damn Diskun has a spirit now he'll NEEEEVER be playable

 

[PeridotGX]

There's this google drive folder with all of the Spirit PNGs

>Fawful Spirit

I was really worried he would be ignored entirely. Glad he's in at all.

The main protags still do a ton and are the main focus of the plot. Fossil Fighters is FAR more plot driven than any pokemon game. The dinosaurs are generally only there for the actual battles. So the hero is far more important to the game than say a pokemon trainer.
The hero also has an official name in the 3rd game (each game has a diff set of heroes)
But considering in ultimate Fossil Fighters got a song and some spirits and the main character isnt present is just odd and no ones commented on it really which is kinda surprising me lol

Diskun doesn't even look like he has moveable parts to his body. How could he be playable anyway? What would his moveset be like? It's not like Game & Watch where he has a bunch of his own games to draw from.

 

[Pyra]

oh my god there's a ryan reynolds spirit

 

[TheCJBrine]

Fawful Spirit Battle: Battle against Iggy Koopa who has max rage FURY, yet starts at 0% damage.

Fawful would be a better Mario RPG rep than Geno, prove me wrong.

That seems to be the only Pokemon spin-off Spirit...
Do you think it was mostly only added thanks to the movie coming out?

OH?
OH HE WOULD NOW?
HUH?
HUH?

Well you're right-Fawful has appeared in many more games with much bigger roles and has a ton of moveset potential.

 

[Onua]

Weirdly absent spirits atm (that are first party and not 3rd party)

> Porky
> Sylux
> Fossil Fighter
> Adeline
> Magnus (assist is gone too)

idk if im missing anyone but these are the oddest exclusions right now

 

[StrawHatX]

Fawful was great. Best character in the M&L games.

Yes but does the protagonist fight him/herself? Or is it the dinosaurs? If there was ever a fighter character it should be the dinosaurs. Even the Pokemon Trainer just uses Pokemon to fight and he's only there to switch between three. Otherwise Charizard would just fight alone like he did in the Wii U.

Would most Kirby fans riot if Adeline got in before BWD?

 

[Peeton]

I thought he was a spirit....

Magnus is who I mean, forgot to add quotes

 

[lightdrago]

An Aegislash, Arcanine, AND Hydreigon spirit? Along with playable Lucario, Greninja, and Incineroar, Sakurai has got great taste in Pokemon.

now where tf is best starter line Turtwig spirit?

 

[Idon]

Wow you are one consistent poster.

Pretty sure Magnus's Spirit was listed in the pastebin doc

And no, the Yarn version counts as a variant...

[Graizen]

My god i hate flu.
sneezing alot...

Some smash news?

 

[Deleted member]

Oh OH something just dawned on me. Concept: DLC fighters bringing, like, 5 or so new Spirits with them but they all get Spirit Battles for free, you don't need to buy the Fighter itself to get the Spirits.

Every starter should have gotten in tbh, it makes me really annoyed Chikorita is the only Johto starter present.

 

[Deleted member]

So lemme get this straight.

I can choke hold Lucas, a small child that has lost most of his family, and be able to just end it all for him by snapping his neck with pure ease, releasing him from the torment he's dealt with.

Yet Mythra is a no go.

I mean I'm glad Pyra is OK and I'm more leaning towards her, but even then, huh???

 

[Luigi The President]

That it does.

That it does...

I still think Deathborn is a very valid addition to this list since he did have a trophy in Smash 4. Espically since were getting spirits for Baba and Bio Rex, which are... not that popular F-Zero characters

 

[Idon]

Just let me play my characters.

 

[Pyra]

Wha?

neat little freebie.

I've been kinda thinking about them occasionally tossing a bunch of spirits in an update every once in a while

Honestly, I feel the opposite. All my favorites (Cyndaquil Line, Sceptile, Weavile, Decidueye, Lycanroc) are absent, plus I still don't like Incineroar.

Wait who says Mythra's a no go
