Joker: 2/5 no from me, not a big fan

Hero: 1/5, never heard of him before Smash

Banjo: 3/5, not a fan, but at least I had heard of him beforehand

Terry: literally who/5 :troll: just not a fan of his reveal

Byleth: 0/5 don't care for FE at all.

Just not gonna buy the pass TBH. Not worth it for me.
If you're not familiar with the games in question, then it's easy enough to look into most of them. Dragon Quest XI has a free 8-10 hour demo on the Switch eShop, Fatal Fury/King of Fighters games are pretty cheap on the Switch (about $9 if they aren't on sale, I think), and Youtube provides a ridiculous amount of gameplay videos, reviews, etc.

I understand that it might be tough to learn about Joker if you don't have a PS3 or PS4, and for Banjo, you'd need a Nintendo 64, Xbox 360, or Xbox One, but the other three have highly-regarded games on the Switch - assuming you own a Switch, you could at least give them a shot.

I do own a Switch, but at this point it's not worth it to me to give games a shot. I can barely afford expensive cards for my decks as-is, I seriously cannot fathom spending $100 of dollars of games I more likely than not will drop after a few minutes.

Besides, outside of a few games, not really big into Video Games. Trading Card Games are where it's at baby!

I'm sure the people who were expecting only a couple more fighters for post-pass are extremely relived.

Totally wasn't expecting six more, holy ****.

I'm just a little sad they're not coming today.

What exactly could be holding them up? They're 99.99% done.
Probably was the only way to avoid it leaking. If they were already cued up, someone might have spilled the beans again, and it looks like Sakurai did not want that happen with Byleth based off of what he said.

Odds are a mid-February Direct is coming and will shadow drop them then.

Literally already said this, but that was recorded in November.

They likely did this to get us hyped up for the Nintendo Direct, which coincidentally, is likely gonna come to us right before or after Byleth gets released at the end of this month, wherein they'll reveal the first character of the pass just as the first one is coming to a close.

Either they reveal them here or we may be looking at E3?

Like I said, Dragon Quest 11 has a free demo, and Terry's games are about $9 each. (I'd recommend King of Fighters '98 if I had to pick one) That's not hundreds of dollars.

At the very least, you could look up Youtube videos for the games to get an idea of what they're like.

But they're releasing on the 28th of this month, though.

:ultpiranha:: 8/10. Caught me off guard, then I had fun with Planty (Viridi did aswell)...tho sadly I don’t use him a lot like that. Still use him for fun and overall still enjoyable
:ultjoker:: 10/10. Started out not knowing who he was or what the **** a Persona 5 was, then I checked out an entire playthrough of the game accidentally (I only wanted to watch a small bit...but then I was invested as ****), then played him in Smash and loved him, then played P5 and watched the anime right after beating the game and loved him even more. Now awaiting P5R and P5S while currently watching the P4 anime...yes...also he’s my main now alongside Pittoo (Pit is no longer a main...as he has ascended that ****...he’s now stronger and better than such a simple name like that)
:ulthero:: 0/10 for me not giving a damn, but when it comes to killing myself Vegeta style he gets a 10. I ain’t really got anything to say cause I don’t care for him and he was the least hype for me...so...dots are really nice to make periods with and stuff...dot dot dot
:ultbanjokazooie:: 9/10 cause he was hype. Didn’t get an extra 1 to make a 10 because of the fact that...**** it this man gets a 10 simply for being Banjo and getting to live in a new game for once
:ult_terry:: 7/10. Didn’t know him at all...but Psycho Soldier gets a 3000/10 because I absolutely love those songs
:nessecho:: 10/10 cause Sans
Myleth: 0/10 cause he lame
Fyleth: 10/10 cause she bae and the better of the Byleths

Where were you when Byleth saved Smash Ultimate 1st parties? I recorded my live reaction. Fair warning, there's language and the first half is pretty much dead silence--up until Byleth's gameplay

I was gonna record myself but my mic was cutting off sound to the presentation and I didn't have time to fix it.

Y'all didn't miss much, it was just me happily screaming "BYLETH" and laughing hysterically.

I figured there would be a season 2. It just made sense.
I was pessimistic because the Smash fanbase tends to overhype, but man, I'm so glad to be wrong. At this rate, I don't think I'm ever gonna need another Smash game again: This game is the gift that keeps on giving, my word.

Real talk, this pass was incredible.

Joker introduced me to one of my favorite games of all time, Hero got me invested in Dragon Quest, Banjo has been a LONG time coming and I'm extremely happy for the fans, Terry is an extremely hype character from a great series of fighting games, and Byleth comes from one of my favorites games of 2019 and FINALLY represents the weapon triangle from the series.

And then you get six more fighters after this. Strap in boys, except don't. Go get a life and wait for them patiently like I should have done

Considering 3H wasn't nearly as controversial as Fates, it's quite a welcome change of pace.

So today we learned,

First parties, especially promotional picks, are game for DLC.

Jon Gamexplain is always right.

Verge and Sabi have no idea what they are doing at this point
How many times i gotta say that these attention whores aren't credible and never will be? Smh.

Also since everyone else is doing DLC opinions I'll do the same

:ultjoker: 6/10 I like persona, not a fan of Joker. I would have preferred P4 or P3's Mcs. Getting my ass whooped by his meta ass probably took a point or two off tbh

:ulthero: 7/10 I have no personal attachment to this character, or dragonquest tbh. But I can understand the significance behind his inclusion, and his playstyle is pretty unique.

:ultbanjokazooie: 7/10 I liked Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie back in the day, but i've never really wanted banjo in smash. He's a pretty cool legacy character but i was never a massive fan of him even back when I played the games.

:ult_terry:11/10 Above perfection. Finally a character that I liked back when I was a kid, and still like now from multiple franchises that I like, with amazing gamplay to boot. This is the kind of DLC that I've been asking for since Smash 4 Bayo. The pass was worth it just for Terry

Byleth: 5/10 It was a safe pick, and even though I like three houses Byleth was definitely lower in priority than Lord Dimitri in my eyes. Glad that he got in over Edelgard, though so that's a win in my book. He doesn't look particularly fun to play from what we've seen but that may change before release.

:ultpiranha: -2/10 **** this *****

Oh yeah. Rabbids.

But no Rayman.

Granted this could be an X and Zero situation where Zero shows up without X but now we got an X costume.

Still interesting, though.
