When this guy was first shown I was a bit mad but now I like him. He is a pretty funny fighter and is a cool bonus. Although I do kind of wish they left him free forever just to show that he is just a bonus. Can't say I like his moveset to much. Pretty funny character and I do like him, but would have preferred someone else.
Surprising character and it was pretty cool waking up the day after TGA and seeing him. I had no clue who he was but when I heard he was from Persona I got interested. I still haven't play any Persona but I can definitely see myself playing one in the future because of his inclusion. I think his moveset is pretty interesting and love how he has a gun. Pretty good character and a good start for the pass.
I've never played Dragon Quest but I think Hero getting into Smash just makes sense. Dragon Quest has been around for a long time and has been pretty popular. I think him getting included got me to try out Builders 2. I love his moveset and how it's focused around mana, also really appreciate his alts. Great character probably was my favorite of the pass
I haven't play any Banjo game. (I seem to be noticing a pattern here) That said, I have always wanted to and the only reason I haven't is because I don't have an Xbox. If Banjo-Kazooie came to the Switch I probably would have bought it. Like Hero, I think these two deserved to get in and I'm glad to see them make it. I like how there moveset was a bit simpler compared to the other fighters. Great character and love that he's finally in and probably would have been my favorite if Hero didn't have his MP system.
Who would have thought, I haven't played any of Terry's games. That being said I don't think I will in the future. While the other characters interest me I was sort of disappointed with Terry. It was cool learning a bit about SNK, but honestly I'm just more into Platform fighting games than traditional ones. Not to hate on other fighting games but I think I just prefer the movement in Smash Bros. His moveset is cool but defientaly not for me. I do like his stage though, the walls are really cool. Overall, disappointed but I understand why he was added and respect him.
For a change, I have played Undertale so seeing it get some representation is cool. I think this is the best way it could of been done and it set up Mii Costumes coming with music. Nothing really bad to say.
Why did they add Marth to the game again? Nah, I'm just kidding but I am conflicted. Byleth is a weird character to end off the pass. We definitely shouldn't be looking for patterns but considering they had to that point used only 3rd parties from new series, it's no wonder that I and many others were surprised by this. I have played and loved 3 houses. (I need to get back around to that Golden Deer route) Byleth looks interesting and I'm glad they're representing more than just swords with the moveset. I think Garreg Mach might be the best FE stage yet so that's cool and the music will be awesome. Overall, while I like Byleth, I think it's a bad way to end out the pass. Considering the reactions to some of the other fighters I guess there might not have been a way around either the final fighter being a bit disappointing or the rest of the past seeming dull.
Cuphead: I'm glad we're seeing more Mii Fighters like Sans and I hope it keeps up in the future. It's sort of like having a mini fighter. Currently hoping for Quote, Hat Kid, and The Knight. (I wouldn't mind seeing them be characters though.)
Overall I think the pass was good but the ending was a bit disappointing. I'm excited to see what the other 6 fighters will be and I'm glad to see first party back on the table for fan speculation. It seems the only fan rule left is no spirit/AT upgrades. Have a good one you guys, I'm going to go back to lurking and will pop up sometime in the unknow future.
