It's a good song, but I probably wouldn't have even found it within the giant wall of Terry songs.

HWYR if Sakurai announced that he'd add "everyone's favourite genie!" before adding the red guy from the Game Genie box?
En. Raged.

HWYR if Sakurai announced that the ARMS rep would be the only fighter released, saying that it’s due to complications from COVID-19?

That would be REALLY hype.

HWYR if Sakurai announced the codenames for the other 5 FP2 fighters, and they ended up being:

"doll" = Voodoo Vince
"key" = Dana from Solomon's Key
"pig" = Bad Piggies
"genie" = Akinator
"moon" = Literally just the real world moon.

Ticked off, NGL.

HWYR if we got a PreMiium costume of Abe from Oddworld with music from Oddworld?

That'd be OK.

HWYHR if there was a 3 Houses Spirit Board event instead of Tetris 99, and Tetromino was Challenger Pack 5 instead?
I'd be happy there was at least ANY 3H content in the game.

On that note, HWYR if Anna from Fire Emblem was FP5 instead of Byleth, and this was how she played?
Intro: Same intro as all the other FE characters.

Stance/Idle 1: The Trickster idle animation from Awakening, with her signature gesture.

Idle 2: Anna mimics her promotion pose from Awakening.

Idle 3: Anna mimics her render pose from Warriors.


Notable Palette Swaps:
-Heroes (default)
-Trickster (Yellow)
-Outlaw (Red)
-Merchant (Green)
-Shio (Blue)
-Path of Radiance (Orange)
-Hot Spring Scramble (White)
-Thracia 776 (Green)

Walk: Anna sneaks mischievously.

Jog: Anna skips along the ground.

Dash: Anna’s run animation as a Trickster from Awakening.

Damage: Anna’s damage animation as a Trickster from Awakening.

Jump: Anna jumps using one foot, and then twirls slyly.

Crouch: Anna sits down, constantly tapping her sword on the ground.


Weapon of Choice: Anna uses a variety of weapons at her disposal.


Jab: Anna quickly slashes twice with her sword (6% off, small knockback), flurries with it (2%-4% off each hit, small knockback) and finishes with a twirling uppercut (7% off, OK knockback)
Forward+A: Anna spins her sword, hitting the target twice (8% off, OK knockback)
Down+A: Anna slides her sword under the target’s feet (5% off, small knockback)
Up+A: Anna’s Trickster finisher from Awakening (9% off, OK knockback)

Air+A: Anna stabs on both of sides of her with sword (8% off, OK knockback)
Air Forward+A: Anna stabs forward with her lance (12% off, OK knockback)
Air Back + A: Anna quickly slashes three times with her sword (9% off, OK knockback
Air Up+A: Anna stabs upward with her lance (13% off, OK knockback)
Air Down+A: Anna spins downward multiple times with her axe (16% off with a meteor effect for free, OK knockback)

Dash Attack: Anna jumps up and slams back down (11% off, OK knockback)
Edge Attack: Anna disappears in a puff of Warp Powder and slashes the target (8% off, small knockback)
Get-Up Attack: Anna dispenses 8 gold as she frantically gets up (1% off each, small knockback)

Smash Moves
Forward+A: Sunder; Anna holds her sword like Marth’s Shield Breaker, and stabs forward (17% off, OK knockback)
Up+A: Anna jabs upwards with her lance (24% off, medium knockback); this charges and is used extremely fast, but leaves Anna with a bit of endlag.
Down+A: Overrun; Anna slashes in a 360 spin across the ground (27% off, medium knockback); she is surrounded by winds that blow away opponents not caught in the hitbox.

Grab: Anna grabs the target with a Warp stave in her left hand.
Pummel: Anna pokes the target with her sword (1%)
Forwards+Throw: Anna warps the target and launches them forward (9% off, OK knockback)
Down+Throw: Anna warps the target and spikes them (12% off, OK knockback)
Back+Throw: Anna warps the target behind her and launches them (8% off, OK knockback)
Up+Throw: Anna warps the target and jabs upwards at them with her sword (11% off, OK knockback)

Special Moves

B : Steal/Black Market; When B is tapped, Anna gets out a bag and runs around out of control, in which pressing A has her charge at the target and steal 15 Gold (10% off, OK knockback; she can also steal the opponent’s item). When B is held, Anna can purchase one of 3 weapons with the Gold she stole; this can be canceled out by shielding.
B + Forwards : Lance Jab; Anna dashes forward with her lance.
B + Up : Rewarp; Anna teleports herself a long distance (slightly more than standard teleport recoveries) in the direction the player holds the control stick.
B + Down : Helm Splitter; Anna readies her axe, and walks forward for7 seconds as long as B is held down. When the time is up, she attacks with her axe.

Final Smash: Anna-ttack!; A light glistens, and piles of treasure appear under any opponents who make contact with the light (8% off). The trapped opponents are then taken into a cutscene where a swarm of other Annas run towards the real one, and then maul the other fighters thinking Anna is among them (60% off, devastating violence on sale!)

Gimmick: Black Market; Anna can steal Gold from other fighters (which become Coins on Mario stages, Rupees on Zelda stages, or Rings on Sonic stages) with a tap of B (or she can earn up to 5 at a time, either though combos or K.O.’s). She starts off with 50 Gold, and the most she can carry is 200. When she has enough required Gold, she can buy one of 3 weapons via a menu that pops up by holding B.

The weapons she buys (which are upgrades to her starting weapons) have durability that deplete with use, similar to Robin’s Levin Sword and Tomes.

Her staring weapons are:
-Bodkin; a small dagger used for quick but weak attacks.

-Lance; an ordinary ance used for stronger basic attacks (Side B does 16% damage, OK knockback)

-Hand Axe; a small axe that Anna throws and returns to her (Down B does 13% damage, OK knockback). This does heavy shield damage.


With 50 Gold, she can buy:
-Iron Sword; a more basic yet serviceable sword. By tapping B, Anna’s Neutral B becomes Wrath Strike, in which she can perform a powerful slash by pressing B (17% off, OK knockback), using ⅓ of its durability.

-Iron Lance; a more powerful lance than the basic lance. Lance Jab travels nearly 1.5x the distance with the basic lance, using ⅓ of its durability.

-Iron Axe; a heavy axe that can’t be thrown. Helm Splitter becomes an attack where Anna slams down on the ground in front of her (21% off, medium knockback), using ½ its durability; this can nearly break shields instantly.


With 100 Gold, she can buy;
-Fólkvangr; the personal weapon of Alfonse, one of the main characters of FE Heroes. Anna’s Neutral B becomes Sol, in which she turns the sword into a pillar of light and slams a large area in front of her (23% off, medium knockback). This uses ½ the weapon’s durability.

-Leiptr; the personal weapon of Fjorm, one of the main characters of FE Heroes Book II. With this lance of ice, Anna’s Side B distance is the same as with a basic lance, but makes up for it by freezing opponents on contact (20% off, medium knockback). This uses ¼ of the weapon’s durability.

-Nóatún; Anna’s personal weapon in Heroes. Her Down B becomes Night Sky, in which Anna charges faster for 2 less seconds. Once the charge is complete, she slams down with extreme force (31% off, far knockback), creating a shockwave that attacks around her (12% off, OK knockback). This attack instantly breaks shields, but deals less damage (11% off, OK knockback). Regardless, this attack uses ½ the weapon’s durability.

Taunts
1: “Tee-hee!” Anna performs her trademark pose while holding her sword backhanded.
2: “Cha-Ching!” Anna’s victory animation from Awakening.
1+2: “Here it comes…” Anna glares forward with her trademark pose; the glare is taken from her critical hit portrait from Awakening.


Winposes
1: “Violence is on sale today!” Her victory animation from Awakening.
2: “Who’s next in line?” Anna mimics her artwork pose from Awakening.
3: Anna gets chased to the right by an army of pre-Awakening Annas with pitchforks, running away with Bullions.

Applause: Anna empties her bag, only to find nothing.

Icon: Fire Emblem series icon

Boxing Ring Title: Secret Seller

Victory Music: https://youtu.be/o0l6BSZURKE

Kirby Hat: Anna’s hair. When the player holds down B, Kirby uses the required Neutral B instantly (Wrath Strike at 50, Sol at 100). The most Gold he can carry is 100.



Classic Mode: Thank You for Your Patronage! (Fights against Smash 4’s DLC characters; all rounds are Stamina Battles, with 100HP for all fighters, on Ω stages)
Round 1: Mewtwo on Kalos League Ω (Victory Road (Ruby and Sapphire))

I'd react the exact same way I did to Byleth. Mild disappointment.

HWYR if Tetromino was the final SSBU DLC fighter, and revealed in a bait-and-switch trailer that at first seems to be for another FE rep?

Not only would I be kinda disappointed if neither Sora nor Crash preceded them, but I think the fanbases of certain characters would implode.

HWYR if newcomers (both base game and DLC) got their own artwork, just like Smash 4?

Couldn't they have used the opportunity to fix the inconsistency in Robin's FS? Eh, whatevs.

(Skip me, I can't think of a HWYR right now)

Okay, then...HWYR if there was a Spirit Event based on the Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC (the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra)?
Uhh didn't you already ask that one? If so, my reaction would be the same. Sorry Urshifu fans, but I'd be glad he's deconfirmed.

HWYR if, like my last question, Sakurai said the rest of the DLC was cancelled due to COVID-19, but suddenly...



Phoenix Wright is rivaled as Challenger Pack 7? (Note: Sakurai clarifies later that 8-11 are still happening, albeit delayed)

Would be suprised, but happy for Sakurai to take a break.

HWYR if the Solar System itself was a fighter?

That would be awesome!

HWYR if instead of making Mario Kart 9, they made a crossover with CTR, with almost every character from NF (sans Fake Rilla Roo and the Spyro gang), every non-crossover character in Mario Kart history (so no Link, Pac-Man, Villager, e.t.c. - Miis can stay through), the returns of a variety of obscure characters from both series (yes, even including Mr. Crumb) and the choice to play with Mario Kart or CTR physics (no limits, a Mario character can have CTR physics and vice versa, and a CTR physics racer can go up against a MK physics racer), with Mario Kart having better stats but CTR having more tricks and tech to pull off?

Dude. Take my money (unless it's microtransactions).

HWYR if we got a Koopa on a Kart from Mario Kart as a playable character instead of Piranha Plant?

I would be laughing at the ridiculousness of this.

HWYR if we got DLC Pack 3 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and it's this?

Could be interesting, I would be cautiously optimistic.

HWYR if Sakurai responded to the Waluigi requests with "Waluigi needs to be in a Wario game first"? (similar to how the director of DMC responded to the Dante requests by saying that DMC should come to a Nintendo system first)

Then if he does get in one, I'll at least enjoy him more in there.

HWYR if Min Min got her own game?

Eh, that'd be OK

HWYR if at the end of Nintendo's 2021 E3 presentation, there was a trailer that makes you think Rosalina will get her own game, but it's actually a bait-and-switch and the actual character getting their own game is Waluigi?

Bittersweet. They both deserve their own game.

HWYR if Mario was cut from the next game, with Sakurai's reasoning being "he's too generic"

Awesome! but... why the Shake King? like, why not Tatanga? Captain Syrup? Ashley?

HWYR if the Stork was the second Yoshi rep?
He's always been underrated. (Thankfully I would have both Syrup and him as playable.)
I wouldn't mind the stork.

HWYR if Sackboy was a fighter in Smash?
