I want Guile as an AT.
You know, for the memes.

I'm ok with street fighter's AT being Phoenix Wright.
You mean Capcom, right? Because we have Zero already.

No, I meant that the inevitable third capcom trophy, that should be from street fighter, should instead be Wright.
This theme of "all stars all favorites" is excelent and all (Granted my favorite Belmont is Julius, but.. Konami isn't going to let Igarashi Belmont in, but Richter is easily in the top 5 Belmonts! (Julius - Trevor - Richter - Simon - Christopher - Solleyu - Juste)), but I hope that Sakurai doesn't forget to put the IceClimbers/MrG&W/R.O.B./Wii fit trainer/Duck Hunt Duo on this game, and that Young Ling/Pichu aren't the "no one asked for this".
What about Leon?
Exactly. Those who don't beat Dracula don't even get to be ranked.

The crown stays on the field like ROB's top, and you can't use it again until you get it.

Awakening vs Metroid villains.
Hayter definitely recorded new Snake lines, i heard a "There!" instead of "Now" when he activates the grenade.
Obviously Matt Mercer would need to record lines for Chrom but it seems they're just reusing Laura Bailey's clips for Lucina and not having Alexis Tipton take over? Could change in the final version.
Dark Samus looks so goood.
Also that Kombo of K. Rool tossing snake at the cannon ball that he shot before? Beautiful. He looks great!

Mercer seems to already have lines in that video. This is Matthew Mercer were talking about. He probably already made the voice clips before they even told him Chrom would be in the game and they need his voice line.
Also, what's been up with Laura Bailey? She's been giving up a lot of roles lately. Or maybe they've been taken from her. I'm still shocked she's not Chun-Li anymore after MvCI, especially when she voiced Black Widow in the same game? I dunno.

If I had to wager a guess, I'd say it's a mixture of her just giving birth to a boy, Ronin, and the fact that she seems to have made Critical Role her main priority these days.
So Fire Emblem Heroes music got into Smash.
Is Fjorm coming?
She wouldn't be in the right timeframe or priority bracket to get in.
Isn't that the preparation music for most fire emblems already?
That remix surprised me, but a pleasant surprise.
Heyyyy, if we can get this, then maybe Echoes remixes too.

game is rated E10+, not surprising.
E10+, guess I have to cross Senator Armstrong off my fantasy roster then.
So since Fire Emblem Echoes is being acknowledged… how about the summoner (or Anna using the summoning gun) as a playable character? Moves could involve temporary stand-like summonings of popular FE characters and thus include a lot more characters from the series than possible using only the playable slots.
That's Heroes. Echoes is the remake of the second game.

As cool as it would be to have a FE character with a different play style (personally, I'd like to see an axe user like Hector or a Pegasus knight user like Cordelia as a potential playable fighter), you just KNOW it's only going to add fuel to the fire for the people complaining about Smash Bros getting yet ANOTHER Fire Emblem character on the roster.
Especially since they JUST announced Chrom as Roy's echo fighter.
I could care less what the general fandom says, Ana with the gacha gun for specials and her axe incarnation seems like a good idea.

*Anna (Ana is a ninja in Diamond City)
Anna would unironically be a really cool addition just because she's just so recognized and ubiquitous across the series. I've heard talks of maybe the Black Knight being an Ike echo - dunno how that'd pan out. To be honest, I never expected another FE rep to begin with, still don't right now. But we shall see…
I think we're done with Fire Emblem reps but they'll eventually add a Three Houses lord as DLC.
Whatever rep they'll put, it certainly wouldn't be a non-lord/tactician so forget about characters like Jaffar or Tharja.

This feels so right yet so wrong.
Lemme elaborate - I know Nintendo would be silly to not milk this game for all its profits but having DLC for this game just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it's billed as Sakurai and his team giving it their all, to give us a game PACKED with content come December 7th.
I mean, other interviews have established they don't even consider DLC until the game is out, which technically isn't bad at all. coughSOULCALIBUR6cough
So like them, I won't even think about DLC until December 8th.
If some kind of Poppi pops(hah) out of it, I'm fine with DLCs :P
Xenoblade 2 is so awkward. People who wants Rex don't really wants Rex. They want Pyra.
Same thing to Tora, apparently.
Yeah, Rex is just the boring vessel to get every other character from Xenoblade 2 you like.

I want Rex, but what's Rex without Homura and Hikari? That's why.

I like Rex. Fite me.
I really don't like Rex, Mythra or Pyra personality-wise. For Rex the same is true about his dumb design, while the Blades I can appreciate despite "lol boobs." I would much rather have literally any other playable character. I think Tora is the the best-written and acted character, and the different Poppi forms are pretty fun so that'd be my top choice. But Nia + Dromarch would also be cool (with an obvious spoilery Final Smash), or Mòrag + Brighid, or Zeke + Turters Pandy.
Guess I'm of the opposite side of the spectrum. I like all the protagonists and I loved how each one of them stayed relevant to the end, unlike with Xenoblade where by the end only Shulk, Fiora and Melia mattered. Xenoblade 2 is also above the first entry for me, but this ain't the place to talk this stuff, so I will end it there.
I still think XCX is leagues above them both… I'd take a stage and music from that game any day. I really don't expect Elma or any other XCX character though.
From what I understand, Rex forms a deep bond between him and Pyra/Mythra. Can you have a blade without their driver?
It's complicated, both in those characters' specific cases and in general. But basically yeah the whole concept is drivers form "bonds" with the core crystals that unleash Blades, and the stronger the bond the stronger the Blade. Broadly speaking Blades can't be on their own but there are ways/exceptions plus artificial Blades.

Blades are AIs. They can fight by themselves just fine, but they cannot fully operate alone. And this is what the drivers are for, they unlock the full potential of the blade. The stronger their bond, the better.

Right, so for me personally Rex/Pyra duo seems more likely than Pyra alone and especially Rex alone, but we know the story behind the planning stages.
I haven't played XBX either but I wouldn't count Elma out completely….?
There's no way those characters would ever appear in isolation, but I don't think anyone was suggesting they would?
It makes sense that if they're going to be added after the game's release, they do through DLC. X2 is still fresh and recent…
! And because is inevitable that their smash is likely going to be Homura's ascended form with Rex doning his super cool futuristic suit, all the more reason. Having the later is already a big spoiler itself.

Just thinking out loud. Before the reveal I think some speculated Shulk would be cut in lieu of more recent Xeno protags.
I meant Rex without Pyra/Mythra or vice versa. The trio is kind of an obvious inclusion if they give the Xeno franchise more love. But I don't have to like it =P
Imagine if they added them…
! With Homura and Hikari standing next to each other.
Wouldn't be the first time they do this kind of thin. Remember the Mecha-Fiora trophy?
well to those who have played XC2, how would it work? Like would Rex do most of the moves with the two popping out for specific ones, always tethered like the Ice Climbers, a toggle between Pyra and Mythra, etc.?
Do we have any other examples of this in Smash? Seems a "battle couple" is going to be a first in the franchise.
It could work however they want. Rex could be the main fighter but the Blades come out as assists for different specials, if they want something safe. The other option would be to make it Pokémon Trainer-style with Rex in the background while swapping between Blades.
Rex but he's an Olimar clone
Lmao imagining Chibi-Rex right now throwing multiple mini-blades at enemies
Like pokemon trainer but the opposite, Rex on the field, the blades (Let's say Pyra/Mythra,
! and let's say Pandora to keep it to just swords, and only swap around the specials, but wasn't Poppy v3 also a sword user? Give v3's sword to V1)
! Down+B changes the weapon, like now Shulk's monado thing opens a menu. Keep the recovery for himself, maybe a Ice Climber like boost with the blade showing up and pulling you up, with the side B a multi purpose hook, and the neutral B and the smashes propper blade dependant. Kirby just copies Pyra's B.
What if now core crystals drop in the battlefield, each containing a random rare blade that then procceeds to launch a special on the opponent.
Would be cool.

That sounds really boring haha. Like a glorified Shulk clone really.
