That's true. Although the West still has one more game with Rean coming, and Cold Steel is getting an anime, Adol still seems the most likely. PLUS we'd get Bryce Papenbrook in Smash 👀

I'm actually playing through Ys 4 right now (I started 8 before I got 4 and decided to go back), and I think he'd be a cool addition. Though if I had to pick a Falcom character, I'd personally go with Rean Schwarzer from Trails of Cold Steel, even though I feel like Estelle would be the more likely pick, hehe.

Still learning how to play as them but MAN are they fun so far! Switching between the two adds a lot to the game, and I'm a big fan of how fast Mythra is! Surprisingly, Pyra (and maybe Mythra) has jiggle physics. It's almost completely unnoticeable but I figured something like that might raise the rating. I'm also really happy with the music selection, we've got almost every battle and boss theme now. I think we're missing the Mega Rosa theme (which is good, I don't like that song), the final boss theme and maybe the battle with Jin theme? I don't remember. I wasn't expecting the Torna DLC battle music, but I'm very happy it's in! Also, Pyra and Mythra both get newly drawn art for their fighter Spirits! On the subject of the stage, I think it's a cute idea. I never really thought about what stage I wanted from Xenoblade 2 so I don't mind it. Azurda talks during battles, and one of the things he says is "My back, a Smash stage... What will they think of next?" which I think is really funny, hehe. tl;dr almost everything about this pack rules, I'm super excited to see the last two characters!!

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL MY GIRLS ARE IN SMASH I am so happy right now, they've finally added a character that I legitimately loved and wanted in the game... I would've liked Rex too but he's still part of the Final Smash and (I think) taunts, so YES

I think Sora is owned by Disney though, so I'm not sure if Sephiroth actually affects his chances. But I dunno. I'm pretty excited for this! I certainly wasn't expecting him. Here's hoping we get actual Spirits and maybe even Mii Costumes of Tifa (Brawler) and Barret (Gunner). We have 3 spots left. Assuming Seph does kill Sora's chances, Rex & Pyra/Mythra would be my number 1 pick, and I really hope it happens. None of the newcomers save Ridley and to an extent Joker were ones that I really wanted. Not to say they were disappointing! I like all of em. They just weren't high on my list, is all.

We got KH3 Kairi in the old render style! It looks really nice, to be honest. I always liked the old renders.

This time I should be able to join for Smash! I have CTR but I've barely played it so I'm not very good at it, hehe.

The Creeper and Pig Mii Fighters have floating limbs... I'm thinking Rayman might end up being a Mii Costume as opposed to a fighter. I'd prefer a fighter, sure, but it seems less likely now.

This character looks to be the most technical one so far, and yet they still look really, REALLY fun to play as. I'm sure I'll despise fighting against really good Steves online like I do with Min Min, Kirby, Pikachu and the Shotos, but for now I'm keeping an open mind. Also:

Byleth is one of my favorite characters to play as and the only girl we got in the first Fighters Pass. Fire Emblem character or not, people definitely overreacted (especially since we already knew we were getting 6 more characters after them). I think the backlash for Steve Minecraft is a little dumb too, considering how massively popular and successful the series is. He wasn't on my wishlist but it was bound to happen eventually!
