    it would fucking surprise me but I can see the glimmer of possibility that it could happen yeah

    who would they pick though? I think it'd have to be one of the skeletons, and it would seem out of character for Sans to actually fight people, so probably Papyrus?

    So apparently they changed Mythra's design for Ultimate to tone down the T&A and that of course set off a barrage of screams about censorship. But god damn the new design is a million times better.

    I can find fault with the intent behind the changes, but not with the results. It’s one of those things where if that were the design from the start, nobody would have a problem with it.

    On a side note, I really need to get over my issues with XC2. I haven’t even played the damn thing, and yet I keep managing to work myself into a stupid funk whenever it comes up. I need to learn to just ignore it instead of feeling like I need to talk about it to justify myself to myself.

    Thats a definite improvement.

    XC2 could definitely benefit from some second looks and redesigns to make them look less fanservicey and actually more cool like that.

    This design, besides being a welcome change to the T&A fanservice design of the original, also just plain fits Mythra's character better.

    Undyne seems like the best option for an actual fighter but on the off chance it were to actually happen, I think they'd just make Sans an assist trophy.

    It didn’t make it into a game (till now) - it was from a promotional video

    It looks worse, but I guess they needed to do it in order to get their targeted rating in the US. I wonder if this change is present in all versions of the game.

    Specifically it's the song from the January 2017 trailer! Which was included in the game's soundtrack, similar to how the trailer songs (sans the Poledouris piece, naturally) were included for the HD Sampler in Twilight Princess HD. The full remix goes in a lot harder than the sample Nintendo put up

    In addition to the remix, Smash also has the original version of the song, which sounds like this:

    Square Enix couldn't be arsed to allow Sakurai to use more than two Final Fantasy songs in the game, and as far as I know, there's not a single SE spirit, out of well over 1000. There's not gonna be a Square Enix DLC character.

    According to the leaks, there's actually two Squeenix spirits. They're:
    Cloud, and...
    ...also Cloud.

    That said, apparently there's just shy of 1,300 spirits in the game. Presumably each one has a special fight attached to it. That's absolutely amazing.

    Not all of them, I think. I’d assume that Spirits that can be acquired through fusion (like Micaiah and Cardboard Box) can’t be acquired through spirit battles.

    "It's not just because Kirby is my favorite, he can warp!"

    "But what about these other characters that can warp?"

    "What? Who? No...not them. Spirits, you see. Just Kirby."

    It might be an issue if Kirby wasn't beloved by all, but as-is there is no reason to complain!

    The Bayonetta one makes sense. If Purgatorio was already filled with Galeem’s light, stepping into that dimension would be suicide.

    I mean, if we go by their respective games then yeah it would make sense for other characters to be able to avoid it (endgame Shulk is pretty OP).

    But it's not like he picked Daisy to be the survivor.

    Nintendo is sometimes oddly selective as to what kind of outfits get censored or not. They've edited Mythra here, but characters like Camilla and Tsubasa, both of who look like they might pop out of their outfits with a light sneeze, are left alone?

    I will say Mythra's new design does look good. Black leggings can make any outfit look better.

    Here's a video that shows every character's visual evolution throughout the Smash series. In general it looks like Ultimate desaturated the colors just a teeny bit compared to 4, but it's still nowhere near the muted, grimy look of Brawl.
