    Persona 1 & 2 got such a lukewarm reception in the west that we only got the second half of Persona 2. Meanwhile Persona 3 got two upgraded re-releases, two spinoffs, some anime, and probably gave the SMT franchise as a whole an extra kick.

    Part of the hype is that it sets the stage for the rest of the dlc, where previously “It’s all Nintendo’s choices” could mean some disappointing things

    Holy shit, this is actually the first time (or feels like the first time) it's hitting me that this thing is portable. Sure, Smash 3DS was portable, but I wouldn't call that a console-quality experience. But the fact that I can take THIS amount of content to my in-laws, or on vacation, or anywhere?! AHHH

    Do people generally know/get excited about every character included or announced for Smash? I feel like I have pretty broad game exposure and don't know/could not care less about a good portion of the Smash roster. But that's totally cool, because other people have entirely different sets of characters they care about. That's one of the things that makes the game great?

    I didn’t know who Marth was in melee

    I was very excited when he unlocked because “She looks cool”

    Hey does anyone know the answer to the following questions:

    How many people can play in an online game at once (is it up to 8?)
    Can one switch connect with multiple local players into an online match (SO like, Bob + Bob2, Jane420, Cindy69)?

    Dunno about the first, but with the second, you can have two people locally connect online to play a 2v2 against another group.

    I don't know if there's more than that, but there's at least that.

    Hesitant to do this because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment, but.... while you're probably 100% right, it is theoretically POSSIBLE to go up in hype from here.

    #1: Joker
    #2: Bram Stoker
    #3: Al Roker
    #4: Professor Oaker
    #5: DBZ's Goker

    Edit: Showker me your moves

    Edit2: What I was actually going to try to type before getting derailed was a legit step-up hype scale. Which would probably be....
    #1: Joker
    #2: Crash Bandicoot
    #3: Doom Marine
    #4: Sakurai
    #5: Waluigi

    If anyone has found Zero Suit Samus in World of Light, can you point me to the general direction I need to go to unlock her? Not that I can necessarily get there now (also fuck that Rayman spirit), but it would be nice to know what corner of the map I'm working towards. I assume it's near the bottom somewhere since I kinda remember that being space or something?

    Random side note, Buzz Buzz from Earthbound maybe one of my favorite spirit fights so far.
    It's a tiny Mr. Game and Watch that literally dies in one hit. It made me laugh so hard.

    It's so weird, I never knew that the Smash and Persona fanbases had such a relatively small overlap that so many of you guys haven't even heard of it. I mean, Persona even has a series of fighting game spin-offs that are relatively well regarded afaik.

    Trust me, for the people who are fans of both series, this is the dopest shit ever.

    Classic mode has UNIQUE boss fights?!?! DAMN.

    For a given value of “unique”. I’m fairly certain that each boss in classic is also featured in World of Light. Still, irs really neat.

    Persona 5 is hype. I should actually finish it. Also lol at so many out-of-the-loop people. The Persona series has pretty much had a presence at every E3 and even some other conventions I've been to. It's almost kinda like not having heard of Monster Hunter before.

    Also, because it's also been cross-promoted in Granblue Fantasy before:


    Persona isn't as ubiquitous as you think it is.

    No one in line with me to pick up Smash last night knew what it was either.

    This is probably exactly why they did it. The Persona series is about to get a nice bump.

    This does make me really hope they do an indie for one of the DLC characters. I think Hollow Knight would be pretty believable considering its Switch sales.

    I was really suprised at this dlc character reveal at first because I thought this was the game where characters shoot themselves in the head to summon a creature. Turns out that was only in one of the games and not in 5.

    In the sense that the net is cast very wide for newcomers, yes.

    But we can’t forget that Square is being weirdly stingy with content. If we couldn’t even get One-Winged Angel for the Midgar stage, I’m very doubtful of Sora’s prospects.

    I don’t know them all, but I do know a few from what I’ve played or heard of:
    Master and Crazy Hand from Smash Bros
    Marx from Kirby Superstar
    Giga Bowser from Smash Bros Melee
    Ganon from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    Galleom from smash Bros Brawl
    Balder from Bayonetta

    No idea who this joker is, but the reveal is exciting because i love it when characters come out of left field, and it opens up the possibilities for the rest of the future dlc characters.

    I never played a Persona game and I should correct that.

    Squares problem is so many people
    jointly own their legacy content they hardly even know themselves

    With Sora, “all they have to do” is get Disney on board

    We already know Shimomura is down, which also holds true if they wanted to get Geno

    The monster hunter comparison was well chosen. I bet most people on a random line wouldn't know what monster hunter was as well. They're similar series in reach, really.

    I lost out to Zelda as Ness, who knows how long I will have to wait to unlock her again.

    I started to play world of light. Probably one of my favorite single player smash game out of all of them. In other news, I've been playing for 2 hours now on the switch controller and I have the feeling I'm well on my way to having blisters on my thumbs.
