Timing just doesn't work either. Elma's biggest chance was back in Smash 4 when Corrin was added as a promotional character. Second would have been Smash Ultimate's non-DLC roster. After that there was just no chance for her - they were gonna go with XC2 cause it's more recent.

It's a shame cause Elma would have been a more unique fighter but I knew she was done for her after she didn't get in the base game.
the only chance elma now has is if next smash comes out after xenoblade x2

As much as I've never liked her design, it's weird that I'd still be more annoyed if it were Rex, so at least there's that. Plus more Xenoblade music is always a win.

Woohoo! I think they were my most wanted characters. I always believed solo Pyra/Mythra was possible, I'm glad they went that route.

Smash 6 needs to go to a western dev if Sakurai wants to keep pretending JRPGs are the only genre that exists...

I was worried when it seemed like it was just Pyra by herself, but a duo with Mythra is great since at least there's some of the core concept of the gameplay there.

Mythra's design is awesome fight me

Not on Smash though cause I dropped it immediately and can't play and now I will have to reinstall it and actually learn it.

Well, I'm just happy I managed to finish a game before it was included in Smash. Good music is a bonus too.

Can I get some clarification from experts on whether Mythra's underwear is showing through her outfit, or if I'm just seeing things and looking for another reason to hate these ridiculously shitty character designs even more?

I'm just glad it's not Rex. Well, he's mostly not there anyway.

Them shouting out the names of their level IV specials when doing them will never not sound funny to me. Not that I'm gonna see Final Smashes a lot anyway, but I feel like it should've been you-know-what.

Wish it was Elma but finally a character that I'm actually interested in as DLC for smash. Season 2 has been mostly garbage until now which evens it back up.

It not being Rex is great though.

Not Elma or Poppi, but at least we got the best realistic Xenoblade 2 choice. First character this pass I actually care about, so I should probably get it now.

Honestly surprised they didn't tone down the ridiculous size of Pyra's chest. The cringe factor will probably keep me from ever playing her.

Definitely glad it's not Rex, and tbh I'm kinda here for Mythra!

Sakurai heard all of the moaning about anime swordsmen, so no more of those.

Nobody said anything about anime swordswomen though.

It's Xenoblade 2. Practically everyone is maximum anime, fanservicey, pandering otaku bullshit to the max.

Yet people go all "lol salt stay mad haters" to defend their pandering waifus and then go "ugh shit design" with Rex.

Like, some people just can't be more transparent even if they tried.

All the women in the history of games and this is the choice
I'm glad it's not the ugly dude protagonist tho
This fighters pass is an absolute skip

They aren't about to anger the target market for buying her off the eshop

This was beautiful, not only did Smash only get about 5-6 minutes of screentime, but it was a character that would trigger Smash fans beyond belief. It was a good day today.
