I'm going to keep talking about Phantasy Star cause y'all opened the door.
Phantasy Star has some of the best character design of any JRPG series ever (mostly because it's one of the rare JRPG series almost entirely set in space in and in the distant future)

So I heard this thread is talking about Phantasy Star now?
To my immense surprise, it seems so?
Rico is definitely probably the best choice gameplay-wise for a PS character. She just has so many abilities that she doesn't have to borrow from other characters to pad out her moveset that I feel like the real problem is that she has too much. 7 personal weapons, photon arts that she uses in her PSO2 and PSU-related appearances, a mag, photon blasts, 16 spells/techniques, various items, and her Dark Falz transformation.
Pretty much the only thing holding her back is that the story is so completely ignorable in PSO that some players were kind of confused when she appeared in certain endings, but I kind of feel like that's a moot point since she's still the focus of the story regardless of whether or not they chose to interact with it.
Spirit Hell is an illusion
(I still don't think Chun Li is happening)
Yakuza has seen bigger growth potential and crossover appeal with the west, but the Puyo series is still bigger. Between sales and unique Puyo Quest accounts it's at 27 million (not counting for sales they had when Sega didn't own it) against Yakuza's 11 million. It also has bigger merchandising appeal

Special shout out to this stupid fucking dragon which is by far the video game boss I have spent the most time fighting. Phantasy Star has a special tradition of reskinning this motherfucker five times a game and making you fight him until you want to stab your eyes out.
Next week. No 7-11 ads and releasing on Saturday in Japan seems very unlikely.
Chun-Li is really stuck in "Unique Secondary Third Party Character Hell"
Eggman is down there with her

Nah, next week. I can see the overview maybe dropping tonight, however.
Rico is probably the only character that would top Master Chief on my personal Smash hype meter (I know shocker!), but she's so unlikely that I don't have any realistic hope for her. You're absolutely right though, in terms of representing the entire breadth of the modern era of Phantasy Star gameplay, she is perfect.
I nearly had a heart attack when they announced PSO2 was finally getting a western release at the Xbox conference during E3 this year.
What day of the week does 7-11 update their Smash ads?
Maybe, but Nintendo basically never streams anything on Friday/Saturday Japan time.

This would be the best. Hype tonight plus gives streamers and content creators time to budget time properly.
The current Nintendo ads are supposed to be taken down on Sunday.
That lines up with what I expect, which is Terry's video being streamed with the update going up anytime Tuesday-Thursday next week.
PSO2 coming west (and it already being confirmed that it wont be solely an XBOX exclusive) is the main thing that makes me hopeful for any kind of PS content. I can easily see a western PSO2 release on Switch, especially since the Breath of the Wild cross promotion items already exist in the JP game, so here's hoping something or another happens for Smash. It might only end up being stuff like a HUmar or Alis Mii Swordfighter costume but dammit I'll take anything.
Funnily enough, Phantasy Star has always been primarily an Xbox franchise for me. Played PSO Ep 1 & 2 on OG Xbox, played PSU on 360. It's still surreal to me that I'll be able to play PSO2 on Xbox One this spring. Full circle.
Unless the Switch version has built in voice chat, I can't justify getting it over the Xbox version.
the second fighter's pass will be entirely second runs on franchises (ken doesnt count its fine).

I have a lot of memories of being bored watching my friends play PSO on the Gamecube back in the day.
He is, but Tails got stuck there way before Eggman. The doctor can wait.
Probably not, since voice chat isn't even a feature in the current JP version. If it's a built-in XBOX Live feature, then yeah, I guess it would be exclusive to the XBOX version.
Though PSO had a lot of appearances across systems, I still think it's extremely noteworthy just because it was the first global online RPG on consoles in general, and the only one on Nintendo consoles specifically for years and years through the GameCube version. Outside one or two JP exclusives, the reason to own a Broadband adapter for the GameCube was PSO.
Hey, here's a question with a fundamentally meaningless answer: when did they change Banjo's/Hero's release to "coming soon" relative to their release, if they did so? Not like you can use it as a calculation or anything, but I'm curious.
Come on; it's like you people already forgot that I leaked the second Sonic fighter!
I don't believe they did. Hero stayed "Summer 2019" until his release, and Banjo & Kazooie stayed "Fall 2019" until theirs.
Lol I'm not sure. I just wanna see more female representation in DLC spots.
Oh no. What if the recent signs are instead pointing to a Terry delay instead of an imminent release? What if they release a short update video apologizing for the delay?!
Terry, are you okay?
The eShop and Japanese site still say November. Whoever's in charge of the US site deliberately made the change, which is very strange.
Mysterious US Website administrator, please give us a sign things will be okay.
A few days ago people on reddit were complaining about the CSS being broken for Terry's and Banjo's cut ins on the DLC page, which was fixed. Makes me wonder if someone who does NOA's website stuff reads r/smashbros
They mentioned Gaf before. I'm sure they look at popular online communities/forums.
They're reading what we have to say right too I bet.
(Hi Nintendo!)
Joker video was released at 9pm eastern time or 10 I don't remember
Day light might move it am hour
If it runs on the same system as joker

Nintendo has proven time and again they don't give a shit about this.
I think BK changed to "coming soon" in a promo video/ad or something and it made everyone go nuts.
That was Joker; don't think we got something like that for B&K.
Over on Smashboards people are still going on about how two more character slots were "preloaded" onto the Smash site, confirming at least two more fighters
Wasn't there someone in this thread who looked into the code and found that this was not actually true?
Thanks

That was an error with updating the site after E3; they added Hero and B&K without replacing two of the placeholder slots.
4-player splitscreen was probably the greatest idea they could've had. Just amazing getting friends together to play in the same room.
They're probably just counting the "blade" entries that people mistakenly believed was a character codename. It's literally just a divider between currently existing sections. It means nothing for future content.
