it is weird that people think Banjo is more likely because of Papa Geno's source when the same source heard of the other leaked characters

Pyra and not Mythra would be a travesty, but on the other hand Mythra as her own character would perfect the roster.

Incineroar is way better than Pyra or Mytrha. Though basically every character in XB2 is better other than Tora.

Also an interesting post I saw. I've seen it touched on but for me it's one of the strong points for the mural. Not listed here is how brilliantly Kazooie is reacting to Snake's Nikita.

Never seen a "peaceful" Isaac.
Never seen a "doll-sized" Geno.
Chorus Kids WITH the Conductor is an incredibly rare sight.

Just feels like a lot of care have been put into all the new art.

So Sakurai did roll with a Xenoblade newcomer but they used one half of the main duo instead of the protagonist of the most relevant game at the time and during the time when their design wasn't finalized.

Like what a goddamn twist that would be

If we get Pokemon dlc

It will be a gen 8 Pokemon releasing in 2020 for ultimate


Hopefully sakuria would be able to see who the most popular is too
The likely scenario in my head is that I don't think Incineroar is part of the base roster, possibly part of a similar scenario as Chrom with Smash 4 (hence why people have heard of his inclusion in the game in some form) then I can only see him or another being in the game as DLC

Pyra without Mythra makes me not believe it.

Rex is allow to have both Pyra and Mythra when he fights. By simplying tapping up during a fight. I feel they would keep that.

Also it would be super ironic that Mythra is the echo and not Pyra lol

It seems like he's implying it's Pyra fighting on her own.

Y'know if they really did roll with Solo Pyra Echo Mythra isn't impossible as DLC. Unless they just make all 3 alts of each other

I've always liked the idea of solo Pyra / Mythra with no Rex.

Pyra being the main one and Mythra being the echo makes sense. From a marketing perspective, Pyra is the main character and the one people know. It doesn't make sense from a lore persepective, but I think Sakurai would go with the character people know more as the main one.

I don't mind Pyra as a Smash character but not mentioning Rex seems sketch. No way are they not a duo character of some sort.

That's very easy to implement, hell easier than the whole Rex driver and blade thing.
Not that I don't disagree but the roadmap for how that would happen would be super weird. Like Sakurai would have to hate Elma and X for him to completely pass over Xenoblade X and Elma which I feel Monolith would push more

I know.

Which would go against XB2 combat and I feel Sakurai would keep them together. I know Pyra fights in cutscenes tho.

Even weirder that Pyra is the original and Mythra the Echo for lore reasons lol

I was thinking they would probably do something similar to this in their implementation but I was thinking Rex would be the original and Pyra as an Echo with a Mythra alt

Pyra is the poster child for Xenoblade 2. I mean she's right there on the damn cover. So she is an obvious pic over Mythra. But I don't see Sakurai including Pyra without Rex. From both a gameplay and story perspective, the blades are more powerful the closer they are to their driver and vice versa.

Pyra does fight solo at several points in XC2, and she's one of the most prominently featured characters. That being said, I imagine the driver-blade concept was established early on in the XC2's development, so it would be interesting to see Sakurai go around that.
