It's weird because I don't think I actually feel like I'm nervous. It only really dawns on me when I realize that it's physically hard to talk because I'm out of air, so I have to turn the phone away from my mouth to take a breath.

Yeah, I understand that. Practicing convos with somebody else might be one of the ways to deal with that.
You got Sora, Scrapz! KPI reference is probably a complete convo killer, though.
You have the methodology right on more than less of the others, which is more than enough when they were meant to be unreasonably ambiguous. In particular, EX#2 was specifically meant to mislead into Burning Rangers or Mighty Switch Force 2, though the actual answer is more twistedly mundane.
EX#3 is the one which is kinda farthest away from your answer, though it points out exactly what its surface is. And EX#6, well... many games have cubes, so that one is probably just the hardest.
At this point you may have some luck with another look at original set, which I'll copy here for reference. Out of BGBW's... possible guesses, I'd say the last two got the methodology, and funnily enough, O#3 take did nothing but explain the surface too. What's with the threes?

Weirdly enough I have little problem stopping often enough for inhaling while talking, on phone or otherwise (probably making myself look dumb, but that's a given), but any long ceremony makes me lose air, probably since there's no improvisation involved. Any idea what differentiates the phone for you?

I rarely post on here just lurk but I've been a singer for a long time and I have a few tips! Doing some deep breathing exercises to get the most out of your breaths is a good way to not run out too quickly. Just thinking about your breathing during the day and forcing yourself to fill your lungs more helps a lot. The other thing I would suggest would be to try to picture commas and periods when you speak, taking a quick breath when you reach a comma and a longer breath when there is a period. I struggled a lot with rushing while talking which makes this difficult, but practicing it by reading something you're familiar with out loud helps a lot. Hope some of these might help!
wonder how much they could get away keeping the religious stuff for Isaac if he were to get in?
Uuh.. Belmonts are in the game throwing crosses, holy water and what-not
Never happening lmao. It's a game about a naked mentally unstable 5 year old fighting against his nightmares before he suffocates to death locked inside a chest. Before it got released on 3DS, Nintendo even blocked it for "questionable religious content". It's rated M for a reason and you can't dodge it.

Golden Sun sounds like a way different type of RPG than I'd been imagining.
Ooh... I naturally thought this was about Isaac from Golden Sun (and I never played GS, so I assumed it dealt with religious themes). Yeah, that one Isaac is completely out of bounds lol
Now you're gonna tell me you call Ryu by "RAY-YOU"
I'm playing Sonic Mania and having a good time.
Then I did a Special Stage, outran the UFO, and then fell off the stage.
So now I'm not having a good time and want to restart the entire game and god I cannot stand having to find the Warp Rings in the levels and permanently losing out on them.

My brain thinks of three completely different Issacs in video games whenever I hear the name and it never fails to amuse me
I ran into that too and after a lot of frustration eventually decided to just play to the end. Much more fun that way and you can unlock level select after beating the game where the Bonus Rings don't permanently disappear
Tbh the secret final boss sucks and cheesing the game with Super Sonic and his repetitive theme ain't worth it either.
Yeah, once you beat the game you can easily get every emerald by just replaying the first zone, so don't worry about missing any
Missing those halcyon days where you'd fight a big monster to a buttrock soundtrack.
Hey it's like me and all those roguelikes I saw on sale today.

It sure is great how they made disabling the Super Sonic theme something you can only do via inputting a code in the level select sound test.
Messing around with Egg Reverie free-flight Super Sonic in regular stages was fun though.
Dicey Dungeons is different from usual roguelikes, it's structured more like a regular game.
Like, it has 36 separate levels that you complete one after the next. Roguelikes usually aren't my cup of tea, but I really loved it.
The Special Stages in Sonic Mania are the only ones in the whole franchise I can tolerate;
Blue Spheres are fine too.. but I do get frustrated

Purified capsaicin take: special stages are the pre-Adventure equivalent to Big/Werehog/... levels

They seriously did lock some neat features behind the No Save mode level select for no(?) apparent reason.
Like, there's All Chaos Emeralds, all Blue Spheres Medals and infinite continues codes that I understand not wanting available for regular play, but then you've also got Super Form Flight, Disable Super Music and Max Control Sonic (Drop Dash, Insta-Shield and Peel-Out all enabled at once) that you've gotta look up cheats for to access.

If there's only one then either first or last, yeah. If the last two are there then it'll be a bookend.
I wouldn't mind it if they spent an excessive amount of time on Smash, just for the meltdowns

Well, what's "per usual" in this case anyway.
In the March 2018 Direct Smash was the final reveal.
You all already know what went down at E3 2018.
Isabelle was the second-last reveal in the September 2018 Direct, but it led right into the AC Switch reveal.
The reminder for Joker and teaser for 3.0 was about 5 minutes into the February 2019 Direct.
Hero opened the E3 2019 Direct; Banjo was the second-last announcement.
Banjo's release date, Terry's reveal and the tease for Volume 2 started around 8 minutes into the September 2019 Direct.
The ARMS rep tease was around 14 minutes into the March 2020 Direct Mini.
Pyra & Mythra opened the February 2021 Direct.
So who knows really. Smash reveals were only the opener of a Direct twice during Ultimate's life.

You remember all those fan concepts for Smash Kart, Smash Tennis, etc? This is the year they're all finally happening
that's right! 40 minutes of straight Smash, just what the fans ordered
another e3, another year of waiting for sin and punishment 3, then crying myself to sleep when it doesn't happen

No but see, there are people in there who hate Smash as a fighting game but want Smash Kart.
I've even seen suggestions for Smash F-Zero and Smash Pilotwings in there. No franchise is safe from having their identity stripped away.
I wonder if the last DLC characters are "E3 tier" or they've just happened to wind up here due to the dev cycle.
Like last year Banjo and Hero are absolutely E3 tier characters, but then in the past you've had like Palutena lol.

I don't want to alarm you, but Banjo and Hero were two years ago.
I know.
Anyway, I think it's tough to predict. At least one of them could be huge - Nintendo could theoretically have thought well ahead and sat on a big character, expecting E3 to be back in "full" swing this year. Orrrr we could just have whoever the heck was set to be done next in the original lineup, and it could be absolutely anyone. I'm pretty open to either possibility (though I'll probably like the character a bit more if it's the latter, rather than the former).
Sort of? Yes? It's the fucking weirdest one, though. Absolutely bonkers.
