I find your comment Ironic given that in xenoblade chronicles 2 the story centers around people called drivers with the special ability to summon a special being called "blade" from an artifact called "core crystal" that can take humanoid form and you can use to battle along side him/her, Pyra/mythra is a Blade and Rex is her Driver, that's why he appears in her final smash, she needs him to draw her full power, so yeah she is kinda like a pokemon.
Foresight isn't even a counter, that's just a dodge move where you can just get away freely at this point. Also when they showed Shulk I was seriously expecting him to get an update in some way like they did with Cloud
Also what’s pretty cool is that they may have alluded to another xenoblade rep being in smash with that DLC. I forget the exact quote but it’s something Shulk says in the sage’s realm about a bright future or a parallel universe. Idk it’s been awhile since I played XC2 but I always thought what he said seemed to foreshadow something!
4, if you count Rex being in the final smash(es) and taunts. Honestly, Monolithsoft more than deserved it...they've helped nintendo out with so many IPs (including Smash), all the while Xenoblade (their baby) completly getting ignored. I'm glad, though. If anything, this will help grow the popularity of the franchise as a whole.
@@DarkGamer364 BFN and GW1 and GW2 are amazing games. Like unironically they are amazing shooters (though GW1 is largely outclassed by GW2 and BFN got killed off because EA).
I always enjoy your reactions because even if you're unfamiliar with the character or the series you always find something positive about the inclusion, instead of automatically complaining like a lot of people does when it's not their most wanted.
First of yes play Xenoblade! They are both really good! Second off yes I actually did recognize a lot of pyra's moves from ones that were used in Xenoblade 2. Third off of they kind of are the main characters of Xenoblade 2. I mean the game is really about their relationship with Rex.
Exactly, their basic moves are mostly the same (but Mythra is faster), but when it comes to their specials, they come straight from Xenoblade 2. Also, imo it is the best game on switch. I hope more people play it because of this.
Mythra being faster but weaker is not such a huge problem when you consider their range looks identical. Oh no i think this character os gonna be degenarate..... i’m gonna learn them.

@@l.n.3372 Spoilers ahead: First off, XCX is not connected to the other two, but there are many fan theories out there potentially connecting them, nothing concrete or official though and all just speculation. XC and XC2 are connected but it would take a very long time to explain it well, to put it simply, there was a man called Klaus years before either game takes place who used something known as the conduit to recreate the universe and destroy the old one. The new universe created is the world of XC and the ruins of the old one is the world of XC2, so both games take place simultaneously. With these two worlds in existence Klaus was split between the two, half going to XC and becoming the entity known as Zanza and other half remaining in the destroyed XC2 world where he became known as the Architect and used the power of the conduit to create new life in the world he destroyed out of regret and a desire to do things better. It's difficult to do the subtle nuances justice but that's the gist of it. If I can help explaining anything else I'd be more than happy to :)
@@obamaorb7426 That was very in depth and good details! I appreciate it. I'm definitely planning to get XC for Switch eventually since I had wanted it but I never had a Wii. And if I enjoy it then I'll probably get XC2 at some point. But you've definitely piqued my interest further. One question about the new characters: are they swords but taking the form of humans? Or are they humans who can transform into weapons? And how do they relate to that Rex guy?
I've never played any of the Xenoblade games, but I'm very excited to see what Pyra and Mythra play like. I always liked the trasformation type characters.
3:04 yes one of the DLC content for xenoblade 2 shows a mini story were shulk and fiora are teleported to a dimension between dimensions where they meet rex and company, the second wave of DLC added Elma from X, if you complete certain missions you can use them in the main game as blades for rex and other drivers, for the ones that don't know "blades" are special beings akin to androids that Drivers (like Rex) use to fight kinda like pokemon, with the twist you fight along side them, pyra/mytra is a blade.
Someone is going to be pissed that we got two anime sword fighters in a row. Me? I’m happy! This character rules. Wish it was Elma from Xenoblade X tho.
Even though the SSBU team did this when the game came out I just got to say this RIP Mythra they censored her legs! In the original game, her legs were bare. RIP the waifu.

Okay let me get something straight in the base roster we have a reps from 4 different jrpg franchises.
