tweets are easy to fake, but I'd trust seitz to be smart about it. he's good people.
anyways, more lighthearted discussion
what'd be a character you wants stage entrance at the beginning of a fight?
Here's Kiryu's
the goon should be there to get kicked off too
Aeron - Swings in on a chain
Alex Roivas - I forget if there's an animation if you leave the Trapper dimension but that
Infantryman - Hops out of an APV
Impa - Emerges from the manual of a Zelda game
Jill Dozer - Drills in through the floor
Lip - Appears out of a blooming flower
Mach Rider - Rides in on a motorcycle
Mallo - Pushes a block out of the background and pops out from behind it
Medusa - Busts out of a statue
Mr. Wright - Animation taken from how he appears on the advice screen
Nikki - Doodled on screen by a giant pencil
Paper Mario - Thrown onto the field in the form of a paper airplane
Ray MK II - Launched into the arena as a die. Sometimes starts off upside down.
Saki Amamiya - Lies on the ground while his Dolphin is thrown to him from offscreen
ST Falcon - Crashes onto the ground after narrowly surviving orbital reentry. Or, more seriously, flying into the screen a la the opening of Metal Combat.
Sukapon - Keeping his head back on like beginning a match in Joy Mech Fight
Takamaru - Invisibility jutsu runs out.
Vince - The exact same thing I said for Nikki except it's a paintbrush
BONUS:
Cybuster - Lands in the battlefield after flying through it at high speed several times, then decides to fight while still being visibly confused about where it is.
