Well, they own him, so... yeah, I guess?
So only characters that can come with an echo then:With 16 total DLC slots I was thinking maybe instead of stages they'd append an Echo fighter to each character.
I know some people are counter to the idea but the stages haven't been much to write home about in Ultimate so I'm fine with cool alternate costumes instead.
I'm pretty sure it's just because they don't care about Halo.They simply do not understand the magnitude of cultural impact Halo had on the larger gaming landscape outside the Nintendo community bubble.
You know what?
- Haruka Amami with Uzuki Shimamura
- Twinbee with Winbee
- Phoenix Wright with Miles Edgeworth
- The Prince of all Cosmos with the King of all Cosmos (young ver)
- Reimu Hakurei with Marisa Kirisame
- Arle Nadja with Ringo Ando
I know who they are but swore an oath to Sakurai.We aren't going to find out who character #5 is until TGA, are we?

RoxasIt's really ironic that Sora has no character that could actually work as an echo
I mean 90% of the time you play as Roxas he's pretty much a Sora echo.It's really ironic that Sora has no character that could actually work as an echo
They don't even share the same basic 3 hit combo at the beginning of 2. Besides, Roxas is known for duel wielding so trying to make him an echo of Sora doesn't work at all. Sora has a lot that's completely unique to him so unless you omit 99% of it and Frankenstein him into some weird character for the sole purpose of supporting echos, it doesn't work.I mean 90% of the time you play as Roxas he's pretty much a Sora echo.
That's not how it would work lol.They don't even share the same basic 3 hit combo at the beginning of 2.

Lol Nomura would never agree to that. Makes absolutely no sense. Roxas doing drive forms, keyblade transformations, flowmotion, etc. is pretty different than Dark Samus doing what Samus does. The former is faaaaaaaar more "off character" which defeats the entire purpose.That's not how it would work lol.
Sora would be using all his unique tools and they'll just make Roxas do what he does.
Look at Dark Samus.
do people really think they'd add a no-name character like Sora over Elsa from Kingdom Hearts III? Not only is she arguably the main character, but she's also going to be featured in the upcoming film. She has the relevance and the moveset potential.
I disagree regarding Nomura. Cloud isn't even that good of a representation of himself in Smash.Lol Nomura would never agree to that. Makes absolutely no sense.

I feel like Ichiban would be better for an Echo given he's the new hero.- Chosen Undead with Solaire
- Dante with Virgil
- 2B with 9S
- Sora with Riku
- Kiryu with Majima
I'd be fine with this
You might as well take literally any 2 characters from any series and make them a "playable/echo" situation.They straight up don't share anything beyond both having keyblades and a similar body type. At that point why even choose him? You might as well just pick Vanitas. At least he actually looks like Sora lol.I disagree regarding Nomura. Cloud isn't even that good of a representation of himself in Smash.
Echoes aren't meant to be completely faithful. They could change 1 or 2 things and call it a day. It helps that Roxas and Sora have the same body structure.
Kiryu, but with Command Selection?I feel like Ichiban would be better for an Echo given he's the new hero.
He only has the title of echo because Sakurai wanted him to be considered an echo
Its DLC. They won't make anybody an echo. Someone else from KH will make them money by selling them separately anyways.You might as well take literally any 2 characters from any series and make them a "playable/echo" situation.They straight up don't share anything beyond both having keyblades and a similar body type.

Wonder if this event will run into any issues with Terry's release timing.
EDIT:
Are they revealing fighter 5 at this tournament or something? Sakurai's comment is weird
Give us a hint then, you tease!
Now, you might not believe this, but my source told me that the next fighter after Terry will be a playable character! Crazy; I know.
That's ridiculous. They haven't been relevant for years. Totally unfeasible.Now, you might not believe this, but my source told me that the next fighter after Terry will be a playable character! Crazy; I know.
To be fair, Sakurai is the same guy that made Lucas a Ness clone and Ganondorf a Captain Falcon clone, so he doesn't really need much beyond "similar body type" either.You might as well take literally any 2 characters from any series and make them a "playable/echo" situation.They straight up don't share anything beyond both having keyblades and a similar body type.

I'm fine with compromises being made in areas for the sake of an echo but I just don't think Sora even remotely works with ANY echo. I think both Riku and Roxas would be better as ATs or stage elements
every player gets two teammates who'll stand behind them and jump in to attack their opponent if they're in troubleAlso, re: the November tournament. I feel like they're going to make it mildly King of Fighters themed in order to tie it in to Terry's release.
Blaze is like the most criminally underutilized character in the history of gaming.Until we get Metal or Blaze as a Sonic Echo, other echo fighters are strictly prohibited
by me. So they really aren't.
MASKED MAN IS LUCAS'S TWIN BROTHER AND HAS THE SAME MOVES.Until we get Metal or Blaze as a Sonic Echo, other echo fighters are strictly prohibited
by me. So they really aren't.
I think that's mostly the work of one person
