From gameplay, it looks like it autoswaps on death as it did in Brawl.

The biggest tragedy is that Fire Emblem has the potential for a ton of characters with more unique looks and playstyles but they instead went for Blue Haired Sword Lord a bunch.




Axe/Lance ladies would be rad as heck.

We may get Edelgard from Three Houses, that'd give us an axe lady. I definitely want something other than swords, but I understand that main lords get in and those tend to use swords. At least Robin brought in some magic.

My biggest dashed hope was Lucina getting in as a promoted Lord and using lances.

If Splatoon 2 can do the drawings, I can't see why Smash Ultimate couldn't.

If they could just include a menu prompt that was just "hey post some poo poo to this not-miiverse" like Splatoon 2 did for the stage that would be amazing actually.

I could also see them subbing in different characters as applicable, as you unlock them. I think SS64's classic mode had Luigi join in when you unlocked him?

For example in the direct, one of Roy's stages has him facing Marth, Corrin, and... Corrin. I could see that just always being vs. 3 random FE reps that have been unlocked.

Chrom is cool because he introduces the idea that a single echo character can have moves originating from multiple characters. Why not, right? It'd just be copying and pasting an Up-B from Ike instead of Roy.

That said his Up-B does look fairly different from Ike's so who knows

I wonder if echo characters will count as separate characters for the purposes of classic/adventure/all-star completion. Part of me kinda wants it streamlined but part me of also wants to fully suffer under the hubris of wanting as many dumb characters in this game as possible.

In the same vein I also hope all-star is a 70+ character gauntlet :getin:

I 100% see ARMS (spring man + ribbon girl skin/echo) and xenoblade 2 (hopefully just pyra and mythra, gently caress rex) as DLC, if Ultimate will have it.

Both games sold well but are probably too new for full inclusion in Ultimate beyond an item.

Here's a video of everyone's alternate colors.

Everyone has exactly 8 colors, so unfortunately characters with an alternate suit got it at the loss of another color. Shulk's hair now matches the character his color's based on, and Robin's hair color isn't garbage.

Sucks that Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, and Corrin still only have 4 skins.

Shocked to see Chrom that high considering how everyone's been dumping on his horrible recovery. I'm super curious if there is more to him or if they really just decided to make him have one of the worst recoveries in the game.

I've taken a cursory glance about the issue and basically, for competitive tournaments they've decided to blanket turn hazards off. This is because it presented a logistical menu navigating nightmare to adjust the toggle on a per stage basis. As a result, Fountain of Dreams with hazards off is a redundant Battlefield.
