JK Rowling’s post-book canon is getting ridiculous.

Sakurai accidentally getting lost in the meta, hahaha.

They could have picked a shoutout to Advent Children or FF7R. Or had him use a summon materia (his flare moves are all from the Bahamut family).

I just assumed there were hazards he didn’t reveal. Otherwise this is just Battlefield with a different background. Hmm.

Yup, here it is. 

You didn’t have a Switch?!

No no, this is okay. This is basically treating Seph as an unlockable character, as was the case for almost all of the original roster. Unlocking fighters is a core part of Smash that the DLC releases have forgotten about, so I appreciate this throwback.

Guys he has Supernova as his Final Smash, as I jokingly predicted after his reveal. I LOVE IT. And the Northern Crater level is pretty much an updated FMV of the ending from a rando’s POV.

SEPH’S FINAL SMASH IS ACTUALLY SUPERNOVA HAHAHA. And it’s a sped up version of the original US animation! Oh that’s brilliant. 

> Some things are limited time in life.

Yup, this is Bowser’s first “NOJ has pushed me into a corner” moment. Reggie had them all the time.

Was never interested in it, but based on coverage my takeaway is: “It’s a game where you give yourself a big dick and collect sex toys but in the FUTURE.” Ok, if that’s what you’re into I guess.

That Isle of Ely Monastery bug was so damn frustrating. My team would all out refuse to help me open anything until all enemies were killed. And THEN they’d have the nerve to be like “Eivor I have a great idea, come help me open this!” Motherfuckers are you kidding me?!

> I’m always amazed on how bugs aren’t universal.

I actually cringed.

When I unlocked this I legit could not stop laughing.

Which is a callback to the Cloud challenge picture, which is him holding Zelda in the water.

It’s important to replicate the authentic experience. 

Weirdly enough, I mentally separate the stylized swordfighters (Link, Cloud, even Hero) from the Fire Emblem Brigade. 

I learned just the other day that some wrestling person has a One Winged Angel motif...thing.
