Masahiro Sakurai shares why Rex is not a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Nintenderos

As you all know, Pyra y Mythra From Xenoblade 2 Chronicles Now available to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As a new DLC character from Fighters’ Arcade II. As you have seen, we can both play and swap from one to the other in the middle of the battle.

OK then, Masahiro Sakurai It was published by Prof. New Personal Column In the last issue of Famitsu Where he explained The decision to make the two main fighting heroes in Smash Ultimate, instead of the game’s protagonist, Rex.

Here are some highlights from Masahiro Sakurai’s recent column, with permission from Ryokotia 2089:

• “When it was decided that we would create a character for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the first thing I thought was to show and move Rex and Pyra at the same time on the screen. But the conclusion that it was impossible came at the speed of the game. Somehow I asked the team to examine it but that was impossible.”
• “When we talk about two people moving as one group, there are the ice climbers. They look alike and can only do the same things. When we tested it with the Rex + Pyra, it was clear that we couldn’t do a basic job for its ability to do so [de datos] It will exceed processing load limit.
• “It was also decided that the system of Rex’s presence as the main fighter and Bera’s supervision over him was difficult. The design was so complex that many things had to be done.
• Rex will have to move alone. But then I thought it would be better if I could switch between Pyra and Mythra.

Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 joined the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate by DLC on March 4. This is the fourth addition to Fighter Pass 2 and can be purchased separately for 5.99 €. By purchasing Fighters Pass Vol.2 for € 29.99 from the Nintendo eShop, players will also have access to Steve and Alex, Min Min, Sefirot and a couple of Applicant Packs that have yet to be announced when available. Each package includes a fighter, a stage, and multiple music tracks.
