Hey all! Once again, today we are doing something different once again! I wanted to talk about Smash Bros. last week as they confirmed that more DLC fighters are in development! With Terry from Fatal Fury confirmed, the possibilities for fighters are endless. So I figured, why not suggest my pretty obvious picks! Well if you know me, at least.

The only rule I have no suggesting fighters that could be Echo Fighters. For those wondering, my picks for those would be Sakura from Street Fighter IV and V as a Ryu Echo fighter, Zack from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII as an Echo of Cloud and Shadow the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series as an Echo of Sonic. No other rules then that, so Let's go!

1 - Sora - Kingdom Hearts Series

OK, so my 1,2 and 3 are all in all wanted about the same amount, which is basically the most wanted ones. Sora is someone I've wanted in Smash since the hype for DLC fighters started in Smash 4! While Sora has not had any mainline games on Nintendo consoles, all of the handheld entries besides Birth By Sleep have been on Nintendo Consoles. I think he would a good fit with a focus on his magic and FlowMotion, with a final Smash of any of his Limits from KH2, or the flash bang attack from Ultimate Form in KH3.

The only the thing I can see stopping him getting in is if Square Enix decide not to put to allow him in, because of the Hero getting in. Still I would love for this to happen.
​
2 - Lightning Farron - Final Fantasy XIII series

What, you thought this wasn't going to come up? No, of course you knew it was. Lightning is one of my favorite heroines in any video game, and I think with her move-set being a combination of her 2 classes, Commando and Ravager. Not medic because that could break the game. Her Final Smash would be the powerful Army of One. 

I would love this were to happen for a few reasons. First being it would be very cool to Lightning Vs. Samus in a video game. Second being that it would show that Square has some interest in the remastering the 13 trilogy of games. However, I can see her not getting in for the same reasons as Sora.

3) Neptune - Hyperdimention Neptunia Series

Nep-Nep in smash would be worth it for the Meta references alone. Seriously, have her stage be Planetune, and have something like Palutena's  Guidance, to where she makes comments on the characters people play as in the stages. This is a bit of a hopeful pick however, because she's only had one game on a Nintendo System(The most recent Super Neptunia RPG), and I don't know if it sold well, so that's something going against him, but I think she could be a great fit.

4 - Shantae - Shantae Series

This pick seemed impossible a while ago, but with the addition of Sans from Undertale as a Mii Costume, I think the door has opened up for Shantae, at least as a Mii costume, but I don't think fighter is out of the question. While her move-set could be a little complex, she could at least have her hair whip as her light attack. She also has a ton of designs that could be used as alternate outfits e.g. her Ninja and Jammies mode outfits. 

I'm Hopeful that she could get in Smash, and Matt Bozon has said he is open to the idea. Here's hoping Sakurai sees it as a good idea.

5). Juri Han - Street Fighter IV and V

This is my pure "I can hope for it" pick, because I really don't think it would happen(if a SF girl got in, it would be Sakura as a Ryu Echo, or Chun-Li because of Recognition), but I really want Juri because she would fit better for Smash because she has personality and character that is AMAZING in my opinion. She just want to have fun, and in Smash, that's always welcome.

Honorable Mentions

Quote - Cave Story - I don't see Quote NOT getting in because he's a Japanese Indie character, especially given the fact we have Sans now, so it's very doable as long as Nicalis and Pixel(Daisuke Amaya) allow it to happen.

Byleth - Fire Emblem Three Houses - Given the success of this game, I don't see Sakurai not giving The Three House avatar a slot.

Who do you guys think will join the fight? Let me know in the comments!

But for now, thanks for reading, and I will catch you guys next time.

Also, as a side note, since there was a lot of J-pop stuff this month, I 'll be going into that last.
-We got an announcement for Megaman Zero and ZX collections! Zero is my favorite series of Megaman games, so I think I'll enjoy this collection!
-I'm not really into story-time animation, butRelachi made 2 good videos on her First Straight Guy Crush. She's really funny, but maybe she should watch for more red flags.
-SGB did an let's play of Mortal Kombat 11 and Sonic Colours!
-Ellen of Livid Lightning answered 121 Blogger Tag Questions, including my Sunshine Blogger Tag. I don't know how I read all of them.
-Kamen Rider Zi-O ended the Heisei Era of Kamen Rider on August 25, 2019. Farewell Heisei Riders.
-I don't know if I shared this before or not, but Emirichu is one of the bigger YouTubers I find pretty cool, particularly her second childhood crushes video.
-We got another trailer of MHA Season 4! I can't what happens from here on out! That opening theme also sounds pretty good.
Speaking of Music, time to go into the J-Pop stuff.
-Kenshi Yonezu released a cover of his own song, Paprika, which was sung by Foorin, and the cover is pretty awesome with a beautiful video. There was also a video for his new single but that came out this week, so that's for the next in review.
-Reol released a video for Phanto(me). Oh my God, watch this video. It is amazing, so unique and creepy at the same time, go watch it!
-Eve released a video for his new song, Baumkuchen End, and it's awesome!
-I found a J-Pop classic that my friend Lyneriaa wrote about. Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi.
-Finally, Yoh Kamiyama, an artist that I haven't really heard of till now, released a video for his new song, CUT, and it's also pretty unique. You see why I prefer Japanese things over the west quite a bit?

What I played this month
Did some grinding in Neptunia. Not much to really talk about there. I've also been playing Maplestory in my downtime, and honestly for an mmo, it's pretty fun to play alone.

I also finished Life is Strange! It was a fun ride, but you can read my review for more thoughts. 

Also the day after I posted that Feathery Ears ramble, I bought Wings of Glass! I'm currently at the factory section, and it's pretty fun.

Merch This Month
I did actually buy a wall scroll this month, but Shipping is taking a while.
Final Thoughts
August, besides a few mental hiccups(which I know how to work through) was AWESOME! It's always been a turning point month for me ever 2017, and this year there was a lot of good things that happened.

Firstly, I PASSED MY A-LEVELS AND GOT INTO UNI! I was so nervous that this wasn't going to happen, and I'm so thankful it did!

Secondly, I MADE A SALE! Yea my friend Ellen(who you may known from above with the 121+ Question) bought one of my designs on a Mug! Thank you so much Ellen!

And Finally, I TURNED 18!!! I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A MAN!Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes!! 

TBH though, lately I have been having a few mental hangups, but I've been working through them. One of them is just feeling pretty lonely, but I'm trying my best to break that feeling. Uni should help with that, hehe.

Speaking of September will still have some stuff going on, but since I start Uni, my focus is probably going to be on that, so I may skip most of this month in terms of Blog posts. For that I apologise in advance. That being said, at least expect the MHA review, plus an All in The Character with it.

But for now, thanks so much for reading, and I will catch you guys next time.
