I'll post what I posted on SmashBoards here:

Guys, I still haven't recovered from this.

I mean, ever since I heard the BOTW music and Rivers in the Desert being covered in 2017's Game Awards, I always just had these mental images of Link and Joker fighting to the death, proving who is ultimately the stronger protagonist from two of this gen's greatest games of all time, but the two would ultimately befriend each other.

Xenoblade and Persona 5 are probably my two favorite RPGs of all time, both featuring amazing stories, characters, gameplay, and music that truly made me appreciate gaming even more than I already did, and the fact both Shulk and Joker are in the same game and can engage in friendly sparring is just surreal and magical to me, that mere words can't even describe it.

I never thought Nintendo would put Joker in Smash, but if I had to guess, maybe it wasn't necessarily Joker specifically, and that any ATLUS character would have satisfied in terms of promotional reasons, and Sakurai took that opportunity to put his heart and soul into a character from a series he loves ever so much.

Ultimate was already an amazing game, and the return of cut veterans like Snake, Wolf, and Ice Climbers, as well as the debut of characters people wanted like Ridley, K Rool, and Simon was more than enough to make me get this game, but with Joker on the horizon, I don't even know what to say.

Nintendo, Sakurai, and ATLUS, thank you for gracing Earth with one of the most amazing games of all time, we do not deserve any of you.

Hey man. It’s pretty awesome that you’re having your “dreams come true” moment.

I was ecstatic when I saw that Ryu was going to be DLC in Smash 4 as he was my own dream character (along with Chun Li, though I hope she’ll one day get her chance).
