Mina The Hollower Is Joining Rivals Of Aether II As A Guest Fighter In 2027

Oh, that is so awesome and so fitting. Even better if you know that the first Rivals of Aether had Shovel Knight as one of two guest characters.

They wish they had the same amount of impact as smashbros. hopefully they add her to smash in the next game

Them having Mina is a super cool addition, but man I will say them having to stretch all of these updates out so far feels super deflating. I do love the original Rivals but it feels like they tried too much all at once and they are just stretching it out to make it feel like it has longer legs when I feel like they could have waited a bit longer as long as they had some core single player modes and an ok roster size (8-12 characters feels good for a game of its size) but now we got to have this game going with live service elements. Like I'm not even one to complain most times in fighters with it because I don't care too much, but Rivals has so much of the stuff I want promised (including a way to play it lol), but is all in the far off future.

@tdovegaming Every one-on-one fighter wishes they had the same impact as Smash Bros. Ultimate is the top-selling fighting game of all time and it is not even close.

@tdovegaming I feel like we'll be lucky to get Shovel Knight as an Assist Trophy again, but that is Yacht Club Games' mascot. If Mina starts showing up in three dozen other indie games, then maybe she'll be considered for Smash, but I wouldn't expect her in any other role then either an assist trophy or a spirit (or trophy if they decide to bring those back).
