Thanks to sonicgalaxy27 for sending us the news tip!
that trailer is so fucking good.
i like all the collaborations they have for Overwatch and Fortnight, specifically the anime collaborations.
Ed Sombra. Wow. Honestly, that’s what I’d expect a fully grown Ed to look like if Cowboy Bebop ever got a sequel that skipped a couple years into the future.
I have watch the anime on Toonami and it was some well made manga honestly. I see most of the episodes but not all of it.
This is just my take, and taste, nothing against people enjoying this; but I’m SO glad Sakurai kept Smash gaming orientated and straight up denied anything else. I like it that way, and what Epic does with cross-overs in Fortnite is so commerce.
At one point I DID want an Overwatch character in Smash (my picks would’ve been Tracer, Sombra, or Pharah), but after all of the controversy past and present, I’m alright with Smash not having an OW fighter.
Overwatch deserves a better company.
I miss when Overwatch was about Overwatch
