Fun fact: The song that plays when you do your legion fusion is called "Dark hero" and the singer is male if you pick the male avatar or female if you pick the female avatar.
@@lynkedworld You are not. I personally prefer the female version, but I think the male version's instrumental part fits the game better, so I'd say it's a tie for me.
11:15 that button mashing can very. I was able to start that segment while Dark hero was transitioning more slower then it was bumping up when the camera got closer to Akira and they’re twin. All the while I kept laughing hysterically, thinking why is this game so much fun.
I believe that as the final smash may be a bit too spoilery. I'm thinking more of a cinematic final smash utilizing Legion Rush For the start up which will send all who get hit by it into a cut scene where of which Hit Rush is used with all 5 legions.
After seeing this in the game. Akira has to be in smash and his/her final smash should be the fusion. The legions could be controlled somewhat in normal combat and be somewhat like Joker’s persona. Of course add both Akira’s as echo fighters. Only difference is that Male Akira has sword legion and female Akira has arrow legion. Sakurai make it happen
My wishlist (which would only really be doable with DLC-character-levels of care) would be the Legion functions like Rosalina’s Luma and goes on cooldown after being attacked enough, and you select an active legion like you do Shulk’s monado arts. A Button attacks would all be X-Baton based, with active legions providing support during Smash Attacks or the other 3 B Moves.
Protagonist and Akira's battle is like watching two EVA'S berserk going at each other's throat. (That and Grace & Glory from Bayonetta) Where da hell's my money? I'm soooo going to buy this.
This gives me Lumen sage vs. Bayonetta vibes because both characters have similar speeds for their attacks so this will be INTERESTING to say the least. Platinum always delivers.

@@lucasstanciu6182 Thank god I wasn't the only one who thought the Misaka clones from Railgun. Also, I realised shortly after this fight that Hal totally has 9s' VA.
I played with control type C which has Y as your human attack button and when it prompts you to mash during the ORA ORA ORA it has you do ZL and Y instead of ZR. Just thought that was interesting, it's legion and meat person attacking at once and not just a preset button mash.
Yea... That makes TONS of Sense. Makes a WHOLE LOT of sense. Now I feel like I know what the story is gonna really be. Edit: still might try it though, looks fun to play.
Am I the only one that's annoyed at the fact that we can't get the "Raven style" look for our own legions? Theirs is out here looking super badass and we're just stuck using the originals!

Is Akira joined Raven Clan? So why Raven... Finding... Akira's Brother... *Somthing is not right*, all Raven are... Akira?! This is Mistaken... Clones? Or just Ninjutsu of Raven? 7:26 is Akira the... The Raven Disaster? 7:50 Whats he doing? And this is... Sibling Fight

@@sonymicronin So was the male character, not to mention that there's a promotional piece of art for the game featuring him and Bayonetta.

Like I said, there are arguments for both, and there's no official statement, so it really is neither.

Plot convenience and cutscene induced incompetence for the sake of drama Considering the protagonist did step in to save Akira when they were being attacked by Jena and had to move a greater distance, it is proven that they were capable of it and the writers probably couldn't think of a better way to have Akira's mortal injury and rampage happen

This is a very typical looking Platinum game.
Which is about the highest form of praise I think one can give a video game.
I can't believe this game is 2 years old, man this game is such a gem, I'm so glad it was made.

Singer is always female. The 'male' version is just remixed and autotuned to be male

If Akira was in Smash, fusing with the Legion would be his/her Final Smash.
Erick Maverick And I would bet he’d do a slashing barrage as his attack when he hits someone.
I think it’d be better if it were part of his moveset but that’d work

@@ndogmario arika fusing with the legion is legit on the opening of the game
OK, I want this dude in Smash
Me too!
I can totally see this character getting into Smash.
If only it weren't so similar in concept to Joker.
Yeah, Akira for smash, both male and female ver. With Dark hero soundtrack
Me too. It could be like Robin, Corrin, and Pkmn Trainer with both a male and female counterpart.
After seeing this in the game. Akira has to be in smash and his/her final smash should be the fusion.
The legions could be controlled somewhat in normal combat and be somewhat like Joker’s persona.
Of course add both Akira’s as echo fighters. Only difference is that Male Akira has sword legion and female Akira has arrow legion.
Sakurai make it happen
My wishlist (which would only really be doable with DLC-character-levels of care) would be the Legion functions like Rosalina’s Luma and goes on cooldown after being attacked enough, and you select an active legion like you do Shulk’s monado arts. A Button attacks would all be X-Baton based, with active legions providing support during Smash Attacks or the other 3 B Moves.

This game seriously has a mix of Persona, Jojo, and Evangelion. To me at least.
More Evangelion than anything, to be honest. Even down to the plot points and the main character tropes.
Don't forget Tokusatsu

> the one legion user that’s not wearing black
Nice Pepsiman vs Colaman
ur funny
I knew the voice of hal was a bit familiar he voiced Zeroken from disgaea 5 and 9S from Nier

That clash is gonna look even better in animated style.

This is basicly a battle of stand users
If Akira gets in smash.
We better have the Fusion Clash rush if their Final Smashes clash.
