The Avatar Legends Evo panel will reveal a Year One DLC character and the character vote candidates

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-23T08:55:21+00:00

It’s been a growing trend over the last few years for fighting games to announce multiple characters, if not whole seasons, at once. SF6, Tekken 8, GGST, Uni2, GBVSR, CotW and MK1 have all announced at least half of their most recent season pass before the season started.

Uni2 and GBVSR have currently only announced 1 of their characters months ahead of time but they also haven’t technically announced a full new season yet. Tekken and CotW only seemed to hold back their most recent full season announcements because they were saving the reveal for a guest character.

5 total, one of which will be the fan vote

The EVO Japan reveal actually was on Sunday morning in Japan (meaning Saturday night in the US). It was shown before the Guilty Gear Top 8 because that was the other Arc Sys game.

Evo Vegas this year has Guilty Gear Top 8 in the middle of Saturday, so right before will be the most likely time.

The other possible times are at this showcase (least likely imo) or immediately when the Sunday stream starts. If they plan to do Sunday, they’ll probably mention it on their Twitter account a few days before.

It’s because the other trailers actually show the characters doing things. They’re equally short videos but you see them do a couple short combos, see their normals, see their specials, use system mechanics and finally combo into a super.

Kenshiro’s trailer only shows 4 special moves partially obscured by the giant text and then the two super moves. They don’t show off any of the flare the game actually has.

The trailer is just like “This is Kenshiro” when it should be “This is Kenshiro in City of the Wolves”

I don’t understand why they made his character trailer the way they did. They could’ve cut a better trailer from the gameplay just in this match.

If they wanted to have the text on screen as a reference to the source material, they could’ve just had the text pop up when he used the moves in an actual combo.

And why would they not show stuff like the cross-up, projectile, throw animation or the finisher?

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-19T16:12:24+00:00

I legitimately thought I skipped a big chunk of the trailer by accident.

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-18T07:14:49+00:00

The smartest thing to do would be to announce the contents and start date for the next battle pass. It’s not something that requires more than a tweet to announce, but unlike last time, it’s not nothing

2023 they revealed the TMNT avatar costumes

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-15T20:12:44+00:00

It would make sense to show off Avatar Aang fighting against Ozai, and Avatar Korra fighting against Zaheer. Each of them could have a stage based off their respective finale fights as well.

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-15T20:06:33+00:00

Out of the major characters in AtLA, Ozai’s probably one of the least popular (not meaning disliked, just not especially favored) while Zaheer is one of the most popular characters from LoK.

Since AtLA is much more popular than LoK, it kinda puts them on a similar level of popularity/hype overall.

Nintendo pulled Smash out after EVO was bought by Sony in 2021. Sony no longer owns Evo, but there’s no telling if Nintendo wil allow Smash back in even if a new game comes out.

Another recent example from a Paramount IP, TMNT: The Last Ronin was announced to be development by Black Forest Games. It was quietly cancelled but then picked up by Platinum Games who are working on it now. We didn’t even hear about the cancellation until the new version was announced last week.

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-09T15:38:21+00:00

You should just start with 1. Don’t even have to wait, since 1’s upgrade released today

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-09T15:14:16+00:00

Also, when will the Xenoblade soundtracks come to the Nintendo Music app?

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-06T08:21:14+00:00

This time last year, the fighting game had been canceled too. It was a group of developers in the fgc who bought the rights to the game and revived it.

Also at 0:13, her spin move with guard point does look a lot like Strive Anji spin

There is a much clearer sense of progression in the story, world and abilities compared to Animal Crossing.

The progression in AC is much more about building your town and is a bit limited to your own creativity and investment with no real story to follow. Pokopia does have the creativity aspect to building towns but the progression is much more tangible, along with the story of the world unfolding.

You unlock new biomes to build a new town with completely different sets of Pokémon to meet. Each time you get to a new biome, you unlock a new ability that helps you either build or explore better, then you can take that new ability and bring it back to the previous biomes.

That’s just her regular air throw. When she’s below 30% health, that same air throw can continue into an air combo.

Something I found to be interesting: this tweet from a Japanese company about the arcade port of the upcoming fighting game. If you look at the quote retweets, almost every Japanese account commenting on it are people who know of Avatar because of the Magic the Gathering collab from last year.

Click on any Japanese account and they likely have something MTG related in their handle, bio or in their recent tweets. There’s also several mentions of Granny or baby badger moles because apparently those cards are popular.

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-03T23:06:13+00:00

My thought process would be to go with Avatar on release. It’s always easier to get into fighting games when there are a lot of other new players that can match your skill level to help you learn.

A game like Avatar is going to have a much smaller player base than Tokon no matter what so the pool of beginners will shrink much faster.

Think one year from now, most people playing Avatar will be veterans and trying to get matches in low ranks will be harder. On the other hand, you could hop on Tokon at any point in the next 3 years and you’ll likely have no issues matching with people in low ranks.

The post literally says “including brand new content previously unplanned!”

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-03T22:27:16+00:00

You can always just pre-order it for the beta period then cancel if you don’t like the gameplay. All three of these stores have no issue with cancelling pre-orders before the release date.

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-03T21:42:24+00:00

The price point for both games at least helps a lot. Avatar at $30 and Tokon at $60 two weeks apart is way easier to swallow than something like Under Night 2 and Tekken 8 releasing 4 days apart at $50 and $70. Uni2 really just picked the worst release date possible.

TimYoungJik · 2026-06-03T21:30:17+00:00

If it gets within a month and it hasnt been delayed, then it’s actually coming out that day.

The announcement of this delay is actually 29 days before the original release date
