Mythra / Pyra
Yes, there are also too many sword characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Seeing Mythra/Pyra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 join the roster didn’t feel that impressive, but the opening is still funny on account of Rex being denied the invitation. What makes this introduction fascinating is the world-building, with Rex looking all over Alrest for her, only to be told she’s leaving to participate in Smash. I love moments like this in these openings, as we get to know the series’ characters and their reaction to the invitation.
