Rightfully so, as we now have the fear of being totally screwed over again. Why not end it with another 3rd party. Four of those eight have essentially identical movesets (Marth, Roy, Chrom, Lucina), with Ike also having a fairly similar set.

They are sword users as much as Ganon is. This isnt just a swordfighter. Parrhesia, January 16 in Super Smash Bros. They crib moves from probably the most characters out of the new guys, who all crib a lot from existing moves, but they all seem worse because it's only one or two moves out of everyone's kit without any real gimmick of their own.

I'm sure this fighter like all of the previous ones will have some neat tricks, and I'll be buying them either way so anyone who smashes against me doesn't have a new main left in the dust, He looks fun to play,but...another Fire Emblem character? Imagine floating around on Sothis's throne and ramming it into your opponent! I do think awakening got a little over represented though which bulked up the FE roster a bit too much.

They just don’t have to be completely unique. Like some virtually unknown character from an NES Game or something. Female Byleth might not even get an amiibo.

Change costume.

She's basically the most like Ganon, honestly. Lol really? For example, I think E Gadd is more worthy then yet another Fire emblem fighter. Wow, entitlement runs deep. It's a shame Sakurai's creative choices have made a great series like Fire Emblem so despised among Smash Bros players. Wich could have been a cool final smash tho. I'm one of those folks that enjoyed SSE. She's got a lot of really obvious weaknesses, so I dunno. @ClassSonicSatAm yea I'm tired of the character additions as I know they are gonna get more and more desperate. Is it to promote the new games? Thracia has lot of "puzzles " that challenges you, but it feels kinda cheap sometimes, especially on first playthrough.

Super Smash Blog. So easy addin, especially now that 6 more are being added in.

But I am a bit sad because that means that Celica now has no chance of getting into Smash, and I really wanted her to get in, even over Chrom. @TDRsuperstar2 I'd say they know what some consumers want, just not what everyone wants.

Literally any game character in the history of gaming, and they chose another generic sword fighter Fire Emblem character. Ppl are human and allowed feelings.

They are only similar on the surface. Chin up players, there's still time to get the fighter you want later, maybe. Animal Crossing is on the horizon (pun semi-intended). In light of that, fans should be more appreciative for all of the work the developers put in. It's annoying, but character placement really does affect how salty people feel. Does anybody have an idea what the little secret thing is they talked about while discussion Master Hand during Classic Mode?

Just move on. Shake to change fighter costume. @Ashunera84 that's my thought.

Up there with Fates and the Radiant games. Byleth is a nice add on but he's clearly 1st party. I bought the fighters pass up front as well. And the Fire Emblem character count is at 8. @Ragdoll72 Did you not watch the gameplay footage? ✔ Complicated move set Ultimate Full Character Roster List, Reminder: Super Smash Bros. With the announcement that Sakurai would be showing the final character in the 1st Fighters Pass, I never once considered it be a first party character, let alone Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Byleth represents everything I wanted from an FE character in Smash. So he's has a lot in common with DDD.

Due to how slow and unnecessary her specials barring up special are, I'd argue she's more like a slightly faster Ike than Robin, if anything. It’s just so bad. Smash used to do that.

I still use it for tracing and text placement.

I know Nintendolife is Europe based, so maybe they're available over there, but not so yet in America. @Cmsmith1000 They never said they every character would be unique from the characters in the game. Third party has 13 There are even 3 Link's and 2 Zelda's in this game.

Was sitting there hoping that the Fire Emblem opening would be an ironic intro only to be flipped with something clever... up until it was official. You don't have to buy the fighter pass before all announcements anyway, vote with your wallet. Think what you will about the amount of FE characters in smash, but I think that 3 Houses deserves this. Ultimate's 7th DLC Character Rev... First Impressions: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. Uhh, ya jumped the gun on this one a few hours early. Same goes with a gen 8 Pokemon. Hero is a different disappointment for me as I have not really touched the Dragon Quest series. @thesilverbrick I'm legit gonna ignore anyone who says "entitled" any more because its over used and ridiculous. I'm losing track at this point. @Jeremazing I thought they looked not great, bit that's because theu have too many situational options and a tether only recovery. Without female Byleth, male Byleth is just a lord, and vice versa. I feel like the game was losing its original Nintendo focus with so many third-party DLC characters. So far on the dlc pack we had persona, dragon quest, Banjo and King of Fighters/Fatal Fury. The range at which they control space is still significantly larger than that of most non-swordies thanks to their disjointed hitboxes. Agreed! In our excitement we pushed a button early - our apologies!". But hey, that new FE DLC releases next month so... Cuphead would have been cool though. Or they decide to ad a new map with hundred new Spirit-fights, then I might be interested. And yet, unlike his usual surprises, it manages to be disappointing for me.

I love travel stages, so i’m excited to try it out. Personally i’m not mad, just a little disappointed about the reveal. Pokemon has 9 distinct characters.

To be fair, Byleth looks like a very interesting and unique character. @Blizzia - Side characters were never going to be added to the game.

Anyway, even if we assume he does have the Creat Stones, I still think it should’ve been the House Leaders using their Hero’s Relics. Half the reason Mario and Pokemon haven't been problematic roster size wise is all their movesets are quite different to each other. I’m one of those who uses the fighter emblems people, not as a main but as a secondary. Could have fooled the non fire emblem fans and announced them again and I'd know no better lol, People getting mad about a character that no one has to buy. no local friends- then I'll be able to skip wave 1 DLC. For the next DLCs I'll wait every announcement instead of buying the Pass.

@Henmii Yeah... that's true. @TDRsuperstar2 To be fair, Fire Emblem is very popular right now, with Fire Emblem Heroes being one of the top-grossing mobile games, and Nintendo's most successful mobile game to date. Euden? The history lesson was just time filler and gushing.

Ill save my tears for the fans if DK, F-Zero, some other third party, etc instead. There's a lot of people very angry about this.

@Xansies That would explain why they ended pass 1 with Byleth. @Starburst I can be disappointed and glad that you're excited simultaneously, not sure why you have to act like I'm some sort of demon for expecting the last character to follow the trend of exciting and unexpected third party characters. Owain at least doesn't have blue hair. I call them MCs because Byleth doesn't feel like one. Please give other franchises a chance at revival or a new fan base, ....because it means these DLC characters are not 3rd party exclusive and that Rex and Pyra are still very possible.
