Fire Emblem has swordsmen, swordsmen, and more swordsmen.

No way in hell were they replacing that with random javelins. Their additions only happened because they were easy clones. Super Smash Bros. Byleth, Edelgard or neither? However, I doubt Byleth will be competitively viable. Robin was chosen for being more interesting than Chrom and Corrin was chosen to promote Fates since they are the main protagonist and were marketed pretty heavily. He pretends that sorcerer is his favorite Dungeons & Dragons class in public but he secretly loves bards. Sakurai claimed that Decidueye was almost chosen to be the new Pokémon representative in the game, so the idea of a full archer is something he considered at one point. She also brings axes to the table, which is completely unseen among FE fighters. Blame Intsys for making their most plot central characters sword wielders. Permits . As no replace will happen untill the next smash, at least i want a non swordsman no matter who. controversial due to the random aspects of his playstyle. Ultimate has added another Fire Emblem character in the form of Chrom, which means that the series is the third best-represented series in the game. Ultimate (outside of the special move used by Richter/Simon), so it would make her more unique than the other Fire Emblem characters in the game. Super Smash Bros. The thing that reduces their likelihood is that everything Byleth has available has been done before: fist & sword is done by Ike, sword & magic is done by Robin, and whip-like attacks is done by the Belmonts.

Overview. I also think Edelgard would make for a fairly good moveset. I don’t think Byleth would be chosen solely on the basis of being the player character. I honestly want to see why.

I think the best character would be Claude on his wyvern. Well, it wouldn't be so bad if FE would take a note from DQ and just turn all of these Echoes into costumes. Until recently, the "Most Deployed" screen in Fire Emblem: Three Houses shows that Edelgard is the most used character (that status now belongs to Dorothea), so her status as Best Girl is backed up with numbers and could lead to her being chosen for Super Smash Bros. There are many fans wondering if these two series will cross over once more, as there is a possibility that a representative from Fire Emblem: Three Houses will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Not that she does anything interesting with the axe or has some kind of special moves that could compliment her being a playable fighter, it's just "she has an axe" and that's it. Ultimate Pack. Which one do I think is more likely? If I had to choose one or the other, I'd go Edelgard.

I was just suggesting the javelin be used for one or two attacks, like a forward tilt or an aerial attack.

They accept a position as a professor at the Officer's Academy, and begin teaching one of the three student houses. Blame Intsys for making their most plot central characters sword wielders. By Byleth's whip-sword brings plenty to the table, as does their fist-fighting and white magic. Should I get piranha plant as a DLC character? Byleth would just be more of the same, even if he has a custom moveset, and would further the franchise's bad perception in Smash. Even just using the three freed up spaces to add in Claude, Edelgard, and Dimitri would do wonders for the series' representation and reputation. But I'd rather neither get in and go straight for Claude. Next: Switch Online Subscribers Can Claim An Exclusive Free Smash Bros.
Even gauntlets could be used for one attack, like a charging side special that works similar to Ike's side special.

When TH came out, I was expecting Spirits and Mii Costumes at best, since it wasn't confirmed at the time that DLC would go beyond the Fighter's Pass. Guess what, Edelgard uses a sword as well. Dimitri feels like the least-likely choice among the house leaders as he visually resembles the other Fire Emblem characters in Super Smash Bros. The latest entry in the Fire Emblem series is being lauded as one of the best games of the year, while the latest DLC character in the Super Smash Bros. series has been controversial due to the random aspects of his playstyle. Edelgard is basically the mascot of Three Houses; appearing in the trailers more often than Byleth. It might even stop large portions of the Smash community from sneering at the thought of more FE characters. I don't really want either.

But that's just me.

1-Click Install. Who do you think is more likely?

Has the potential to be interesting but I fear that their moveset would be too sword focused and not interesting but hopefully that doesn't end up being the case if they do show up.

My hope is that this is what will happen whit the next smash.

So with Byleth, he'd be almost entirely whip sword with maybe some battalion or magical mechanics.

Anyway, none of those arguments actually matter since you said the fault lies with IS making all their central protagonists sword-wielders, when the fact is that that's not true; most central protagonists are sword-wielders, but at least three have existed that are not. Robin is another great design since he references actual game mechanics with his durability system. I would say that Fire Emblem is in a weird situation of being both overrepresented in numbers, but underrepresented in variety. The game currently has a Metacritic rating of 88 and it has already become the second best-selling game in the series (behind Fire Emblem Awakening). Simon Belmont is a cool design. D Air probably is good on shield and reads though. You're browsing the GameFAQs Message Boards as a guest. Being the main protagonist also gives them points in terms of likelihood.

Another issue is that, despite the sword in question being a whip-sword, Byleth would be yet another FE swordsman, and a lot of people are tired of FE swordsmen. Flags .

Byleth is the main character in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and would seem like the obvious choice for a character pick, but Byleth is intended to be molded by the player's preferences, so their combat abilities would be hard to define outside of using the Sword of the Creator like a whip. Persona is an incredibly deep RPG series with a monster selection of comparable complexity to Pokemon, and Joker capitalizes on that through Wildcard.
