Uhhh, this reveal was fine since it wasnt a Fire Emblem swordfighter.

Its the FE clowns that make swordfighters boring.

I mean, all of the completely new FE characters added since Smash 4 have mixed things up so that they're not just swordfighters.

Robin uses magic and has a durability mechanic.
Corrin makes use of her dragon transformations.
Byleth has the other three major FE weapon types as part of his arsenal, and even his sword is capable of extending.

I think the issue is the Marth derivatives, who were all added to their respective games towards the end of development to pad out the rosters, and Roy himself was cut and only brought back due to popular demand in Smash 4. Chrom also had popular demand in Japan.

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.
