Topic	Oh boy, another FE character is added to Smash Bros.
adjl 01/17/20 12:05:31 AM #46:	EvilMegas posted... The whole point of this topic and my point is; we have so many options to choose from that would be exciting and unique, yet they keep going fire emblem sword person route. And Robin, Corrin, and now Byleth demonstrate that "Fire Emblem sword person" can also manage to be exciting and unique. For that matter, even Ike was a substantial departure from Marth/Roy's playstyle (which was really weird given that Ike was generally quite fast in FE9/10, but that's another matter). Each Smash has ended up adding an FE character with a playstyle that differs significantly from the others (SSB4 technically added 2, counting DLC, and we have to either count new DLC or disregard old DLC to say that U added one), as much as people like to distill them down to "sword boys" as though they aren't as distinct from each other as from anyone else in the roster. Does that mean the game needed another FE character? No. Does that mean you have to want another FE character? No. Is there a disproportionate number of FE characters in Smash? Yes (though the series is extremely character-rich, so there's an argument to be made that it isn't actually that disproportionate). But none of these mean "it's just another 'fire emblem sword person'" is in any way a valid criticism of the new character. You can watch the reveal trailer for yourself: Byleth's moveset is no less unique and interesting than that of any other character. Acting otherwise is so obviously wrong as to completely undermine whatever legitimate complaints you might have. --- This is my signature.
