I think my issues with Byleth come from the fact that Robin was a LOT more organic of a way of doing it. Robin had the benefit of their game actually being out during Smash 4's development, he had years of figuring out what to do with him. I don't entirely love Robin, but I think it's a more fulfilling way of handling what was then a trend with Fire Emblem rather than a massive, budding problem, Byleth just has better unga bunga buttons that are more satisfying, and I'll freely admit those are important, but I'd rather have the pieces of Byleth put on complete movesets than the weird mishmash of a character we ended up with. I do think, if they trim FE down (and they should), Marth/Ike/Robin is a solid core, you can rotate out another classic lord to fulfill Roy/Chrom/Lucina's function (or just pick one, all three do that moveset fine), and then give the new FE character some of what Byleth's got, but hyper-focus on one weapon. I like Amir and Blaiddyd a lot more than I like Byleth.

Will throw out more perhaps later tonight or tomorrow morning, busy night of pretending I'm an authority on Donkey Kong lore and scriptwriting ahead, really glad to see my disdain for Corrin isn't entirely unfounded on "ew gross game with rapidly fluxuating gameplay quality".
