Why would I hate to see it? It turns out that a lot of cool characters from video games are anime-style characters who use swords.

Aren't there enough zany cartoon characters to balance it out?

Props for adding a villain I guess.

though its a shame we have 3 square reps and no Zidaine. Would be worth it for the Goku memes

we have 3 square reps

3 Square reps, 3 Capcom reps, 2 Sega reps, 2 Microsoft reps... and yet Bandai Namco still only has 1 rep, and no newcomers this game. If they were going to add an edgy villain with a big-ass sword, it should have been Nightmare from the Soul Calibur series. Yoshimitsu or a Tales character like Lloyd Irving would have also been a good choice.

Lloyd Irving should absolutely be included next but he should also be the LAST sword fighter

wow they put in a rep thats the villain counterpart of the rep they already have in from their most popular IP that they're also working on remakes of

They had so many FF characters to choose from and they picked one from the same game, but whatever just so long as Sephiroth is fun to play as than I'm cool. I was disappointed with Min Min and Steve for not being that fun to play as so maybe Sephiroth will change that.

They should add Hector next.

The best solution to the "too many sword wielders" thing would have been to change Ike and Lucina to their Brave versions from Fire Emblem Heroes, then have Chrom fill the "Marth but without the tipper mechanic" niche instead of Lucina. Ike's moveset could remain virtually the same even giving him an axe instead of a sword, and they could cook up a lance-based moveset for Lucina to use. It would have been nice cross-promotion for Heroes, and it wouldn't break the main series canon because they can both use those weapon types after promoting in their own respective games.

Plus, the "too many sword wielders" argument being greatly weakened by these changes would also mean Byleth's reveal becomes far less divisive.

Nah, just give me Hector. Old Hector, or young Hector. Either way gimme.

Idk if it's a comeback mechanic, but the trailer suggested he gets special super moves with the one wing out. Might be more like Terry's bs (which I guess is also a comeback mechanic).

I'm not upset, but there are so many amazing first-party reps that have great fighter potential that are being slept on. It's a real shame, since the series was initially conceived as a celebration of Nintendo's history.

Sword wielders are worse then most other types of character becuase in a game like smash their just inherently good and shit all over certain characters by default. With long disjointed hitboxs and decent famedata usually.

What they should do is tease that a Super Mario RPG rep is finally getting in just to rile up the Geno fanboys and then have the character be Exor.
