I would have taken literally any suggested character over Byleth.

I don't want to get into the argument of like, 'wow my favourite didn't get in!' but it does seem weird to me that some Nintendo franchises have no reps at all (like ARMS or Ring Fit Adventure, to name just a couple of Switch games) but Fire Emblem gets ten or so. I know the series is popular, but i'd be interested in knowing what goes into the thought process behind the picks.

Honestly though, I'm glad I never got the fighter pass. There isn't a single character I would pay money for. Luckily the base roster is amazing.

This doesn't seem worth the amount of work it took to cut this announcement video, not to mention all the work it took to put the "character" in Smash.

What would have been even remotely surprising about this reveal? The way Sakurai hyped it up just before the trailer I was expecting something crazy...

Thats just like so awful.

Terry, Banjo and Hero were less than $20

I won the bet I had against myself that I would not be interested in all 5 fighters so dont buy the Fighters Pass. Congratulations me

I didn't realise Byleth was part of the season pass. Gosh is that thing a bummer, in retrospect.
wow that female design is bad. is that really what it is. fire emblem's gotten pretty bad huh
Yeah, unfortunately. It's a few steps away from going full Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Sakurai should make a Fire Emblem fighter if he likes the series so much, instead of filling the Smash roster with FE characters. So many other Nintendo series have so few characters in Smash compared to FE it's unfortunate.

I've said it before many times but I wish I could get excited like everyone else. The only problem is all the characters I want to play like Link and Samus are already in the game.

This is still good news though because I'm sure some people will be happy and the more people who are happy the larger the community grows.

The male/female thing is cool but that does mean an extra amiibo I will need to buy to complete this damn collection...

Love Three Houses and FE in general, but this was lame. Byleth themselves aren't interesting; they should have gone with Edelgard instead.

This is good for fans of the Fire Emblem series. But, it is a very safe choice to round out the Fighters Pass. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already has seven characters from Fire Emblem, did we need another?
