I'm baffled. There's nothing wrong with Fire Emblem, I just don't understand why they feel the need to jam a character from each new game into Smash.
Why?
To boost sales. Nintendo is the one making the decisions, not Sakurai.

Watch out for sodium poisoning.
As someone who collects all the Smash amiibos, I've had to create a second-shelf just for the Fire Emblem characters because they wouldn't fit on one self in my display case.As someone who loves Fire Emblem, even I think the amount of characters in Smash is getting out of hand.
On the flip side, I love watching the meltdowns!
well, this reminds me of the wind waker reveal. as i recall that was a very miyamoto specific want that was incredibly controversial. i loved wind waker style when it was released - tho I do strongly dislike this series creator want
You think Sakurai, the man who loved the series and put Marth and Roy into Melee because he wanted to, was forced to do this or otherwise made to by Nintendo? This feels Sakurai to me.To boost sales. Nintendo is the one making the decisions, not Sakurai.
Some of you are insane. Fire Emblem has been a pillar for Nintendo since the 80's, nearly as long as Mario or Kirby, y'all act like it's some niche series or something and then turn around and think Rex and Pyra should be in instead even though that's a vastly more niche franchise. I will agree that the saturation of FE characters is a little much, but at least it looks like Byleth is going to be playing differently than the other sword characters. Give it a chance before you scream at Sakurai.

Everyone is making it sound like Fire Emblem Characters aren't some of the most played and popular characters in the game.
All of them are within the Top 30. More people will enjoy playing Byleth than another Pokemon character or obscure Japanese RPG character number 5.
Edelgard, Petra, and Dorothea in the reception hall...glad Sakurai chose the three best queens in BE house
I was off by a year. It's still a 30 year old franchise in Nintendo's catalog that has been a staple for the company.
So true...Sooo much content, so many great new IP´s...IP´s people dreamed of - now there is that character, and people get mad. Curb your expectations.So much salt here. Sakurai worked his ass off on this game and it literally is overflowing with content. People wouldn't be satisfied no matter who the character was. You got Banjo, give it a rest.
Which is extremely in-character
It's cool how they threw all preconceptions out of the window by announcing Joker first, so people set all these wild crazy expectations for what the other characters could be
It was mentioned upon the unveiling of the Fighter's Pass.
I mean you could say the same about Sans as well. Not being some high quality model is probably what looks off.Eh...the fact that he just looks like a 3d model and not 2d animation makes it look really wrong to me. Imagine what they could have done sort of like Game and Watch making him appear 2d.
Bernie is in her room.
Actually he had three fingers up, because there are 17 FE "games".Sakurai had three fingers up in the teaser because Three Houses.
You slick dastard.

Now we know the truth behind Reggie's departure.The first reveal was Joker and Reggie specifically said he would set the tone for the whole pass

When did people turn on Corrin? I remember once his dragon powers were revealed most people were pretty hype.
I remember specifically the internet hating corrin for months following his reveal for the same reason. It was pretty bad because he followed Cloud and showed that the ballot kind of meant nothing.
The ballot only "meant nothing" because Sakurai denounced Goku.I remember specifically the internet hating corrin for months following his reveal for the same reason. It was pretty bad because he followed Cloud and showed that the ballot kind of meant nothing.
