Personally, rather than removing the mechanic, I think I'd do things like having an unreflectable Thoron and having overall more powerful and effective magic spells in general.

Journey Across the Worlds Round 1: Vs. :ultlink::ultzelda: (Stage: Hyrule Castle, represents the Legend of Zelda series) Round 2: Vs. :ultvillager::ultisabelle: (Stage: Smashville, represents the Animal Crossing series) Round 3: Vs. :ultcloud: (Stage: Midgard, represents Final Fantasy VII and...

Too bad people aren't even doing that sarcastically anymore, eh?

You don't get me at all. I said that they can be as unhappy as they want, but they shouldn't expect to have many sympathize with them when we get a roster as huge as this, packed to the brim with characters a lot of people like, get a pass of which the majority of the characters are liked, and...

They can criticize something all they want, but they shouldn't expect to not have their opinions be criticized in turn if that opinion can in fact be criticized itself.

Doubly so given that the nature of Byleth's inclusion mean that he absolutely couldn't have.

Yes. Byleth was chosen before his game released. So what? His game is also the latest in a franchise with proven hits, and the fact that they picked a character to develop before he even came out is a sign that they expected that Three Houses would do well. And they weren't exactly wrong...

Yeah? None of that contradicts what I said. Sakurai understands where the argument comes from, so he goes out of the way to differentiate Byleth from the other swordsmen by giving him the House Leaders' relics.

But Three Houses wasn't a bad game. Didn't have terrible glitches, didn't have terrible characters, nor had a bad story. And that's quite frankly one of the reasons to pick a character from Three Houses for a recent pick. (Mostly because if anyone would know that a game isn't gonna be a flop...

And yet playing as Byleth in Smash also builds a connection with them. I know people who hate Corrin in the FE games and who hate Fates and who still likes and wants to play as them in Smash because they like how he acts and plays in Smash. That's building a connection. That's resonating with a...

On the contrary, I think it's a pretty good idea. You get a character who would otherwise have to wait until the next game to make it in and it's cool to try out someone whose game is essentially "out around right about now" instead of thinking "oh, what if this character who got released just...

And that's still more than one year between the game's release and Joker's reveal as Ultimate DLC, especially considering that Joker at the time was still not the most recent Smash character to ever fight in Smash. (:ultincineroar:) Meanwhile, Fates and Three Houses had less than a year between...

Geno is admittedly a gray area. That said, if we treat him as a third party, then he competes with other, better choices for a third Square Enix rep.

Persona 5 was already history at that point.

So do I, but I think those picks will be third parties. A Nintendo character from a recent game that is being developed is something I think is very attractive for Sakurai (and Nintendo) for SSB DLC since 1. It means there's no need to wait until development on the next Smash game for them. 2...
