Over a year since Byleth released...and unfortunately, people still aren’t over it.

In fact, they’ve mostly gotten over the #FreeMelee controversy quicker than Byleth. Just goes to show people will hold petty grudges against FE. :/

To be fair, people REALLY overexagerated how much of an impact #FreeMelee would have. It basically became another NatDex situation.

Once the entire roster of this is complete, I plan to do a post where the students of the three houses do a report on the fighters. I know you'll probably miss Biff's commentary, but I'm sorry; I just loved the diverse cast of Three Houses.

Assuming there'll be 84 slots excluding two of the Mii's plus random in the final roster,
each of the 21 non-leader students will have 4 reports.
Most of them will talk about the fighters in private with Byleth except for Hubert, Dedue and Hilda who'll instead talk with Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude respectively.

Just got the Byleth Amiibo, and it's nice! My original Best Buy pre-order got delayed, so instead I found one in stock at a nearby store and got it there. I really like the attention to detail on the clothing and sword, and the face looks alright, certainly better than the old Marth Amiibo. I've seen a handful of weird eye placements online, but mine looks pretty normal, which is nice. I nicknamed him Bynary in honor of Sakurai's counting-in-binary tangent during the Byleth showcase.

Any other fun nicknames anyone's come up with for a Byleth Amiibo?

It was good this year up until a few months ago when they added two awfully broken units within a small amount of time (Legendary Sigurd and Fallen Edelgard), the meta is still struggling since their inclusion and people have quit/sent angry feedback over it. So not a great time to rejoin lol. It's a shame, it had a good thing going this year.

I mean, this year had a bunch of Three Houses content, so of course it was gonna be good.

Happy second anniversary to FE3H! It’s wild to think it’s already been 2 whole years. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out my two mains (Byleth and R.O.B.) have the same birthday lol

Recruits Byleth in Three Hopes and starts having a blast with him

Hmm... Why do these circumstances feel so... familiar?... Ah, yes, now I remember! It is that odd feeling when a worriors game does a character far more justice than a Smash game! Just like with Ganondorf in Hyrule Warriors a decade ago! lol Byleth didn't get screwed anywhere near as bad as poor Ganny did, but I still thought he was a missed opportunity character with the potential to be far more unique than what was done.

Japanese Male Byleth sounds a lot deeper in Three Hopes than in Smash. I haven't played Three Houses yet, so I don't know which one is closer to the original.

Yes this is true, I'd actually love it if they gave Byleth their canon moveset next game based only around the Sword of the Creator, with some brawling attacks and magic for Specials. The rest of the moves using Areadbhar and Amur could potentially be used to build Dimitri and Edelgard. I do think Three Houses warrants at least 3 playable characters.

I would rather him just be sword plus magic. Brawling leads into one of my major issues with Byleth in smash. The weapons appearing and disappearing. It looks terrible, and even worse in slow motion. I feel that he could use the Sword with his right hand and use magic with his left. This way the tome switching is much less noticeable and everything feels more natural. Maybe even do what his jab does where he uses unarmed combat instead of gauntlets for some of his moves.

Oh that's what I meant ! Just regular unarmed brawling, it's even a skill in Three Houses so that wouldn't even matter for the canon purists out there. But yeah, make Byleth the Mage Knight, this way they could potentially remove Robin even.

While he could stay as a mage knight, I would rather no durability as well. Hero and Robin show why its better to have good moves that have no limit than amazing moves with limited uses.

I see no reason for Byleth to have that mechanic. It's added just to be "special" and it's honestly way too gimmicky for my likes. Byleth isn't often showed as a magic specialist either compared to Robin, so I don't think they'd need that many magic Specials honestly. It would just work with the overall ranged playstyle that's been forced unto Byleth. It's a shame cause the Sword of the Creator is a unique gimmick by itself.

However due to the sheer succes of Three Houses I doubt Byleth is going anywhere. I think they're just about the safest pick for a sure return spot next Smash. Not more so than Marth, but maybe equal to Ike and definitely above all others who are not Marth and Ike.
