It’s a good thing I’m off work that day. I’m gonna have a field day once he’s released.

Honestly I think it would've been great to have an FE character that isn't a main character sword user, which is why Edelgard would've been awesome, but now that we have 8 of 'em in there it feels pretty complete in a way (8-player fire emblem brawls). And also could leave room for other franchises. I also mean nintendo ones. I'd love to see a 4th kirby character and other stuff.
As tone-deaf as Int Sys. has been in regards to knowing how Sak rarely deviates from picking a lead character, I'm glad they accidentally gave him a loophole to work with via the house lords' Three Runes. We finally got the Weapon Triangle after 3 games of swords, and even a bow for funsies.

In regards to Kirby, it'll take a lot to get Sak to get past his comfort zone, but it might happen if this cycle lasts long enough. As for other stuff, I could see Sylux happen at the very least, since Prime 4 is still in the pipeline.

So what are the chances we'll actually get Byleth at a decent time of day? Aside from Banjo and Terry who got shadow dropped right after the presentation, they've tended to come out at like 9:30 PM EST. I really don't want to wait all day.

I was thinking about my characters, and seeing as how jigglypuff is weak to sword character, and Byleth might be good against them, it might end up being a good combination :p

There's this artist at a DQ Discord server I'm in who is making fan art of the four playable DQ Heroes in Smash as Three Houses students.

So far they have completed Solo, Erdrick and Luminary with Eight being left:

I find it hilarious people keep drawing Byleth bummed out to have so much negative reception when really, they'd act more like this:

It’s been a week now since Byleth was confirmed. I don’t suppose there are folks out there who’s still mad about the professor being in Smash?

Nah, they’ve gotten over it now and are waiting for the next character. Smash hate never lingers for long, which is good.

Then you haven't watched the Japan Evo stream at some specific point in time.
I was there and it was toxic af.

I think there's going to be some there until the next character is revealed, though obviously it's going to lessen with time too. If it's a great one, people will focus on them being in, and if it's not, then they'll ***** about that one instead :p

Heck, the way Smash fandom works, people will be defending Byleth to the death in a matter of months when Goomba gets revealed.

I don't know why in the reveal they couldn't say Byleth: Joins THE Smash House.
Byleth: Joins Smash House doesn't sound right to me.

Should have been Byleth: Joins House Smash imo.

I don’t think anyone takes livestream chats that seriously. They are always full of children spamming incoherent nonsense.
Unless you meant something in the actual tournament then that’s a different story.

Finally, I was waiting for this NES-styled character chart to be updated.

Yeah. On the flipside, they'll forget how the pattern goes by the time we get to Pass 2's FP6. I'll end up having to say this sooner or later by the end of the DLC cycle:

I'm pretty hyped about Byleth. Three Houses was incredible and I'm glad to see it given the love it deserves in Smash. Putting in 370 hours into 3H since launch I've become effectively obsessed with it and am so excited to play on the Garreg Mach stage

It really is hard to contain my excitement. The addition exceeded my expectations. 8 beautiful alts to pick from, having numerous relics at my disposal, the Garreg Mach stage and having all my students cheering me on as I murder Mario. I probably am most excited about the music -- it is the perfect fit for a game like Smash. They got in most of the essentials from the OST. It is awesome that Apex of the World made it in! Such a fond memory hearing that track for the first time...

I will say though, the timing is a bit of a pity, since the reveal came way too late for the 4th House to get anyone in as a spirit, although that could change later if they decide to have a TH spirit event.

Forgot to mention: it's nice to know Byleth doesn't have a generic counter move. I was honestly afraid of that. That said, I really wish Corrin's down-special worked like Byleth's, only difference being Corrin turns into a dragon.
It honestly doesn't surprise me, as I've heard that even FE spin-offs like Warriors underutilise dragons these days.

You know Sak is serious about DLC providing gameplay variety when he's finally gotten the opportunity to break the usual Lord toolkit in earnest.

I'm excited to see what people will find when they lab with Byleth, and I'm even more excited to see this character in competitive usage. I hope this character clicks with me like Robin and Hero did.

Hey everyone! I haven't jumped in here since Byleth got announced, but I'm excited we're so close now!

Since they got announced, I've thought that it would've been cool if the seventh and eighth costumes had given them a color scheme based on the class they get with that hair (keeping vague to avoid spoilers!) So today, I decided to take a crack at it just for fun!



Here's what I came up with!

I totally get why they did what they did with the 7th and 8th outfits, but damn if this color scheme isn't a whole lot more interesting than the green hair by itself.

The actual Enlightened One outfit looks tacky as all hell, though lol. I make sure to use the Sothis Regalia costume every time I decide to put Byleth in that class.

I have to work all day tomorrow, but you better believe I will be playing Byleth afterwards. Start in the training mode then straight to classic mode.

Hi everyone! Good to meet you all. My name is Plino (though I also go by Indigo Jeans and whatever variation of that you can think of) and I am so, SO hype for tomorrow. I really wanted Byleth to make it in but didn't honestly believe they would, so this really does feel like a dream come true, ha ha.

Hello all,

I am super excited! Byleth was one of my top requested characters alongside Ryu Hayabusa and Raiden (MGS). I honestly didn’t think he had much of a chance.

I’ve mained Ike, Corrin, and Shulk in the past 6 years so I think he’ll fit perfectly with the archetype I enjoy playing! I absolutely can’t wait to start labbing tomorrow!

I have to work, but I’m out at 3:30 EST, so hope he comes out early.
