As of right now, we know that she can use an axe, magic (iirc), and a sword.
Considering Sakurai has already said we wouldn't be getting echoes in the fighter's pass we 100% know that Edelgard would not use all of Marth's moves in her moveset. Please don't come into a support thread and try to stir up trouble by making a baseless claim that she would be just a Marth clone when you already know she won't.
Except Sakurai doesn't consider the likes of Falco to be echoes so, while more of a distinction than Daisy is confirmed, we cannot say with certainty that she'd be an entirely unique fighter, either. I certainly hope for the best, though, if she does make it.
No we can't rule out a semi-clone but I strongly suspect that was not what the guy I was replying to was suggesting Edelgard would be. On top of that I personally suspect Edelgard would not be a semi-clone even if she for some reason uses a sword. If they don't think they can differentiate her I just don't think they would add her.
Can't see why it wouldn't be. She's the main character of the new game, isn't she?
"Semi clone" is still a dire fate for any character but I agree. It's probably not what was meant and logic would definitely dictate that they only add highly distinct FE characters at this point. I'm just a little worried after Female Marth, though.
From what I understand, Byleth seems to be considered as the true main character of the game technically. We still don't know all the details though so hopefully the Direct clears things up.
He looks like an evil longsword user to me. Would much rather Edelgard.
We don't know enough details to say this conclusively yet. We've had a situation where the avatar character was the protagonist (Corrin) and two where they were more of a sidekick to the protagonist (Robin, Kris).
I don't know, it kinda felt like there was subtle Edelgard pushes in there. Someone, count how much screen time each of the tree house characters got.
1. 1/4 through game expect big war bad and by 2/3 - 3/4 you get the other’s back.
Maybe, but would it really be for reasons anyone wants to hear at this stage? The only thing we know about her definitively at this point is she's a girl.
She’s also from best team, an actual empire. I don’t want some trade federation stuff or Scandinavia.
Yeah, Claude is cool too, but can't pass up on Edelgard!
I get the feeling that the greater evil might be one of the four smaller nations on the sides of the map — Albinea, Sreng, Almyra, and Morfic. (Note that those four names might be completely misspelled, since I can't read ye olde cursive fonte very well.) My money is on Morfic, since it totally sounds like Mordor.
I prefer Male Blyeth too. Female Blyeth looks dead inside and not in a good way/.
I feel that Blyeth has their own share of downsides towards inclusion that you are kinda glossing over.

It's the leggings man. The male Byleth actually looks like he is ready to teach some military classes.I prefer Male Blyeth too. Female Blyeth looks dead inside and not in a good way/.

While Byleth is the central character to TH, it is clear that Edelgard, Dmitri, and Claude all are going to be key characters. They fill the traditional lord archetypes for their houses respectively. Furthermore, it is clear there is a certain... favoritism Nintendo has for the Adressian empire. We know the most characters from there respectively, and Edelgard takes up way more time in trailers than Dmitri and Claude.
Furthrmore, Blyeth's design works against them. Blyeth's weapon and design do not add anything new to Smash, which is something that Sakurai looks for when designing a character. Seeing Edelgard with a more unique design and an axe is something that tbh I can see catching his eye.
Finally, a neutral choice is kinda dead tbh after
Also I can't wait for the inevitable war to divide the three houses apart completely and we have to all unite for friendship and stuff.
Maybe. I am getting a feeling that this game is aiming for both sides of the FE fandom coin at least.
Maybe it becomes my first Fire Emblem game if things go right.

Added both of you.By the way, you can count me as a supporter
That's actually been a common sentiment. Female Byleth's design is all sorts of wacky. There's the random belly button hole, lack of proper sleeves, the awful leggings, are those hot pants? And is she wearing a push-up bra?
We really can't say for sure yet as we don't know a lot about the game, but it will probably be fine as a first game, though it does look rather different from most FEs.
Am not really sure about this all. Blyeth seems a bit like Robin, and Edelgard, Dmitri and Claude seem comparable to Ryoma, Xander and Azura in a way. Am talking about their general role in the game and all.I prefer Male Blyeth too. Female Blyeth looks dead inside and not in a good way/.
