Hmm. I'd say the academy look would probably be the default since that's what she was in for the advertisements and the likes. Makes her feel more recognizable. As long as both get in the game I can't say I'd care either way about the other about which I play as or which is the default though
The war look appeared in trailers as well, to be fair, though you're quite right that the academy look featured more prominently. Personally, I much prefer all of the war outfits as they're much more unique, so I'd rather have her in with that, especially since I think having a FE character who actually had a shield would be pretty neat. We've already got swordsmen and mages, so it'd be nice to have a FE character who embodies the heavy armor side of things.
Might wanna chill a bit. You're being combative again.
If you're able to, could you give some consistent statistics? As in, which characters are always making the list?
I could definitely see it as well, but you just can't trust polls. We've been lucky enough to get an objective measure provided to us directly by the devs, and that makes it pretty clear that Black Eagles has been by far the most popular route since launch. Which could change in the future, of course!
Just wanna comment in terms of CYL, while I understand the concerns about potential competition (I mean, who DOESN'T want Brigand Boss?), keep in mind that Three Houses is the newest game in the series. As a result, people are likely to jump at the chance to vote for them, due to their relevancy (as is the case with any FEH-original characters at the time of their debut: Surtr did pretty well in his first CYL when he was still new). I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of the Top 100 has Three Houses characters, though that depends on how many characters are actually in the poll.
Ugh I swear if Dimitri's popularity means validating his route as "canon" and painting Edelgard as a one-dimensional evil villain (because Dimitri fans and perhaps FE fans in general NEED to feel good about themselves), I will be SO pissed. Even more than them putting him in Smash over Edelgard.
I was mostly talking about it how would be affected by the mentality of wanting certain characters to have a Brave Alt (and for some popular but a bit forgotten characters, to be considered for Brave Redux 4). I was actually planning to vote a bit for that reason before moving to Edelgard.
This is a phase, we need to see if this trend continues, just avoid over reacting to them because you're essencially fueling their need for be considered special or something.
Joe Zieja will do everything in his power to make sure Claude takes 1st place in the Men's bracket. Granted, I see a lot of the VAs that are active on Twitter to be pushing for their character to rank well in CYL 4. I'm really curious if Three Houses could pull off a clean sweep.
Yeah, the only thing that could potentially stop Edelgard from taking 1st place in the Women's bracket is Anna. All because a bunch of people just want an Anna alt for the sake of having one,
Anna isn't really that big, and I'm saying that as someone who loves her and wants an alt for her.
So what exactly makes you think Edelgard deserves it that much more than Dimitri?
I don't think people will argue Byleth has (at least under the most regular circunstances) the biggest claim as the Smash Bros choice. So that is the reason they're always assumed even aren't exactly a popular choice for well... obvious reasons.
To be honest, neither Byleth or Dimitri would look or play anything like Marth.
Dimitri definitely has a claim for a unique moveset because of his Spear and his very "savage" way of attacking. I'm curious how Byleth would difference himself from the other zoners that uses Swords and Whips... because his weapon is kind of both.
Because she's not only one of the central characters in the story, but she's also the closest thing to a "villain" rep for FE? Her being female is also a bonus seeing as all the new characters have been nothing but sausages.
Nothing wrong with that considering the Sword of the Creator and time-rewind shenanigans, IMO.
I'm imagining hitboxes that are a lot more flexible (literally), say instead of the usual "stab sword" or "whip in a straight line". Perhaps also some Martial Arts as Nemesis or Seiros does, since he bears the Crest of Flames. Say that tapping a button is a regular slash, but holding the button would have a slower, but longer-ranged whip type slash. Maybe that's just because I main the shotos, though.
I would call her more an antagonist than a villain, the devs did an amazing job making Edelgard as morally grey as possible, even if it's not perfect.
Sounds more like you have a problem with toxic fans of Dimitri instead of Dimitri himself as a character, and that if it was Dimitri instead, suddenly everyone will bully Edelgard fans or something. It's not gonna happen, the only salt is just from people who hate FE because Marth clones or whatever.
I'm still not convinced about the time rewind shenanigans, they keep sounding to me way too OP than people realize.
Also speaking of the Crests...spoilers from BE
I completely agree, but Smash has a tendency to portray grey characters/anti heroes as villains in Smash, like with Mewtwo, Dedede or Dark Pit, so I'd say she still counts for one.I would call her more an antagonist than a villain, the devs did an amazing job making Edelgard as morally grey as possible, even if it's not perfect.
This. This so much.
Really? I don't get those type of vibes from the characters, especially Mewtwo.
Nah, I meant it more as a teleport than as actual time stop.
It was more obvious when Events were still a thing, like in Melee there was a fight against Giga Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo as the final bosses.
If it is mostly on the ground then it wouldn't be broken I think.
Considering Awakening Anna managed to take 5th place overall, we may see a repeat of Alm from last year, where he was talked about as among the characters deemed neglected by IS. They may try to brute force one of the Annas to the top. Maybe Awakening Anna, assuming they remember.
I just checked, and you are right, Amma did ended up beating Female Robin in the final 2019 results.
I think of it like Farore's Wind in OoT. You set the place you want to "turn back" to, and after some time passes, you'll be able to instantaneously appear where you last set it. You can't use it in the air since I'm not trying to make it a recovery, just a unique movement option that isn't a counter. It could have cool combo set-ups that arise from it, too. It's gonna be like Banjo's wonder wing, limited uses because Sothis is the grandma god with the rules around here
Dimitri has a very cool way of fighting but I won't delude myself thinking he's getting in before Byleth. His savage and wild swings of his Lance would be spectacular to see in Smash however.
Yeah, people tried very hard to vote for Anna, not matter how (making this the funny case of her Shadow Dragon/Mystery version being the most wanted character from those games).
I have a hard time thinking of Divine Pulse as anything other that a Counter (I mean, it already happened with Shulk's Monado).
Divine Pulse is definitely not a counter, the main canon purpose is to go back and do it again and not **** it up this time.
