There is still Nintendo higher ups who may want Byleth instead because protagonist/avatar charscter privilege (Japan LOVES their avatars). Only thing I feel is in Edelgard's favor is Sakurai supposedly saying he wants an axe fighter some time in the past but I do not know if it was FE-related ontop of feeling it is just a one-off line.
Show me the pictures of the Byleth Figma. Oh wait, you can't because only Edelgard has one. Show me the Byleth cosplayers hired by Nintendo for official events. Oh wait Edelgard has those too.
Now show us the results of popularity polls.
Thing is, polls always have multiple different factors beyond results, who voted in the polls? How many people? Where did they come from? Etc. It's how characters like Dorothea score high in the west but score low in Japan and vice versa for characters like Gilbert.
It would put ARMS and Xenoblade 2 in a very awkward position. Too new for base game but too old for DLC?
Rex didn't get in because he couldn't make the 8pm meeting for his Smash job interview as that's past his bedtime
Base game content isn’t really made in the same vein as DLC content. Sakurai seems to have free rein with the base game to love whatever Nintendo IPs he wants but DLC needs to go through a whole bunch of other factors. Hence why he apologised for Rex.
Yeah, DLC is third party.
I think it would be absolutely ridiculous if Byleth made it in while other Switch era characters like Rex, Spring Man, and now Officier Howard all got left in the dust.
Personally, I still think spirits deconfirm characters. If Sakurai made them spirits then he probably has no other plans for them. Seeing Resident Evil and now Astral Chain becoming spirits, that only makes it more apparent.
Yeah it WOULD be ridiculous to get Byleth, which is why we're getting Edelgard. Not to mention the first 2 examples wer base game and Astral Chain was a new, unproven IP so 3H has the edge as it's a new installment in a major Nintendo IP
So where's the Gen 8 Pokemon DLC then
On the spirit board cause Sakurai's boycotting the game for not having Glameow obviously
Gen 8 got spirits too....
Only major Thing these dates will talk about is the stuff for DMC3 Deluxe on the Switch. And going by the line dropped by the director, it sounds like it's gonna be
I'm implying Dixie Kong probably wouldn't come with a stage. We've had 2 First Party DLC newcomers so far, and neither has come with a stage, nor did the 3 First Party veterans they brought back in Smash 4 and furthermore, the only stages we've seen thus far in Ultimate have been based around entirely new characters with the exceptions of Great Plateau Tower and New Donk City (which, come on, that's Mario and Zelda we're talking about). Dixie Kong was also specifically an example because she'd probably be a semi-clone of Diddy Kong too, which does even more to probably indicate she wouldn't come with much. Like I said, they could make her come with stuff, but history seems to say otherwise as does the actually quite high amount of content for DK already in the game.
Source?
https://www.lootpots.com/articles/b...-has-been-rated-for-nintendo-switch-14012020/ Saw it on the Switch subreddit this morning, Taiwanese rating. These things don't always pan out so take it with a grain of salt. Bioshock on the Switch would be killer though.
I just saw this as well. Maybe this could be shown at a direct.
Spring Man, who’s an AT: Helloooo? Did everyone forget me or?
Considering ARMS is seen as shovelware yes
For the matter being, Under Night In-Birth for Switch was also leaked through an asian rating (not sure if it was Korean or Taiwanese though), so there's a precedent for this kind of things.
Show me literally anyone other than an avatar being the unique Fire Emblem newcomer for these past two Smash games.
tbf sakurai would probably design byleth's moveset around the capabilities of the sword of the creator with whipsword shenanigans rather than give em an axe for more than like, maybe one attack
So can everyone else in Three Houses. He'd go by what a character excels at.
