Byleth is the worst idea for a Smash Bros character I've ever seen. What in the hell is Sakurai thinking? ANOTHER Fire Emblem character? Don't get me wrong, I love FE, but seriously, we've got enough as is. Was (Google) Chrom's addition not enough for FE fans to take in? I get that Three Houses is out and it's proving to be incredibly popular, but did we really need yet another FE character? Counting the alternate genders, Fire Emblem has possibly the biggest representative list in Smash Bros history, but why Fire Emblem. Where's the love for Shadow? Or what about another third party, like Resident Evil or something along those lines. Resi even had spirits added into the game, so why not Leon or Chris? Hell I'd even take Geno at this point, or even Infinite from Sonic. Of all characters, why Byleth?

If you couldn't tell, I'm really upset over Byleth being in Smash. Literally, I can't tell if Sakurai is running out of ideas, being very biased towards his own series or is just picking fan favourites. I'm curious, who here actually wanted Byleth? Seriously, I'm interested to know if anyone here wanted Byleth in Smash. If he is popular, I might retract my statement, but still. I kind of did but would have preferred Hector, Sigurd or Alm and Celica
