damn, i really don't know who to vote for i was dead set on voting for Makalov, then decided to go for Sigurd, but now i really want to vote for Rhea who's surely gonna be screwed i'll try and come up with one character to vore for this evening, at least

sigurd scored very well in CYL2 and 3, considering he's a character from a japanese-only game while it's really hard for him to hit top2, he needs all the support he can get, if people want him to get an alt at all also, let's be honest, lysithea is already so popular she's 99% sure to be released this year also, i wonder if the whole "byleth in smash" situation will affect CYL4 somehow

so apparently during the first CYL event i i voted for elena (1 vote), levin (2), ike (3) and seliph (4) i don't seem to be able to go back and see who i voted for during CYL event 2 due to a site error, but i remember having voted for sigurd and levin during CYL3 i voted for fury, astrid, ishtar, eirika (in this order) and then micaiah (3) i think this time i'll vote for my man makalov every day, but i could end up voting for a different character after midterm results are out

there are simply too many characters i'd love to see as dlc in smash with this second fighters pass, some of them are 2B, Sora (yes, he is a possibility no matter what people say), Mark Evans from the Inazuma Eleven series, Rean or Estelle (Rean for marketability, Estelle for moveset originality) from the Trails series and Phoenix Wright i'd also be fine with a Tales of character, maybe Lloyd or Luke (i like Luke better design-wise but i don't know almost anything about them as characters since i started their games and ended up hating the Tales of series) i think one Gen 8 Pokemon, probably Urshifu or Rillaboom, is all but confirmed also, we know that the 6 characters have already been decided, but we don't know WHO decided them, and most notably, sakurai didn't specify whether these fighters are all 100% original or if there's gonna be some echo fighters i wonder if they implied the same rules of the first fighter pass aplly to the second one I JUST NOTICED: byleth is fighter n.75 what comes after 75? 76, and what's 7+6? 13, as in "13 seekers of darkness" Sora is fighter n.76 confirmed

edelgard's just too short, and dimitri's too tall

i honestly would just cut lucina, chrom and one between roy and corrin, maybe corrin: robin alone is enough to represent awakening, and he's different from other FE characters in smash, both for their look and for their moveset, while corrin's whole point of being in smash (promoting fates's sales) is long gone but hey, Ultimate's motto was "Everyone is here", so we still have to see them in the game (for now) if i really had to replace FE character, not counting that chrom was probaly made in 5 minutes during a coffee break, i'd say this: i'd replace Lucina with Celica Gaiden got a remake not long ago, also i'm pretty sure they'd have been in time to add either Alm or Celica in the base game, but intentionally decided to scrap the idea because the next FE game's main character would've been simply more marketable she would share the "magic and sword" concept of robin, but she would have a much more graceful swordplay, and different spells with different effects i'd replace Chrom with Lewyn Genealogy is likely to get remade somewhat soon, and it's Sakurai's favorite FE game he would of course be a pure mage, and i imagine him being a combo-based character, with many fast attacks, combo tools and quite disjointed hitboxes, but he would be a bit lacking in damage output (top tier material, basically) i don't know who i would replace Roy/Corrin with, maybe Hector

defintely mercedes and marianne ain't gonna play any route without them

hey that's me anyway, i didn't want any kind of 3H representation, because adding a 3H character would've meant that rex got shafted for no real reason, despite xc2 came out 1 year before Ultimate and it was apparently too late, but byleth whose game came out less than 6 months ago was perfectly in time to make it in as dlc i haven't changed my mind, i didn't want 3H in smash, not in Ultimate at least i would've preferred Sothis (even though i'm not a huge fan of her), because she would've felt, looked and played completely different from other FE characters (ALSO SHE HAD THE DAMN LETTER WHY THE HELL DID SHE GAVE IT TO BYLETH); another character i'd have loved was Rhea (no spoiler skin though), she could've been a strange but super cool mixture of palutena (shield attacks and divine magic) and robin (regular magic and sword attacks) with maybe some kicks and punches as her jab attacks! also both Sothis and Rhea would've been purely female characters, something FE in smash needs more of imho (even more so if we consider that lucina will probably be cut from smash6's roster) yes, i think byleth was the only character nintendo selected from 3H, he was just too """perfect""" and safe

i mean i think many people just like edelgard's overall design, body and/or personality, so the only way to "stay closer to her" is via byleth since, you know, that's kinda the whole point of avatars in videogames also edelgard is hands down the single 3H character who's shoved down the players' throats the most, by both advertisements and the game itself, so it's only natural for her to be so popular, as much as i don't like this

ok so now that i've digested most of my salt and assumed enough sodium for a whole month (rip my heart), i had this thought: i get those dimitri, edelgard and claude skins, sothis's one is ok too i guess, but were the super sayan skins really necessary? i would've honestly preferred two skins based on rhea and jeralt over these two, they feel so uninspired, also that reference is already in his final smash so i really fail to understand the reason behind this

it would be quite a nice touch, yeah also they could make unique crit quotes, or even double crit quotes, for when a crit is triggered due to pairing/sibling boost (very boring and not well thought) unique crit quote examples: "For you, Deirdre, I'd do anything!" - Sigurd when close to Deirdre "Lord Sigurd, this is the strength of our love!" - Deirdre when close to Sigurd "Thank you, Ethlyn, you give me strength!" - Quan when close to Ethlyn "This means so much for me, Lord Quan!" - Ethlyn when close to Quan (also very boring and not well thought) double crit quotes examples: "Let's show them what we've got, Deirdre!" "That would be my pleasure, Lord Sigurd" - shared Sigurd x Deirdre double crit quotes "Come on, Ethlyn, are you ready?" "Yeah, but don't be reckless, Lord Quan!" - shared Quan x Ethlyn doubled crit quotes i don't know, i think they'd be cute

as a learner of japanese, this is extremely helpful please continue!

"be grafetul" no dude, that's not how it works: i should expect to get, not be grateful for getting, something i paid my money for, plus i should expect it to be high quality as well anyway this is not the place to discuss this, but yeah the "be grateful" argument is pure BS (akaneia ahahahah please end me), regardless back on topic, i think i got over it: i knew this was bound to happen, so better sooner than later i guess, now the "New Fire Emblem Character" threat is over (watch me being proven completely wrong) and i can hope for completely new series to get a rep in smash

yeah, not gonna lie, this kinda ruined my day, and probably the whole rest of the week, but hey, if you like this, more power to you but hey, at least they released new official artworks for 3H, and Heroes is probably gonna celebrate Byleth's dlc with like 5 free orbs, also Rhea's hips alone are worth the price so we have 6 more characters people can raise their expectations with, nice; i won't stop hoping for sora also i am not mentioning how Rex was too late to join smash but Byleth wasn't, i swear i am no- anyway yeah, deep inside i always knew another fe character would've been inevitable, i just didn't want to accept it at least it happened now instead of later, so yeah... so yeah

i honestly don't give a damn about equal gender representation in feh banners: what i do care about, though, is to see characters i like, since, well, that's kind of the whole point of playing feh also, japanese idols, what was to be expected? yeah there are male idols as well, but come on, when you hear "idol" the first thing you think about is a cute little girl with a fancy dress anyway, i find it interesting that both in the japanese and the western versions of the trailer, tsubasa introduces herself as 18, while she should be 17 (iirc) in the japanese version of the game: censorship is real in spinoffs as well, it seems

i mean it never should've happened, but it only makes sense for them to advertise the game with a feh banner anyway, it's a win-win condition for everyone: you get your beloved characters, i get my beloved orbs to +10 levin and a new (hopefully good) fodder, isn'it just splendid? @Alkaid "Sounds like some people will be real mad if this ends up just being a one-off banner to promote the port of the game." i mean... isn't it already clear as day? they haven't done this banner earlier in 3 years because they had 0 reason to do it, TMS#FE was a flop, but now is the only right time to advertise the switch port. how? with a FEH banner, of course. not gonna lie, this marketing move is kinda genious, FEH's fanbase is much bigger and MUCH more likely to be interested in this game than your average nintendo fan watching a direct could ever be

all of them, currently replaying silver snow because i want to see what happens when you marry her, so no worries yeah, that was basically what i was talking about also jeralt, he's supposed to be the strongest man (or mercenary? can't remember) in all fódlan, but that is all, we're supposed to believe it without any demonstration of his actual strength

oh yeah like claude's many brilliant schemes did they actually show at least one ingame? because if they did, i can't remember a single one

my first FE game was Blazing Sword, and the character i almost immediately fell in love with was Erk i don't know how to explain it, he felt so different from the other characters, yet so... normal yeah, he seemed to me like the most normal dude in the cast, also his introduction with serra was adorable, and he was a mage... i just love mages so yeah, definitely Erk

yeah, that's a possibility too, all we can do is wait and see well, if i can have my brave makalov sigurd, that would make me extremely happy, too bad he wouldn't have a personal skill since there's no way he's getting the 1st place (top 10 would be an amazing result anyway)

that could happen, yes, but camilla was a special case: i don't think 3H as a whole is as hated as camilla, so i don't think people would be willing to route against, let's say, edelgard if she's 1st place in midterm results anyway, i can already see joe zieja rooting for claude and pushing his fanbase to do the same, so yeah claude might as well get 1st place

yeah, this year's CYL event will be super boring and predictable; after all, when a couple has a new baby, he gets all the attentions while the other son is a bit put aside, right? still, i'm not giving up on voting for sigurd and levin (i'd like to vote for makalov as well but honestly he has zero chances of getting enough votes to be in this year's farfetched banner, let alone getting a brave alt) speaking of which, i hope they'll be making many 3H banners, so that this year's farfetched banner isn't full of 3H characters, as i'm sure it would be otherwise: if they introduce them before, the farfetched banner can be a bit more diversified also rip marth aka the face of fire emblem, he's gonna lose this year as well

yeah, i wanted to keep his enemy phase base concept, and yes, i think i'll keep using him even for other game modes, in fact i think i'll try to +10 him after levin btw thanks for your advices

so i have my +spd +1 shannan, i'm really enjoying using him, but i feel like his base speed is already high enough, while his atk could be improved a bit also, considering i'll be using him as the arena bonus unit when the time comes, it would be for the best not to change his A skill, due to high arena scoring so, since i only gave him a double rally, while the rest of his kit is the base one, i'm thinking about what seal should work in his favour i thought about brazen atk res, in order to make him deal more damage and take more hits from dragons: it also works well with wrath i'd give him summoner support, and with arena bonuses he should reach pretty good stats overall what do you think? completely different sets are also welcome

i tried to send you a private message, but i don't know if i did it correctly
