Was Adding Byleth as Smash Ultimate DLC a Bad Decision?

KeenGamer: "Compared to the overwhelming hype produced by the inclusion of Joker and Banjo-Kazooie, Byleth's inclusion as Smash Ultimate DLC has been met with a lot of criticism. With all the outcry, do fans have a reason to be upset with Nintendo? Or are they expecting too much with the power of possibility?"

No I dont think it was a bad idea.People were expecting too much and assumed every new fighter was goIng to be from a 3rd party dev. I knew Byleth was going to be added at some point as Fire Emblem is a big seller for Nintendo. I'm also fairly certain a Sword and Shield rep will make it in at some point and people will be in an uproar over that.

The only character that was greeted with little critism was Banjo. Joker, DQ Hero and Terry all got greeted with cheers and jeers. Either for being too new like Joker or being obscure like DQ Hero and Terry where their popularity is region specific. Hero being big in Japan and Terry being popular in S. America. Hero was also slammed for being another sword fighter and the only thing worse than that now is a Sword fighter from Fire Emblem these days.

Byleth wasn't a bad choice, they're a unique character and Fire Emblem Houses sold pretty good. The people complaining are acting entitled, simple as that. Would Byleth have been my first choice? Heck no, wouldn't even make my top 10, but the DLC has been so amazing so far, could I really complain?

They obviously put time and effort into the character and there are people who did want them in, it's incredibly inconsiderate to whine this much. It's not like they just released and echo fighter as the last DLC, now THAT would be a scam, but this is perfectly fine.

No point in sulking about it now, especially when we’ll get the next new character by the end of spring

If Byleth was a bad choice, what does that make Terry Bogard?A lot of the smashers I've seen complain didn't even know who he was lol, at least most Switch owners are going to know Byleth.

They're isn't already 7 other KoF characters

As a casual fan of both Smash and Fire Emblem no it wasn't run but considering that this particular battle pass was mean to insert characters that you wouldn't normally see in Smash it was quite a bone headed decision to include a Fire Emblem character since they've had characters from that series since Melee.

Im sure the pros will use him to great effect thanks to his airborne nature. As a casual but fairly serious player I find his moveset to be effective but extremely boring.

This was so hype for me ngl. Love tekken

Sonic-and-Crash1803d ago

they keep adding Playstation characters lol.....what a waste of potential from Sony back in the years of PS Battle Royal ....they didnt took the game seriously and these are the results, Nintendo earning money from franchises that were born and became famous elsewhere ....we ill see Crash B soon i believe

GameBoyColor1803d ago

Sony really dropped the ball. Especially adding fake dante, that game was doomed to fail.

archibold1802d ago

This is pretty cool, however his character model seems a little.. rushed?

roadkillers1802d ago (Edited 1802d ago )

Has he ever been on a Nintendo system before? At this point Smash is a collection of all gaming.

ZeekQuattro1802d ago

Tekken games have been on the last two Nintendo platforms so yes.

roadkillers1801d ago

Okay, I only remember it being generally a Playstation brand game.

SDuck1802d ago

Don't play Smash but this trailer is hype. That ending with Kirby was epic but I was kinda wishing for the pile of bodies to be at Kazuya's level by the end
