Super Smash Bros: Ultimate Geno Edition

[Corrderio]

Serious question. Is FE 3 Houses or whatever it's called actually pretty good? What kind of gameplay is it? Sort of tactical-RPG like Valkyria Chronicles? It has a stupid big following on reddit and I see FE memes all the time +_+

It's pretty good IMO. My only real complaint is Part 1 can feel like a slog during free days because of lost items.

As for the game it's somewhat like Valkyria where the flow is you move your units, then it's the enemy unit's turn. Rinse and repeat. But instead of free movement with a stamina gauge you instead move along a grid.

Capcom can't even be bothered to put BoF in Teppen. It's as dead as Suikoden.
EDIT: Shit, a quick search makes it look like BoF wasn't even in Namco x Capcom or Project X Zone.

I just happened to be watching max this morning and had no idea there was going to be a smash reveal. The reaction to yet another FE character is hilarious lmao.

how is Byleth not a logical pick? Its a Nintendo IP, obviously they would want to push its main protagonist. 2 of the 8 FE characters are echo fighters.
Given the amount of outside Nintendo IP characters (DLC and non DLC) we have gotten so far I dont find this so bad.

There shouldn't be that much representation from any single IP outside of Mario and crew

I've heard an argument that the next DLC Pack has 6 fighters to make up for having to add another Fire Emblem character lol

Combat class is in session! Byleth, the renowned mercenary and professor from the Fire Emblem series, is ready to teach Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players a lesson in battle. In a video released today, Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, unveiled for the first time the battle-hardened Fire Emblem character in action, who will enter the arena on Jan. 28 as the game’s newest fighter. Sakurai demonstrated Byleth’s unique ranged play style, and revealed the Garreg Mach Monastery stage and 11 new music tracks from the Fire Emblem series, all coming to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game for the Nintendo Switch system later this month.

All of this new content will be available to players who own the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass or purchase Challenger Pack 5 separately. In addition to Byleth’s reveal, new details were announced about the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2, which will include six more fighters currently under development. By purchasing Fighters Pass Vol. 2 for a suggested retail price of $29.99, players will get access to six more yet-to-be-announced Challenger Packs as they release. Each pack includes one new fighter, one stage and multiple music tracks. Those who purchase Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will also receive an exclusive costume for Mii Swordfighter, the Ancient Soldier Gear from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game, available in-game starting Jan. 28.

“As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate continues to inspire friendly competition and heated matches on Nintendo Switch, the addition of Byleth from the beloved Fire Emblem series, along with the announcement of six more upcoming fighters, represents our commitment to supporting the game with new content that further enriches the overall experience,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will continue to welcome both newcomers and veteran players alike to enjoy the thrill of battle while exploring its unparalleled lineup of gaming icons.”

Byleth joins the ranks as the 80th legendary video game character included as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which features the biggest crossover of video game characters in history. Drawing upon Byleth’s chivalric exploits, their inclusion in the roster will change the tide of every battle they appear in, with clever strategic choices motivating each defensive posture and offensive attack in their move set. With a sword, axe, lance and bow in hand, prevailing in combat will often come down to selecting the right moments to hold ground or advance.

Byleth’s accompanying stage, the Garreg Mach Monastery, also features a variety of cameos from popular characters in the Fire Emblem series, including Edelgard from the Black Eagles, Claude from the Golden Deer and Dimitri from the Blue Lions.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will also receive a new Spirit Board, which features some of the other popular characters from the Fire Emblem series, along with a new classic mode route, “A Heroic Legacy,” which highlights classic Fire Emblem stages throughout the series’ storied history.

Additionally, new Mii Fighter costumes inspired by Cuphead, Rabbids, Altair and various Mega Man games will be available for purchase on Jan. 28. Players who purchase the Cuphead Mii Fighter costume will also receive a new music track, Floral Fury, which was originally featured in the game’s classic Cagney Carnation boss battle.

Finally, two fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will have amiibo figures available for purchase at select retailers beginning on Jan. 17: Samus’s mysterious doppelganger, Dark Samus, and Simon Belmont’s whip-wielding echo fighter, Richter.

Additional new fighters, stages and music will also be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate through the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Players can also continue to purchase the current Fighters Pass for a suggested retail price of $24.99 to gain access to the first five Challenger Packs. Playable fighters Joker, Hero, Banjo & Kazooie and Terry Bogard are all available now, with Byleth joining on Jan. 28. For only $5.99, players can also purchase the packs individually.

why not? Its one of the stronger Nintendo IPs from the last few years that was on the verge of getting deleted a while ago.
The mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes alone grossed over 500 million world wide (stand Feb 2019) after 2 years of its release in February 2017

[Nitsuki]

Corporate ass bullshit releases for a lame ass main character from Nintendo (not a guest like everyone else) that already looks DoA with how slow they are should be free dlc like Piranha Plant.

[Hitou]

I'm only going to get banjo-kazooie out of this DLC pack, and maybe that mega man x costume. Maybe. I feel the same way about Byleth as I do Joker, Hero, and Terry. Don't have any attachment to them so meh. I'm fine with them existing especially since they're DLC and I never have to get them.

Read the last page..?

[Vaspinne]

To give Nintendo marketing some credit, before the announcement of Byleth I hadn't even thought about FE3H and now I'm strongly considering buying it >_>

It's a pretty typical Fire Emblem game imo. If you've played em before then it's nothing really special but it's a great one if you're brand new to the series. Gameplay loop got old for me really fast. Also, not enough husbandos soooo yeah. Tons of waifus tho

[Vaspinne]

I am totally new to the series but I'm also torn. KH3 dlc this month, XIV 5.2 in Feb, animal Crossing in March, FFVII remake in April. Busy time of the year for videogames. And I still need to finish Witcher 3 which I started for the first time ever and just finished the main story of a couple days ago, gotta go through the DLC stories for that.

I do want to try it though.

I wasn't a fan of all the school stuff. It took up too much time and often came at the expense of battling.

[Corrderio]

Yeah the school parts can be ungodly boring in the first half.

[Nitsuki]

The school parts were a piece of what made me quit the game, the battles became too ungodly easy as well. Byleth is boring af as an MC.

Twitter account that leaked the Byleth announcement says that Crash Bandicoot is next.
