Masahiro Sakurai published his latest bi-weekly column in Famitsu and the subject of Smash Bros and Byleth were discussed as well as fan complaints.
Some of the things discussed in the column include:
– The new fighters weren’t Sakurai’s own favorites
– Once again, Nintendo was behind those choices
– This time Sakurai is bringing the experience to play as the protagonist of a game you can play right now right away
– He tried to start working on a title where the original game was still in development
– Sakurai says he understands well that there are too many Fire Emblem characters
– Also understands that there are too many sword users
– It has been decided like that so he just proceeds as-is
– There are other things Sakurai has to think about more
– Since there are so many sword users, he brings in tactic exclusive to each fighter
– The 3 Hero Relics owned by the three house leaders were being included in move inputs
