"Super Smash Bros. Special"(hereafter referred to as "Smash Bros. SP"), in which various characters from different manufacturers are participating, will be released on January 16, 2020 at 23:00.
On January 16, 2020 at 23:00, "How to use the ? It was announced that "How to use the ?" would be broadcast from 23:00 on January 16, 2020, and there was a lot of talk about what characters would be entering the game this time. The "Fire Emblem Fuuka Yukigetsu" has officially announced the participation of "Bylet" and "Byleth"!
The "How to use? I'd like to introduce the contents announced in the "How to use Bylet/ Byleth" section, which will be renamed "How to use ?"
What is Bylet / Byleth?
"Bylet / Byleth" is the main character of "Fire Emblem:Fuuka Setsugetsu" (FE Fuuka Setsugetsu), the latest title in the Fire Emblem series, which will be released on Nintendo Switch in July 2019.
The male protagonist is "Bylet" and the female protagonist is "Byleth".
In FE Fuwa Setsugetsu, you can choose your own name, but the default names are "Bylet" and "Byleth".
In English, both names are "Byleth".
FE Fuuka Setdugetsu has not yet been released, and I know some of you will be playing it soon, so I'll skip the character descriptions this time! We hope you enjoy playing FE Fuuka Setsugetsu!
Announcement from the early distribution date!
We thought that Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros. SP, would start with an easy-to-understand explanation, but he suddenly announced the release date!
The additional paid content "Bylet / Byleth Set" will be released on January 29, 2020! The price for a stand-alone purchase is 662 JPY (tax included).
Of course, it is included in the Fighter Pass, so if you have it, you can use it right away on the day of delivery!
And since there are only 12 days left, it won't be long now!
What is Fire Emblem?
Fire Emblem is the official name, and Fire Emblem is a misnomer!
According to the FE producer, you can say "Fire Emblem" when you write the word, but when you write it, you must write "Fire Emblem" or the Emblem Police will come. Be careful!
The "Fire Emblem" series is a pioneering series of simulation games, the first of which was released on the Family Computer in 1990.
It was a game in which the player had to kill the characters (or "suffocate" them), which was unusual for Nintendo, and it was also innovative in its severe system in which once a character died, they would never come back.
FE Fuuka Setsugetsu is the 17th title in the series. If you count 17 in binary with one hand, you get that pose with the index, middle, and ring fingers up. You don't get that hint, do you!
In developing "Bylet/Byleth", they started development by looking at the FE Fuuka Setsugetsu ROM even before the game was released.
They had to start development of "Bylet/Byleth" even before the game was released in order to include the characters and their stories in Smash Bros.
That effort made it possible for him to participate in Smash Bros. SP six months after its release.
Since FE Fuuka Setsugetsu is a game where the experience and ending will differ depending on the user, "How to use Bylet / Byleth" is a spoiler-free introduction, so those who will be playing FE Fuuka Setsugetsu in the future can rest assured that it will be spoiler-free.
The main topic, "How to use Bylet / Byleth"
The previous episode "How to use Terry" was recorded about a month ago, but this episode "How to use Bylet / Byleth" was recorded in November, about two months before the distribution due to the New Year vacations and other reasons.
Therefore, there is a possibility that it may be slightly different from what is already available on the site.
The Basics of Bylet/Byleth
Bylet/Byleth is a character with slightly lower mobility, but he is a fighter with a variety of attack methods that can be described as a demon of spacing.
The "Heroic Legacy" weapon used in the original story changes depending on the direction of the stick input.
The attack methods and spacing change depending on the "Hero's Legacy," so let's take a look at what kind of attacks he can make!
Magic Sword: Sword of the Emperor
The basic sword is the "Sword of the Emperor".
It is used for the Hyakusai attack, strong attack, dash attack, etc.
For the upper smash attack, the "Sword of the Emperor" changes its shape and is flung with a bellows sword.
The mid-air attack swings the sword upward. The hit radius is long and persistent.
The "↑ + B" up attack extends the sword and draws it toward the opponent.
After drawing the sword, it kicks the opponent downward.
If the accumulated damage is low, the trajectory will be to launch upward.
It can also be used to catch a gakke, so it will be useful.
Magic Spear Aradoval
The "Hero's Legacy" horizontal attack is a spear with a long reach called the "Magic Spear Aradoval".
The front and back aerial attacks are linear and have a long reach.
The side smash attack is a thrust with a long reach that can be shifted up and down.
It becomes stronger when inputted upward.
If the opponent is down, I can input downward and use it for a follow-up attack.
The tip of the spear is stronger.
If you find the right timing and aim the blade upward, you can do a lot of damage.
The "← or → + B" special horizontal attack is a swing attack that boasts an extremely long reach.
The spear is raised after stepping forward, so it can hit even if you are a little far from your opponent.
It hits even if you are on a platform.
Note that it is weak against shields.
When used in the air, it is a large knockout attack.
It is more effective than the horizontal smash attack for vertical spacing, but the landing gap is larger.
Magic Axe Aimur
The "Hero's Legacy" is a very powerful axe attack.
The lower aerial attack is a swing of the axe.
It is useful when you need to make a move, as it can also aim for a meteo.
The downward smash attack swings the axe left and right. It also has a blow up effect.
The "↓ + B" down special move is a full-throttle attack by stashing all of your energy.
This is a romantic move similar to the Falcon Punch, but it has several characteristics.
While it is held, the attack is covered by "Super Armor," so it can withstand a few attacks.
It comes out a little slower than the Falcon Punch.
While in stance, it is possible to grab it, so it is dangerous to use Super Armor too often.
It is also useful for surprise attacks, as it can get through terrain while it is in a stance.
While in stance, you can swing left and right, so you can change direction according to your opponent's movement.
Since it is difficult to hit, it is recommended to aim at a crowded battle.
Even at a distance where you can barely hit the target, you can blow away a few opponents on the ground.
Be careful about using it on counters such as other Fire Emblem characters.
The counter doubles the power and is easy to see through, so there is a big chance that you will be hit hard by it.
Magic Bow Fail Note
The "Hero's Legacy" is a long-range weapon called the " Magic Bow Fail Note ".
The normal aerial attack is an attack that spins the bow on the spot and hits multiple times.
The bow is released with the "B" normal special move.
Unlike Link's bow, once the bow is tucked in, it is held in until the end and then the bow is released.
Since the bow cannot be released in mid-attack, the attack is fast and powerful.
The shield can be used to cancel the bow while it is being held back, so there is no need to worry.
You can also turn to the left or right while aiming, so you can change direction according to your opponent's movement.
Holding down the button allows you to fire an arrow that looks like a ray of light. It is quite powerful.
Once you enter the maximum aim, it cannot be canceled.
So, once you are in the maximum target, you can't do anything!
And be especially careful of opponents with reflectors!
If he prepares a reflector while you are in the maximum target, there is nothing you can do!
It has a very long range, so you can make the most of it.
The last trump card "Shinso Hatten"
The last trump card is "Shinso Hatten".
The player attacks by joining forces with the mysterious woman "Sothis".
To find out who Sothis is, play FE Fuuka Setsugetsu!
Color variations
Not only colors, but "Bylet" and "Byleth" also change.
The odd-numbered players are "Bylet" and the even-numbered players are "Byleth". 1P and 2P are basic.
The 1P and 2P are the basic colors. 3P, 4P and 5P are the colors of some class leader. 6P is the color of Sothis.
The 6P color is the image of Sothis.
The 7P and 8P colors are for when something did something. See the original for what did what!
New stage: Galg-Mak Abbey
The new stage that will be added is "Garg-Mak Abbey" where you will spend a lot of time in FE Fuuka Setsugetsu!
This stage takes you back and forth between the four areas of the original map: the Market, the Great Hall, the Liaison Bridge, and the Cathedral.
The Market
The guest characters in the "Market" are "Dimitri", "Dudu" and "Ingrid" from the "Reuvenklasse (Blue Lion Class)".
In the background, there is a gatekeeper who is often talked to in the original story.
There are stalls on both sides.
You can destroy them.
The terrain expands when they are destroyed.
To move around the area, you use a mysterious moving platform to go up to the sky once and then move with a bang.
If you miss the platform, you will be out of the game!
The Great Hall
The guest characters that appear in the "Great Hall" are Edelgard, Dorothea, and Petra, three members of the "Adler Class" (Black Eagle Class).
The chandelier at the top of the stage can be dropped by attacking.
Note that some fighters cannot reach the chandelier. Beret and Beres are also usually unreachable.
The table in the background can be broken.
Liaison Bridge
The guest characters at the "Liaison Bridge" are Claude, Lorenz, and Hilda from Hirschklasse (Golden Deer Class). There is also a Pegasus Knight in training in the background.
Anyway, it is a wide stage.
Cathedral
The three guest characters in the "Cathedral" are "Rhea", "Cetes" and "Fren. Play the original to find out what kind of characters they are.
The stage has only simple scaffolding.
The "Galg-Mak Abbey" is a stage that takes about 2.5 minutes to complete.
