Why NO ONE Plays: Byleth | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Ойындар

Byleth's controversial release has been met with equally unexpected tournament success spearheaded almost exclusively by MkLeo. Even in spite of that however, they still remain as one of the least played characters in the game. For today's episode of Why NO ONE Plays, we'll be featuring Byleth!

    @@valterain6907 I agree...but Robin can also be so frustrating to play. Purely because Robin sabotages itself by having limited uses on the Tomes and Levin Sword. It's so annoying to run out of them in the most crucial moments. And really makes me wish that Robin didn't have this resource system and that its specials were generally better.

Robin also some very bad matchups against characters with reflectors because it completely invalidates their game plan. The resource system does get a lot less annoying when you learn to play around it, and learn how to use book and levin sword discard to your advantage (and, not to mention how many times I accidentally cheese someone because they got hit by an elwind discard off stage trying to ledge guard)

    Funnily enough I am one of two Byleth mains at my rather small local scene. With two players, Byleth is one the most represented characters here. In my opinion Byleth is a character with great strengths but pretty big weaknesses as well. The video sadly didn't really go over some of Byleth's strengths and mostly focused on the negatives. Just to go over a few of them: Probably one of the best edge guarding in the game, very early kill confirms and setups, a very strong anti-air game and a very good combo game, especially for swordie standards.

    Yeah, Byleth is what we call "A balanced character", one with strenghts as prominent as its weaknesses. *Strenghts:* Damage per interaction, Juggling, Recovery, Range, Kill power, Shield pressure, edgeguards. *Weaknesses:* Frame data, ground mobility, air mobility, end lag, spacing reliance, landing. Is a 7v6, which again, averages out in a perfectly functional character with great strenghts and exploitable weaknesses, making them powerful but constrained. The definition of a low-high tier or 7/10 character. For comparison's sake, let's see a top tier and a low tier. *Roy's strengths:* Kill power, Ground mobility, air mobility, Damage per interaction, mix-ups, Frame data. *Weaknesses:* Landing, Spacing reliance, off-stage. A 6v3, with so many strengths and not a lot of weaknesses there's no wonder why he's a top tier, a 9/10 according to the tier list. *King DDD's strenghts:* Survivability, Damage per hit, ledge traps, Range. *Weaknesses:* Frame data, Endlag, Ground speed, Air speed, Size, landing, out of shield, shield safety. 4 vs 8, there's a reason he's considered unviable low tier; no, he doesn't kill early like most heavyweights, just on high percentages consistently so is quite average, that's why he's considered a bottom 5 and a 3/10.

    PS: If you ask me, Byleth is the best designed DLC alongside Sephiroth. It is balanced which not many DLC can proclaim that btw, it lacks those unfair moments (That discards Hero and Terry), has an enjoyable playstyle for their intended audience (That discarded Sora btw). If your shield got broken is because Byleth read you, the arrows are predictable in timing and is truly slow and clunky; if you lose is a bit of your fault and their reward.

    Also, as you said, it was MkLeo, the king of spacing. He's a master of understanding threat bubbles and use them appropiately to make those unsafe aerials safe on shield; he has an innate synergy with characters like Marth or Byleth in that way. Most players are not like him and have more focus on combos, conditioning or mix-ups over perfect spacing and reads. In short, they're TOO BALANCED FOR THEIR OWN GOOD, their massive strenghts come with massive weaknesses you must deal with, altough is not overly disadvantageous or bland, just good balance coming to play, like the true Shotos, Sheik, Greninja or Sora. No doubt a 7/10 character who is not beginner-friendly like Ness.

    I picked them up when they came out, and they’ve been my main from that day on. I dropped Marth because I didn’t feel he was helpful to my improvement, and when I picked up Byleth, they just clicked perfectly. Their up b and nair have been my most used moves and their speed doesn’t really hamper how fluid they feel to move. Byleth with slingshot helps a ton (unfortunately I don’t get it consistently) and they have a ton of mixups with up b, and it just makes for crazy reversals to getting edgeguarded and their recovery is so cool (wish they had more horizontal movement but win some, lose some). They are a great character who deserves more love and came out at an unfortunate time with all the Corrin hate getting moved to Byleth.

    Honestly, I never expected to pick up Byleth in Smash. I remember buying Three Houses because I wanted to try out Fire Emblem for the first time, but I didn't get to it until months later. Byleth being so fun in Smash is what pushed me to play through all four routes in Three Houses, as well as do the Cindered Shadows DLC. I co-mained them alongside Wario during my time with Ultimate. Not only do I like Byleth in Smash, but I also like Byleth in Fire Emblem itself as well. I don't care how many people say they don't have a personality. They do have one. It's just that people write them off as "boring with no personality" simply because they're a silent protagonist.

I do wish they had voicelines outside of combat, but Warriors Three Hopes does help remedy that.

    Made me happy to hear the Byleth and Sephiroth comparison. I love all the swordies in the game, but once Byleth got in, he basically felt so good that a lot of swordies just lost their chance to become my main. However When Sephiroth got in, he basically replaced Byleth since he does the things Byleth was doing but more in a way that I like, and I have more history with Sephiroth compared to the 6 hours of playing three houses (good game so far, just not high priority. Eventually I"ll finish it!). Still, I wrecked people's faces day 1 with these characters, they feel amazing, but no one else seems to play them properly. Dunno if I'll ever get around to Byleth outside of casuals again though. I realized I prefer playing Ridley over Byleth a bit. Also Cloud & Corrin are close behind for their own reasons. That's not even mentioning non-sword characters.

    11:05 This once again reminds me the concept of consistency, in this case in punishes. Looks like Dead Or Alive 6, were the punishes are mainly the throws, yet they lose to strikes: if an attack can delay a second strike after the first, and a player tries to grab the other during this delay, the one who grab loses because of that ming game. Basically, having negative frame data doesn't necessarily mean it's your opponent's turn, if you can condition them to stay on the defensive.

    Byleth’s run animation is fairly awkward aesthetically too. And now that I mention it I don’t know why the Smash dev team thought that Byleth’s run speed in 3H was their canon run speed. If we go off of actual in game 3H stats Byleth should be fast like somewhere between Roy and Lucina. I think that would definitely help Byleth’s game plan. I also think that the team wanted to avoid another FE sword character and they knew that Min-Min was going to be in the game so they opted to not have Byleth use the whip sword to its full extent and instead base their moveset on the three lords of 3H.

    Great video! I think you touched on a lot of great points such as byleth’s lacking frame data and stats and the need to commit more (with cheese). On the flip side, I think that’s what makes them such a awesome and unique character because a lot of top-tiers are defined by their kits and stats as opposed to their skill levels (with pretty straight forward win conditions). Mkleo is a great example because Byleth has the potential to be played (even better sometimes) as a top-tier through good spacing and mechanics - and various ways to win a match-up. These, I feel are very undervalued in SSBU, but definitely growing in skills as players are getting better at mechanics like parrying, dodging, and spacing. On the flip side, again, Byleth has the potential to be bad on players uninterested in tech chasing, spacing and patience. I know this mostly through playing Byleth casually with friends and I see the difference often with other characters they play. Byleth is def one of my favorite characters to play for said reasons and truly they teach (pun intended) you a lot of fundies but on a more advanced and unique level than other characters. Thanks for making the vods Vars!! Keep em coming!

    I do think Byleth is pretty good at setting up the yolo plays though, her moves just have so much knockback and her nair is so good at setting up two piece combos and tech chases that you get so many opportunities to abuse your really strong tools. Also byleth nair is by no means easy to OOS, people don't get hit by the landing hit every time like in 2021, but it's still really ambiguous when you need to drop shield.

    As a byleth main, it is possible to make him work. And there are dozens of bad match ups that he can win by using cheese. It just mainly requires a good idea of what other mains will do which is something that Leo can do considering his experience.

    Ive seen plenty of Byleths, Incineroars and Ganons when I play in online lobbies, which means that since we mostly play to have fun, we arent affraid to go yolo on matches, people that go to tournaments are more focused on winning and thus tend to pick less risky characters.

    I don't really play in the competitive scene anymore, but I do play with friends a ton and all of them underestimate the fundamentals of the game so their positioning, use of tilts, shield, grab are not as developed as someone who played competitively so I choose Byleth as my main because he's cool as hell visually, his weapon master gimmick appeals to me in a fantasy fighting game, and I help my friends by teaching them how the game works. After every stock exchange I explain what I did and how I did it. No other character feels like mine in the game....except maybe Pirhana Plant. I love trolling parties with Plant's cheese.

Nair is not -9 because of the ground hit box. it's like -5 or less sometimes and i would like to note about his disadvantage state being quite harsh... he finds it very very hard to get back to center stage (off-stage he has an amazing recovery honestly) and unless you double jump his upB oos will bring him to disadvantage! and the fact that u lose your double jump to pressure afterwards or to land before your opponent can pressure you is very annoying for me! i lose my double jump after all one bad interaction and i could be off-stage without it!

    6:27 Exactly right. Byleth has one of the worst burst ranges in the entire game. Other slow characters like Ganon and Incineroar have things like command grabs to mix up pressure but Byleth only has their range. Playing defensive makes it a lot harder for Byleth to get anything done because they are so poor at closing the gap.

    You are right, a fire emblem game released during smash's lifetime, so that game's inclusion was not a surprise. But just because something was expected doesn't mean it can't be upsetting. For many, smash ultimate's roster was a further celebration of videogame history then even Sm4sh, including more characters from outside of nintendo's sphere like the Belmonts, DQ Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, and Terry Bogard, so for dlc characters like Min Min and Byleth, who seem solely inspired by nintendo higher-ups to promote other nintendo games?
