Byleth's characteristics and fighting style
Byleth, the protagonist of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, was announced as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on January 16, 2020, and was released on January 28, 2020. Byleth is the only fighter to have multiple splash arts, owing to the Japanese version having two names for each gender. Both male and female versions of Byleth are playable, with distinct appearances and animations for each. Zach Aguilar and Jeannie Tirado voice the male and female versions of Byleth in the overseas versions, while Yūsuke Kobayashi and Shizuka Itō reprise their respective male and female roles in the Japanese version.
Byleth's fighting style in Super Smash Bros. is characterised by their range and ability to deal high damage from a distance. They are referred to as a "distance demon" by series creator Masahiro Sakurai, reflecting their ability to zone out opponents at mid-range using their Heroes' Relics. Byleth's arsenal includes the Sword of the Creator, Areadbhar, Aymr, and Failnaught. Areadbhar is particularly effective, with a sweet spot at the tip of the lance that inflicts increased damage and knockback. Byleth also has strong defensive capabilities, with moves like Down Aerial, Up Aerial, Back Aerial, Forward Aerial, Smash Attacks, and all Special moves.
Byleth's overall game plan is patient and methodical, taking advantage of their range to plan ahead and learn their opponent's habits before striking with their powerful attacks. Their slow frame data and sluggish mobility, however, leave them vulnerable to fast and agile characters who can exploit their lack of speed. Byleth's strength lies in maintaining distance and using their long-range attacks to pressure opponents, rather than close-quarters combat.
In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Byleth earns the nickname 'Ashen Demon' due to their emotionless demeanour during combat. This title also refers to their unique support ability in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, which enhances their damage output. Byleth's efficient and fearless fighting style, combined with their impassive execution of enemies, contributes to this moniker.

Byleth's place in the Fighters Pass
Byleth is a downloadable fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game. They are the fifth and final fighter in the first Fighters Pass, which was released on 28 January 2020. Players could buy the pass in bulk for $24.99 or individually for $5.99. Byleth is the only character in the Fighters Pass to originate from a second-party series, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. They are also the most recently released fighter in the game and the entire Smash series, as Three Houses came out seven months after Ultimate.
Byleth is the third character from the Fire Emblem universe to be added as DLC, following Roy and Corrin, but the first to come with a stage. They are also the sixth character to be playable as both male and female. Both genders of Byleth are shown together in promotional material, and they have different animations and victory screens. Byleth's code name within the game's files is "master", a reference to their role as a Professor in Three Houses.
Byleth wields an array of weaponry, including a sword, a whip, an axe, and a bow. Sakurai, the Smash Bros. series director, said that Byleth has low mobility, which is slightly better than Robin's. Byleth has many kill moves, including Down Aerial, Up Aerial, Back Aerial, Forward Aerial, Smash Attacks, and all Special moves. They also have a strong defensive game.
The Fighters Pass is a collection of downloadable content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that allows players to buy bundles called Challenger Packs containing multiple fighters, multiple stages, and various music tracks associated with each individual DLC fighter. Players can buy the packs individually or as part of the Fighters Pass. The first Fighters Pass included Joker (Persona 5), Hero (Dragon Quest), Banjo and Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie), Terry Bogard (Fatal Fury), and Byleth. Nintendo has since released Fighters Pass Volume 2, which includes Min Min from the ARMS game, Steve and Alex from Minecraft, Sephiroth, Kazuya, and Sora.
