I believe that Animal Crossing Nook Miles Ticket the best case of the swordfighter double standard would be Sora. He's one of the most well-known asks the world over, and he is a quintessential arcade sword boy.
That said, logic hardly matters any more. Byleth simply uses his sword as a real sword for dashboard attack, ftilt, and utilt. 3 strikes. Literally the whole rest of his kit is full of moves with an axe, lance, bow, and whip. But in case a character so far as smells like a swordfighter this community freaks out.
Perhaps I did not make myself clear . I'm not saying Sora is a terrible choice for Smash. He's actually my #2 most-wanted character. I've played essentially every significant KH match (excluding KHX) and I was a avid KH forum-goer for more than ten years.
Sora has tons of potential for a fun and intriguing moveset. Corrin transforms into a dragon, Byleth uses tons of different weapons, Pyra utilizes fire strikes and transforms, and Hero has loads of spells and RNG control choice. Yet they all still get hated on to be"a different sword user".
My point was that it is hypocritical for people to request characters like Sora in this match whilst complaining about personalities like Pyra being"a different sword user". Because Sora would absolutely play as a sword person, despite all the excess things he'd bring to the table. Being a sword user isn't bad, and no buying bells in animal crossing character ought to be criticized for this provided that they bring an intriguing twist on the archetype.
