Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who may be invited to a future entry of Super Smash Bros, then go into ludicrous detail on what they could be like if they joined the fight for real!
Our Challenger this time is an unusual one. Hailing from a spinoff of the popular Fire Emblem: Three Houses (because they died in the original timeline), Shez plays the role of alternate protagonist with an alternate perspective and a very different set of abilities from what Byleth--and everyone else on the current roster--is capable of. Fighting with dual swords, magic, and some signature techniques, there's a lot of moveset potential here.
But just how could everything Shez is capable of be worked into a moveset? How could the mechanics of a Warriors game be adapted to fit the structure of Smash while remaining true to the source material? And just how likely is Shez in the first place with a new Fire Emblem on the horizon? Let's take a look.
