Byleth (SSBU): Difference between revisions
Changed the male pronouns to gender-neutral pronouns when talking about Byleth's moveset. Feel free to undo this revision, as male Byleth is the default alternate costume.
(→Trivia: added fact about their weapons. Also modified the sentence about the lack of a counterattack) |
