Overall, I never felt such a void of emotion watching a new Smash Bros. character, neither anger or happiness, just nothingness. And I say this as a fan of Fire Emblem.

I felt similarly when watching the trailer. Though that may be due to me not having played Three Houses yet.
But watching the trailer, the reveal portion seemed less creative than other recent Smash character announcement. Joining Smash gets you out of a dark dimension?
But I liked the self-aware joke about having too many swordsmen in the game. That part felt up to par with the other trailers.
I enjoyed the showcase of the character though. Looks like a character I'd use.

I will also say that it stings that the likes of Byleth and Corrin got a pass despite being super recent, but he puts that as a barrier for someone like Rex from Xenoblade 2. |
I don't think he meant that new is necessarily a barrier in that regard. But rather that because he wasn't chosen for the DLC fighter pass, and is new, the window for when Rex would even be under consideration is more limited. When fans started requesting him, they may have had to wait until Fighter Pass 2 was greenlit before discussing his inclusion. So Sakurai added a Mii costume instead, because that wait would be long.
If Byleth had not been chosen for Fighter Pass 1, it may have also taken a while for him/her to get considered. But because Three Houses released closer to when discussion over who would make the Fighter Pass 2 shortlist began, Byleth fans may not have needed to wait as long as Rex fans to see him/her in the game.

The trailer was a reference to a part of Three Houses. If you played it you'd probably have liked it more... and if you hadn't played it, you probably weren't going to get too excited about Byleth either way.
