TheFire Emblemseries is lauded for its storytelling and diverse character roster, and that has translated into many characters making the jump into theSmash Bros.universe. However, not everyone is happy with this, and one fan has even gone as far as to create a mod that eliminates all traces ofFire EmblemfromSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
With the amount ofFire Emblemcharacters in the game, many fans have feltfatigued from the franchise, thinking that other characters from other games deserve a chance. The mod, entitled “No MoreFire Emblem!”, removes all characters and stages from the game that are tied to the series.

The mod was created by a mod developer known as Akrenix. It’s unclear whether the developer dislikes the amount ofFire EmbleminSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateor simply wanted to create something for those that are tired of the series in the game. Motives may be unknown, but players looking for a game void ofFire Emblemcontent will rejoice at the sight of this mod.
As theFire Emblemseries publisher, Nintendo has grabbed its fair share of characters from the games, numbering 8 in total. However, only 1 of those characters, Byleth, is available as DLC. In a game with 80 characters, 10% of the game’s roster is from theFire Emblemseries.Two more characters remain to be announcedas the final DLC.
While theFire Emblemseries has often been a staple in theSmash Bros.franchise, there seems to be even more of an uproar due to some glaring omissions, such as Waluigi. However, Waluigi comes from theSuper Mariofranchise that dominates with 9 characters on the roster, with 1 from DLC.Super Smash Bros. Ultimatereaches out to various franchises, from its own likeSuper Mario, toFatal Fury, andevenFinal Fantasy VII.
