Who was the most boring DLC character added to Smash Ultimate?

Folks who aren't Geriatric Millennials.
Like, you don't get to be up in arms about that when you're using zoomer as the exact kind of pejorative you assume I'm using. Either they both are or neither is.
(and I'm 28 dammit. Nobody my age is a zoomer, I've never even played Minecraft)
Zoomer isn't anymore a pejorative than millennial is.
Stop being obtuse, learn from your mistake and move on.
I'd be happy with any of the characters you mentioned. I'm sure I'll get the second batch of characters eventually, just for completion's sake. I'm kinda surprised they didn't announce the final character at E3, just so they could stop anchoring Directs with Smash after all these years.
...Actually, yeah. I had completely forgotten Piranha Plant was in Smash until I read this. Probably PP lol peepee
The final character wasn't at E3 because now Smash still gets talked about for another two to three months when the last character drops and has all the attention for themself.
Byleth was the most anti-hype character they could have possibly ended the first pass with, so them. Looking forward to Nintendo doing it again by saving another boring predictable character for last in this Fighter's Pass like Cinderace or... well, another anime swordsman.
That's kinda why I'm surprised. I'd think Nintendo would rather use that attention to sell a game instead of a Smash character at some point. Clearly it works for them though.
Also Piranha Plant is great. I wish more of the characters were goofy, out-there choices like that.
No Smash character reveal in any Direct has ever taken time away from another game that could have been in that Direct. If they really wanted to market another game, they'd have just included it in the presentation along with the Smash character.

Maybe there is a qualifier before "millennial" you're missing. Enough gaslighting, "fam." Posts like yours make era a hostile place.
It's Piranha Plant, and the only reason people aren't bringing it up is because they forgot it existed, including the OP
Fully expected to be Byleth and was not disappointed. The hate from Smash community towards FE is hilarious and sad.
I extra don't like Byleth because some douche-y user here was trying to talk down on me that having a shitty cardboard character is better than having a PoC. Put that asshole on ignore.
You mean the central character of the game as opposed to a Lord that only represents a third of the full package?
Moveset wise, the one character that feels very boring in regards to creativity is probably Banjo. Barely anyone remembers that moveset/plays him anymore.
I don't think any character is boring in regards to them actually being a boring choice. I think Byleth wasn't the best choice but it could have been Edelgard. There isn't a thing as an ultra boring smash addition, all additions bring something to the table IMO. (and the people voting Steve/Kazuya, IDK what they are thinking tbh)

It's great that nobody plays Banjo because it means they never see me coming when I hit them with the ol' razzle dazzle.
The ol' razzle dazzle is baiting with Grenade Eggs and then punishing moves with Wonderwing.
Probably Min Min. I would've said Steve because I just don't give a shit about Minecraft (before someone writes an essay I know why Minecraft deserves to be in it just wasn't for me) but after playing both characters at least Steve has a unique moveset. Min Min is just so...boring. And I like Arms! Probably more than most people. And I was happy Arms got a rep but I don't know for some reason when Min Min was finally revealed I was just...whelmed.
It's Byleth without a doubt. If Smash absolutely needed an FE rep from the new game, Edelgard, Dimitri, or Claude would have all been superior choices.
Yup, could have easily been one of the lords. At least they're actual characters, and two of them fit an underrepresented portion of the roster.
Can't say I've found any of them boring tbh. Least interesting pick would go to Byleth for me though. Way better characters they could have pulled from 3H.
Also some uncultured folks in here picking Kazuya. Character ain't even out yet too.

All the characters have been super fun, but Byleth is for sure the most boring they could have picked. Still don't think Fire Emblem needed a DLC character. So few characters were added as is in Ultimate why it got to be an FE character as 1 of the limited DLC spots? Y'all got Chrom! Frankly as pointless as Corrin was.
banjo is the most boring one to actually play
but that requires you to get past the Gamer Fantasy Football that is smash speculation

We really do not need to use shit like this when talking about fucking video games, i swear to fucking god
Easily Steve or Kazuya.
Steve because he was a waste of a slot.
Kazuya was so boring not even era reacted to him at all.
As I said Amaterasu would have easily made more impact.

We're not at this point. This is an example of ageism and trying to make me believe that the term i used is equivalent with the hostile terms they used. Don't be upset.
Minecraft is the literal best selling video game of all time. They adapted Steve so perfectly that playing as him is basically playing Minecraft.
Like if we're talking about Smash as a video game hall of fame then Minecraft belongs more than anything beyond, like, Mario and Pokemon.
Byleth, simply because there were better 3H options, including the chance to give FE long-overdue villain representation.
Yeah but he was so forced. Literally people used him one week and then forgot, his moveset was aimed for trolling and that's it. Felt more shoved down than anything IMO.
People still use him, he just placed pretty highly in an offline tournament I'm pretty sure.
I don't know how you can say Steve was "shoved in" when they had to make adjustments to every existing stage in the game to accommodate how he plays.
Look I am as big as a Banjo boomer can be but we're talking Minecraft here. It's been a cultural gaming phenomenon for a decade solid.
That's not "this thing is popular we need to get in on that", and I reject the notion that Steve was some low effort stocking filler when every single level had to be modified to accommodate his unique mechanics.
Haven't followed the most recent tournaments so I'll take your word for it.
I have him in my roster because I bought the pack but yeah I used him once or twice and didnt click with me.
I hate how the CPU uses him as well.
To be frank I cannot see Klonoa even being on a top 20 list for characters Namco would want to rep them in this game. Kazuya at least has a lot of history to him, they could have easily forced someone from like Tales of Arise or Code Vein in if they wanted.
In terms of cartoony Namco reps I feel like the only likely ones would have been the Prince from Katamari, Dig Dug/Mr Driller or even Don-chan from Taiko Drum Master.
This isn't squarely aimed at you so much as everyone who says it, but "I don't see the character too often" isn't a measure of their popularity, it means the game has nearly 90 characters.
