This is Smash, not Mugen. At this point all that are left are meme characters like Sora, Dante, and Doomguy and Id rather have someone that looks interesting rather than someone whos obligatory like Min Min.

People keep bitching about the FE echoes even though Sakurai himself said they didnt take away from potential actual new characters, and I know for a fact anyone who says they all play the same either havent actually played any of them (likely) or have only played with Marth and Roy (more likely)

Plus aint nobody said shit about Hero despite him being one of the progenitors of modern sword JRPG guys, far as Im concerned people only want THEIR sword guy in the game
