Since tons of people want overall relevance and success for franchises to matter, let's fix the roster for next Smash.

First, what are the current sales of every franchise that has reps?

  • It's barely about relevance. It's mainly about fan-service. By the logic of relevance, characters like Captain Falcon, Duck Hunt, R.O.B., and Mr. Game & Watch should be removed because it's been years since they had a game. I say keep as many characters as possible. (Though I would convert Dr. Mario, Lucina and Dark Pit into costumes for Mario, Marth and Pit)

  • I think it's completely about fan service. Billions of people wanted Mario, Zelda and Pokemon characters. Also Japan gets the first say in what characters join so that explains Lucas and the 6 FE characters.

  • Well what about characters like Captain Falcon who haven't been seen that much in the public eye for years? I think Smash focuses less on what's popular and more on what the character can bring to the series. I heard that Sakurai was thinking about having Takamaru be playable in the next installment despite him being in one Japan-only game. (continued)

  • Granted sometimes relevance in the modern times can help character's chances (Robin, Lucina and Corrin), but for the most part Smash is about Nintendo in general and not in the modern day.

  • I heard that Sakurai said the original 12 characters are here to stay so that gets Captain Falcon in.

  • Nobody cares about relevance so much as to cut iconic characters like Duck Hunt and Little Mac. Characters should be chosen over a wide array of reasons, including (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVE TO) relevance and success. I believe this is how many people think, and why people are so upset over the fact that one not incredibly successful franchise got six characters.

  • Remember that no mind is completely void of bias, so when a character one doesn't like gets in, they'll search that wide array of reasons until they find something to use against that character, relevancy is just a more prominent one.

  • Cut Dark Pit and Lucina. Dark Pit is in his origin game an actual clone of Pit and Lucina is the third Marth clone. I'd like Saki in as he is around the lower part of highly requested people and Treasure mainly works for Nintendo and he'd be awesome. There's no reason Takamaru can't make it as his game came to the U.S.
