Question

Why do people want franchise relevance to matter?

Characters from smaller games who would be good fighters wouldn't be able to join Smash NX!

    Then people knew obscure and oldgame series like Xenoblade and Ice Climber and played them. Thats why obscure and old video game characters should be in.

    @Adam Actually Shulk was one of the favourites that people were hoping would make it into Sm4sh. Xenoblade received critical acclaim and is considered to be one of the best games on the Wii. Many people knew who he was.

    True it can bring a lot of attention to more obscure franchises. Makes sense. Im sure it helped the new xenoblade cx recieve a lot more recognition.

    I wouldn't say that smaller franchises shouldn't be represented. I think it's great that some overlooked franchises/games get recognized in Smash, but they shouldn't get more than 1 or 2 characters. Does anyone seriously think smaller franchises like Earthbound, Xenoblade, or F-Zero deserve the same number of reps as juggernauts like Mario, Zelda, or Pokémon?

    But who came up with the rule of which franchise (except 3rd parties) gets what number of reps? Nobody can decide that and before saying "Sakurai put in so much Mario & Pokemon for a reason" realize that they most likely weren't even his choice since GameFreak decides how much Pokemon is added, and Mario didn't get many new fighters but the reps are being overcounted (Yoshi, Wario, DK, Koopalings)

    But what if Sakurai makes it fair to Japan too by putting in 6 FE characters and Lucas???

    relevance matters so anybody who plays smash notices who most of the characters are. pokemon and mario have alot of reps because even non-gamers know who pikachu and mario is. in your fantasy with 6 earthbound reps, what non-gamer would reconize them? few.

    So? This is a fighting game, not a way of showing relevance. Sakurai chose all the characters because they'd be good fighters.

    It's a fighting game AND a celebration of Nintendo. There has to be a balance there.

    How do you know Sakurai picked all the Mario and Pokemon reps because those franchises are popular? Maybe they're in because Sakurai thought they'd be good fighters.

    And it should have at least one more, along with Metroid and DK, because these are major franchises that deserve to be represented like major franchises.
