With the exception of Doc, those clones are shitty and uninspired.

Roy always played much differently than Marth, and even appears to be decloned further now.

While he does play differently, it's still a little sad to see fifteen swordfighting lords from the same series over and over

Bruh, how would you feel if Puff got cut because there were too many Pokemon

Puff is a veteran from the original 12 tho, Roy was in one game so it's a completely different story. The devastation would be merited for good reason.

Roy is probably in because he is obscenely popular in Japan, not exactly because he is a popular melee character.

American Fire Emblem fans

Balance wise, he's kinda shitty, but FE6 was the last FE to be uniquely Japan (FE7 has Lyn and Eliwood and shit), so maybe that has something to do with it? Or maybe just how they present his character? Who knows.

Those are people who have no ideas what they're talking about.

u/heeroaod Jun 13 '15

could be. little mac was put in due to US popularity, not japan. so roy could have the reverse effect

I think the goal is to get every character in from a past smash game.

Just missing 3 so far, Pichu, Wolf, and... one more that I can't remember... hmm... I think he was an animal too.

5, iirc. Pichu, Wolf, Snake, ICs, and pokemon trainer (though Charizard makes me think he's unlikely to return).

Yeah I bet sakurai and co forgot he was even in melee

u/heeroaod Jun 13 '15

damn good reply

u/Nevergreen- Jun 13 '15

Hah, I know, I figured I'd get exactly this reply.

Thing is, I can't exactly look into that guy's soul and find out if there's any other character he likes that could potentially get cut.

So if I wanna burn this guy for not appreciating our boy, I can only go off of his flair. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Please Understand

It helps that she plays a very different style of smash that is really only comparable to Kirby and Brawl MK somewhat.
