I keep hearing how rather terrible the current Newcomer roster is but is it really? was Brawl's Newcomer roster so great because at that time, Nintendo still had many icons left to include? I don't think the current Newcomer selection is bad. What I'm really bothered with, besides Shulk. is Sakurai really going to include every character from the Sal Romano/Gematsu leak? is it out of desperation from lack of characters or because they are capable of uniqueness?
Sometimes I do feel like Rosalina and Greninja are forced choices as it wasn't their time yet but when I think about it. Nintendo is starting to lack in characters. It gets to me how so many great Nintendo characters that are just as capable of uniqueness such as a few examples. Majora's Mask Young Link, Porky, Lyn and Dark Samus were sacrificed to irrelevance. Assist Trophies are good but if its a 1 on 1 match, shouldn't the characters be able to hold their own? they shouldn't need assistance.
As long as the series has a variety of characters to choose from, that's what should matter. I don't understand how some people don't think Kid Icarus deserved a new representation because it really does. Why should relevance and irrelevance matter? the game will still sell pretty well.
And now, is Sakurai really going to ignore, Mewtwo, Ridley and King K. Rool? and add Chrom, making a total of 3 same hair colored swordsmen? don't you that's a bit strange? I'm hoping Ike finally ended this relevance and irrelevance crap because if it doesn't, one of our all time favorite series won't go much further. Unless you want a majority based roster of Pokémon and 3rd party characters.
If the rest of the Sal Romano/Gematsu leak becomes false, I would claim a Newcomer roster of Mega Man, Rosalina, Little Mac, Greninja, Palutena, Pac-Man, Shulk, Ridley, King K. Rool and a return of Mewtwo, besides Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Mii Fighter and Chrom would be a pretty great Newcomer cast. Mewtwo might as well be a Newcomer since he would bring endless excitement.
