I don't get why people treat Sora getting in Smash as if it's some kind of selfless charity donation? Even if you don't share my view that Namco Smash, and especially the Ballot, is very cynical and marketing-driven; completely ignore/don't know that Sakurai has gone on record to saying Sora's negotiations were a matter of chance and not effort; and come up with some kind of gatekeepy reason as to why the many, many fans who didn't want Sora don't count, people act like this was equivalent to Nintendo feeding a billion orphans and not just an Exciting Gaming Moment.
