The Smash fandom has quite a bit of disconnect from the rest of the gaming public. It’s probably best embodied by the reaction to Sephiroth mostly being “that means Geno is disconfirmed!”, but other examples could be people wanting Wario’s Ware themed moveset being changed to Land on grounds of being “more iconic” (same with Pac-Man’s arcade moveset and World), the idea of Duck Hunt being “substitute Banjo”, the “literally who” reaction to Terry, the idea of Metroid deserving a 3rd rep back in the 3DS/Wii U days, so on.
