That just sounds like mental gymnastics to make it seem like it was a malicious decision, which it wasn't. Was putting Corrin in over Azula, or Byleth over Edelgard a malicious choice? Plus, saying that Daisy wasn't a newcomer despite the fact that she is, by the literal definition of a newcomer? Pretty sus.Technically, Nintendo (or Sakurai) still chose to prioritize a potted plant over every other Mario characters when they were making the game. The development of the game was probably around 2015-2018 and at that time, they seriously thought that for the next game, it would be a better idea for the Mario newcomer to include a potted plant in the roster rather than characters like Waluigi and Geno (Daisy is an echo so I don't think she really count as a newcomer). So yes, we can say in some way that a plant was chosen over Waluigi and basically stole the slot of the bonus character of the game.
Do you believe that Falco was only a Brawl newcomer once he was slightly decloned?
