Cutting Falco over Wolf is a really bizarre choice. Let me rephrase that, adding Falco over Wolf in Melee was a bizarre choice. Wolf is the antagonist of StarFox, or at least AN antagonist of StarFox. Not like we can add Andross very easily. Anyway, Wolf is probably more important than Falco. Wolf would have made more sense than Falco to be in Melee. I am not disappointed that he was not cut, but it seemed like they were gonna cut one of the StarFox clan, and it made more sense in my mind to cut Falco. I did not want them to, I just figured one would. I don't understand the point in keeping a character just because they were in twice. I think the only time that should apply is with the original 12. At this point the original 12 are here to stay. The only that even makes sense to be cut is Jigglypuff anyway.
Falco is a definite lock for Smash 6, but for Smash 4 and 5 (Wii U is the 5th, Sakurai confirms this), I was thinking that he was gonna be cut. Simple as that. This is all an opinion by the way, not a fact.
