People are just triggered that their character of choice may not be in or already is deconfirmed basically.
You can tell when people are already going after both Pokemon and Mario (the 2 biggest faces of Nintendo) as having too many characters in a Nintendo fighting game. Who do they support? Dead franchises, much smaller franchises with small character pools, 3rd party nobodies, new franchises that haven't proved to survive time, etc. Instead of realizing they are supporting small fries that will get scrap slots, they expect the world to cater to their niche picks over what's actually hugely popular and recognizable.
As long as the franchise offers exciting character, I'm all for them getting more in. Pokemon excels at this and Mario does as well besides the Dr. and Daisy. But both were low effort additions. I mean we could get a little mushroom guy using explorer stuff, a tall and thin weirdo using sports stuff and vines, or a weaponized doll. And we could also get a siren mermaid, a wrestler cat heel, a edgy archer owl, or a rock wolf. All solid additions.
Fire Emblem has struggled with this, but 3 of their additions were low effort ones anyways. People are hyping Edelgard who would be another Roy or Corrin for promotion and may bomb... and she uses swords... and axes. So still risk of another sword. Claude and Dimitri have unique weapons, but all know waifu on the front is the one people will rally for and the only one with a chance. Another white haired female sword user more than likely.
