If he was playable, why put him in the background in the first place?
Yeahh.. exactly.. That's what I think too. Ok, I know absolutely nothing about animal crossing; to me, that game seems REAALLLY gay. But it seems to me that the idea of this stage (as others have also suggested) is to allow all of those Animal Crossing characters to be shown in a manner that they are there to watch the event of the smash game. If the raccoon thing was a playable character, and not featured in the background, it would be as if all his buddies are there cheering him on- that would be pretty neat idea (Well I think so..)
But since he IS in the background.. Idunno. I honestly just think that if they were gonna put him in the game, they wouldn't have left him in the background with all of his.. umm... subjugates..? (Sorry, idunno much about the Animal Crossing town hierarchy system. And all this stuff with you guys here just makes me laugh. he hee ^_^ )
OH YEAH- and to BlueWave (I think?): I, like most others here, would absolutely love to believe you, but I'm not whole hearted on it. I really think that one of the first questions that someone with access like you would ask
la sourcee would regard the total number of characters, et qui est-ce que le final third party character. Seriously..
If you could like.. do that.. And then also be accurate with a few days of updates (or something on that level of credibility-earning), you wouldn't have to worry 'bout no more "nonbelievers".
Try it....!
Edit: Just saw this a couple posts up..
Actually it's 121 days. But whatever. Counting it doesn't change anything.
