The roster is weird, but either Nintendo has gone money hungry with DLC or Sakurai honestly doesn't care about the fans. Yes, some people got their most wanted characters. Yes, there are a ton of unique newcomers. Yes, there are also some very questionable choices (exclusions, inclusions, and changes or lack thereof to returning characters). Yes, there is still a possibility that this is meant to market the Wii U version with free DLC characters. No, I will not purchase the game if this is all we get. The trade off of characters in comparison to Brawl doesn't justify the purchase for me (and others I'm sure). No, there is no reasonable explanation for replacing two semiclones and one of the most unique characters in the game with three glorified skins. No, there is no reasonable explanation for excluding a majority of the most requested characters. Call it salt, butt hurt, childish frustration, etc.. I don't care. There are many who feel similarly. If you love the roster, great. If you're happy because you're a contrarion and the most popular choices were left out or because you just accept whatever you're given with no question, then you are the one at fault. Sakurai has this job because we pay money that we earn for his product. At this point, his product does not meet my expectations, and so I will not be purchasing it.
