Smash Lord
Well, let the somewhat epic 1000th post begin...
I think the developers
noticed that there was a huge demand for a third Star Fox character. The majority of the fans obviously wanted Krystal because she had a great, original moveset planned out. (maybe with the **** staff?) Plus, another female Smasher would be a great addition.
So as you may or may not know, Wolf is the official last character in the game. He was basically a last-minute addition. I'm sure he would have had some involvement in the Subspace Emissary if he wasn't. So the question, why Wolf over Krystal? Because they simply didn't have the time to develop and think of original ideas for Krystal. To make Krystal, they would have to think of original specials and playstyles and a Final Smash. But with Wolf, you can have similar animations and attacks to Fox and Falco. And the same Final Smash... Think about his up air. It's basically a weak attack from wherever you hit it. It's the same property wherever you pull it off. Almost every one of Wolf's moves (except maybe his up b) are low-priority. I mean, they HAD to add Wolf instead. They needed to copy animations. Think: Slightly different side b, neutral b, down b, same entrance animation as Fox, same Final Smash, and maybe even the stretch of copying others! His up smash, Sonic's up air? His down air, Diddy's down air? Those might be stretches, and I'm not saying that Wolf and Fox/Falco are clones. Just think of it this way, they needed to copy animations. They couldn't possibly do that with Krystal.
So, your thoughts on my little theory?
And remember, please flame responsibly.
