Why should Link get multiple reps as the same character, but in a different style?

They could do that with practically ANYONE...Why does Link deserve that?

I would like if they had like a break down thing. This goes back to the whole costume thing. Like it would be Link----> Majora's Mask---> Zora Link or Link----> Twilight Princess------> Wolf Link

Ok please give another form of Diddy,

And because Link is asome and has many differnt orignal forms
I said PRACTICALLY...

I guess an alternate Diddy could be Diddy/ Dixie duo though

Other characters that can:

Mario, Luigi, Wario, Samus, Bowser, Yoshi, (A lot more characters depending on HOW different you mean exactly)

But the closest one is Samus...

Asking for WW Link is basically asking for Fusion suit or some random other suit Samus but with some different attack like Ice Beam and Super Bombs or something...

But Fusion would be a clone, along with most alternates you would mention, But WW Link has a lot of differnt wepons, and you can't say Deku of Wolf Link would be a clone

Wolf Link is a dumb idea from the beggining, especially since Link doesn't have transformation. It's JUST a wolf anyway.

WW Link has different weapons...so? You could make 10 different Links with all the different weapons Link can equip and has over the years

Ok, yes I know Wolf Link is a dumb idea, at best he could be pared up with minda,

But WW Link, or who I call young link, has became a whole new character in a new world, its almost as if there from two differnt series now

Whoa whoa WHOA.

Bald Bull is NOT Little Mac in any way, AT or not. The two are totally different. Yes, the franchise was represented, but not the character.

-Wario
Not much to say, he was deserving and he is in.

-Toad
IMO he is not playable character material. I think he is fine in Peach's moveset.

-Waluigi
Hell no.

-Hammer Bros
A good AT IMO, since they have been in Mario Bros since the beginning.

-Captain Olimar
Unsure. He is deserving of playable character, but I just can't picture the movesets that people post. I can easily see him as AT at least.

-Dark Samus
Yes, easily not a Samus clone if you know anything about "her" and Metroid deserves more representation. Second best rep only to Ridley.

-Diddy Kong
Glad to see him in, he was deserving, DK needed at least another rep or two.

-Grit
Of all the Advanced Wars characters? Nothing against him but I figure someone else would be chosen. There is the AT, I wonder what else that franchise will get, if anything?

-Fawful
Haven't played it. But if he is a one time character I doubt he would get anything more than AT.

-Poo
I don't know a whole lot about Mother but as far as I know I would rather see Claus.

-Pit
Not much to say here.

-Bald Bull
Or here... Although he was a different character than Little Mac.

-Ike
Good to see him in.

-Paper Mario
No, we already have a Mario. Sticker maybe, trophy if he is lucky, but nothing higher than that. Not even AT.

-Sonic
Hate that people say Sonic sucks, most people who say that only know of "current" Sonic and not classic Sonic. He is definitely a worthy character and I am glad to see him in.

-A Vacuum-Wielding Luigi
Not as a solo character. I think Luigi will have attacks with the Poltergust similar to how Mario does with FLUDD

-Deku Scrub Link
Better than WW Link but I really don't want to see Link appear in the game twice again as playable.

Why do you think he should be in? Yes we have a Mario but think of the many different moves they could set for him. He could have star spirit powers from the first game, star crystal powers from the second, and little pixel powers from the third.

Think of all the moves we could give a second Samus. Ice Beam, various beams like the Wave beam, and plasma beam, more morph ball functionality, basically there are a ton of ways she could get a second character and get a unique moveset.

Or any Pokemon character for that matter, with all the moves that have been released in that series.

I disagree with two of the same character in the game, and feel that just because Melee had two Marios and two Links doesn't mean Brawl will.

And for the argument that everyone makes "THERE ARE TWO SAMUSES THOUGH!" - No. All evidence points toward Zamus only being playable after the FS, there will not be a way to start a match with her like there was with Sheik. This could turn out to be false, but in the past Sakurai said "Zero Suit Samus will be playable under special conditions." Selecting her from the roster or holding a button down as the match starts is not much of a special condition.

Fawful speaks like this:
This victory shall be a delicious sandwich! And this battle shall be the mustard on this delicious sandwich!
The mustard of your doom!
So, i'd say something that ridiculous could easily be an assist trophy.

I mean, look at Mr. Resetti. If he could get in, i'd say something that can actually attack could attack has a chance.

Yet, you think Dark Samus should be in...-__-. Honestly, anyone who wants Dark Samus in and not Paper Mario and WW Link are kinda hypocrites.

Now before you tell me stuff like, "Dark Samus is not the same character..and blah blah blah". Maybe you should start seeing why people think these two alternate version of a character should be included. And why Mario and Link should get another version (Especially mario...>.>), and why it has been done in melee, even though it was rushed.

No matter what way you want to look at it, there are two playable Samuses in the game right now. The only thing is that Zamus is not taking another spot in the roster, because she's a transformation character. Plus now, there's Wario-man and possibly Sheik, and you're saying hugely popular characters like Mario and Link shouldn't get another version of themself just because they are bound to take another slot.
So, in the end, it's just to make the roster pretty and filled with different characters. And I find that rather stupid especially if you want people like Balloon Fighter or Animal Crosser.
