i think i am the first one to ever publically say this, so it can be kept on record. I LIKE CLONE CHARACTERS! i dont see what the big argument is over the similarity of clones. so what if gannondorf is a ripoff of CF, if you would prefer a fast character, top tier, excels at 1 vs 1, then pick CF. if you would prefer to have less speed and more power, a heavy character for some serious multiplayer melee, then you have gannondorf. clones are good for people who cant quite master the origional, or would like something slightly different, but with the same moves. like mario + dr. mario. if you want a bit more speed and a bit less power, take mario. if you like the stopping power of the pills, take the dr. there is no problem with clones, and personally i would love to have every character, even crap characters, make a return apperance. but the fact of the matter is, Masahiro Sakurai already officially announced that some characters are leaving the series, so mabye they get rid of some of the characters that no one uses in tournaments, and you have a kick arse sequel.
