You're certainly allowed to have your opinion. But I do like how different the characters are, as well as having a lot of old and new characters.
At the moment the DLC has been pretty fair in that aspect. The six first DLC characters were evenly split: Banjo, Terry and Piranha Plant for the "old" gamers, Byleth and Joker for the recent releases, Hero is a mix of both.
Second pass also gave us a good mix. Pyra/Mythra, Min-Min were, in my opinion, good additions to represent the early Switch releases, Kazuya is a nice representation of Tekken, and the two big names of this pass, Steve and Sephiroth, are directly satisfying the two opposites of the spectrum; Steve for the younger audience, Sephiroth for those who grew up in the era where JRPG were gaining traction.
Really, this DLC has been extremely great, even if it stopped now, despite me not getting some of my most wanted (I want Mimikyu, Waluigi, Rex, Rayman and Porky, and at the moment it's not looking good lol).
Sure, there are characters who are only added for promotion and not because they are "big stars" yet. But you do have to start somewhere. At the time of their inclusion, Lucario and Olimar were only added because they came from a game that released recently. Now, Lucario is still one of the most popular Pokemon, and Pikmin is one of the many series of Nintendo that's requested a lot. For Ultimate, Isabelle and Inkling are also pure promotional picks, but they have a solid fanbase behind them. Sometimes you'll have hits and misses (Sheik and Jigglypuff are, in my opinion, the two luckiest characters to be added in Smash at all), but for a few characters I didn't like that much, there are many I enjoy.
It is a celebration of gaming. One or two characters added just for promoting a game won't change the 70+ characters already in the game which includes Mario, Pikachu, Link, Sonic, Snake, Pac-Man, Megaman and a lot of others. Only sad thing in Ultimate is the lack of trophies, I did like reading some descriptions and learning about a game's story.
Still doesn't change the fact I don't freaking like Pyra and Mytha at all.
I don't like their overally sexualized appearance in spite of the fact that they are teenagers. I don't want to go to jail or be hated by everybody (I'm not a pedo and I wish to be 100% celibate with no sexual desires whatsoever) just for looking at teens who look like strippers (Why couldn't they just be 30 year old women for Cinder Falls sake).
I don't even like Xenoblade at all. I don't like the confusing plot and story that makes zero sense (What is Rex even trying to accomplish in Xenoblade 2 aside from wonder around the country and kill certain monsters for legit reason).
I don't the like characters and how they all have zero motivation for traveling around the world aside from the plot telling them to do so (What's the ultimate goal in Xenoblade 2, What do any of the characters actually want, why do I need to care about them aside from them being the main characters).
While having no personality whatsoever.
I also don't like how the whole game is just a Harem Anime that only exist to be shipping wars the game (I also do not like Fire Emblem or shows like Fairy Tail and Sword Art Online for the same reason).
The locations are bland.
The music is bland.
There's Nothing about Xenoblade or it's spin off that makes it stand out from every other cliched JRPG in existence.
With the story being the same thing over and over again and again.
Seeing Pyra and Mythra in Smash does not make me want to leave my house and go purchase every single thing of Xenoblade merchandise.
Let alone buy 2 billion copies of Xenoblade 2.
Unless somebody can actually give me a reason to care about Xenoblade Beyond just "Your being too harsh on it" Or "Would you stop constantly complaining about everything".
Let alone give me a reason as to why I need to stop everything I'm doing and go play it.
I can't find a reason to care about Xenoblade.
Same deal with Joker, Luminary, Steve, Sephiroth, And Byleth.
Seeing them in the game doesn't magically make me want to buy their or check them out at all.
I don't even like Persona, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Or Minecraft.
I actually played Persona 3. And I hated it. Mainly because the story made no sense. The Main character was beyond uninteresting and had zero personality or charm.
And the game wouldn't play for me when I put a copy into my PS2./
So that turned me off from Persona.
Minecraft was just boring when I first played it.
All I did was just flood the mines and everywhere else and there was barely anything else for me to do in the game.
The DLC in my opinion. Was just disappointing and underwhelming. Not exciting (I remember getting so angry for having wasted my time waiting for the DLC trailers only for me to be let down that I destroyed multiple Nintendo games/Nintendo merch I owned and violently smashed my Wii-U into a concrete floor until it was completely broken).
A giant waste of time. And is not worth buying or purchasing at all.
I don't want to play as those characters (Byleth, Pyra/Mythra, Sephiroth, Steve, Luminary, Byleth, ect). I do not want to buy them at all. And I can't find a single reason to be happy for them being in the game.
This isn't helped by the fact that after the last DLC character is revealed (Just please let be someone like Crash, Doom Guy, A Resident Evil Rep, Bomber Man, Klonoa, Dixie Kong, Porky, Krystal From Star Fox, A New Zelda Character, A New Kirby Character, ect........ Or someone who's not another sword fighter or JRPG rep).
Sakurai will take a lifetime vacation.
With Nintendo deciding that Smash Bros should die and be forgotten about after Smash Ultimate is done with.
Just like how they killed Star Fox, Donkey Kong, Kirby, F-Zero, Splatoon, Kid Icarus and so many other franchises after their creators left (Really wish Nintendo had more faith in their properties instead only caring about three properties like Nickelodeon and DC Comics).
Just to put more Mario/Zelda remakes spin offs I didn't ask for or more boring Pokemon games I just don't care about.
"Sighs" and I was really hoping for an Ultimate addition of Ultimate that at least added the characters I wanted with all the old single player modes that are missing (I wanted the old single player modes to come back more than I did all the characters from the old games) and fixed up online.
I just do not understand why it is whenever I ask for something (A Good Smash Game With So Much Single Player Content And Character's I've been asking for decades, Me being celibate and feeling nothing at all, me being intelligent and not being autistic, me having a huge high paying job, me having a car that doesn't break down on me every 5 minutes, me getting some written works published, ect..............).
I almost never get it.
All I just want is at least one DLC character that's not a dumb sword fighter, that's not a dumb JRPG character, or a dumb "Let cash in on this new game" character.
Is that too much to ask for Sakurai?
And more importantly.
I just want a Smash Game that gives me all the old single player content from the previous games with a story mode that's fun to sit through instead of being a chore to get through.
I want Crash Bandicoot. I want Dixie Kong. I want Porky. I want Rayman. I want Bomber-Man. I Want Krystal. I want A Zelda Rep That doesn't rip off Captain Falcon or Link. I want a new Kirby Character. I want Earthworm Jim. I want the Mach Rider. I want A Rhythm Heaven Character. I want Hades And Medusa From Kid Icarus. I want Lara Croft. I want A Resident Evil Rep. I want Klonoa. I want Doom Guy with no sword. I want Geno. I want an F-Zero character that's not a Captain Falcon clone. I want an Advance Wars Rep. I want Chibi Robo. I want Mike Jones.
That's all I really want.
The best I can at least hope for is that some guy is nice enough to make a Project M mod of Ultimate to throw in that stuff.
Assuming Nintendo is evil enough as forcibly throw out a cease and desist letter.
Not much more needs to be said from me (I'm depressed even more now, thanks Nintendo and Sakurai). Good day and God bless.
