Forgive me for being so annoyed by the amount of "secret" newcomers, but I'm just trying to get people to understand why it would suck. Lets say that all but Sonic and Snake are starters. So that's 20 starters (not including ZSS).
Unlockables:
Veterans:
21.Game and Watch
22.Ganondorf
23.Ness
24.Falco
25.Captain Falcon
26.Luigi
27.Jigglypuff
total = 7
Newcomers:
28.Sonic
29.Snake
30.Olimar
31.Wind Waker Link (ehh...kinda, since he's pretty much a young link replacement)
32.Lucario
33.Krystal/Wolf
34.???
35.???
total = 8
Secret character total = 15
Now I admit that 15 secret character is a great number, but not if half of those so-called secrets are known to the smash community. I mean come on, out of melee's 11 secret characters, only Luigi and Jigglypuff were vets. I mean, I know that he didn't intentionally come up with these numbers of unlockables, but come on...Would he really give us such a disappointing line-up of secret characters? I think at least one of these prophets are definitely lying.
