So, Goroh then? I just don't see a reason for a second F-Zero rep, its a bloody racing game. Now imagine that there were absolutely no characters in F-Zero, just cars, not much different right? Captain Falcon represents F-Zero as a whole, a speedy moveset and some powerful moves, what is Goroh going to represent, his own car? What's the difference, how it handles? Besides that, he isn't even a major character in the series, he's been in since the first game yeah. You know who else has been in a series since the first game? Toad (Super Mario Bros, not counting Donkey Kong and Mario Bros.) is he important to the series overall? Yeah. Has he been playable in the series? Yeah. Does that mean he should get in Smash? Obviously not because he's still Peach's meatshield and Sakurai: "rororRosalina."
Really there just isn't anyone important to F-Zero because it's a racing game and it's about cars and obviously racing. Captain Falcon just gets in because of seniority and because he's kind of the face of the series. Like Marth is to Fire Emblem. I'm not saying Goroh can't get in now, it's just a ****ty excuse of a reason to want him "just so F-Zero has a second character." It doesn't need a second character.
