"One prominent example not specific to any one character or franchise is the amount of sword-wielding characters that are playable on the roster. This doesn't just mean characters that use their sword and only their sword like Marth, Ike, or Shulk, but anyone that happens to
have a sword, like Link and Robin. As of the fourth game, nine out of the 50-someodd characters have swordplay as part of their movesetnote , which is a point of contention for people talking about roster additions or cuts. Swords are fairly prominent in Nintendo's
high fantasy franchises, so people will often point out that their
respective protagonists will usually get first dibs for new roster additions, so more swords should be expected. On the other hand, other people are seeing this as a reason to call for characters like
Hector or
Simon Belmont to make the jump to the roster just because they have a non-sword weapon. Heaven forbid you want to discuss how potentially different
Isaac,
Saki, or
Takamaru could be compared to anyone else, just because they use swords of some kind. This discussion is also only ever held about swords and nothing else, despite the latest game having nearly as many firearm-wielding characters as sword users"
There we have it fellows, TV Tropes had perfectly described the Smash community in a nutshell.
