Felt I should explain myself a bit more from earlier.
My whole deal is that while there are some characters I think
should be in (Isabelle and Dixie, for example), the ones I truly want just tend to come from my select few favorite franchises. It just so happens that those three franchises are the ones with the most characters on the roster. Among Nintendo-owned unrepresented series, the main ones that'd excite me are either already confirmed as an Assist (Starfy) or have virtually no shot of showing up due to poor sales (Henry Fleming).
Some may feel that I'm boxing myself in a bit by focusing on just three franchises, but at this point I honestly can't be disappointed. Back in Smash 4 there were two main characters I wanted in: Little Mac and Chrom. I got one in the most spectacular way and lost the other in the most devastating way, and that served to make me temper my expectations without losing all hope. To be fully honest I'm not expecting to get
any of my most wanted newcomers just to not be disappointed.
But at this point I can't be disappointed. My favorites (
) are all back and Marth speaks English now. That last thing I thought would be one of the less likely things on my wish list due to fear of "tradition" prevailing. So I'm happy.
But at the same time I'd never deny myself the chance to be even
more happy, as this is a situation where such happiness wouldn't hurt anyone. And it just so happens that Mario, Pokémon, and Fire Emblem all have multiple characters I'd like to see in Smash, chances be damned, and naysayers' whining be damned harder. Captain Toad, Waluigi, even E. Gadd or Shy Guy? Bring 'em all in. Decidueye, Marowak, Klefki, Ribombee, Shiftry, Chandelure, Ursaring, Sawsbuck, Qwilfish, Trevenant, Sigilyph, Volcanion? Better believe I'd be thrilled. Chrom, Celica, Caeda, Merric, Virion, Silque, Hardin, Tobin, Tiki, Mae, Lena, Frederick, Minerva, Saber? Hell yeah. The sky's the limit when you're left solely to your own desires, and that makes it all the better if any of them ever actually get in by some miracle.
That's just the way I look at it anyway. I just like supporting things I personally like, without paying mind to public perception. Because where's the fun in letting public opinion dictate your wish list?
