Eh, some words have seemingly lost their meaning the way they’re used in Smash speculation.
“This fictional character deserves to be in Smash”... that’s quite the LOL from me. This is almost as bad as “rep”. Clearly, the characters created their own games, and weren’t created by hard working developers that created every single aspect of their being.
“Irrelevant”- not sure how a character/series can be irrelevant if we’re talking about them right now.
There are plenty of characters that could be “relevant” that, ironically, aren’t in Smash. It’s almost as if being “relevant” doesn’t make you any more likely unless you’re a Pokémon.
Looking at you Bandanna Waddle Dee, Elma, and Rex!
Still finding it interesting that, even after Piranha Plant being said to be added because everybody recognizes it, and the gameplay potential it has, very few people think, “Hey this character would be good because of their gameplay potential”.
