It's ok to have wrong opinions every once in a while.No sir, friend. Take out Banjo and Steve and put in...um... well... there actually isn't a Microsoft rep I'd want. I'd be neutral towards Steve, buuuut… I'm kind of against Banjo getting in, but that's just me

I wasn't trying to be entirely serious with my previous post but I'll address your points anywho.Snake actually had his fair share of Nintendo action. Hell, Twin Snakes was playable on the Wii. And we later even got MGS3 on the 3DS.
As with Cloud, the FFVII remake was no where close to release and he was considered more a representation of the Final Fantasy series. Not to mention, now Final Fantasy VII is coming to the Switch, the original version.
Whereas Resident Evil 2 original or remake, it's absent. Not really comparable.
You're right, Snake did have good representation on Nintendo, he did. But that was pre Brawl. Which is the whole point I was making to begin with. You said the games that Dante and Leon were starring in weren't CURRENTLY coming to Nintendo systems. When Snake was added Metal Gear Solid 4 was no where close to coming to the Wii and MGS3D was 4 years away.
When, Cloud was announced for Smash we had no reason to believe FFVII Remake was that far away. There was gameplay in 2015. Saying that Cloud is meant to represent the entirety of FF is fine. Absolutely. But you can't just ignore the fact that his next BIG game was coming out and Nintendo wasn't getting it. We're getting FFVII now, sure, but that could apply to Dante or Leon too. Who's to say DMC won't get a release on the Switch down the road. You can't just say "Now we're getting it so it's ok". It doesn't make any sense in terms of speculation.
Leon is heading to Switch RIGHT NOW. Resident Evil 4 is on its way to the system as we speak. It is comparable. You can't just change facts to suit your argument. Resident Evil 4 is Leon's game and it's coming to Switch, confirmed, when Snake was announced there was no sign of an MGS coming to the Wii or DS. You also failed to prove my point wrong by mentioning that Cloud was in that 3DS FF game that was announced in the same December Direct that announced his inclusion in Smash.
Opinions are meant to be subjective that's the point. I was saying that his supporting cast is far more interesting. You can think other wise and that's fine. I was just stating how I felt. Most of speculation is subjective. There's really no need to say "Pffft!" over my opinion of a characterPffft! That's where the line of subjectivity comes into play. You're kidding yourself if you think Capcom or the majority of consumers have that mindset about the face of the franchise. Spring Man he ain't.
It was meant as a joke and I thought I made that fairly obvious but here ya go..
Source? Not that it would matter either way since he wasn't really the creator of Leon to begin with.
