Let's be realistic here. Birdo? She's a dinosaur just like Yoshi, there isn't much she can do that Yoshi can't do already. All she has ever done in her career of video gaming is spit out eggs. Don't tell me that they can make her original and give her different moves because she's basically a female Yoshi, we don't need two of them (just like my beef with Diddy Kong, we already have one stupid ape, we don't need two.)
Let's also face another fact, this is a popularity contest. Obscure characters aren't going to be added this time around, I even remember Sakurai saying in one of his posts a year ago that he wasn't going to add Japan-only characters anymore, which also hints that it's going to be Nintendo's finest, or famous, whichever word you want to go with (I'm just being logical here.)
Lip is famous in Japan, yes, but she's also well known in America among most gamers. Krystal is just another fox, and since I know absolutely nothing about her (I have never played one Starfox game), I can't agree with her inclusion. If someone could tell me what makes her special, please by all means, tell me!
Those Fire Emblem girls look cool, but I haven't heard of them, and I've been playing video games ever since I was three, and I'm twenty-one now. I'm not saying just because I don't know who they are that many don't, but who else agrees that they aren't popular? I'm just guessing.
As sad as it is, there aren't too many famous female Nintendo characters out there other than the ones who are already confirmed (with the exception of Peach.) Instead of throwing out random girls, let's try and think of ones that could prove useful and would be an asset to the Smash family (I'll try and think of some worth mentioning later.)
