We already waited 7 YEARS for the right characters to appear. But no. Still nothing. I'm not going to wait another 7 years for two characters. 7 years. You wouldn't understand, considering all your lofty, unflavorful needs are always done with Mario. SOME of us would like some flavor.
Good job assuming the character I use is Mario. Really.
If you actually read my previous posts here, I've said that I like to use a lot of the characters, and always up for trying new characters out, whoever they are.
This roster of new characters is awesome, as I've also said. ROB, Wolf, WW Link, Captain Olimar, all totally awesome. I wanna try all of these guys out. I've hardly ever used Mario in Smash Bros., or any other game where a bunch of characters are playable instead.
I don't care much about Toad, he's cool, but I'm not going to be all emo about him not being playable. He's fine under Peach's dress.
I'd really rather see a variety of characters from a bunch of different franchises instead of an "unflavorful" palette of ones from the same series.
And Linkin's right, it really is STUPID to argue over something as petty as this. There's lots more to a game than CHARACTERS. Geez.
