Ultimate DLC has ruined people’s requests/expectations for newcomers
Every list now seems to disregard the idea that Smash Bros is a NINTENDO fighting game first and foremost. So many rosters are adding 20 third party characters from niche games that realistically shouldn’t/won’t be in smash rather than actually including any new fighters from Nintendo IP. People are setting themselves up for disappointment when the next game follows ultimate’s model, with the base game adding actual Nintendo characters and the dlc focusing on third parties. I think there needs to be a line drawn in the sand on what a smash fighter should be, because I’m seeing way too many people suggest Jonesy and the fucking Cut the Rope Guy over Zelda characters and Paper Mario
