Let's just be glad Waluigi never made it in, considering he was frequently there too

I highly doubt that, its not just the roster that makes Sakurai's bias so inarguably apparent, but OK.

Anyway, here's some new info regarding Final Smashes that no one's mentioned here:

-Dark Pit's Final Smash is a "clone" of Zelda/Sheik's. He pulls out his gun and fires in a straight line, with a slow-mo close up of those caught in the line of fire before launching them away.
-ROB has a new Final Smash very similar to Samus'. He fires a huge beam across the stage.
-Ness' PK Starstorm Final Smash has been redesigned. It is now very similar to Lucario's old Aura Storm. The meteors form a beam in the center of the stage that can be tilted towards enemies.
-Charizard's Final Smash is the same as Yoshi's outside of a new physical attack. Mega Charizard X flies around and can either shoot fire balls (Fire Blast- they explode into the "Dai" Kanji) or charge opponents. It only lasts 15 seconds.
-Lucario's new Mega Lucario Final Smash is very similar to Wario's. For a short time his attacks are super powered.

Footage of Dark Pit, Ness and Charizard FS:

As for who should've been there, Ridley is the obvious candidate. The demand for him as a playable character is huge. Nintendo seems to thrive on doing their own thing instead of actually listening to their customers and providing what is wanted. Dixie Kong also deserved to be in the game.

Also... Bayonetta was made for Smash. It'd have been the perfect way to solidify her new Nintendo-exclusive position as well as be the coolest character on the roster.

And since we're listing our wishes, either Skull Kid and Birdo along with Bayonetta would be my "if I got to choose any character no matter what, it'd be them" options.

When it comes to the roster, I find myself... Satisfied. It certainly isn't what I hoped for and certainly doesn't come close to achieving its full potential, but its not downright crap like the other recent super-hyped Nintendo game; Mario Kart 8. There's infuriating roster choices like Dark Pit and awful cuts like Ice Climbers (and Ivysaur... Sniff) but it doesn't have crap like Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, five babies and NINE cut unique characters.

Honestly I think Tetra should've replaced Sheik the second transformations were cut. Sheik only really existed as a gimmick for Zelda and she's not really very relevant. Her major defining characteristic was her Magical Harp and three games in and she still doesn't touch it in any of her moves!

Depressing fact: "Toon Zelda" and "Toon Sheik" are listed in Brawl as two characters that were never finished (along with Roy, Mewtwo, Dr. Mario, Dixie Kong and Plusle and Minun). I imagine "Toon Sheik" was Tetra...
