Please don't start that "Whining because X wasn't included" bullshit with me. My most wanted was even directly addressed for why he'll never get in.

I'm not saying that certain characters were considered and cut in favor of a clone. I'm saying that time and resources were put into creating 4 modified characters rather than 1 unique one. You seem to be under the impression that making a "Clone" character is just a texture tweak and adding a lightning effect or something, and thus time spent creating them is basically nil in comparison to others.

Additionally, every character has fans and haters. For everyone chanting a particular chicken dragon's name, there's another pointing out how stupid the character is. Popularity power only gets a character so far (Case in point being Chrom, arguably more popular than Robin, but wasn't selected due to not bringing enough variety to the party (Oh the irony) in comparison to Robin).

I don't care who they add. I just want to see something new, but I guess I'm in the wrong in that mentality. If more characters, regardless of how they operate, even if near identical to a pre-existing one, is what you want, then fine. Should they evolve into someone all their own, then wonderful. I still won't see the appeal of 2 characters identical beyond "One's attack sends opponent's vertical. The other's sends them horizontal."

And I do play Dark Pit.
