Although I do argue Pokemon has so much potential it justifies it.

I love Villager though! I've been playing New Leaf nearly every single day since release so I'm so glad he got in. I think Animal Crossing definitely were due a character slot considering its solidified itself as one of Nintendo's top brands. I think they've managed to make him look really unique and fun so that excites me! Seriously, nothing has excited me for a video game more then that little reveal cut scene of Villager getting a letter in the first trailer since Bayonetta 2's announcement and Mega Venusaur's reveal. I squealed like a little girl!

Of the others, Megaman is cool, but I'm not a Megaman fan so I don't find myself too excited by him, Rosalina is a strange choice but her move-set is awesome, don't care for Pacman, Little Mac is a deserving choice but I'm not a Punch Out! fan, Palutena is honestly to me a bad choice (Kid Icarus currently holding as many slots as Metroid? Don't like) but her move-set actually does look like it justifies her position and Greninja is definitely not my top choice for a Pokemon but once again I do like his move-set a lot.

I also agree about Dark Samus. I felt FOR SURE that either Dark Samus or Ridley would get in, but the implication is that neither are! It seems like a kick in the crotch if Metroid gets no Newcomers and two of the most deserving Smash candidates get delegated to "stage hazard" and "Assist Trophy".

I just don't get no Ridley though. I mean, he is by far the most requested character, he comes from one of Nintendo's biggest franchises (which ironically still only has TWO representatives and they're the same character) and deserves the spot over nearly everyone revealed so far. I can't fathom why they seem so adamant not to please people by putting him in.

This is why Ridley doesn't get in.
