Then explain to me why half of Fire Emblem's roster is made of Marth clones, Zelda's nearly a quarter of Link clones, Joker being a Cloud and Shiek hybrid clone, Hero being a Link and Robin clone?
All of these swordfighters are the same. There's nothing remotely interesting about them, and that goes for any other potential candidates not in Smash yet. There isn't a single thing that the likes of Ryu Hayabsua, Dante, Sora, Sir Farfetch'd, or 2B can do that Link, Pit, Cloud, Joker, and every Fire Emblem character hasn't done before in this game.
They're all spiky haired big irised characters that do nothing but swing their sword around. Where's the variety? Where's the uniqueness? Where is the life in these characters?
It's not a "gatekeeping tactic". It's a growing ire of having to put with the same exact thing over and over again for nearly six years. But apparently people like me are the "bad guys". Guess I'll have to blare Billie Ellise from now on.
