average non gamer normies would find a lot of them to be nobodies.
star fox sure as hell isn't known to the casual since it hasn't had a release in ages. captain falcon, G&W, trainer, ness, lucas, ice climbers, the pits, palutena, mega man, terry, kazuya, simon, richter, lil mac, and duck hunt might as well be smash originals since casuals wouldn't know them from anything outside smash. toon link and dr mario are just funny costumes for mario and link to them.
sounds nuts but think about it, does the average dad gamer, little kid, or fifa fan really know what f zero, kid icarus, castlevania, or ice climbers is? they just see them as "the smash bros guys". when you design a smash roster you're appealing to a crowd of gamers who actually play games, the casuals will always come as long as they see mario and pikachu because smash is a big name and it's typically the nerds that are roster fags not them.
I do agree that too many oddballs spoils a game. just look at that new mario kart, way too silly with the picks. a cow and a random mook is cool but too many of them and it all just feels so stupid and insulting.
also I hope they trim fire emblem picks in a reasonable way. marth and a handful of lords would be fine so him, ike, and roy since those are pretty much smash's well known picks for legacy FE characters then just robin since awakening was a big one that people would appreciate. corrin and byleth should be left behind, I main corrin but even I know it's unreasonable to keep her. fuck byleth. alear and the new nigger boy will be the new FE fighters I guess. hope they make the obligatory DLC fe fighter a non sword or a villain.
imagine a dlc reveal that was a normal boring one for celica only to be interrupted by duma and have him be the actual fighter with him being a gimmick MASSIVE fighter that always has hp instead of knockback regardless of game mode and celica just being an echo for marth or something.
