The word around the net is, a lot of people are throwing their votes to bring back characters from past games. So Snake, Wolf and Roy, among others, are getting tons of votes. While I have no problem adding them back into the game, I would prefer to see someone new. Of course, my opinion might be jaded because I never really used Wolf or Roy very much. We already got 4 Fire Emblem characters in the game and Fox and Falco are enough Star Fox characters for me. Also, I really don't want ANOTHER Pokemon. With Mewtwo already being added as DLC, I think we got Pokemon covered pretty well LOL!
I understand what you mean, by the looks of things, both Mewtwo and Lucas have not been changed up too much. So I fail to see how Roy stands any possible chance, How does Lucina not make Roy seem a little bit obsolete? New characters are exciting, new characters are hype. remember how everyone was ecstatic when Mega Man was announced, did people act the same way when Lucario was confirmed to coming back. No, people were just getting butt-hurt over Mewtwo... and Ridley. If they were to introduce just one more returning character, I would choose Wolf. I feel like Star Fox got a bit of a raw deal in this smash iteration. Fox's voice is crippled beyond recognition, Falco has been nerfed pretty harshly and yet still very similar to Fox.
But Wolf was diversified between the two, each attack animation was different with different properties, represent a much more savage character (like a Wolf). His specials were similar but didn't quite work the same as either Fox or Falco. Wolf truely was the only cut character which I believed to be a disservice to the Star Fox franchise as well as the Smash Bros roster, but Wolf's absence is still a bit of a mystery to me, why was he cut? He was a "Clone" which was arguably a "Clone" at all, really I believe that.
"OOHH He's the same proportions, Wolf must be a shameless clone"
How on earth are Marth and Lucina clones? They speak 2 different languages, that isn't in there genes.
The term 'clone' in the smash bros roster is a label which gets thrown around willey nilley, at what point does a character become there own entity. Is Luigi still consider a clone? Semi-clone? (oohhh, that's a fancy term) He still has a bunch of moves which look pretty damn familiar to me.
