sometimes, i feel like wanting a character in Smash isn't necessarily 100% about the character being playable, as a fighter, in Smash.
i feel like it is, of course, a part of the hype surrounding characters that people want in, but, the limelight "being in Smash Bros." gives a character is incredible, and puts a character into the mainstream immediately, causing more recognition and demand for that character to show up again.
"""irrelevant""" characters like k rool and the belmonts have gotten lots of fanart and attention, and even the more current characters like incin, joker, and isabelle have had a big boost in attention. they even gave a plant a "personality", and gave it a community
Smash does things to characters, and while thinking of playing as Geno, Banjo, 2B, even fuckin Plok may be fun to imagine, i feel the real thing hyping people up about characters they genuinely care about is the press they recieve, which is fully understandable.
also, artfag, i can do some reqs
