What prevented Shadow for being an Clone/Echo in Smash?

Literally the biggest wasted potential in Smash history, they put literal who's like Chrom, Ritcher and Dark Samus over Shadow, the second most popular Sonic character who has been in over 40 games.

he's a nigger

I agree, the echos are shit (besides Ken) and he would have been the perfect addition.

Hackurai doesn't actually care about making a good Smash game. He just wants to make money off of it.
He put Ridley and K. Rool in as an excuse to pretend he cares about the fans so he can get away with filling the rest of the roster with garbage.

Sakurai autism.

actually this, he put in Ryu, Cloud, Joker, and Hero to make his resume even bigger because no other franchise he could actually make would bring him the big bucks, it's classic nip business shit

He's only popular because of retarded fujoshitters

Honestly, the only other Sonic character Sakurai's gonna add is Amy.

Your reasoning makes literally no sense. If it was just for money then Shadow WOULD be in over Ridley, K. Rool and others because he's the more popular one.

Shadow wouldn't bring in more money or add anything new to Sakurai's resume, hence why we got so many third parties
