Super Smash Bros. 4

No, actually, they are important characters in Nintendo history, including Donkey Kong. All chatacters are based on their history and sometimes they add some new characters based on new games in the series released on or near the year the SSB game is made. Or, at least, that's what it seems.

I know. They got in only because they were important, not because of fanbase demand. They didn't need fanbase demand. That's why they're bad examples. Pit's a better example, because he's not super important, so he needed popular demand to get in.

Naw, they also got in cause they're major major (in this case, the stars) characters in their own series.

Of course, the stars of the series are in. And they put the most popular series in. Or so it seems.......

Jigglypuff would be the better example
also adding a female character to a male roster is a smart business move

Sakurai needs to confirm that she's a chick, goddamnitt. She probably is, so just out with it, fool!

[Mr. MR]

I am pretty sure it's a chick
75%

but that satistic does not even matter in Smash
so 90%

Take into account her girly alternate costumes and I'd say more like 99%

[Mr. MR]

Taking into account the Japanese
90%

I don't think popularity is a very decisive factor in Smash Bros.

Sonic and Snake disagree.

I'm sure it was, because I had never heard of him prior to Brawl, either.

Then you ain't no retro gamer, son. ... Neither am I, but I certainly knew of Kid Icarus.

Point in fact to point out is that a main reason Pit got in was to show he is making a mark on Nintendo history via his new Kid Icarus game that launched shortly after Brawls release.
