Koopaul's actually got a decent third party lineup there, but really it comes down to a matter of opinion(s). With the current lineup the way it is now, it's got room for 2 characters from several of the third parties, which is okay. Personally, if Nintendo did it, I think they'd limit it to one character per party, but Nintendo's not running the show here.
So if up to 2 characters per 3rd party remains the norm, Tails is actually a decent choice for Sega. Tails didn't get on my nerves until he opened up his fuzzy little mouth. Annoying brat... It's not devastatingly hard to give him a moveset that keeps him from being a "Sonic clone", which I don't think he was set up to be in the first place, and if he even shared one move with Sonic, it could be tweaked to act differently.
HOWEVER, on the other side of that, take into consideration that, even though the other 3rd parties are featuring up to 2 characters, take into consideration the fact that as of now, the characters in those parties aren't from the same franchise. Sonic and Tails are, and that is where I think some of the resentment comes from.
While on this note, although the thought should probably be in a topic other than Tails', if Marina and Kosmos aren't liked enough by all, why not add in Saki and Pacman, or some combination like that. Sure, it kinda throws a wrench into the current roster, but Konami's getting two, Sega's getting two, Capcom's getting two (I think.. Viewtiful Joe is in the roster, yes?), so it wouldn't be so farfetched for those other 3rd Parties to get two.
I don't even know what I was rambling about anymore... Tails, keep your mouth shut and you can be on my team, okay? If you talk I'll staple your lips shut.
