I don't see why it causes such commotion to have more characters, seeing that this Smash has a lot of really unique characters so far...And given time, clones can have the opportunity to differentiate themselves from their similar brethren. I mean, look how different Luigi got from Mario by the time of Brawl, for example.
EDIT: plus, soulcaliburfan's post above has a good point about customized movesets already having the opportunity to allow for SSB4 clones to differentiate themselves.
