May I also mention that its also somewhat of a kick in the shins when Ice Climbers, Wolf, Lucas, and Snake all got cut on the same game we got three uninspired clones in. The time it took to contract voice actors, do the modelling, and planning for the cloned could have been used to either
A.) Make Ganondorf Ganondorf, for example
Or
B.) Put at least two the removed Brawl characters back in, because reimplementing their Brawl data and giving them high poly models should take about just a bit more effort than it takes to make a clone. The voices are there, the animations are there, the ideas are there, almost no planning is needed. After all, that's how Smash 4's roster mainly is. Brawl ported characters with the same music, voices, and just slightly tweaked move properties. The codebase I'm guessing is either the same engine, or mostly copy pasted. (even the same bugs are present).
