Well let me explain myself. I guess I have a problem with characters like Greninja is that they aren't icons yet. They're just the flavor of the month or a passing fancy. We don't know how popular or important Greninja is going to be in the future.
That said, I would have prefered Toad over Rosalina. Yeah Rosalina has been around for a good while but not as long as Toad has. However, I mostly felt like Mario didn't need much more than he had in Brawl. Four or five characters seems like a good fair number... now focus on other franchises.
You're right about Duck Hunt being an important icon. Although I think most people don't remember him as a beloved icon, more one of frustration. But still, I'll give in that Duck Hunt was a fair choice.
In short I wanted characters that either: (A. have some history. (B. from a series that doesn't already have a bunch of fighters.
And it doesn't have to be a series that I'm overly fond of. Like I don't care about Advanced Wars, never really played it. However, I know that it's series has been a long part of Nintendo history with lots of games under it's belt. It deserves WAY more then it gets in Smash. I guess when it comes to Smash, I want it to be fair... as fair as possible at least. And this had got to be one of the least fair additions to the series.
