I agree. The gigantic roster is a little absurd, IMO. It's entertaining one time, but I haven't enjoyed a Smash game the same way since Melee, and it's not just because the changes in fighter mechanics. Melee's roster was a great size IMO, with the right variety, and each game since then has blurred the lines from fighter to fighter too much. There's not enough distinction anymore.

They could at least change the Echo Fighters into their own unique fighters. Dark Samus would work much better with the Phazon-based attacks she had as an Assist Trophy, instead of just being Samus with a creepier design.

We keep talking about reducing the cast and you keep suggesting to expand it. How about just getting rid of Dark Samus? Do really need it? Lets pretend that the next smash bros was going to be reboot with a cast of 30 playable characters. Lets pretend only 10 of those characters will be returning characters. Why should Dark Samus Return? Between Ridley and Dark Samus, Ridley all the way. Why have Dark Samus take up a slot?
