Melee had exactly four sword users, therefore that is the perfect amount and any more than that is excessive.

Though that doesn't stop people from wanting that Golden Sun guy in the game.

Too much fuckin blue hair!!!!! Im sick of it!!! Is there any brunettes,dirty blondes, reds heads, Represented? Blue hair is not even natural so why would un natural beat out natural? Makes no sense ... So now if all those blues all get picked the battlefield becomes a unnatural mess making!!! Lets talk about all the blue in general ... SO MUCH BLUE in this in this game!!!! Whats the opposite of a fire crotch? A frost crotch? Do they all have blue balls too? All the special effects are mostly blue!!! What gives??? Why were all the blue pokemon brought in?? If mewtwo was blue he’d be in!!!! The default team color is bluuuue!!!! How much do you guys waana be next announced character has a mostly blue color scheme???

Says the Sonic fan LOL

The problem is, none of the recent axe users are main characters and the lance users that are close to main always ride a horse. That being said, a horse rider in smash would be cool. Four Fire Emblem characters is more than I could have hoped for.

Sword fighters in Smash don't really bother me! What bothers me is the lack of villans!

I agree.

No one has been complaining since months and months ago.....

This. You don't really realize it until you go on the outside world. 

I don't care about the number of sword users, but find the amount of guys in short shorts appalling.

My question to them: Are you going to buy it or not? Because that's all the devs care about. Why complain? You know Sakurai is making a good game anyhow. Just don't choose the fighters if you want. You can't turn down popularity. However, I will say that there are other main weapons besides swords that aren't being creatively utilized. I would love for Ganondorf to not be a Captain clone and instead use that sword that he never uses except Twilight Princess.
