I hate all this talk of sales and how SONY doesn't have enough big names.

1) Not every character in Brawl was that popular. Metroid hasn't been doing big numbers for ages. Fire Emblem never did. SONY has a number of franchises that are on par or bigger than the likes of Fire Emblem, Pikmim, Metroid, Ice Climbers, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, F-Zero, and Earthbound. These days Kirby isn't even exactly selling that big compared to SONY's big names.

What's left is just Mario, Pokemon and to a lesser extent, Zelda. I actually loaded up the game just now to look at the roster again and really, there aren't that many franchises in this game anyway that SONY can't compete with. They even use character that hardly anyone knows about like ROB, Mr Game and Watch.

2) Does anyone give a shit about a game just being good anymore? Smash would still be fun without the Mario and Legend of Zelda cast, people. At my school, a lot of the people that play with certain character really don't know anything about their original games. They just like the character they're playing with in the game that they're playing and that's all that matter.

"Does anyone give a shit about a game just being good anymore?"

lol no for a fighting game to be good its characters must be popular who cares about all that other shit like game mechanics that actually you know... affect gameplay

the irony here is that as you said ( even though i used to play consoles like the n64 and cube with my cousins and friends ) aside from some of the mario characters, link and pokemon i didn't know of most of the ssb roster... guys like game and watch, ice climbers, pit, roy etc were completely unknown to me
