Sakurai's reasoning behind Fox-Falco-Wolf moveset?

Melee had 3 Mario Clones (Dr. Mario, Mario, Luigi), so 3 Fox Clones in this game doesn't seem so out of place.

Also, Bowser Jr. is an Assist Trophy.

I would have loved to see Captain N in the game. We can always hope to see the engine of this game act as a spring board for the next sequel.

 There was a decent difference between Mario and Luigi and it will get more pronounced in Brawl. In Melee there are moves unique(ish) to Luigi and a couple moves work fairly differently. It isn't exactly fair to call Luigi a clone of Mario in any game past the original.

I haven't read any posts in this topic except for the first but:



Falco and Wolf are half clones. I always wanted Wolf to be in Brawl

 How on earth is Falco classified as a half-clone? They have the same move set!
