I play abunch of Nintendo from Nintendo to N64 All I had was Nintendo stuff (got PSOne in 1999) and yet in the first smash I played and was like Mario! Luigi! Yoshi! Donkey Kong! Link! Pikachu! Jiggly Puff! Then I was like Fox? Samus... Captain Falcon (WTF!?) Ness (WTF!?) I realized who fox was after cause I owned Star Fox 64, but I didn't think it was him cause his name wasn't star fox. But my point is I didn't know 3 for the original smash and now, I know them and Ness is one of my fav Nintendo characters and I like earthbound and tried it only cause smash. I didn't know, Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, Marth, Roy, etc in Melee and found out who they were cause of it and Note apart from 2 LSA has 19 Series in it, I'm not even sure, Brawl has 19 different games. Also, they could easily do stuff lime make Dr. Nafarious, Captain Quark, Sully, Sev, Elena, The Murray, and so on but one character is enough for now. It has nothing to do with characters not being known cause Quark is well known, sully is and so on |
Solid post.

It's fact *most people* don't have a clue who *most* of the roster is. most people does not = you, which is rather obvious really....but apparently not. |
Most people aren't gamers and wouldn't know this game existed. Obviously we scale down "most people" to "most gamers" so that it is even worth discussing. However that train of thought continues and scales "most gamers" to "Sony gamers". Beyond that we can get so specific as "hardcore Sony gamers that play religiously". Obviously most people know 0/20 while at the opposite side of the spectrum hardcore sony players know 20/20. The important question I think is where this 10/20 croud lies which judging by these posts is right above "most gamers".
