True, but R.O.B is a key "character" from Nintendo history, and there is no other way to add a character from its IP. Also, my point about not being suited to combat wasn't so much about "it wouldn't make sense to have her fighting at all", as it was "it's why she has Pit - he's her avatar, her fighter". Having her as a fighter would be like having General Pepper from Star Fox as a playable character. I'm sure that Sakurai could create a moveset for her that would work... but her character doesn't suit it.
