Im not sure if there are legal reasons for holding K. Rool back. After Rare was bought off by Microsoft; K. Rool showed up in all the Paon developed DK games (like DK King of Swing and Dk Jungle Climber), and he showed up in Mario Super Sluggers.

And what about Dixie Kong man?!

As you and others pointed, I guess I was wrong on the Kremlins and I'm happy to hear it :) So I hope K.Rool joins Smash and I think their is something really wrong with Retro to choose to ignore the Kremlins not once but twice in a row cause they are awsome and way better than those other bad guys they made.

Could'nt care less about Dixie and don't get me started on Cranky. Would be such a huge waiste of character that could have gone to someone else. Already I feel the roster of new characters is far from stellar. 

the 4 newcomers are completely unique! It really seems like we are getting a nice upgrade. Especially the visual effects are so damn beautiful!

They just don't excite me as characters aside from MegaMan.

The villager is just a souless avatar devoid of personality/goals/or any character developement whatsoever. Same thing can be said for the Wii Fit trainer but worst, I don't see her as a video game character but more of some kind of AI built inside a interface to present you a bunch of training games.

As for Rosalina, I'm ok with her. But I feel their is more than enough Mario characters already. But I'm ok with her, especyaly as she seems unique to play.

I want characters with character development and that actualy get to fight in their original games. You can build a moveset for villager or wii fit trainer but I will never recognize those characters in their movesets since they are all made up and they never fought in their games. And I wan't characters that I grew loving cause of their personality/actions/goals or w/v. Like Shulk, Krystal, K.Rool, Bowser Jr, Chrom, Isaac and Medusa.

And the last thing, 3/4 of these characters are recent characters (well maybe I should also exclude the Villager). Both Rosalina and WiiFit tainer are from the Wii era (imo the worst era from nintendo for gamers). And the fact that they are all so recent makes me fear that they will focus on adding new characters instead of old ones that fans have been asking for years like some I mentioned above.

I know they will add other characters and that by doing so they can fix all my complaints. But SO FAR, the new characters are leaving me hoping for more.
