 That makes sense, however, I feel as though if you’re making something of the caliber of Smash you are practically required to add x amount of characters for advertising and gabber (Example; You can now play as X many characters! ), which seems to me that Sakurai couldn’t reach that quota and threw a few  clones and weak characters in to make it seem like a large rooster.  Doing tricks like separating Zelda and sheik and Samus and Zero suit also was a part of this I assume.    I doubt they would have let it slide if they didn't add those clones, which could have been poteintially newer and more excity character designs.  For a franchise that isn't at the bottom of a barrel.  

Can't speak for Zelda, since I don't use her often, but I'm glad Samus and ZS Samus were seperated. I can actually use ZS competively now. So no complaints there.

I haven't been following Smash's ad complain too closely, but I imagine they'd still have grounds to call the cast larger even ignoring those 5 or 6 characters. Though really, since every game has had clones, I don't really see the need to complain about them adding a few more on this one at the last minute. I personally felt the new characters stood out a lot more in this game than Brawl. The existence of a couple clones doesn't change that.
